Quebec Court of Appeal reduces sentences of several Hells Angels

Thirty-five Hells Angels have seen the sentences they received significantly reduced in one fell swoop, after having pled guilty to participating in a plot to murder their enemies.


The sentences were reduced in a decision released on Wednesday by the Quebec Court of Appeal. The decision is yet another considerable blow to the legitimacy of how Quebec’s provincial prosecution bureau (Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales) handled Operation SharQc, a lengthy investigation into the biker gang that initially appeared to have crippled the Hells Angels in the province in 2009.
