A Vaughan grandfather considered by police to be an associate of alleged Montreal Mafia kingpin Vito Rizzuto remains in custody after losing a marathon detention review.

Carmelo Bruzzese, 64, remains behind bars at the Maplehurst Detention Centre after an immigration officer ruled Friday that he is a danger to the public and a flight risk.

Bruzzese has been in custody since he was arrested in August by the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency on an immigration warrant. He has permanent resident status in Canada, where he has lived on and off since the early 1960s, but remains an Italian citizen.

Bruzzese, whose wife and sons are Canadian citizens, was acquitted of a Mafia-related offence in Italy in 2008 related to his association with Rizzuto. Bruzzese has no record of criminal conviction in Canada or Italy....
