- a conflict between these 2 but NOT involving any outside OC groups or "backers" from mtl area. with this theory neither side would have been helped by the robert/plouffe faction of the mtl chapter of HA. i say this only because both sides have been alleged to be allied with the robert/plouffe faction in the past 2 years. the same can be said that neither side is being backed by other mafia cells. so no sollecito involvement or barberio/pizzi, stating these last 2 names will run us into trouble soon.
possible reasons for conflict rizzutos a. del balsos behavior over past few years. -oct. 18 2018 arrest for threatening TVA reporter felix seguin in which he received a 30 day sentence dec. 6 2018. -sept. 6 2022 arrest for alleged extortion of clergy at saint-maxime church in chomedey of $5000/week for forgotten jewelry in donating clothes.
del balsos b. del balsos possible dislike for l. rizzutos leadership or lack there of. c. business disagreement or large incurred debt by one or the other.
-i wont bring up past info about del balsos alleged extortions in quebec city circa 2017/2018. to this date he has never been arrested or charged with anything. any info from this period seemed to suggest del balso was persona non grata in mtl and looking to develop rackets in quebec city.
note: from the latest reports from la presse, journal de mtl and tva this seems to be the accepted theory among media and police. that there is a personal conflict between these 2. how then does that explain the numerous arsons relating to the barberio/pizzi cell?
