"Socalj" for Borderland Beat
Translated from a La Presse Article
Three years, almost to the day, after former organized crime hitman Frédérick Silva turned his back on the Mafia and began cooperating with Canadian authorities, they have been making their first arrests early Thursday morning targeting the leaders of the Sicilian clan of the Montreal Mafia as well as Hells Angels and gang members.
Silva, who will receive a record sum of over $3 million dollars in exchange for his confessions and testimony, as we first revealed last winter, would allow them to solve some 60 murder plots over a period of more than two decades in Quebec organized crime.
"This is one of the hardest blows to organized crime," said Benoit Dubé, Deputy Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Sûreté du Québec, at a press conference Thursday morning announcing the operation dubbed Project Alliance.
