Good articles Anti, thanks for sharing pal.

Tonino Callocchia's funeral was today.

According to the article to which I've linked below and that I ran through Google Translate--see copy-and-paste results a bit farther below--representatives of the Sollecito family went to the funeral-home visitation on the weekend; Leonardo Rizzuto was at the funeral Mass today.

So if Callocchia seemed to be on good terms with Leonardo Rizzuto and the Sollecito family, why wasn't Callocchia's visitation at the Loreto instead of at the Alfred Dallaire? (Incidentally, the journalist who stated last week that Callocchia's visitation would be at the Laval location of Magnus Poirier got the information wrong.)

LAVAL - The funeral of mafia Tonino Callocchia were held in the utmost discretion in the Church of Our Lady of Divine Love-Laval on Monday afternoon.

The whole ceremony was held in Italian in front of a hundred people, including several related to the Montreal Mafia.

The 53-year-old charge of illegal loans in the greater Montreal area was shot in Rivière-des-Prairies restaurant last Monday after being lured into a trap.

During the entire time of the funeral, several close to the one we nicknamed Tony Coloc paid tribute to him.

As usual, the police intelligence services have posted several agents to take photos of those who came to show their respect to career criminal as the head of a construction company.

RIZZUTO AND SOLLECITO

One of his three daughters came to thank him publicly for having encouraged to continue studying law and become a lawyer. The celebrant, in their early thirties, even read a letter in which he referred to the Rizzuto family.
The mere mention of the name of the Montreal ex-sponsor discrete sparked reactions from the crowd.

Although our sources say Callocchia began to back the new leaders of the Montreal Mafia, we learned that emissaries of the Sollecito family went to the funeral home this weekend.

However, Stefano Sollecito, heir tipped to become the next godfather, was not seen at the funeral.

By cons, Leonardo Rizzuto, the only surviving son of Vito Rizzuto, entered breezed into the church dressed simply in jeans and a short coat.

Two men present at the Alfred Dallaire Funeral threatened to attack our photographer. Another spat on him shortly before the cortege moves off.

What's the chart about were they all the guys opposing rizzuto. Was this guy made man. The dimualo brothers were they both killed. Google translate confuses me.

The image Strax posted shows Callocchia's associates, including the imprisoned Vincenzo Armeni whose ex-wife is, I am fairly certain, the sister of Callocchia's wife. The caption for the image indicates that Callocchia counted among his associates people who were members of the highest echelons of the mafia, including four people who have been eliminated.

We have to bear in mind that, as with any mob war, individuals change sides. Those of you who have read the epilogue in the updated edition of The Sixth Family... that was pubished this past July--I read this epilogue only last week--know to what I'm referring: after being released from prison, Vito Rizzuto met one on one with people and had these individuals swear their loyalty to him. The epilogue does not state with which people Vito met.

I think that Rizzuto and Giuseppe De Vito were able to reconcile their differences after Rizzuto got out of prison and while De Vito was sitting in one--more about this in the near future.

Same french article but with a picture of Charlie Renda and Leonardo Rizzuto leaving the church:

And if Callocchia was not killed because of his supposed disloyalty to the Rizzutos/Sollecitos, then who killed him, and what was the reason?

Fascinating & mysterious stuff

This war is far from over it seems, once it stops, there will be nothing left of the Rizzutos old empire.

Not sure who else would have killed Callocchia, I have no one else in mind either then the Rizzuto faction pulling this type of hit of, out of all the hits thus far in Montreal this one was the biggest IMO, not sure who else either then the Rizzuto faction would have the balls to pull a move on this guy, he was a major player in Montreal for quite sometime.

I agree Scalish, don't see anyone but the Rizzuto faction popping him. Maybe this was like George from Canada, in that the ones that clipped him showed up to throw everyone off? You never know with this bunch, that is for sure!

so the only guy in the chart alive is vicenzo di maulo? all the other pics have words on it. cant read frech.

another whacking today in Montreal:

Thanks for the post Stu....it sounds like author of the article on the Petraroia murder is speculating that it has something to do with LCN: selling cocaine near Little Italy, the grey areas, it was a professional hit...
