Police in Quebec said Thursday that the well-organized criminal ring includes the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, as well as elements of the Italian and Irish Mafia.
Police say warrants were issued for 128 people and some people remain on the lam.
The accused face charges including drug trafficking, conspiracy and gangsterism.
