 Welcome to the original gangsters podcast. Another quick hitter edition. We're going back for our weekly update about what's going on in the great white north. And it appears to be the end of one of the chapters of this, you know, complex web of wars within wars. It's being reported by some outlets in Quebec as well as my sources are now confirming that the war that was happening in Quebec City over the last year between the blood family mafia and the Hells Angels Quebec City chapter is over with and that a piece has been reached at least when it comes to the home front in Quebec City. And I want to be clear that does not from what I'm hearing give a free pass to blood family mafia boss, David Ice Pick Turnell, who's currently I'm told being hunted by a group of Hells Angels from Quebec as well as soldiers in the crew of Montreal Street King Godfather Anna Tupac Anna. And that Marty Robert of the Montreal Hells Angels has an open half a million dollar contract on Turnell's head. That all is still active. But in Canada, it appears that according to police in Quebec City, according to the Hells Angels in Quebec City, there is now no more conflict, no more war on the home front. We reported that it was reported that things really, really reached a boiling point last month, where it cooler heads were not prevailing. And Turnell has been in hiding in Europe since July. At first, he was on a fugitive on the run from the law from a case that was dropped in July against him and some people within his organization. And then in 2024, it looks like it's more of like he's on the run from the law, but he's also on the run from the Hells Angels looking to kill him. He's being, I'm told, hidden by the Resudo mob. He aligned with them last year in kind of wars that were mirroring each other. You know, when your your enemy's enemy becomes your friend, the Resudo mob as now for the last year, year and a half is been at odds with the Hells Angels in Montreal group that they had been aligned with for 30, 40 years and that has all fallen apart. Meanwhile, over in Quebec City last year, the BFM were consolidating all the street gangs and refusing to pay the Quebec City Hells Angels 10% tax on their drug drug sales. I'm told through a meeting via a cousin of the Resudos, Turnell was friends, one of his lieutenants was a cousin of one of the Resudos and got a meeting with these guys, got co-signing. He found a GPS tracker underneath his vehicle last March and never in all hell broke loose. I'm told he personally went out and shot up Matt Pelletier's house. He's one of the, you know, he's a mafia prince. I should say a, I'm sorry, a Hells Angels prince from Quebec City. And then last last month, things went haywire where a very respected feared prominent Quebec City, Hells Angel by the name of Mario bananas are here was avoided an attempted kidnapping that was launched by the BFM. And then within a couple days of that, some of his, I'm told some of his cousins were kidnapped and held for ransom. They were tortured toes fingers cut off. One of them or they both escaped when one of the people that were being held hostage broke out of his restraints and killed one of Turnell's top lieutenants, a guy named Patrick Martin, who was, I guess kind of captaining that kidnapping crew, they call him RIV, RIP to RIV. He was stabbed and shot to death while he slept. He fell asleep guarding these hostages. And that's how, you know, his demise came about. But I was told by sources on both sides of the law this sent everything, you know, it was already zero to 100. Then it went from like 100 to 1000. And I'm told that Mario bananas actually got on a plane to Europe with other members of the Hells Angels, as well as some of Otna's guys to go search for Turnell and kill him. Mario bananas is back in Canada right now, reports again, shout out to the dirty news. They've done a great job at being at the top top of the line and reporting all this, you know, boots on the ground in Quebec. But, you know, they reported that Mario bananas met with the police and the sq recently and, you know, told them that that the war is over with in Canada, that they will not be seeking retribution. They won't be looking to kidnap relatives of Turnell or Turnells and tenants. Now, some of this was just kind of organic in the sense that, you know, it's hard to wage a war against a group that's been dismantled. And as all this chaos was breaking out last month, Quebec City Police bring down a big BMF BFM indictment nailing about three dozen of them. So Turnells on the run, his right hand man and bodyguard, Rubens, Denise, they call him the Rhino, I'm told, was just picked up last week in Portugal. So he's kind of a lone wolf now, last man standing, everybody's in custody. So there is no more blood family mafia to be at war with unless you wanted to do what the BFM did was go after relatives. And according to Mario Bananas and the police in Quebec City, that is not going to happen. But I am told that David Turnell is still a marked man and open contract. I'm told that the SQ is confirming this half a million dollar contract out on Turnells head open for anybody in Europe to collect on it. We'll keep you updated. But right now the war within a war within a war, we have all these different conflicts breaking out. But the Quebec City war between the blood family mafia and the Hell's Angels Quebec City chapter is done. And it was about a year's worth of violence. We were slow to pick up on the reporting there. I kind of I had heard about what was going on, but I thought it was separate to what was happening in Montreal. But it was actually kind of one in the same two wars kind of became one. And then over this last month as things really started to pop off, we were giving you all the latest updates. And it also should also be pointed out that Mario Bananas had gone to Portugal at some point in the end of 23 with a peace offering for ice pick Turnell and didn't even get an audience. Turnell said, I won't see you get back on a plane. So this guy seems to have made his own bed and is going to have to sleep on it appears to be hell bent on living fast dying young and leaving a huge legacy. This guy's balls or the size of the Canadian Rockies and whether or not he survives this spring or summer or even the rest of the year, he'll definitely be remembered. OG pod Scott Bernstein out.
