Raynald Desjardins was sentenced Monday to fourteen years behind bars for his lead role in the 2011 hit of ex-Bonananno boss Salvatore “Sal the Ironworker” Montagna following a souring of their relationship.

Montagna was murdered in November 2011 and Desjardins and a small group of men who were in on the plot to kill him were arrested on Dec. 20, 2011.

They believed the messages sent under BlackBerry's messaging system were encrypted, but the RCMP were able to read them through access to BlackBerry's global decryption key.

Both Montagna and Desjardins were part of a group of influential crime figures who tried to take control of the Montreal Mafia in 2010 while the Rizzuto organization was struggling to stay in charge, according to the Montreal Gazette.
