Larose, 39, plead guilty to four assault charges and one count of intimidation in April.

Larose originally came under investigation for alleged attempts to monopolize the window film market near his province. The intimidation and assaults cited in the case took place between February 28, 2003 and November 15, 2007, reports Le Journal de Quebec.

The original indictment filed against Larose included 16 charges ranging from damaging property to assault.

In a statement obtained by LaSoleil, one of Larose’s victims, Christian Bouchard of Reflex Teinte said, “Given the flaws in our justice system, I think this sentence is appropriate. Knowing that there is a provision for early release, it is very clear that he will not spend his complete sentence behind bars. At the very least, it is hoped that it will have calmed him down.”

The court documents state that Larose without any justification and in the interest of acquiring something, misled or attempted to mislead Jean-Sébastien Boyer into carrying out an act using threats, accusations or violence. The documents specify that he forced Boyer to be a part of a trade association and prevented him from freely working in the window film industry.

The documents charge Larose with the same offense against Pier-Luc Paré, Christian Bouchard and David Thibeault. Charges of assault and battery against Paré, Bouchard, Thibeault and Boyer were also made.

Larose was also accused of five counts of  “intentionally or in disregard of the consequences of his act, caused by fire or explosion damage to a good that did not fully belong to him.” The locations include the Tech-Teinte trade, the Or du pare Brise trade, Or Tint trade, property of 9098-5698 Quebec, Inc.

“I am very pleased that the Quebec Provincial Police persevered with the long investigation that ultimately resulted in charges being laid against Yannick Larose,” says Christian Bouchard of Reflex Teinte. “I was one of the victims of his activities and, with his having pleaded guilty, justice will be well served.”

Larose was arrested in August of 2009 and released on bail. He will face sentencing on October 16 and the judge has been notified that the prosecutors intend to seek jail time in sentencing.
