[8] Besides Amero, other Hells Angels working at the port included Vince Brienza, Norm Krogstad, John Bryce, and Gino Zumpano.
[9] Peter Edwards, the crime correspondent of The Toronto Star newspaper, singled out Amero as one of the more notable Hells Angels working at the Port of Vancouver.
[9] Although Amero was a card-carrying member of local 502 of the International Longshore & Warehouse workers union, he was more seen aboard his speedboat Steroids & Silicone than working the docks.
[5] On March 3, 2009, Amero's girlfriend, Sarah Trebble, was charged with being in an automobile where she knew there was a weapon concerning a shooting incident in a strip club parking lot on February 15, 2009.
[11] The others in the vehicle were Barzan Tilli-Choli, Aram Ali, and Nicola Cotrell who were charged with the attempted murder of Tyler Willock of the Red Scorpions.
[12] Brad Stephen, a retired officer with the Vancouver police department and an outlaw biker specialist, stated in 2017: "Amero is a formidable member within the Hells Angels and within the underworld in general.
"[3] Amero together with Jonathan Bacon of the Red Scorpions along with Randy Naicker and James Riach of the Independent Soldiers were the leaders of the Wolfpack Alliance.
[16] The Wolfpack worked as distributors of cocaine from the Sinaloa Cartel of Mexico, whose leader was Joaquín Guzmán, better known by his moniker El Chapo ("the shorty").
[18] Dhak hired four hitmen, namely Jason Thomas McBride, Jujhar Khun-Khun, Manjinder Hairan, and Michael Jones to wipe out the Wolfpack.
[19] On the weekend of August 13-14, 2011, Amero called a summit of the Wolfpack at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort & Conference Center in Kelowna that was attended by Jonathan Bacon and James Riach.
[19] At about 2:45 pm on August 14, 2011, the leaders of the Wolfpack were abroad Amero's white Porsche Cayenne SUV and were leaving the parking lot of the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort when their vehicle was ambushed and shot up by four masked men firing AK-47 assault rifles.
[26] Edwards and Nájera wrote: "Alkhalil and Amero shared a Montreal kitchen that would have done Martha Stewart proud, with its gleaming cherrywood shelving, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and river view.
Amero's jeans and Hells Angels vest were perfectly clean and hung neatly on plastic hangers, alongside his Free Quebec gang hoodie and White Rock T-shirts".
[27] Schneider described the typical Canadian Hells Angels in the 21st century as well dressed, well trimmed, clean-cut businessmen who drive luxury cars and live in affluent neighborhoods, stating the club now aims to project a 'respectable' image.
[23] Edwards and Nájera described Alkhalil and Amero as being in charge of a smuggling operation to bring in cocaine from via secret compartments in trucks into the United States.
[30] After Duhre's murder, Alkhalil texted Amero "dips dead” and "Chk the van news this week lol we put this city upside down.
"[30] One of the members of the Wolfpack, Nick Nero of Niagara Falls, could not remember his email address and passport to the Pretty Good Privacy network, so he wrote down his email address "Cervezafrya@encryptroid.com" and his password "sharp0" on a yellow sticky note, which was found by the police right next to his cell phone on his kitchen countertop in his girlfriend's Niagara-on-the-Lake condo following Nero's arrest on May 23, 2012.
[29] On September 26, 2012, Lavoie called a meeting in a downtown Montreal bar along with Mihale Leventis and another man who remain unidentified who was working as a police informer.
[38] Lavoie fled to Colombia with a forged Bahamian passport, where he worked with a Canadian mixed martial arts fighter and gangster, Steven Skinner, in a drug smuggling ring.
[39] The police have expressed much regret about the murders of Psiharis and Lavoie, believing if those either of those two men had been arrested, it might have been possible to pressure them into turning Crown's evidence, which would have strengthened their case against Amero and the other Wolfpack leaders.
[2] Criminologist Rob Gordon of Simon Fraser University told Kim Bolan, the crime correspondent of The Vancouver Sun: "From the union perspective, I'm sure you would find there is a great deal of cronyism going on — that these jobs pass from one hand to another.
"[41] The charges relating to cocaine smuggling against Amero were dropped on August 31, 2017 when his lawyers persuaded the judge that the Crown had taken too long to bring the case to court.
