Claude LavallĂ©e, who pioneered wiretapping techniques in Quebec in the late 1960s, said in a book to be released Wednesday (RĂ©vĂ©lations d’un espion de la SQ / Revelations of an SQ Spy – ISBN 13: 9782761927048) that the murder of the Liberal minister in October 1970 by the Front de LibĂ©ration du QuĂ©bec put an end to the investigation.
The author even claims that wiretaps caught a leading organized crime figure offering the Mafia’s help in finding Mr. Laporte before he was killed. (more)
