A man who tried to kill an associate of Montreal Mafia leader Andrea Scoppa in Dollard des Ormeaux pleaded guilty on Monday to having threatened to kill six people, including a judge, while the attempted murder case was still before the court.

“Regarding the threats, I regret having made them,” Andy Duroseau told Quebec Court Judge Carol Richer at the Montreal courthouse on Monday before he was sentenced for both the threats and for attempting to kill Nicola Valiante, Scoppa’s driver and close associate, while both men were being investigated for cocaine trafficking in 2014.

Scoppa was killed in Pierrefonds in October last year, but the homicide has nothing to do with Duroseau’s case.

Richer agreed with a common suggestion made by prosecutor François Godin and defence lawyer Antonio Cabral that Duroseau be sentenced to an overall prison term of 12 years for attempting to kill Valiante and a pregnant woman who was a passenger in his car when the shooting took place in the West Island on Oct. 3, 2014.
