MONTREAL — A former Hells Angels boss already serving a life sentence in the death of two prison guards pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring to kill another underworld figure.

The Crown says a sentencing hearing for Maurice (Mom) Boucher is scheduled for May 11.

The names of his two alleged accomplices in the conspiracy to murder Raynald Desjardins are protected by a publication ban as they are facing a trial in 2019.

Crown officials say the conspiracy was hatched between July and November 2015, while Boucher was behind bars.

The Crown and defence will make a joint sentence recommendation to Quebec Superior Court Justice Eric Downs.
