The Hells Angels brought him on board in early 2024 for his expertise. C\u00e9lestin inherited the drug-selling territories of kingpin Gregory Woolley, following his assassination in November 2023. He operates mainly in downtown Montreal. The gang is at war with Arab Power for control of drug trafficking territories. C\u00e9lestin is on his guard and is said to have a $50,000 contract on his head. In response, the Mafia has allegedly placed an $800k bounty on Aithaqi.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.cbc.ca\/ais\/1.3927150,1483968619000\/full\/max\/0\/default.jpg?im=Crop%2Crect%3D%280%2C0%2C1919%2C1079%29%3B\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>\nThe Rap Pack Mob has made a name for itself with a series of arsons targetting the Rizzutos.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ns8YNvxTJAg?si=YLqBAzzej-dYYpPf\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Cops in Quebec arrested 11, including Montreal mafia boss Leonardo Rizzuto, in a sweeping operation targeting organized crime across the province.

It all has to do with the contract killer turned rat, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Silva, who has been collaborating since 2022.
