-Gregory Woolley was the leader of a Haitian street gang

in Montreal who fostered strong ties with

both the Hells Angels and the Rizzuto crime family.

-The Rizzutos relied heavily on the Hells Angels for muscle,

for resources.

And then at some point,

I would say in between 2019 and 2022, that all frayed.

And by 2022,

the Hells Angels were intent on taking out the Rizzuto mob

instead of helping the Rizzuto mob.

-Gregory Wooley played all sides of the Montreal and Quebec

turf wars, and this is a very interesting part

of Gregory Woolley as an outsider.

Why was Gregory Woolley an outsider?

He was Black.

These gangs are notorious for having

white supremacist leanings,

but Gregory Woolley was special.

-He was a go-to guy to get dirty work done.

And the Italians would use him as well as

the bikers would use him

because he had access to street gangs.

-People called Greg Woolley Picasso

because he's made crime an art, quote unquote,

as somebody that could get everybody to a negotiating table

and sell something as good for everybody.

But by 2022,

Woolley is starting to bump heads with some pretty major,

powerful Hells Angels.

-Martin Robert appears to have been one

of the Hells Angels who did not agree with siding with Rizzuto,

so Greg had enemies inside the Hells Angels.

But he had chosen his side in the war,

and it was a dangerous war.

There were bodies all over the streets of Mafia leaders.

[ Gunshots ]

-These feuds are reaching a boiling point

in the summer of 2023.

I don't know if Woolley had a complete grasp

of the dynamite he was playing with.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

-I'm not this kind of person

who, like, didn't know what my husband was or did in his past.

But, I mean, that was not the person he was to me.

The media here are picturing him like he's a bad person,

but they didn't know anything about his private life.

He was a really good father and a great husband.

Greg didn't want any of his kids to go through the same path.

He wanted to put them in environments

that make them very far from what he had to go through.

What he chose, actually.

♪♪

-He's a bridge between the Hells Angels and the Mafia.

But that also means he's now got twice the enemies, right?

-He was a threat to a lot of different people.

Your life becomes less complicated

when you get a guy like that out of the way.

-Sometimes he was like, "Let's move to another country.

I'm tired."

He was not into it anymore since I got pregnant again.

He was so happy when he knew it was, like, a daughter.

Something change in his attitude.

He wanted to have a girl so bad, and he was so happy.

So he started to disconnect himself

from this other part of his life.

I was kind of like, "Okay, this kid is really going to change him at the end."

I wish Greg was more scared,

because I remember I was like a little like, "No, don't do this.

Don't go there. You should be careful."

He's like, "Don't worry, nothing's going to happen."

He used to say that, and he was ignoring the signs.

Every war, every conflicts, every time that you take a side,

well, there's another side who's not happy about it.

-He was a big player in a very dangerous game.

He had sided with the Rizzuto clan,

the older leaders of the Mafia,

and there were people

who had wanted badly to get rid of the Rizzutos.

He had picked his side in the Mafia war

and the Hells Angels war.

-So I never really talked about that day

because, I mean, I wasn't ready.

I remember I gave birth,

and we had that appointment at the doctor to check the baby.

He wanted to be there.

And I remember when we left the office, it was like,

"I'm so happy I came."

And we were walking in the parking...

♪♪

He got into the passenger seat and opened up the door for me,

and I looked at him in the back.

I looked at him and I look at my daughter, and I was like, "Wow,

I made something good in life to have them in my life," you know?

And he didn't have the car seat clipped right yet,

so I turned my head.

I looked straight, and I hear the gunshot.

I turned like this, and all the bullets were flying.

I looked at my husband. He gets fast on clipping her.

He did this. I saw him receive the bullets.

And he fell on the floor.

And I took him into my arms, and I look at the baby,

if the baby was okay. I saw she was okay.

I closed the door. I hold him until the ambulance come.

But it was too late. He lost too much blood.

-He was very powerful and very well-connected.

And today, Gregory Woolley was gunned down in a parking lot

in broad daylight.

