so who r these no necks working for??

There are so many varied splintered independent gangs and ethnicities active up there, that it's nearly impossible to call it "organized" crime lol.

Thats another reason why props should be given to Vito Rizzuto for having had the tenacity and savvy to be able to negotiate with the myriad of gangsters, drug dealers, and far-flung gangs in Canada.

With his demise we see the result. I don't think LE or the general populous realize or give Vito enough credit for his efforts. Because although he may have been what he was, a mafioso to the core. He was also a tactician and very intelligent guy. And a "Politician" albeit a mob politician to have had the ability to "speak" everyones language and "reach" agreeable compromises with all factions.

He pretty much kept violence to a minimum during his tenure.

We now see the true chaos that COULD have been, had a Vito Rizzuto not been at the helm as he was.

Well put ! Problem is l.e doesn't realize but they are better off having someone like Rizzuto in control instead of all these factions fighting . If I remember he even made a similar comment to police before he was extradited . It's the same as New York , whether the police and politicians like it or not they need the 5 families , without them you'd have complete chaos all over the place .

I agree with you

Powerful mobster Nic Spagnolo was reportedly arrested Thursday in connection with attempted murder this weekend in Old Montreal

It was a 911 call at around 2:15 a.m. Sunday morning that brought the police to the intersection of rue Saint-François-Xavier and Notre-Dame-Ouest, in the Ville-Marie borough.
The police discovered the victim, a 27-year-old man, who had been stabbed in the upper body with a stabbing weapon.

Wonder if he stab a street gang member, an member of the biker world or an young guy from the mob world

His father was already shot dead 4 years ago, so powerful is relatively.

Police had determined that Nicola had been the intended target, not Vincenzo.

Seems like a spur of the moment thing, but if he is hanging around the Hells Angels no suprise.

The Rizzutos really came under fire in 2016, Giordano, Sollecito and Spagnolo, etc
Is the Spagnolo murder tied to the Scoppas, if not, who is considered responsible, Violi??

It is an amazing thing the level of raw organized crime violence being exhibited across Canada nowadays. To think in the year 2020 such open warfare could exist is almost a singular phenomena.

Even the Colombo civil war of the early 1990s never came close to what goes on in Montreal, Toronto, etc.

It makes for great mob watching thats for shit sure.

Former coach of MMA icon Georges St-Pierre arrested in Argentina
A former coach of mixed martial artist Georges St-Pierre was arrested for suspected involvement in an international money laundering network.
Vargotskii is a former cornerman for retired UFC champion Georges St-Pierre. Vargotskii, whose surname is also spelled Vargotsky, is himself a former kick-boxing champ from Ukraine and an ex-Soviet Union special forces sniper who served in Afghanistan during the 1980s.

Vargotskii was the last of 19 suspects to be arrested as the result of a major RCMP investigation targeting a criminal organization in Montreal and Toronto. The two-year investigation led to the arrest of 17 suspects in February 2019. Another suspect, Francisco Javier Jimenez Guerrero was arrested on Oct. 24, 2019, in Spain.

Thanks man! OC is huge in MMA in Canada. specifically the HA, St. Pierre used to be managed by Stephane Patry, whose brother was HA during the Biker War. At that time there was no debate which province had the best MMA/Bikers, it was Quebec.

Unless you were in on St. Pierre it is pretty much a broke mans game, not like boxing in America. There is/was a link involving MMA/Bikers in Hamilton that is now emerging with maybe Cudmore being linked via Street gangs to the Hamilton HA, and the murder of Musitano/Barberi.

"He (Cudmore) was a founding member of a street gang known as the North End Crew (NEC), or at least was an early member. As the NEC grew, it became a training ground for larger enterprises, including the Hamilton chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. When the local Hells Angels chapter expanded, several of its new members were recruited from the NEC. The ties between the two groups were so strong that evidence at a 2011 Hamilton licensing hearing for a bar in which cocaine had been sold described the NEC as “an extension of the Hells Angels. Despite the connection, Cudmore never became a Hells Angel; maybe because he had such a hard time staying out of jail."

There was a fight club on Barton and Green (Iron Tiger https://houseofchampionsmma.com/), the head guy in now a cut man in the UFC) in which full patch HA would hang out, in the same plaza where the Monello (Musitano) Social Club is located, also where Giorgio Baressi trained (Iron Tiger), as well as other clubs (Joslins Red Devil/HA Puppet https://joslinsmma.com/) all in Hamilton.

Knowing how to fight and being in a criminal business is a asset and typically valued in those who are looking to recruit talent into their business operation, etc.

The HA in Hamilton are tied into all of the MMA clubs in that City, many cops also train in those places. Now it seems like all the mobsters have been killed in Hamilton or put in prison. There is a brother combo of Cop/Biker from the Parkdale area of Hamilton, Chris Poole (OPP Cop), Vince Poole HA, he was arrested last summer of guns and coke https://www.chch.com/guns-cash-and-1m-worth-of-cocaine-seized-by-hamilton-police/. Seems to be back on the street no problem! lol. This is their family's Motorcycle Shop in the East End of Hamilton https://poolescycle.ca/

I was told that a Super Club that was supposed to be built in the East End of Hamilton in 2014, as part of a pipe line of premium blow from Mexico, as part of Rizzuto making a deal with NY, prior to returning to Canada, to get the details he needed to get Vendetta. The Super Club was a huge failure, but the premium blow connection, became a bit of a sticking force, to the point where it was a major catalyst to the violence in, around, and related to Hamilton, as well as everything else considered business.

True MMA, Kickboxing and don't forget Boxing.
