Can anyone shed some light on these guys? What are they involved in, who are their top guys? The only info I have found on them was a few paragraphs in the "6th Family" and "Mafia Inc" which vaguely describe them being ready and willing to go to war with the Rizzuto's BEFORE Massino flipped and Vito was arrested. This leads me to believe they must be significant players in the underworld but there is not much info on these guys and if anyone has any I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it.

Thank you for your time.

You already started a topic like this, no?

I have asked in threads to know avail so decided to start a thread. Doesn't seem to be working much better though. Do you know anything about them?

What I know I already told you.

You have yet to tell me anything accept waste my time. And stop calling Ontario a city. You always seem to through Ontario between Toronto and Montreal when referring to Canadian cities. Ontario happens to be the most populous province in Canada, not a city.

There is a reason why nobody responds to you. This is another example. I never ever said that Ontario was a city. Don't talk nonsense.

Actually most of my threads get lots of responses. Case in point, my thread titled " Who was behind the hit on Montanga has over 4152 views, more than any non sticky on this board. You are normally a good poster and I'm still not sure why you started giving me attitude.

And you have numerous times referred to Ontario as a city, but I don't want to turn this into a pissing match so I will send you the links to you through PM and show you the multiple times you have actually referred to Ontario as a city.

You do that because there aren't any. I only pointed out that you made a very similar thread about this before, both here and at the real deal forum. It was you giving the attitude.

I must not have read the rules correctly. I didn't know it was a violation to post similar threads here and on realdeal. Thanks for the update.

Let's just forget it and continue discussing the things that matter.

Sounds good to me, and if ever in the future you hear something about the D'Amico's I would greatly appreciate a link.

thanks

A mafia Granby threatened with expulsion

Posted January 19, 2013 at 9:55 am | Updated at 9:55 am

Even at 74 years, Luigi D'Amico could still be caught by his past. The former cheese maker and restorer of Granby, a suspected leader of the local mafia is fighting the Federal Court to avoid being sent back to his home country, Italy. Canada, as it has done with other mafiosi, including the Calabrian Moreno Gallo wants to expel crime. D'Amico, who is a permanent resident drags a criminal record for trafficking cocaine and cannabis. He received a suspended sentence in 2007, but the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration is accused of having breached its conditions. Strong new evidence, part of which was raised during Operation Coliseum mafia, the Minister returned to the charge.

"Important information discovered after the granting of the stay demonstrates that the applicant's portrait painted in 2007 was wrong and that his criminal involvement far exceeds the error of course he claims to have committed," it said in a brief filed last October.

By dint of AK-47

The submission must include the following several conversations and meetings at Consenza, the former headquarters of the Sicilians, Jarry Street between D'Amico and Francesco Arcadi, a lieutenant of the fallen godfather Vito Rizzuto convicted in the wake of the investigation Colosseum, that D ' Amico has admitted knowing for several years and loved "like a son."

These meetings and discussions back to the years 2004-2005 when a conflict has almost degenerated into open war between the two clans about a large debt for exporting marijuana to the United States that went wrong.

During this conflict, an individual with ties to the Mafia and bikers, Sergio Piccirilli, entered the Consenza by displaying a weapon. He and his men also roamed around the coffee for several days. Rizzuto clan soldiers responded by chartering a helicopter which they have fired an AK-47 on the roof of the home of a son of Luigi D'Amico.

It was also during this conflict an alleged marijuana dealer, Nick Varacalli, was abducted from his home on Halloween night and then released, but not without leaving a video shot by his captors that greatly interested investigators.

False allegations

In his testimony before the Immigration and Refugee Board, Luigi D'Amico explained that this conflict had occurred due to a debt of $ 900,000 that Francesco Arcadi had owed his son, Patrizio, for landscaping or construction. Patrizio, who now lives mainly in the Dominican Republic, where he has real estate projects, also testified before the Commission in 2007 and denied the criminal past of his father.

Luigi D'Amico, who is represented by Stéphane Handfield, argues that the evidence presented against him contains errors and "unproven allegations, some of which are supported by newspaper articles which we do not know the sources."

Luigi D'Amico, who arrived in Canada in 1957 at the age of 19, claims to have no contact with his family in Italy. He said that with her 4 children and 11 grandchildren, his life is here and he will be missed by his descendants if deported.

Does anybody know how this works? If you are not a citizen of say, Canada or the US, but a perm resident and you are wanted for questioning in Italy, can they extradite you just for questioning? Even if this person has made their life in the US or Canada and has his wife and children there? Anyone know for sure how this works?

No idea carm but I wish I could help ya out.im sure if they wanted to they could tho I did hear sumthn bout a guy that fought extradition to italy and won cus of how harsh the 41bis thing for mobsters is

Thanks tommy.

For background, see my earlier post in this thread.

The court's decision was made this past Monday, May 6.

A mafia is deported
Vincent Larouche

Published May 7, 2013 08:50 | Updated May 7, 2013 at 8:50

After 57 years in Canada, the patriarch of a Mafia cell Townships Eastern Townships who had already opposed the organization of Vito Rizzuto will eventually be deported to his native Italy.

Luigi D'Amico, 74, was sent to the Federal Court of Canada to prevent his deportation, but his efforts are failing. He will have to return to live in Italy, a country he left in 1956 at the age of 18, to come to Quebec.

Permanent resident who has never obtained Canadian citizenship, Granbyen unsuccessfully tried to argue on humanitarian grounds to stay here with his four children and 11 grandchildren. But his criminal past weighed more heavily in the balance.

The former restaurateur and cheese producer, now retired, has had several run-ins with police since 1992 he was convicted of attempted obstruction of justice, driving while impaired and cocaine. In 2007, he was accused in a major case of cannabis production, but he was acquitted because he lacked an important witness.

During the investigation Colosseum mafia, police also discovered that Luigi D'Amico and his son Tiziano Patrizio and had links with the mafia. They then met with the leaders of the organization Vito Rizzuto to settle a dispute that had almost degenerated into open warfare.

A man entered the Consenza coffee with a weapon to threaten relatives of Rizzuto and a trafficker had even been kidnapped. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had recorded conversations of members of two rival factions that evoked the possibility that all turns into a bloodbath.

The dust then fell. Federal Court, Luigi D'Amico said he wished to lead a peaceful day raise goats in the Eastern Townships if he had been allowed to remain in Canada.

The lawyer D'Amico, Stéphane Handfield, could not hide his disappointment yesterday. "I respect the decision of the court, but I remain convinced that my client did not have the opportunity to showcase all of its defenses. You end up with a 74 year old man who is in Canada for 57 years and for which the consequences are very serious," he told La Presse.

The D'Amico's are a far cry from the Rizzutos or New York and Toronto clans. Which is why this whole beef started in the first place. The Rizzutos didn't care to pay up and knew there would be no real reprecussions if they didn't pay them but what they soon found out is the D'Amico clan had guys with big nuts and very big nuts. So either you settle or go to war with a bunch of guys that have nothing to lose. The Rizzutos would have never lost the war but it wasn't worth possibly losing some key guys. The AK from the helicopter was purley to demonstrate how above the Rizzutos were in comparison to the D'Amicos.

Granby is a hick french town. They are close to the border and can smuggle very easily which is how they got in to business in teh first place but this also gives them access to cash and guns but the D'Amicos are losers in the Underworld.
