Guy Lepage
Hells Angels Nomads Chapter
    Guy  Lepage, born  in  the  mid-1940s, is  a  rarity  in  Montreal’s criminal  circles. He is among few police officers to switch sides and gain  the  trust  of  top  gang  leaders. Lepage  worked  as a Montreal Urban Community police officer for seven years, before  leaving  the force in 1974. He established  himself in  Sorel, on  the  city’s  south shore, where he ran a night club. 

     Lepage was  among the founding members of  the  Rockers biker gang, formed on  March 26, 1992. He served  as the club’s president for several years, before  leaving  the  group. He remained associated with the  Hells Angels  and  served  as driver for  biker boss Maurice “Mom” Boucher.  

     In  April, 1994, Lepage  pleaded guilty in a British Colombia court on charges of  laundering  drug  money. The  arrest  came  after  the Rockers attempted, with the apparent approval of the Hells Angels, to
establish themselves out west. Four months later, he was sentenced to two years less  a day and fined $200,000.

     After  several  months  in  a  western-Canadian  prison, Lepage  became  homesick. He  dished out $5,700 for three plane tickets - for himself  and two police escorts - from Vancouver to  Montreal, so he could stay in a prison closer to home. He was paroled in 1995.

     On  June 28, 1999, police  arrested  Lepage, along with  Robert “Bob” Savard  and  Ronald Leduc, both of  whom  also  had links to  Mom Boucher. The three were  accused of  kidnapping  a  man and attempting to extort as much as $100,000 from him. The charges would eventually be dropped.

     Lepage was  arrested on  December 18, 2001, this time  at  the  request of the  United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). U.S. authorities  accused  him of conspiracy to import over a ton of cocaine  and  acting  as  a middle-man  between the  Hells Angels Nomads Chapter and a large drug trafficking organization based in Colombia. Lepage’s extradition  was  approved, and on  July 31, U.S. Marshalls accompanied him to Florida to stand trial.

     Lepage, authorities claimed, made ten trips to Colombia between 1997 and 2001 to meet with drug kingpins  and arrange numerous narcotics shipments to  Canada. The Nomads  reportedly  planned  to purchase cocaine for $18,000 US a kilogram.

     At least four tons of cocaine was sold to the Nomads, police said, including a shipment of 2.4 tons of the drug the Colombians sent by ship to Gaspesie, Quebec.

     The Nomads  allegedly sent tens of  millions of dollars to Colombia to  pay  for  the  shipments. In April, 1998, U.S. police  seized $2.5 million, which  they said  was  destined to  the bikers’ Colombian drug suppliers. 

     Several  Hells Angels, including  gang  leader  Mom  Boucher, were  named  by U.S. authorities  as being involved in the drug smuggling conspiracy.

     In September, 2003, Lepage pleaded guilty  and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. As part of an agreement, the  biker was promised  he  wouldn’t be summoned to testify  at the trials of  any  of  the other accused. The possibility of Lepage being transferred to  a Quebec penitentiary within six months to a year was also discussed.
