Overview
- Quebec provincial police said on June 26 they are working with Europol and Spanish authorities to confirm reports that 36‑year‑old All Boovin has been arrested in Marbella, but custody has not been publicly confirmed.
- Officials say the Sûreté du Québec has involved the RCMP and Interpol to coordinate the investigation and to prepare for possible transfer to Canada.
- Boivin has held a spot on the BOLO Program list of Canada’s most wanted since he fled in February 2023 and faces Canada‑wide warrants for gangsterism, aggravated assault, kidnapping, forcible confinement, weapons trafficking and drug offences.
- Investigators point to the 2025 arrest of alleged Blood Family Mafia leader Dave “Pik/Pic” Turmel in Italy as precedent for lengthy international extradition work and joint law enforcement operations.
- Authorities say Boivin is tied to Quebec’s violent 2022 drug and turf war, and confirmation of his arrest could ease public safety concerns in affected communities while triggering more probes into organized‑crime networks.
