Biker for the Hell's Angel's Involved in Organized Crime

The trial of Hells Angel Ian Grant has entered a new phase, as the Crown attempts to prove Grant was involved with organized crime.
Grant has pleaded not guilty to nine charges, including extortion, drug trafficking and participating in a criminal organization.
So far, the Canada has presented evidence alleging Grant sold kilogram-sized amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine to a civilian police agent. Much of the evidence involved recordings and testimony by Franco Atanasovic, a civilian police agent who was paid more than $500,000 for his participation in police operations.
Both Canada and the defence have acknowledged that Grant is a member of the Hells Angels. Now Canada is presenting arguments intended to prove that the group is a criminal organization.
