“On July 10, 2022, Maurice Boucher, an inmate under medical care at Archambault Institution, died while in our custody of apparent natural causes,” Correctional Service Canada said in a statement issued Sunday afternoon. “At the time of his death, Mr. Boucher had been serving an indeterminate sentence for two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, assault with a weapon and carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
“The one thing I can say today is that it closes another chapter on the Hells Angels in Quebec,” said Guy Ouellette, the Chomedey MNA and former Sûreté du Québec investigator who was part of the combined police force that helped take down Boucher and the immense criminal network he built after 1994, the start of conflict between organized crime groups that lasted eight years. More than 160 people died during what came to be known as Quebec’s biker gang war.
