 Welcome to the original gangsters podcast. I'm your host Scott Bernstein. We're going back up to the Great White North, giving you some more breaking news out of this, getting crazier by the second Canadian mafia war, biker war slash street gang war, all these different iterations of the risotto crime family falling apart from about 2009 forward. We're on year 15, but a lot of developments, a lot of moving parts, and I'm going to break it all down for you. The lead here, I'm not going to bury the lead here, is it appears that the risotto's main muscle right now on the street, Jean-Philippe Celestine aka The Butcher, has jumped ship from the risotto camp and is now in the Hell's Angels camp as an official member of the Marauders. You can see this picture right here. Radio Canada was the first to break this with Celestine and a Marauder rocker. The Marauders are one of the main support clubs for the Hell's Angels in Montreal. It looks like this all started, at least publicly, started to take shape at the funeral of Celestine's little brother, Brandon Jean Celestine, who was killed back in February, leaving the gang's headquarters at Elio's restaurant in little Italy. They took over from Greg Picasso Woolley, who had been kind of the street gang, Godfather for the risotto crime family for quite a bit. He was affiliated with the Hell's Angels. He was killed back in November. We've said it before, allies on Monday can be enemies on Tuesday and then back to allies again on Wednesday. And the Hell's Angels have been staging a hostile takeover of the risotto crime family, sports gambling and drug rackets over the last couple years. And Celestine and his brother and Greg Woolley were big part of the risotto presence on the streets. The ranks have been depleted quite a bit due to attrition, murder, prison, some people just tapping out. And over the last couple years, or last year, year and a half, the risottos have been relying a lot on these street gangs for muscle operational logistics. And this is big news. After the murder of Brandon Jean in February at his funeral, the butcher, John Celestine, was sporting some marauders gear. It looked like he was signaling maybe the people that maybe didn't know that we're looking to kill him. There are a lot of rumors that the murder of his brother was a case of mistaken identity. And he was kind of like signaling with this marauders paraphernalia at the funeral as well as some other big events connected to the mourning of his brother passing was signaling to people that he's with the Hell's Angels now. And that he's no longer supporting the risottos. That's what it looks like. We don't know for sure. But he's a marauder now. Marauders are Hell's Angels. I'm told that Marty is signed off on this and Marty Robert, the public enemy number one in Montreal, the biker boss, the aspiring overall crimes are of Canada with this very ambitious takeover plan. And this is a big win for the Hell's Angels and Marty Robert. If it's true that John Celestine is now fighting on the Hell's Angels side of this whole thing. We should also mention that there were a series of raids related to the investigation into Brandon John's murder in February that there were three arrests in those raids. Those arrests are not tied to the murder. I want to be clear. They were made during the raids, though. Caleb Pye, Brandon Tobar, and Miguel Nestor Pintos, two were the three that were arrested, related to various possession of things or other breakoffs of the investigation into the murder. But they're not being implicated right now as being involved in that homicide. But what we know for sure is right now, according to my sources, according to Radio Canada and according to La Presse, we have a brand new day now and the former street gang faction of the Rizzuto crime family is now officially it looks like a member of the Hell's Angels camp. And it looks like John Phillips Celestine and Tupac Atna, who had replaced Greg Willie, who might have been at odds at one point over the last four or five months, They're all on the same team now. They're all with Team Hell's Angels. We'll keep you updated with everything that's going on up there. It's moving fast and furious. You need a scorecard. We're going to be the one to keep you, make sure that scorecard is accurate as possible. So if you like what you got here, please like, subscribe, spread the word.
