The death of Sylvain Éthier, gunned down Thursday night as he was leaving his home in Sainte-Thérèse, is part of a cleanup within the organization, said Sylvain Tremblay, a former Sûreté du Québec officer who worked on cases involving biker gangs.
Éthier was arrested in March and accused of being a ringleader of a contraband tobacco ring. He may have failed to heed warnings that those being released wanted their territory back, the ex-SQ investigator said.
