OFF THE WIRE
Organized crime observers have some questions about a biker club with increasing
visibility in Laval: The Brotherhood.
Members turned up wearing their
club colours at the funeral of a Hells Angels in September.
Laval police
say they've had no trouble with Brotherhood members and the group's president
has told the Journal de Montreal that his organization is just a social club.
However, observers note that the Brotherhood's logo features the colour
purple, similar to that used by the now defunct Hells affiliate in the Montreal
region, the Death Riders. Organized crime experts say colour is symbolic in
biker gaxxx circles and purple would be an unlikely choice for the Laval club
unless the Hells Angels approved it.
