 Welcome to the original gangsters podcast. I'm your host Scott Bernstein quick hitter edition along back up to the great white North to update you on what's been happening in the very, very violent, dramatic, ever evolving Canadian mafia war, the wars that are within a war. A lot of activity these last couple of weeks, new players, new storylines, new shootings, new murders. So as you know that there's been the greater Canadian mafia war that's been going on since the late 2000s, within that you have the Hells Angels and the Rizzuto mob as an alliance that has disappeared in the last two years and you have the Hells Angels at war with the Rizzuto mob in what I'm told is a hostile takeover attempt and within that you have proxy wars. And back in the end of 2023 Greg Woolley Picasso, one of the most legendary Canadian gangland figures ever someone who had ties, links and alliances at the highest levels of both the Rizzuto mob and the Hells Angels was assassinated, getting out of his Lamborghini SUV in front of his wife and newborn child at a doctor's appointment in Montreal. We will report for the first time now on YouTube that the number one suspect in that case according to investigators is the alleged new godfather of the street gang world in Montreal Anna Tupac Atna who is alleged to have gotten the contract from Marty Robert and the Hells Angels to murder Greg Woolley and we've talked about why that happened. Woolley was somebody that was at that time feuding with people in the Hells Angels, Marty's lieutenants, guys in Montreal, guys that were coming home from prison, guys that were in prison, guys that were in Ontario and according to the Hells Angels they felt that Greg Woolley's loyalty should have been to them and that he was showing too much loyalty to the Rizzuto mob and it led eventually to his assassination. It looks like based on our sourcing that Atna who was African, he's from Somalia and is kind of a second generation version of Greg Woolley but maybe even more violent and more power hungry and it looks like he is now according to our sources has been anointed. There's been a coronation. There was a meeting of a number of street gang bosses I'm told called by the Hells Angels around Christmas time in Montreal where Tupac Atna was given the throne that had once belonged to Greg Woolley. Now that doesn't mean that Greg Woolley's camp has disappeared. Greg Woolley's camp is now firmly on the side of the Rizzuto mob. They headquartered in Little Italy and the new boss of that group is John Philippe Celestine aka the butcher of Saint Martin Belovard. His brother who you're seeing on the screen right now, John Brandon Celestine was murdered. This week he was killed leaving his brother's headquarters going to his Mercedes. He was gunned down. He was only 28 years old and this comes on the heels of a contract allegedly being put on Tupac Atna's head. He was approached last weekend by law enforcement and told that he has money on his head coming from the Celestine camp which is the former Woolley camp and the Rizzuto mob. So this could have been him striking back. It also could be in retaliation for a series of shootings at his top lieutenant, a guy that's his alleged top lieutenant, a guy by the name of Ali Shaban who they call Ice Cube, is avoided two murder attempts just in the past week and they were within days of John Brandon Celestine being murdered. Mr. Shaban, his Mercedes Benz G-Wagon was riddled with bullets at a Laval shopping mall parking lot. He escaped with only a gun wound to the arm and then just a couple days later his restaurant was shot up in a drive-by. It is all hell has broken loose and this has been the case for 15 years. You have ebbs and flows of it but right now the city of Montreal is just on fire. Bodies dropping, new alliances being made and it should be noted that Tupac Atna is a guy that has a pretty long list of arrests and convictions. He avoided an attempt on his life a year or two ago. His right-hand man and best friend, Frans Louis, they call Big Brother, was murdered in 2020. It's believed that Atna blames the Woolley Celestine group for that. So this thing is just a powder tank, you know, like we've never seen before and who knows where it's going right now. I'm told Leonardo Rizzuto is in bunker style right now, laying low, practically in hiding, if not in hiding, trying to hope hoping that this blows over. And I've also been told he has or the Rizzuto camp has allowed or has empowered the Celestine group to, you know, kind of be their mouth on the street, their muscle on the street. They're speaking for them right now and they feel like this is their best play, the best card to play. So only time will tell, but Tupac Atna is a new name to be aware of. The new Greg Woolley, the new godfather of the street gangs in Montreal, aligned allegedly with the Hells Angels and the Rizzuto rivals, the Scopa Brothers. There were surveillance photos that had been made public in the last year in court filings of Atna taking meetings with the Hells Angels as well as members of the Scopa group. And there were informants telling the police that in the weeks and days leading up to Greg Woolley's assassination on November 17, 2023, and in the days after Atna was seen meeting with Hells Angels and tenants. That's what we got coming out of Canada right now. Again, it's ever evolving. It's fluid and we'll always keep you updated. Scott Bernstein, OG pod out.
