The Casalesi clan has a presence in the city. Montreal has gambling, narcotics, legitimate businesses and a couple of other things going on in the city and surrounding cities. Known associates to the Rizzutos and Cotronis, are Remo Castelli, Frank Battista, and Phil Romani. The Manasseri family and Dominic Arecchi were associates, but they seemed to have split from the Rizzutos and each other in 2012, maybe even earlier in 2011.
