The Rock Machine's cocaine smuggling and distribution triggered extra police scrutiny, and 1994, his older brother Salvatore was also arrested with eleven tons of cocaine. Cazzetta was be released in 1997 and briefly led the Rock Machine during the Quebec Biker War against the Hells Angels. He pleaded guilty to four charges the following spring and would be sentenced to four years in prison.
In April 1992, Giovanni Cazzetta was arrested by police and charged with trafficking in narcotics after police found him to be in possession of three kilograms of cocaine. Parker also wrote that Cazzetta too forged alliances, principally with the Bandidos, another powerful motorcycle club, and that he forged ties with cocaine cartels, and became one of Montreal's principal importers of cocaine. He wrote that Boucher worked to rebuild his chapter's ties with other chapters and other underworld groups. Īccording to Parker, the Hells Angels would not instigate any issue against the Rock Machine out of concern the powerful Rizzuto Family would intervene. Only his brother Salvatore would hold more influence. Giovanni Cazzetta would hold the position of second-in-command. So, where Boucher joined the Hells Angels, the Cazzettas formed their own motorcycle club, the Rock Machine, taking over turf formerly controlled by the weakened Montreal chapter of the Hells Angels. According to Parker, the Cazzetta brothers were closely related to a senior member of the Rizzuto crime family, and thus adopted the position that underworld members should not kill other members of their own club. According to true crime author RJ Parker, the massacre was met with distrust within other elements of Quebec's underworld. Following the Hells Angels' internal Lennoxville massacre – which occurred when five senior members were ambushed and killed due to elements within the club's Montreal chapter suspecting they were embezzling club profits – the Cazzetta brothers and Boucher went their separate ways.
Salvatore, along with Maurice "Mom" Boucher, was a leader the anti-immigration SS, which was under consideration for an invitation to join the Hells Angels. He remained a member of the organization in Quebec until 1984, when he left to join his brother Salvatore in the SS Motorcycle Club, also known as the SS Merciless Riders. Giovanni Cazzetta joined the Outlaws at a young age and was involved in the events of the First Biker War. He was also formerly a longtime member of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in Quebec. Giovanni Cazzetta (born 1957) is a Canadian outlaw biker and gangster who was a co-founder of the Rock Machine Motorcycle Club along with his brother Salvatore Cazzetta. 5 years' imprisonment to be served concurrently with his 9 year sentence (1999)
