 Welcome to the Original Gangsters podcast, another quick hitter edition, going back up to the Great White North, part of our weekly reporting on just the chaos that's been going on up there. Obviously, it's been about 15 years of this, but there are ebbs and flows and this has been a particularly volatile year or so. So I want to report on what's going on within the Montreal Street Gang scene, and we know from the last couple months, the end of 2023, it looks like Anna A.K.A. Tupac has been anointed the godfather of the Montreal Street Gang scene allegedly by Marty Robert after, according to my sources, taking the contract, carrying out the contract to kill Greg Woolley, Picasso Woolley, the legendary Canadian gangland diplomat tied to the highest levels of the Rizzuto mob, highest levels of the Hells Angels, and as the relationship between the Hells Angels and Rizzuto mob he was caught in the middle of it. Last week, Tupac's organization was hit with some arrests, particularly the little brother of one of his reputed top lieutenants, and their place of business was raided. And this is one of the really major money makers, I'm told, for both the Tupac crew and the Hells Angels, it's the car theft, chop shop business, stolen parts, and it's transnational. So we talked about in the last couple weeks, Tupac's alleged car theft lieutenant Ali Shaban, A.K. Ice Cube, headquarters out of the Cube Express. Cube Express was raided this week, and Ice Cube's brother, Mohamed Shaban, 25-year-old reputed lieutenant in the Tupac organization was arrested. Ali Shaban has not been arrested, nor publicly implicated. He survived an assassination attempt last month in Laval. His G-wagon got riddled with bullets and he was able to get out of the passenger. He went from the driver's seat to the passenger seat, got out the passenger door, was only wounded in the arm. A couple days later, or about a week later, his restaurant was shot up. They actually arrested a sailor in the second attack. But it's like follow the money. Well, between the Hells Angels and the street gang contingent that they're aligned with right now, the Atna Group, they're making tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, not them themselves, but the network that they're involved in is in moving stolen cars to and from Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. And talking to my sources in the SQ, they believe that the epicenter of that racket in Canada on the Canadian end of this is through Cube Express. And Cube Express, you know, at least on the surface, is a car storage lot, kind of specifies or is particular into the, import, export business legally. And there's, you know, legal, legal activity going on there, we know. But according to the government in Canada, there's also illegal activity. And I'm told that that particular car lot is known as a cool down spot for vehicles that are going to be shipped overseas and vehicles that are coming in from overseas. And that Ali Shaban, aka IceCube, spearheads the whole thing. Again, he was not indicted. But his brother was and Cube Express was raided. We'll see what the ripple effects of this are, even though we're reporting that the war in Quebec City between Rizudomab allies, the blood family mafia and Quebec City chapter of Hell's Angels, which has been kind of a war that was mirroring what was going on in Montreal. That war is now officially done, at least on the Canadian home front. BFM boss, IcePictureMal is still a marked man, what I'm told in being hunted in Europe right now by Hell's Angels and Atena's guys. But the Quebec City violence has stopped. What's happening in Europe is happening in Europe. But in terms of the Hell's Angels, Marty Robert, and the war with Rizudomab, that has not stopped. Again, you have ebbs and flows, starts and stops. But pedal to the metal, if you're the Hell's Angels right now, or what I'm told, in terms of their desire and doing everything they can to absorb drug extortion and gambling rackets from the Rizudomab. And Leonardo Rizzuto right now, who has, I'm told, empowered a lot of street gangs to kind of be his muscle on the street. Well, BFM is gone. But in terms of Atena and his connection to the Chabans, that's, I'm told again, big money source. And when you're at war, you need a war chest. And you chip away at the crown. And in terms of guys on the street right now, Atena is the top guy replacing Greg Woolley. And they're going after his top guys. So we'll keep an eye out for what's going on there in the fall from this. But far from over, OG Pod Scott Bernstein out.
