Michel Auger: 20 years since the attack

It’s 20 years since the murderous attack on journalist Michel Auger in the parking lot of the Journal de Montréal building on Frontenac. Auger knew it was Mom Boucher who ordered the hit after he’d written extensively on the biker wars, and police think they know the man who actually carried it out, but he’s never been arrested, although QMI says police are still watching him. Auger survived six bullets and is now retired.

QMI’s Stéphane Alarie says it was a stupid move by the Hells because it energized police to crack down on bikers in a campaign from which they’ve never quite recovered.
