The defense argues the voice isn’t clearly Thibault’s and that “go to war” is just business talk. Thibault, already in custody after being denied bail on other charges, also has three prior intimidation/extortion cases dismissed due to witness subpoenas being overlooked — an error the RCMP admitted. He’s separately awaiting sentencing on an assault with a weapon charge. With a June 12th ruling expected, the case probes whether Thibault, labeled by police as a community “boss,” truly runs a criminal syndicate — a claim his lawyer dismisses as exaggerated.
