And I really don't believe that a French-Canadian is in a position to order Sicilian mafiosi to carry out hits for him in Sicily.
I agree that Desjardins probably doesn't act on his own, but theoretically it's not like Italian organized crime is above accepting contracts from non-made people if they pay well. For example, the 'ndrangheta boss Santo Asciutto organized a hit in 1991 for some dentist who wanted to kill his wife. Money owns them all.