-When I saw the way that Gregory Woolley was shot,

to me, it's just, you know, it's just the way it had to go.

It had to come.

There's a cleanup

that's being made, uh, within the criminal community.

-Gregory Woolley,

a longtime street gang leader and biker gang member,

was shot dead in a parking lot in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

-Imagine you're Gregory Woolley.

You pull up in your beautiful car

with your beautiful wife and your child.

You aren't really thinking at that point of -- of danger.

And he should have.

-Woolley was incredibly skilled

at playing both sides of the fence,

but in this case, it proved fatal.

-The death, they say, may be linked to organized crime.

-The fact that the people that put this contract on Woolley's head

decided to do it in such a brazen manner

and in such a disrespectful manner was a message.

It was a message that if you follow in his footsteps,

we're going to do the same thing to you.

[ Man speaking foreign language ]

-There's always a settling of accounts.

That always has been the excuse given by police

when they can't solve a crime.

But, you know, in effect, why it's done.

Settling of accounts.

-Observers are calling this a major event

in Montreal's crime world,

and there are fears of more violence to come.

-Looking back at it,

I told him so many times to get out of this.

I don't say this what kills Greg,

but, I mean, some of the things he did at the end

to help people didn't help him out.

-Police are still looking for a shooter,

who they say fled in a black SUV.

Shortly after the shooting,

a burned-out vehicle was found in Montreal.

-There were a bunch of machinations

that were going on behind the scenes with the Rizzutos,

the Hells Angels, and other street gang leaders.

-The Hells Angels are moving in on their gambling turf

rather than working with them like they have in the past.

-And Marty and the Hells Angels,

he went from looking at it

as, "We're happy to have a piece of this,"

to, "We want the whole pie."

-We're talking about $160 million.

That's how much flowed through this sports website.

-People lose their, you know, livelihoods and money over it.

Um, and then there's the violence associated

to the control of the illegal gaming.

-Power is shifting in the mob world,

and it's causing tension and conflict.

The police are doing everything they seemingly can

to try and at least slow down

motorcycle gangs, organized crimes.

They put all sorts of

multidisciplinary task forces on them.

-This is a -- an example of a vest

that's been seized during a police investigation.

It's like their official uniform. Um, they wear --

they wear this patch to project power.

They try and use this to scare rivals, show their affiliation.

And they do have specific rules surrounding the -- the vests.

Organized crime groups are motivated by profit

and making money. So if we can reduce that profit,

it will reduce their ability to commit further crimes.

The mission of the Biker Enforcement Unit

is to conduct investigations

on any organized crime outlaw motorcycle gang,

but the Hells Angels currently remain at the top of that list.

They're like any criminal organization.

They're going to learn from court disclosure.

They're going to learn from mistakes they've made.

-The Hells Angels have had trouble in the last decades

because there's been, as we all know, more heat --

more police involvement, more prosecutions.

-A massive operation by multiple police forces

to dismantle an alleged underground gambling ring

whose revenue, police say, exceeded $160 million.

-With the corporatization of organized crime,

what you're seeing is different methods.

They're being more effective and more efficient

but also, uh, more in-your-face.

-Anytime there's high levels of profit, illegal profit,

there's going to be competition for that profit.

-Project Hobart, which was really the biggest,

most notorious outlaw biker gang prosecution in Ontario,

was really about all of the things that have changed

in Hells Angels, outlaw biker gangs' modes of operation.

-According to court documents,

the biker gang allegedly poured millions

gained from an underground gambling ring into cash, bikes,

and even waterfront land.

-Project Hobart was initiated

because of the violence associated

with the illegal gaming market,

so the Biker Enforcement Unit and the OPP

obtained intelligence and information

regarding an escalation of violence.

It included shootings, attempted murders, arsons.

This presented a clear danger to the public,

and police had to act on it.

-Court documents say millions flowed to the Hells Angels

at the top of a pyramid of bookies,

each with their own code name.

-The police put a number of resources onto this project.

