former head of the Manitoba Hell's Angels has been convicted of six drug related charges.

A judge found Ernie Dew guilty of trafficking cocaine and possessing drug money in connection to three deals in 2005.

This was his second trial as he was awarded a new one on appeal.

Dew was arrested with a dozen other bikers and their associates as part of a year-long police sting.

Justice officials paid a career criminal, Dew's friend, $500,000 to make the drug deals with the bikers while wearing a recording device. Police also videotapped several of the meetings between Dew and the undercover agent.

No date for sentencing has been set, as Dew's lawyer is still set to bring arguments forward his client was illegally entrapped by the sting.
