Canada - Biker to get house arrest following parole

OFF THE WIRE
MONTREAL - A Bandidos biker with a history of assaulting women and breaking parole will face extraordinary conditions when he's released from prison.

Citing his "propensity for violence," the National Parole Board said Stephane Gillet will be under house arrest, given his moderate to high risk to reoffend. He'll also be barred from consuming alcohol and drugs.

Gillet, 27, has a long history with criminal biker gxxgs. He was 12 years old when his father, Alan Gillet, was murdered by a rival gxxg in the mid-1990s. He then began a meteoric rise up the ranks of the Bandidos, who waged a bloody war with the Hells Angels in the 1990s.

In May 2004 Gillet was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for violent crimes.

In the early 2000s he had been part of a team assigned to collect money and protect Bandidos drug territory.

At one point, he and his henchmen kidnapped a woman and her children while armed with a machine gun. The woman was fired upon and also beaten with fists and baseball bats.

Gillet was granted parole in January 2009 and was immediately ordered to submit to house arrest and meet with a psychologist. But he broke those conditions this past February when he overdosed on speed and crack cocaine.

He was also involved in a dangerous driving incident following a police chase.

Gillet once testified that violence was part of his lifestyle and was a necessary part of his job. He also justified his violent acts, saying that his victims "knew the risks of the trade."

He says he has since left the Bandidos gxxg.
