A former Hells Angel turned informant will receive almost $3 million from Canadian officials for his role in helping to crackdown on Quebec’s most notorious biker’s gang.

Informant, Sylvain Boulanger, a former member of the Hells Angels Sherbrooke chapter, has agreed to testify against his former comrades in Operation SharQC, Canada’s biggest gang bust ever.

According to reports, Boulanger, provided investigators with 23 video statements, a 646-page written statement, and wore a wiretap to help investigators in the covert operation that led to 129 people being arrested this month, including the gang’s leaders.

For snitching on his former gang buddies, Boulanger will receive $900,000 for the work he did so far, and will be paid $2 million over the next four years, in $400,000 installments to be transferred on April 15, which is the anniversary of the arrests.

Boulanger, 45, became a member of the Hells Angels in 1993, but left under good terms in 2001. 

According to reports, Boulanger tried to rejoin the gang after he left, but was rejected by gang leaders for unknown reasons.

When authorities approached him about being an informant, Boulanger thought this was the perfect revenge for his rejection.

Authorities will not charge Boulanger with any crimes he committed while he was a member of the gang.
