If you have something to add,write it down,so i can add it in original post,lets make this list even better!

Thx for the link, Strax. Another good timeline-read about the events in Montreal.
It contains much information... i guess it's Lorenzo Lopresti, Joe's son, that was killed in 2011.

The restaurant La Cantina was the site last night of a second arson, the first incident having taken place just nine days ago on November 24.

The restaurant was at one time co-owned by 2009 murder victim Federico Del Peschio (see timeline above).

nice one strax

we should add bravo, pimentel and ciancutti

How many members are they estimated to have? What was/is the reason for the war? How many organizations are there (I read the Cotroni and Rizzutos were different factions, Am I wrong?)

Who are the rising stars? is all this unknown?

anymore questions?

jeez

And carmine verduci

GREAT!!! Documentary on Rizzutos (Part 1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HkEB9WW7c

(Rizzuto Documentary Part 2)

The audio recordings are pretty comical on this doc.

what about Leonardo Rizzuto?

The Fucks with you? He said to ask, I fucking asked, get outta here with that attitude, you don't bullshit me

actually ^ this ^ is the attitude that will get you out of here

this is a specific thread started by Strax to sum up the war's data. he asked to add info/names that could make this list more precise.

pay attention before going full boor on people...behave yourself

there are currently many threads that are better suited to answer you questions about montreal's past/war/whatever.
besides, use the search bar. the info you're after have been discussed a hell of a lot already.

he's never been the target of an assassination attempt, so he's rightfully not on the list

You forgot the attempt on Danny De Gregorio on June 15, 2009, which could have been a response for the murder of Sam Fasulo, or the kidnapping of Nino Bartolomeis in 2008.

Vito Rizzuto was arrested on Jan 20, 2004. And you have the murder of Ennio Bruno twice.

I think the first Ennio Bruno was when he was wounded. Im pretty sure there were a couple of attempts on his life. The second one succeeded.

Also, I wonder why the firebomb on Del Peschio's cafe? He was pro Rizzuto I thought. Who is running it now and who do they support?

wonder who had the balls to kill agostino badword. isn't that guy like international mafia royalty, that family split 500 kilos of herion with the cherry hill gambinos. must be a lot of hurt feeling up there. this cant be good for business. there killing each other like crips in bloods in la during the 80tys. you know how the other 4 famiyls sent mediaters to try helping the colombos stop fighting in the 90tys, nyc must a horse in the race.whats the relation Liborio sciascia to George the capo murder in the Bronx, was he the son. that old guy john pops did rizzuto really have him murder back in 1996, any revenge from families?
