Quebec police raids: 31 alleged Mafia members arrested
CBC
June 12th, 2014

Thirty-one people were arrested this morning after a series of police raids targeting alleged Mafia members in Montreal, Laval, Gatineau and Quebec City.

Police are currently looking for three other individuals.

Some 200 officers from a number of police forces took part in the raids, as part of Operation Clemenza led by the RCMP.

Raids follow interception of BlackBerry messages

The raids followed an extensive investigation that involved the interception of PIN-to-PIN BlackBerry messages between members of the Guiseppe De Vito and Bastone brothers Mafia cells.

Insp. Michel Arcand of the RCMP's organized crime division said an investigation between 2010 and 2012 intercepted around one million PIN-to-PIN messages, and involved what he described as a "complex analysis process."

Seeing a bunch of people today claiming the cops can hack BB messages. They got a warrant from a judge and Blackberry gave them the keys, they didn't hack shit.
 
Quebec seems to have some pretty powerful criminal organizations. I was pretty surprised to hear about the prisoners escaping in a helicopter this week, only to learn that this had happened before. Sounds like something I would expect to see from the cartels in Mexico, or in a Hollywood film. Not so much the friendly French-Canadians.

Yeah, they have a massive Hells Angels presence and a large Mafia presence to boot. The cops have been really good at taking them down lately, though.

If people think this actually did anything to them, that RICO in the U.S.A. and laws like it in other countries have taken them down, or that they're not still around and powerful I have some nice swamp land in Arizona to sell you.
 
I had a bberry for a while NC its a Canadian company and I thought it was less susceptible to bring bugged, apparently chapo Guzman thought the same thing but these days I don't think there is a com system the us can't hack
