| Bertrand Joyal was born in 1957 and most likely became a full-patch member of the Hells Angels Montreal Chapter in the early 1990s. Joyal, Alain Forand, and Jean Lemay were charged with extortion in 1992. One of the three suspects had went bankrupt two years earlier and lost three properties. Between May 4th and May 15th, police said, the three men threatened the new owners of the properties at gun point, explaining that it would be in their best interest to return ownership of the land. In August 1994, police pulled over Joyal, as he sat behind the wheel of a rented Pontiac Grand Prix near Boucherville. Inside, police found a .357 revolver, a .45 firearm, and $30,000 in cash. Joyal was charged |
| with being in possession of prohibited weapons. A passenger in the vehicle, a 21 year old woman, was not charged. When the Hells Angels South Chapter was formed in Saint-Basile-le-Grand on March 1, 1997, Joyal was one of the members that left the Montreal Chapter to establish the new faction. Joyal was among the over one hundred Hells Angels members and associates arrested on March 28, 2001 in Opération: Printemps 2001. He was charged with drug trafficking and conspiring to traffic in narcotics. Police seized $1,600 from him. On October 12, 2001, Joyal and eight others, called Hells couriers of drug money in Le Journal de Montréal, pleaded guilty to various charges. He was sentenced to six years in prison, with a condition that he would have to serve half being becoming eligible for parole. |
