Nobody wants to work the case, even with a 10% bonus? If throwing money at the problem doesn't work, it may be based on people's values/principles. There may be something internally wrong with the case or not comfortable with Silva.

But I also have a friend in a position in gov't like the ones mentioned in the article. He says he does work for like 4 people because all the people who work in that sector go to fancier law firms for hundreds of thousands of dollars more.

Law enforcement in Canada appears to be an f'ing joke.

Hamstrung by leftist/pro-criminal politics.

Spagnolo sounds like a loyal guy. I would rather have a few of those, then 20 men who change their mind whenever the wind blows.

[Tonyd621]

"And in a sign that loyalty no longer seems to be worth much in this environment, the suspected shooter is also suspected of having already committed an attempted murder against one of Woolley's enemies a few years ago, according to our information."

This statement from one of the aforementioned articles is nuts. On a Monday you pay a guy a couple grand to shoot at somebody and then on Tuesday he's shooting at you...

Sixteen people facing charges in RCMP drug-trafficking investigation
Bruno Di Quinzio, a former actor in the television series Omertà, was among the people arrested.
Paul Cherry • Montreal Gazette
Nov 05, 2024

A former Montreal actor and a man tied to one of Quebec’s most notorious drug traffickers were among four people arrested Tuesday morning following an investigation by the RCMP.

The Mounties said in a release that the four men “were allegedly involved in trafficking drugs, mainly cocaine and hashish.” Approximately 94 kilograms of hashish and six kilos of cocaine were seized, along with eight firearms and more than $180,000 in cash.

Included among those arrested was Bruno Di Quinzio, 58, of Montreal, who has been convicted in at least two major drug-trafficking cases in the past in Montreal and British Columbia. Di Quinzio was also once an actor in a television series called Omertâ, a popular fictional account of the Montreal Mafia that aired on Radio-Canada during the late 1990s. The series’ title was borrowed from the Sicilian expression for the Mafia’s code of silence.

Also arrested on Monday was Jean Sigman, 71, of Trois-Rivières, who has past ties to Raymond Desfossés, a notorious drug trafficker tied to the West End Gang. Desfossés died this year.

The RCMP reported that Alain Bonneau, 71, and Daniel Le Tourneux, 66, both of Québec City, were also arrested.

“A fifth individual — Réjean Gagnon, 63, from Ste-Thérèse-de-Blainville — is wanted, and a warrant is still out for his arrest,” the RCMP said.

“According to the investigation by police officers from the Quebec City Detachment’s Border Integrity Program and Federal Detachments, the alleged traffickers carried out illicit activities in the Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Montreal regions. They are facing multiple charges, including cocaine trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking and conspiracy. They are scheduled to appear by videoconference at the Trois-Rivières, Québec City and Montreal courthouses today.”

A total of 16 people are facing charges. Eleven other people are due to appear at a later date.
