MONTREAL - Bandido faces strict conditions

OFF THE WIRE
A Bandidos biker with a history of assaulting women and breaking parole will face extraordinary conditions when he's released from prison.

Citing his "propensity for violence," the National Parole Board said Stephane Gillet will be under house arrest. He'll also be barred from consuming alcohol and drugs.

Gillet, 27, was 12 years old when his father, Alan Gillet, was murdered by a rival gang in the mid-1990s. He began a meteoric rise up the ranks of the Bandidos, who waged a bloody war with the Hells Angels in the 1990s.

In May 2004, Gillet was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for violent crimes.

In the early 2000s he and his henchmen kidnapped a woman and her children while armed with a machine gun. The woman was fired upon and also beaten with fists and baseball bats.

Gillet was granted parole in January 2009 but broke his conditions this past February. He says he has since left the Bandidos gang.
