It was reported by an informant in Italy that Carlo Gambino was running an immigrant smuggling operation in the 70s, THROUGH Montreal, with the Cotronis headed up by Paolo Gambino. This is where all the Zips in NYC were coming from.
Frank D'Asti, a top guy of the Cotronis, visited NY and met Paolo Gambino. He was also at the funeral of James "Jimmy Doyle" Plumeri of the Luccheses. He was indicted in August 1973 for his involvement in smuggling more than 300 kilos of heroin into the U.S and Canada.
