Investigators with the SPVM Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal made the macabre discovery of the 47-year-old man found tied up in the trunk of his own burned-out vehicle in Pointe-aux-Trembles.
According to relatives, Leblanc had been missing for about two days. He is believed to have been killed before his body was taken to his car to be set on fire, a CBC news source said.
This procedure clearly bears the signature of the criminal bikers of the Hells Angels, she asserted unequivocally.

As with the murders of Stéphane Dupuis on April 12 and Sébastien Giroux on May 10, what Hugues Leblanc had in common was that he too did business with the Hells Angels.
He was a notorious cocaine dealer in the Pointe-aux-Trembles area on behalf of the organization.
Leblanc’s home was reportedly being combed by Montreal Police officers by the evening.
According to witnesses, the interior was in poor condition after the victim’s disappearance.
The SPVM searched Leblanc’s home over the weekend.

Multiple sources also told us over the weekend that the three Hells Angels-related murders in Montreal were allegedly committed in territory controlled by respected member Jean-Richard Lariviere, nicknamed Race in the criminal community.
The entire eastern part of the metropolis, the gay district sector and the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve sector are under the control of Race Lariviere. The entire black drug market runs through him in those areas of the city, another news source concluded.