They charged a number of people,

including the heads, the higher-ups here.

We're not just talking the underlings.

The top of the food chain for Project Hobart

was Robert Barletta.

-Rob Barletta was a key figure in the investigation

and was identified as a leader in the organized crime group

responsible for the illegal gaming network.

-Robert Barletta is thought to be one

of the highest-ranking people

in the Hells Angels, almost untouchable.

-You could say Barletta is like

the, um, Warren Buffett of the bad guys.

He knows where to go, and he knows what to invest,

and he knows how to read people, and he doesn't waste time in stupid meetings.

-Teflon Rob is sort of a -- a-a stealing of the terms

that we use for other people that we know are untouchable.

You'll remember the name Teflon Don.

Now, Teflon Rob is the more polite version of it,

because this is a guy that basically

has never had a speeding ticket.

He is somebody that is really in the crosshairs

of a number of people, from law enforcement to people

who are most assuredly not in law enforcement.

-Teflon Rob got his nickname for his ability

to dodge law enforcement, dodge prison,

and then, frankly, you know, dodge bullets.

-In 2020, he survives an assassination attempt

by people who are obviously angry at him.

-This assassination attempt was caught on

surveillance footage.

First, we see Rob Barletta passing by.

And a few seconds later, two men appear.

He's being followed.

-My sources said that it was a murder-for-hire plot,

and likely, these were members of street gangs

carrying out this assassination attempt.

And sometimes when you hire street gangs,

you get what you pay for.

You get incompetent hit men.

You can watch the video, and you see they waited way too long.

[ Gunshots ]

Barletta had passed the car, and he was just about in his house

when they finally got out and started shooting.

They opened fire, firing wildly.

One of the guys was running backwards

and shooting, even though he wasn't coming under fire.

-Barletta survived the attempt on his life

but would find himself the target of Project Hobart.

-The police bring almost on a silver platter to prosecutors

evidence, wiretaps, surveillance video.

Despite mountains of evidence, thousands of pages of evidence,

we're talking over 20 people charged,

and the prosecution turned into a complete and total bust.

And it made the public wonder, "Well, what was this all for?"

-"There was no plan."

Those are the words a Crown lawyer used to explain

how the prosecution of a gambling ring supplying

millions of dollars to Ontario Hells Angels is in tatters.

-One of the things in Canada

that continues to be a struggle of the criminal justice system

is not necessarily the police work

that goes into these projects.

Things fall apart at the prosecutorial level.

-But documents show the Crown Attorney's office in Brampton,

where the case would be prosecuted,

was not prepared for the volume.

-They will have 65 police officers doing a project

or a task force, but they will have one or two attorneys -- one or two.

Now, there's only so much human bandwidth in a day.

-The evidence generated by the efforts

of 14 law enforcement agencies

added up to more than 200,000 pages of documents.

-The prosecution gets bankers' boxes filled with documents.

You could basically stack them up to the size

of the Empire State Building. I mean that literally.

-Not a single jail sentence came out of Hobart.

-People are walking away with no record.

And a paper -- paper trail obtained by CTV News shows

the provincial government knew the case was in trouble

but did not do enough to save it.

-Cases against all of the alleged ringleaders,

Robert Barletta never went to trial.

Really made them look incompetent and ineffective.

-And I can only imagine the response in the task force

and the police department offices that say,

"We brought you a case on a silver platter.

You can't prosecute it correctly?

What in the world is going on?"

-Now, let me see. I'm going to...say it.

Just, uh...

So as we started this investigation --

So, I'm going to go back.

Police c-conduct investigations, gather evidence,

and if there's reasonable grounds

to substantiate criminal charges,

we present that to the courts.

Once it goes through the courts, it's out of police hands.

It's their job to take that, those charges

and that investigation, through the court process.

-I think what we began to see

is that mega trials would lead to mega headaches.

When you have something like 160 defendants,

it gets insane, and the justice system just gets calcified.

-The higher up you go in terms of the people you target

in transnational organized crime,

the more sophisticated the investigations have to be.

