Attacks on Montreal lawyers unsolved

Three Montreal lawyers have been physically attacked in the last year and two of them worked for the Hells Angels. This is something you don’t hear happening much outside Montreal, where the murders of Sydney Leithman in 1991 and Frank Shoofey in 1985 remain unsolved. Leithman and Shoofey both had underworld clients. Leithman was involved in a couple Colombian cocaine smuggling cases at the time someone put a bullet into him, while Shoofey was fighting with mobster Frank Cotroni, apparently trying to defend the interests of a Montreal boxer.
