SCMONTREAL - All Boivin, one of Canada's most-wanted fugitives, has been arrested in Spain after more than three years on the lam, Quebec provincial police announced Friday.
The 36-year-old from Saguenay, Que., had been sought since Feb. 15, 2023, on Canada-wide warrants for crimes including gangsterism, aggravated assault, kidnapping, forcible confinement, and weapons trafficking.
He was arrested in the Spanish resort city of Marbella on the southern coast of the country by the European Operational Team, a law enforcement unit affiliated with the European Union. Quebec police did not say when he was caught.聽
Police say Boivin is a close associate of Dave 鈥淧ik鈥 Turmel, the alleged leader of the Blood Family Mafia, who was arrested in Italy in March 2025 and is awaiting extradition.聽
Blood Family Mafia has allegedly been in a bloody turf war in Quebec against biker gangs, with police saying the violence included torture, amputations and killings. Some of the assaults were allegedly broadcast on social media.
"The arrest of All Boivin marks an important milestone for public safety in Quebec and for the fight against organized crime," Johanne Beausoleil, chief executive officer of Quebec's provincial police, said in a news release.
She says Quebec police worked closely with the RCMP, Interpol and European authorities on the investigation that led to Boivin's arrest.
"Criminal groups are evolving, moving, and trying to exploit borders to evade justice. Our response, too, must be co-ordinated, agile, and determined," said Beausoleil.聽
Boivin had been listed as Number 2 on Canada's most-wanted list, according to the Bolo program, which is operated by a 好色tv charity in partnership with Canada's police forces. Turmel had been Number 1 before his arrest.
A reward of up to $250,000 had been offered for information leading to Boivin's capture.
