Violi was killed because his Reggio cafe was bugged for over a year and he said a lot of shit he shouldn't of said. Not only that but he didn't make his situation any better during his appearance at the Quebec Crime Commission, it had little while to do with Nicolo. I'd like to know what media it is you're referring to, because this is honestly the first time I'm hearing Nicolo was exiled. Not to mention the Sixth Family, in both the original and updated versions of the book state he voluntarily left. As well as other sources on the matter. And quite frankly, there's been nothing to support the claim that Nicolo was exiled.



Petrino also wasn't a "Sicilian from the old country, he was Violi's consigliere, when Violi was filling in for Cotroni as acting boss, while he was jailed. Pietro Sciara is Zio Petrino. Now I'm going to prove this claim incorrect, and here's where I have to question these media sources of yours. Pietro Sciara spent portions of his life in Cattolica Eraclea. But he was a Canadian resident after being sentenced to house arrest in the Northern Part of Italy. He was made consigliere by Cotroni & Violi, so he was wrongfully and ultimately loyal to them and it's ultimately what got him killed. Now, Violi was literally the only one wanting to exile Nicolo after he couldn't get the Commission to back his request of killing him. Now Nicolo himself went to NY, without anyone calling him there or being sent for, and he met with NY Bonannos. Its unknown what was said during this meeting and it's the only time Nicolo ever went to New York . After this, Natale Evola sent Bonanno representives to Montreal to meet with Violi, Sciara was present at this meeting, the Bonanno reps consisted of Michael Zaffarano, Nicolemo Alfano, and Nicolo Buttafuoco. After Violi, repeated to them how Nicolo went from place to place, without seeking permission, acting like he ran his own family, and ultimately did his own business without including the Violi & Cotroni, the Bonanno reps, because of Nicolos drug connects in South America, ruled that Violi should keep Nicolo in the Montreal fold. Now prior to this, Violi managed to get one Sicilian Mafiosi on his side, Tommaso Buscetta, who strangely enough, had strong ties himself to the Bonannos, he suggested to Nicolo that he just obey Violi and Cotroni, claiming that since Nicolo wasn't a full fledged member of the Siculiana clan, that he just abide by Violi, and wait until hes inducted into the Bonannos. Buscetta was right about the Siculiana part, because Nicolo was a full fledged member of the Manno Clan in Cattolica Eraclea, of course Nicolo didnt listen. Mind you Nicolo had already left for Venezuela, prior to Violi and his exile talk..Pasquale [BadWord] who hosted this meeting, then had to explain to Buscetta, how they're drug pipeline worked, with Nicolos involvement. During this time the Caruana-[BadWord] and the Rizzutos by extension, where the leading importers of Heroin into the US. After this meet, Nicolo simply went back to Venzuela, which enraged Violi. Violi then requested to meet with Antonino Calderone, who was a Sicilian boss from Catania. He wasnt impressed by Violi, called him a fat slob, and automatically felt Nicolo and his Sicilian faction, shouldve held rank and say over Cotroni & Violi. As he said that there were no Men Of Honor in Calabria and he didnt consider them Mafioso. He says Violi was going to Calabria seeking out Mafioso, which he then said, there weren't any in Calabria. He also questioned that if Violi was such a big time gangster, how come he didn't have his own direct channel with 'Ndranghesti in Calabria? He also said that they, in Sicily, didn't induct Calabrians because they talked too much and was always arguing amongst themselves, knowing they we're inferior to Cosa Nostra. He said all this in his memoirs.

During the same time period of that meeting is when Violi secured an audience with Giuseppe Settecasi. Settecasi refused to turn on a Paesano.

After the Bonanno meeting, Violi and Sciara, were meeting with Giuseppe "Pino" Cuffaro. Cuffaro, also a Sicilian Mafioso, but of lower rank, requested to be made into the Montreal Outfit. Violi denied his request, stating that Sicilians come into Montreal and dont understand rules. Violi said he didnt want to hear about their Families and ranks in Sicily, and that they had to be loyal to him, Cotroni & America. Cuffaro came back with Carmelo Salemi, a Sicilian Mafioso visiting Montreal from Agrigento and they pressed the issue to Violi. Salemi was in defense of Cuffaro, but he also wanted Giovanni Caruana, a former boss from the Agrigento Province, who moved to Venezuela, to be recognized as a Mafioso, when in Montreal. Violi told Salemi the same thing and instructed he was beginning a five year probationary period, for all Sicilians before they're recognized as Mafioso or made into the Montreal Outfit. This pissed off Salemi and the majority of bosses back in Sicily, whom wanted their men to be recognized as Mafiosi immediately when in Montreal, so they can run their drug operations freely and without issue.

This also angered some Bonannos, who explicably told Violi to let Nicolo operate in Montreal, as well as other Sicilians. Mind you, the majority of these meetings were being recorded by law enforcement. And that combination of things, led to Violi and all those loyal to him, to be killed. Again Nicolo was never exiled, and a combination of his very own refusal to follow orders from NY, and making everything accessible to the RCMP is what lead to his murder.
