The remainder of his criminal organization-related charges will be stayed following sentencing, according to federal Crown prosecutor Lynn Hintz.

On Jan. 14, 2015, police raided 18 locations, including the Hells Angels clubhouse in Saskatoon. Officers seized guns, cash and large quantities of drugs, including fake Oxycontin pills.

Nowakowski was one of 14 people taken into custody as a result of the busts.

The 47-year-old remains free on bail and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 3, 2018.
