The strategy was in fact to eliminate or remove from circulation, from the criminal ecosystem, the individuals who are the most violent or the most active in this war, analyzes criminologist Maria Mourani at subject of police interventions in recent days.
According to her, the weekend's arrests helped to weaken the' organization, but arrive too late. They don't really have a hierarchy. They have a leader, they have links with other groups in Montreal. They will be impulsive. When there is a chicane, it can degenerate quickly. As for me, we waited too long to react. The Hells had been telling the police for a while: do something before we do something.
The criminologist, however, believes that the intervention will bear fruit. It made it possible to remove a fairly disruptive core in Quebec City, we will see what happens next.