The techniques have to be, you know, undercover officers,

wiretaps, you know, seizing devices that are encrypted,

that have to be decrypted.

Uh, so these are very lengthy

and often very expensive investigations.

-I had someone talk to me and -- and say that they estimate

that it takes about $1 million an investigation

in order to take down one member of the Hells Angels.

Obviously, this is just an estimate,

but that gives us a sense of the scale of these investigations.

-Despite the millions of hours and the millions of dollars

put in to Project Hobart,

the charges are then withdrawn against Mr. Barletta,

giving him some real credence now to the name Teflon Rob.

-The Hells Angels prove that

they're not only just kings of the street,

they can be the kings in the courtroom.

-So Barletta walks on all charges.

He'll go back to running the gambling rackets.

Some say the whole thing only increased his standing

in the Hells Angels.

-So people really begin to question that,

in the war against the Hells Angels, who is winning?

gunfire erupted in this parking lot.

The shooting continued into HUF's boxing gym.

-Four men roll up in a car. The hit takes place.

He shot right inside the gym and just outside the door.

-Two gunmen came up and shot him six times at close range.

known to his friends as Diaz,

was fatally shot in the parking lot of this busy strip plaza.

-Dirty Diaz was murdered in early 2019.

That hit team had been dispatched from Montreal.

The belief from some Hells Angels

is that the Rizzutos didn't go through proper channels

to get this problem resolved and decided just to act

and kill this guy without any permission

from the Hells Angels group,

who the Rizzuto mob had been in business with for decades.

-He was shot as tensions went up between the Rizzutos

and the Hells Angels -- gambling tensions.

Um, and so, any time there's restructuring,

there's going to be -- going to be casualties.

-Police say his murder was a targeted killing,

-As a result of surveillance, during the investigation,

Peel Regional Police investigated

and laid homicide charges.

-It is very rare for a-a -- a mob hit to be solved,

and the Peel Police have done this i-in just over two days.

This is -- It's a -- It's a record.

-And only by that sheer unfortunate confluence

of events for these four men

and the sheer luck of the bagman being watched

did all of this turn into a first-degree murder prosecution

where three of the four men

were convicted of first-degree murder.

-He was targeted for a reason, so we take that seriously.

We take all organized crime activity seriously.

I can say he is, um, a well-entrenched member

of that motorcycle gang.

-I defended one of the men who were in that car,

-I get asked everywhere I go and whatever street I walk on,

"How do you do what you do? How do you sleep at night?

How do you defend people that you know are guilty?"

These are all really philosophical questions,

but I sleep like a baby.

-It's never been stated for certain

I believe through my sourcing

that this was really the first salvo in the war

that would become the conflict

pitting the Hells Angels versus the Rizzuto mob.

-I think the reason he was killed

was to, um, cut in on the Hells Angel influence in that area.

-One of the theories is that

it's the Mafia hitting back at the Hells Angels

for encroaching on their territory,

That's a battle that's still being waged today.

-Since the murder outside the gym,

it's almost like anything's up for grabs.

It's almost like, um, there is no real order.

It was clear-cut.

I had him saying

that there's certain individuals on the payroll.

So -- So did Vito Rizzuto. He says there's dirty cops.

But the department doesn't want to hear.

-When there's a dirty cop in the mix, taking shortcuts,

perhaps not following the rules,

that has become catnip

to criminal defense lawyers like me.

-Bribery isn't part of the landscape,

more so in Quebec than the rest of Canada.

One of the things that gets me about this whole world

is that people just accept that it happens.

It's illegal, it's wrong, and, you know,

you certainly don't tell your tourist board about it,

but everybody knows it's true.

There is a famous story

of Mom Boucher walking with a young, uh, biker,

a would-be biker, and pointing at a car

and said, "That's my pick."

That's what they were calling police at the time.

And he bragged about the fact

that he had so many police in his pocket,

that he had paid off so many of them

that they were almost immune to any kind of prosecution.

