was only convicted of being part of conspiracy to committ murders. and i think he served time at lower security facility near adx florence. but i could be wrong. because yes 3 murders=10 years is a joke of a sentence even in canada let alone the mighty u.s. justice system.

They must have had a terribly weak case.
The only logical answer.

When he plead to the judge he had to admit he was the shooter.
He said something like “ I was hiding in the closet I jumped out and said this is a stick up and I started shooting”

As I said read the book so long ago.

Anyhow not on this case however, in general guys that flipped ended up doing 6,7,8,10 years and they sold their sole for that.
I’m sure majority would have taken 10 with a guilty plea rather than 6 and flipping.

Just to put it in perspective Peter Pan got a dime piece for biting a car, and Nicedemo got 25-50 for being the get away driver with one body.

Porsches were used in attempt on Leonardo Rizzuto's life, SQ believes
https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...pt-on-leonardo-rizzutos-life-sq-believes

well we can rule out the HA maybe. standard MO is a burned out caravan. la di da in montreal doing hits in a porsche must be nice.

The headline of the THREAD is wrong he wasn’t only shot at, he was SHOT.

Article stating that a 32 year old man from Mascouche has been arrested late last night. Still looking for the other Porsche involved. Stay tuned…

https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2...isant-leonardo-rizzuto-un-homme-arrete-1

As it turns out, the man arrested is Kevin Rochebrun, a man tied to street gangs (no indication of which affiliation). He has not been charged so far, only arrested. All we know so far is that he was also charged with one of the many murder attempts on Marco Pizzi, specifically in 2016.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...do-rizzuto/un-premier-suspect-arrete.php

Fact: If history teaches us anything, Rochebrun cannot finish the job as intended, as moving vehicles seem to be his preference, but that also ups the degree of difficulty.

Arrest made in attempted hit on alleged Montreal Mafia leader Leonardo Rizzuto

If he really did it then based on his profile he seems quite disposable. So it’s best for him to flip. No way those who wanted to get rid of Rizzuto would take the chance to let this guy consider flipping later on while imprisoned awaiting trial. They’d take him out as soon as they can. I’m surprised they didn’t off him already after messing up the hit.

well then now the plot thickens.
rocheburn indeed is guy who made attempt on marco pizzi in 2016. wonder how he was still un imprisoned after that debacle?

oh right its canada.

he would have some interesting tales to tell that is for sure.

little more info from pizzi attempt here. was never charged with the attempt itself it seems, was serving a 3 year sentence for firearms offences.

Montreal Mafia: arrest of a suspect who has a grudge against the Rizzuto clan

Massimo Campellone was the object of the same threat made to his younger brother.

Man arrested in failed hit on Leonardo Rizzuto released without charges

It was Salvatore Scoppa who allegedly wanted Marco Campellone dead to which Stefano Sollecito gave permission for because Marco Campellone allegedly tried to kill Salvatore Scoppa the previous year.

Wow the Campellones are interesting family I believe they are from Molise like Del Balso..

He was in his twenties for god’s sake and he wanted to drop guys like a boss
Way over his head

Where did you hear he was from Molise?

A poster here eurodave said Del Balso is from Molise.

There are a bunch of Montreal guys from the Molise region but I'm pretty sure Francesco Del Balso is Calabrian. Does anyone else know?

Marco Campellone was a cool and popular guy he didn't deserve to die at that age.

We were both wrong he's from Puglia like the Sollecitos.

Mafia, Leonardo Rizzuto ambushed in Montreal: suspect arrested and released
April 28, 2023 Editorial board 0 comments Cattolica Eraclea , Leonardo Rizzuto , Mafia , Montreal
Quebec police officers, team to combat organized crime (ENRCO), arrested Thursday night and released in the past few hours a 32-year-old man from Mascouche among suspects in the shooting in which Leonardo Rizzuto, a native of Cattolica Eraclea, was injured, believed to be at the top of the Italian-Canadian mob. On March 15, Rizzuto, son of late Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto, was driving a black Mercedes on Highway 440 in Laval when his vehicle was hit by a barrage of gunfire from assailants in a Porsche. Macan in the early evening.

Where'd that come from? Could you share the source for it?

This is what happens when you hire a shitbag off the street to do work, they get arrested sooner rather than later. Whatever happened to the days when the Mafia had plenty of capable killers in their ranks to do these hits, and you didn't have to pay them? They did it out of honor and duty.

Not sure that's right either because whoever wrote that is wrong on Di Maulo.

Di Maulos are from Molise.

This was a taped conversation. DelBalso, according to this article he is Calabrian. This is a reply to a previous message you posted.



Arcadi and Rizzuto resolved to find out the Italian origins of Rosmar Litho’s owner. They figured if they could find someone whose origins were from the same village in Calabria, Rosmar Litho could at least be approached about dropping the lawsuit. But the threat of violence was kept as a second option.


“At the same time we can do another thing. You or me, we’ll send a few young men. They know how to talk. Nobody knows them . . . to give him the message to see if he understands,” Arcadi told Rizzuto.


Arcadi and Rizzuto assigned Del Balso to find the right person to approach Rosmar Litho’s owner. On April 26, 2006, Del Balso was recorded on wiretaps telling his own father that the assignment was “breaking his balls” and that he was asked to solve the problem because he, Del Balso, was “paesano” from the same Italian town as Rosmar Litho’s owner.
