One of Canada’s most-wanted fugitives has been arrested in Spain after spending more than three years evading authorities, marking a significant breakthrough in an international effort to combat organized crime.
Quebec provincial police announced that 36-year-old All Boivin, of Saguenay, Quebec, was taken into custody in the southern Spanish resort city of Marbella by the European Operational Team, a specialized law enforcement unit operating in cooperation with European authorities. Police have not disclosed the exact date of the arrest.
Boivin had been the subject of Canada-wide arrest warrants since February 2023 and was wanted on numerous charges, including alleged involvement in gangsterism, aggravated assault, kidnapping, forcible confinement, and weapons trafficking. The charges have not been proven in court.
Investigators allege that Boivin is a close associate of Dave “Pik” Turmel, the suspected leader of the Blood Family Mafia. Turmel was arrested in Italy in March 2025 and remains the subject of extradition proceedings.
Authorities allege that the Blood Family Mafia has been engaged in a violent territorial conflict with outlaw biker gangs in Quebec. Police have linked the conflict to a series of serious violent incidents, including kidnappings, assaults, torture, amputations, and homicides, with some of the alleged acts reportedly being shared on social media.
Quebec provincial police described Boivin’s arrest as an important achievement in the ongoing fight against organized crime and a major step toward improving public safety. Officials credited the success to close cooperation between Quebec provincial police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Interpol, and European law enforcement agencies, highlighting the growing importance of international collaboration in pursuing fugitives who attempt to evade justice by crossing international borders.
Before his arrest, Boivin ranked second on Canada’s list of most-wanted fugitives under the BOLO Program, a national initiative operated in partnership with Canadian police agencies to assist in locating dangerous fugitives. Prior to his own arrest in Italy, Turmel had occupied the top position on the list.
A reward of up to $250,000 had been offered for information leading to Boivin’s capture, underscoring the high priority authorities placed on locating and apprehending him.
Boivin is expected to face legal proceedings in Spain as Canadian authorities pursue the necessary extradition process to return him to Canada, where he will answer to the outstanding charges before the courts.
