An alleged member of the Fallen Saints Motorcycle Club has pleaded guilty in connection to Project Forseti, the 15-month investigation into criminal activity among biker clubs in Saskatchewan.
Carl Allan Trobak, 29, entered guilty pleas this month to trafficking cocaine and possessing proceeds of crime. The charges were sent to Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench as part of a direct indictment, which fast-tracks a case to the trial stage.
No details about how Trobak’s charges came to light were outlined during his brief court appearance, federal Crown prosecutor Lynn Hintz said. More should be known on Jan. 11, when Trobak is expected to be sentenced.
Project Forseti culminated in raids on Jan. 14, 2015, when some of the hundreds of charges against 20 men were laid. Other charges pertain to information gathered through a police agent and secretly-recorded conversations.
Trobak is also charged with participation in a criminal organization and committing an offence for the benefit of a criminal organization, accused of assaulting a man “for the purpose of enhancing” the Fallen Saints Motorcycle Club.
Six other men, Mark Michael Nowakowski, Ryan William Hillman, Armand Leigh Hounjet, Layne Joseph James Boorman, Justin Murray Smith and Daryl Michael Nagy, are still before the court on various criminal organization charges.
Hillman and five other men have pleaded guilty in connection with a marijuana trafficking ring connected to Project Forseti.
