http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/quebec...99_article_POS1The murderer of mafioso Emilio Cordileone clearly wanted to send a message by leaving the body of his victim in the heart of its territory and in his own vehicle.
This is at least believe that the police and other sources from different backgrounds consulted by La Presse.
In all likelihood, Emilio Cordileone, 50, who had been missing for two days was killed elsewhere. His body was then returned to the family territory, then abandoned his luxury SUV parked by the curb Sauriol, in Ahuntsic, Montreal. Police officers on routine patrol recognized the vehicle searched and discovered the body around 9:30 Saturday morning.
"The goal of the killer was that the vehicle was recovered. That is not a Honda Civic is a white Range Rover. He was left in the middle of its territory, and there, everyone knows his car, "a source told us.
"This is a traditional way of doing the mafia when you want to send a message. The message seems to be territorial in nature. We did not leave the body here for nothing. It is calculated, "told us another source.
Several tracks
According to our information, Cordileone Emilio was involved in drug trafficking. A few years ago, his family have had links with Hasan Eroglu, heroin trafficker of Turkish origin assassinated at his home in Pointe-Claire, July 2007.
The Cordileone also have strong links with the family of the influential Calabrian Moreno Gallo, who has been tipped to replace Vito Rizzuto head of the Montreal Mafia, following the arrest of the latter in 2004. He was deported for serious criminality at the beginning of the year.
Emilio Cordileone would also have business projects with members of the Gallo family, we were told. His father, Domenico, was close to Joe Di Maulo, another influential gangster murdered in his home in Blainville, last month. The main assumption used by the police to explain the murder of Di Maulo is that it would be disloyal to the Sicilians in the absence of the fallen godfather Vito Rizzuto, released on October 4.
The police will also see if there is a link between the murder and that of Emilio Cordileone Joe Di Maulo, but it is one possibility among others.
One thing is certain: Ahuntsic sectors and Little Italy are hot spots for several weeks. November 17, Mohamed Awada, known to the dirty work of the Mafia, was murdered rue Leblanc, on the edge of the area. Two days earlier, another individual known to police, Gensale Tony, 43, was killed as he left a gym in the Boulevard Saint-Laurent.
Speaking of gym, one of the influential clan leader Andrew Scoppa was the target of an arson attack on 19 October. Other businesses in the area were also visited by arsonists. All these crimes would not, however, the same thread.
Fief
Sources have told us that, since his return, Vito Rizzuto still has not visited Little Italy, yet one of its strongholds.
In contrast, people around him were seen in schools around, chatting with some influential people. According to our information, Vito Rizzuto is still in the process of measuring its support and recover, "having this kind of discussion where one of the questions might be:" You're with me or against me? '" we were told.
