Joe Di Maulo's funeral will be held in the Notre-Dame-du-Carmel Church, the same church that held Agostino Cun trera's funeral. The difference is that Cun tera's visitation took place at Loreto.

So, does this mean Rizzuto was involved, or they think he was, since it's not being conducted at his place..??

most likely, the Rizzutos found out, he was one of the defectors. therefore, bad blood, so.. no go on Loreto.

The remains of mobster Joe Di Maulo murdered outside his home last week, today is exposed from 14h in a funerary complex in eastern Montreal.

In the utmost discretion, relatives Di Maulo come to pay their last respects.

Di Maulo, 70, an influential member of the criminal Italian was hit by at least two bullets in the head outside his home in Blainville, Sunday, November 4.

Many experts believe that it may have paid with his life for his lack of loyalty to the Sicilian Rizzuto family in recent years. Mediator rather than a leader, he was reproached for not having chosen his camp have preferred navigate between factions, as it always has.

Giuseppe Di Maulo comes from the region of Molise, in southern Italy. His wife is the sister of Raynald Desjardins, very influential in the world of Italian organized crime. One of his daughters is married to the son of the late Frank Cotroni, former leader of the Calabrian clan that had dislodged Rizzuto to take control of Montreal.

Funeral of Mafia members are often organized by the Loreto funeral home in St. Léonard owned by the Rizzuto family. But entourage Di Maulo instead opted for the complex of Magnus Poirier 6825, rue Sherbrooke Est.

Fully enclosed underground garage to enter the lounge away from reporters, but also the police, who discreetly monitor the premises.

Special measures have been implemented in this funerary complex can accommodate seven funerals. The latter is held today Monday around noon, after which the whole complex was reserved Di Maulo until the funeral Wednesday at 11 am at Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, St. Leonardo.

Is at the request of the family, as a security measure or a coincidence?

"It's like this," said an employee of simply complex, smile.

And from 14h succeed luxury cars carrying members of the entourage of Joe Di Maulo. Some seem irritated by the presence of the media. Far we have not seen any figure known criminal backgrounds or artistic - Joe Di Maulo has long been a cabaret owner and maintained friendships with some celebrities of his time.

Many wreaths are delivered. Among others, one marked "Cotroni family" and another, "Anthony Di Maulo" (his nephew).

A man who says he very well known Joe Di Maulo in the past when he was a boxer, described as a friend of the stars, "a cyclist and golfer unparalleled," a "man in the middle of the hand." He refuses to talk about his commitment offense, saying that he was "in competition with others."

He says he heard, at the funeral, Joe Di Vito Rizzuto Maulo had met the day before the murder.

"He says he heard, at the funeral, Joe Di Vito Rizzuto Maulo had met the day before the murder."

If true, wow!

If Di Maulo and Vito met the day before the murder....?
The services are not being held at the Rizzuto funeral home ....

A picture is emerging.

This report comes from the Journal de Montreal that mentions "di Maulo was called to a meeting with Vito a couple of days before his murder."

Cotroni's have sent flowers/Rizzuto's have not. Very interesting indeed.

Although it may seem tempting, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet.

Payback has started...

I think this murder could be a clear message from Rizzuto that no one will be given a pass, not even Di Maulo.

According to me, you're second hand news. I don't post anything that is made up, so watch yourself. I know many of the Caruana's and Cun trera's and many are married into my husband's family in Sicily. I was there in July, 2010 (like I am nearly every year) right after Agostino was killed and I attended the small memorial service his family and friends in Agrigento had for him.

I don't go around digging into people's business, checking funeral homes and cemetery plots, I only post about what I know. So keep my name and any half-threats you have regarding me out of your mouth.

What about his drug trafficking? Or do you support the legalization of drugs?

Interesting article -not sure what to make of it, other than he stands by Raynald Desjardins as his family, and that he was not afraid to walk the streets alone.

Very interesting article and interview:

Mylène Di Maulo, Joe Di Maulo's daughter who is married to Frank Cotroni Jr., was interviewed. Video and text, in French, is available here:

http://tvanouvelles.ca/lcn/infos/faitsdivers/archives/2012/11/20121106-102700.html

The article claims that Di Maulo, Desjardins, Vittorio Mirarchi, Salvatore Montagna and Domenico Arcuri formed an alliance to wrestle away control of the organization from the Rizzutos and that Di Maulo served as consigliere for this group.

^^^ No reason 4 this kind of behavior...

I´m kinda surprised Canadian LE does not round up all of the guys involved with the Montreal Mafia for questioning or even better, hand out subpoenas. Why isn´t this done?
I mean, the war has been raging now for three years and not much has been done by the Canadian police in order to stop the shootings and the violence. Is LE up there totally in the dark of what´s going on?

Again, Di Maulo's death is fascinating in the context of Vito's return. I may have mentioned in another thread that if Vito wants to reclaim lost territory, this is going to make an interesting case study about how an old time mafiosi plans to take back what's his.

Can you believe some posters actually go around checking funeral homes and cemetery plots? These are people with too much time on their hands. Just sayin'! :^)

I love you antimafia. I've known you for how many years now, that I know you know where I'm coming from and how I am.

Short story on DiMaulo´s funeral.

http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Funeral+reputed+boss+Joseph+Maulo+Leonard/7546944/story.html

According to sources, only a few known mobsters attended. Only Cotroni family members showed up.

Not suprisingly as they had to show up due to the longstanding ties between both families.

You never hear anything about Frank Cotroni's sons, Nicodemo and Frank. I wonder what their role is, if any, in the ongoing power struggle.

Also, I think, if i understand things, Gallo played a role too, before being deported to italy.

funny you mention the Canadian LE. their mentality is, better they kill themselves off, just like gang murders. unless the public is in arms way, then they will make every effort to satisfy the public outcrys.
In the meantime, the LE is happy that they murder themselves off, no need to spend man hours to try and stop it, and why waste public monies to arrest these individuals and use up public funds to put them in jail.
Remember, unless the public is affected. case example; The California Sandwichs - Russo shooting in Toronto. The public were doing flips or another example; the Montreal Biker wars, which claimed innocent victims throughout that melee.

Newcomer to this board...but certainly not wet behind the years.

Here's a picture of the home the police cordoned off..

Welcome, ashta. Good to have you in the BB. Nice house pic.

Add Mohamed Awada, 47, to the list

member of the lebanese mafia, killed by bullets in front of his house on saturday the 17th, nov.

He was part of the group that kidnapped Nino de Bartolomeis, a lieutenant of Francesco Arcadi who is a high ranked member of the Rizzuto family.

among the same group were andrew and salvatore scoppa and danny de gregorio

it would be interesting to know who is committing the murders. External paid killer (like some black) or the same made members?Maybe some italian-canadian wiseguys that nobody knows? Which member of rizzuto s clan was free and able to kill Di Maulo?
Would be useful to draw up a chart of Rizzutos

the most murders are done by made members
i think the lopresti, nick sr., renda, dimaulo are typical mafia murders
blacks don't do this kind of murders usually
the typical murder in front of your house wuth 2 bullets in the head is mafia, not gangs

anyway in montreal it seems the italian mafia has tons of manpower
