In the 1990’s the Irish Mafia,
traditional La Cosa Nostra operatives, the Hell’s Angels and corrupted port
workers controlled the Port of Montreal. This port was a gateway to both rail and
highway transportation for eastern and central Canada and much of the U.S. Their method of operation was basically
accomplished by hardline phones (some cell phones), fax machines and old
fashion extortion, corruption and hostile intimidation. They were very successful for many
years. Imagine now, 2016, the current digital landscape and the vast network of bad actors has enhanced their bent on both criminal and
terrorist port targeted agendas.
