Report: Alleged criminal linked to members of Canadiens
Quote:
As many problems as the Canadiens have had on the ice lately, they potentially have a greater one off the ice.
A suspect arrested last week in a police operation targeting organized crime is an acquaintance of Montreal Canadiens players Andrei and Sergei Kos[censored]yn and Roman Hamrlik, according to a report in Friday's La Presse.
The police reportedly recorded conversations between the arrested man, Pasquale Mangiola, and at least two of the players. La Presse adds that the three Canadiens stars are not suspected of any criminal activity.
Pasquale was arrested on charges of drug trafficking last Thursday as part of an operation called ‘Project Axe.'
The news is the latest distraction for a team that finished 1-4-1 on a crucial road trip and is in danger of missing the playoffs.