But in Quebec, especially with the provincial police,

a lot of them would look the other way.

-When you can find a high-powered

and high-profile sergeant who, for lack of a better term,

goes to the dark side,

that is something that the dark side is willing to pay

a very, very significant premium for.

-For police officers, it's a fine line

between trust and temptation.

Tonight, you'll meet some who resisted that temptation

and others who were accused,

convicted, and jailed for crossing the line.

-How can organized crime exist without corruption?

-Someone giving you intel on the inside

gives you a major edge over your enemy.

-You can see it in -- in the, uh, convictions

of senior police detectives like -- like Benoit Roberge.

Benoit Roberge was a senior Montreal police detective

who'd been investigating the bikers for a long time.

He was a source for a lot of us, uh, boat bikers.

-He had access to all of the events,

the thoughts, the prosecutions,

the investigations of Hells Angels

and other outlaw biker gangs.

-One of the important police officers, Benoit Roberge,

who had led the biker investigations

against Maurice "Mom" Boucher,

it will later turn out, several years later,

that he will fall into the pay of the Hells Angels.

-Benoit Roberge is accused of selling sensitive information

to the very people he once investigated.

-He got arrested because he was about to sell police information

to organized crime, and he got caught, which was bad.

-Well, he wasn't working alone. That's impossible.

He must have had other individuals with him.

-The news shocked the province.

How could a star cop of all people turn to the dark side?

-Benoit Roberge was the good guy.

-Instead of buying information from the Hells hit man,

Roberge was selling him information.

Their roles had been reversed.

It was Roberge who was the snitch.

-It's all about the money, right?

So if you have the right price...

-If the Hells Angels could corrupt somebody

like Benoit Roberge, it just shows the power that they have,

the power of organized crime.

-The public is left wondering, "How far does this go?"

And what I mean by that is, are there other people doing this

that simply haven't been caught?

-Corruption plays an invaluable role

in the overall success of the Hells Angels.

And Marty Robert,

you can't operate a local criminal organization

without connections, ties, links into law enforcement,

into the judiciary.

It would be impossible.

Marty Robert has the vision

that the Hells Angels should be the ones

that are pulling all the strings,

um, the ones that have final say on everything

and that, logistically, he thought he could pull it off.

But Marty couldn't do this alone.

So he needs help. And he goes and brings in Rob Barletta.

-Essentially, Robert Barletta, he's been brought in to the big leagues.

He started in London, worked his way up to Niagara,

-Marty trusts Rob Barletta more than

most, uh, in his Hells Angel kingdom.

He's somebody that

Marty identified as an MVP-type person,

that he needed to be by his side.

The move that the Hells Angels brass decided on,

to -- to transfer Rob Barletta to Montreal,

You know, this is the McDonald's of organized crime.

-Certainly, their organization is benefiting from the money

that's being made in the drug trade,

the -- from, you know,

importing and exporting the drugs that are not only

wreaking havoc here,

but also now in other places like Australia and New Zealand

and, you know, the South Pacific.

-Right from the time they started 50 or so years ago,

the goal was to run the trade in North America.

But now you go further.

There are Iranian-sponsored hits,

where Canadian and U.S. hit men are being hired

by Iranian people who run the drug trade.

-Earlier this year, there was a case.

a member of the Hells Angels and an associate

were charged in a murder-for-hire plot

in which a U.S. indictment said they were hired

to kill Iranian dissidents living in the United States.

-U.S. officials allege Zindashti recruited Damion Patrick Ryan,

a member of the Hells Angels in B.C.,

and that Ryan recruited Adam Richard Pearson,

another Hells Angels member, to carry out the attack.

-We're talking very scary stuff.

Just look at the indictment from the U.S. government

that alleges that the hit involved

separating this man's head from his torso.

That's not just a hit. That's essentially decapitation.

-So what this case shows is that the Hells Angels

have become kind of the go-to brand for global crime, right?

When you have an Islamic theocracy looking

to get a job done in North America,

they're going to the Hells Angels

because of that global brand awareness.

