No. Sciascia's son is named Joseph Mark Scascia and he runs a restaurant in Montreal. Liborio Sciascia might have been related.

Shadow of the fallen godfather Vito Rizzuto is behind three arsons that damaged property belonging to the businessman Domenico Arcuri over the last 10 days.

This is what several sources believe the police and the criminal underworld consulted yesterday by the Journal. Our sources even say that these incidents were the "infancy" of the upcoming release from prison of the fallen godfather and his supporters begin to "set the table" for his eventual return to the metropolis.

In a little over a month in fact, Vito Rizzuto leave the penitentiary in Florence, Colorado, after serving a 10 year sentence for his involvement in the murders of three Bonanno clan lieutenants committed in 1981 in New York.

A taste

While nobody dared to bet a penny on his return after the assassination of the father of Vito Rizzuto, Nicolo, in autumn 2010, observers are now more likely to believe that he will return to Montreal to resume place and settle accounts.

The arson committed against a construction company owned by the brothers Arcuri, Mirabeau street in the borough of Anjou, August 17, and Molotov cocktails thrown at a commercial building on Boulevard Maurice-Duplessis owned Domenico Arcuri, yesterday, August 22, could be a taste.

If Domenico Arcuri and Vito Rizzuto are already "in the same camp" in the past, they would be now.

Sources of the police and the criminal told the Journal that Domenico Arcuri, with other actors such as the businessman Raynald Desjardins, Salvatore Montagna aspiring sponsor, had taken an active part in the struggle for influence that led to the collapse of the Rizzuto clan at the end of 2010.

Ephemeral

However, a dispute broke out between then Desjardins and Montagna. Desjardins was the victim of an attempted murder spectacular Laval in September 2011.

Two months later, Montagna was killed on the island Vaudry, Charlemagne, after being lured into a trap. Desjardins and four other individuals were arrested a month later and are now accused of murder.

Found

Arson committed against Domenico Arcuri buildings would therefore be a message.

Police sources have indicated qu'Arcuri is currently found, also a rumor circulating in the Italian cafes in the city.

In cafés, it is also said that family members Arcuri reportedly tried to calm the people with influential mafia "but they have been turned back," we were told.

Police sources also told us that even when the weather was good, in the Mafia, Domenico Arcuri Vito Rizzuto and had their disputes.

Eurodave right on the trigger. Thanks. Police also mentioned that arcuri brothers are nowhere to be reached.

been reading about this war for a year or more some one put up a pic of domic arcuri, and i wonder if he was related to the famous gambino capo by the last name arcuri.

I doubt anyone will be able to find an online photo of Domenico Arcuri Jr. till a picture accompanies a future article about him.

Arcuri Jr. is not related to the deceased Joe Arcuri (d. 2007), who was a longtime member of the Gambino Family. The former may be a first cousin once removed of the deceased Giuseppe Arcuri (d. 2001), who was a member of the Bonanno Family in New York and who had close ties to George from Canada, given they spent much time together in Long Island. Both Giuseppe Arcuri and Sciascia were born in the same Sicilian hometown as other Rizzuto clan members.

Law enforcement and veteran organized-crime reporters and writers had, in the past, confused Joe Arcuri and Giuseppe Arcuri. (Joe Arcuri's Christian name was very likely Giuseppe, so this very likely added to the confusion.) I unfortunately confused the two shortly after Joe Arcuri died in 2007, posting on the RealDeal forum how he was related to Domenico Arcuri Sr. in Montreal and Giacinto Arcuri in Toronto -- Joe Arcuri was not related at all to these individuals.

from what i can tell, arcuri screwed this whole thing up trying to become boss, now just a matter of time until he gets whacked

Vito is a target, and he certainly isn't safe within these next upcoming months of his release. But if anyone can lead Montreal back it's him. How it plays out is still a mystery. I still say Vito is after blood, but whether or not he survives cannot be predicted.

Another building firebombed this morning. Right next door to Arcuris ice cream factory. Most likely their building too.

MONTREAL – Add another professional-appearing overnight torch job to the recently burgeoning list of arson cases being probed in the city’s north end.

A fire that broke out in a minivan parked less than a metre from a two-storey commercial building in Saint-Léonard – and that spread with remarkable rapidity – was clearly planned, Constable Anthony Cantelmi of Montreal police said Thursday morning.

"The speed at which the fire spread indicated that it was set intentionally,” he added.

Arson investigators were called at 11:40 p.m. Wednesday by firefighters trying to extinguish the blaze, on Creusot St. near Magloire St.

The commercial building, which housed an auto-body shop and a second business, was extensively damaged.

Two other vehicles were also destroyed.

No estimate of monetary damage was immediately available.

No injuries were reported.

The crime scene is located several blocks north of the Metropolitan Expressway, just east of Langelier Blvd.

Cantelmi wouldn’t speculate whether the latest incident and a spate of similar ones is linked to organized crime, adding that this will be up to investigators to determine.

Apparently police sources say that they hit the wrong building. So much for sending professionals.

Well seems they've been using drug addicts and low lifes to do most of these. So far only a few have bungled so can't really complain about their method. Too risky and embarrassing for an Italian to get caught doing such a thing.
