The condemnation of a New Brunswick Hells Angels in Ontario shows how this organization is present everywhere in Canada. This is the analysis made by Julian Sher, a journalist and author based in Montreal.

“This is a fascinating case, because it shows several things. It shows the power of the hells still across the country. It shows that it is a national criminal organization, “he said in an interview with Radio-Canada Acadie.

This expert closely follows the crime organized for decades has written several works on this subject. His latest book, recently published, is called ” Yves Apache Trudeau: The history of the deadliest Hells Angels in Canada ».

He believes that the case of Robin Moulton clearly demonstrates that the Hells are increasingly rooted in the Maritimes.

“When the Hells were really strong in Canada in the 1990s […] They directed their activities in the Maritimes almost as a branch of the Hells here in Quebec. The Halifax chapter was directly controlled by a member of the nomads based here in Montreal. However, we saw in the 21st century the installation of Hells directly in the Atlantic provinces, ”he explains.

Julian Sher points out that in recent years we have also seen the emergence of support clubs in the region, including the Red Devils and the Darksiders. A fact that is not unrelated to the rooting of the Hells, according to him.

“It is important, because you have to always ensure the next generation. Precisely, when a member in good standing of the Hells is arrested, it must be ensured that there are new members who are ready to replace him. »»