-I think we live in a different world.

I think the violence will increase.

There will be further carnage.

-One of the big obstacles for Marty Robert

and his desire to continue to grow the Hells Angels

are these independent groups, younger kids that maybe

don't really understand what they're getting themselves into.

They don't understand history. They don't understand context.

So I don't think the ending's going to be very pretty.

[ Man screaming ]

-Somebody who was born in the year 2000 and is 24 years old today

has no idea who the Hells Angels were.

And a lot of these newly-arrived immigrants,

they grew up in either South America or the Middle East.

They grew up with a machine gun at the age of 8.

You think they're scared of somebody that says,

"I'm part of the Hells Angels"?

No.

-Because of the massive immigration waves

that happen over the past decades,

you have different types of ethnicities

who all want their little piece of a pie, whatever that may be.

-According to sources, the Hells used back channels to tell police

they should take action against the BFM gang

or things could get even uglier.

-So the Blood Family Mafia and its leader,

David "Ice Pick" Turmel, are actually probably

Marty Robert and the Hells Angels' biggest obstacle,

biggest barrier to achieve their ultimate goal.

-So Mel and his gang are trying to scare people

from fighting against them

and to scare people away from working with the Hells.

-Someone like an Ice Pick Turmel,

who was only 27 years old and was in diapers

when the great Quebec biker war was -- was popping off,

dad the wherewithal and the -- the charisma

and, frankly, the balls to go around

to every single street gang in Quebec City,

most of these guys being older than him,

most of these guys being of different ethnicities, races,

some of them not speaking his own language,

and he was able to rally the troops,

circle the wagons,

and consolidate the entire street gang underworld

of Quebec City against the Hells Angels in less than a year.

You need to tell that story to get to the point of

why people are cutting off fingers.

-A 28-year-old man from Saguenay,

200 kilometers North of Quebec City,

was found right here in Montreal's Rosemont

overnight with his finger and toe cut off

after a possible kidnapping linked to drug trafficking.

-So, I think you have a situation

where the Blood Family Mafia represents the 2020s underworld.

The -- The -- The modern-day gangland culture

is the Blood Family Mafia.

-According to sources, the BFM gang is led by Dave Turmel.

He's gone after the Hells after refusing

to pay a 10% tax on drug sales

in Hells-controlled territory.

-The main point of contention

in the Blood Family Mafia's war with the Hells Angels

was a rebuffing of the traditional 10% tax

that the Hells Angels in Quebec City

had always placed on the street gangs and the drug crews.

Ice Pick Turmel and the Blood Family Mafia felt

that they were somehow absolved

or not eligible to have to pay the tax,

and when it was told to them that, "No,

you owe 10% of your take,"

that's what sparked this conflict.

-Normally gangs don't torture like this, severing body parts.

It's not very frequent in Quebec.

But we see with some of the street gangs in Quebec City,

that's what they do. They also film it.

[ Man screaming ]

[ Men speaking foreign language ]

-The top Quebec City rappers were all affiliated

with Blood Family Mafia these last couple years.

And if you watch the videos of these rap artists,

you can see Ice Pick Turmel,

and you can see other members of his crew.

The Blood Family Mafia was using some of these music videos

to shit-talk the Hells Angels

and let everybody know in Quebec City

the Blood Family Mafia, even though they're a bunch of 20-something millennials,

they don't fear the big, bad Hells Angels.

In fact, they're going to go in front of a camera

and flash gang signs and tell everybody that,

you know, "We're going to war with them, and we're gonna win."

I don't believe that the Blood Family Mafia,

when they decided to go to war

with the Quebec City Hells Angels,

completely understood who Marty Robert was

and that just because you were declaring war

on the Quebec City Hells Angels, I don't know if they realized

that that meant they were declaring war

on the Hells Angels empire period.

[ Man screaming ]

-Organized crime will look like altar boys

compared to these new groups coming up.

Trust me. It's going to be mayhem.
