The Provençals form one of the most illustrious organized crime families in Quebec. Of the ten Provençal children, nine have criminal records, just like their father.

The eldest, Roger Provençal is considered in his time as "the biggest kingpin of the French-speaking underworld in Montreal". He is the head of gang activities involved in extortion, drug trafficking, robberies and hijackings.
