Yeah, I read he has connections to a "rising figure' in organized crime in Quebec.

Shot at close range: victim paid "cash" and liked luxury.

The owner of a luxurious white convertible that was seriously wounded by a shooter Monday afternoon in Montreal seemed to be riding on gold and living dangerously.

Samy Kaci Mokaddem, active in lending and private investment, but also targeted by a police investigation for fraud, was still hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday night.

This French national was hit by "at least one projectile in the upper body", according to the SPVM, while sitting at the wheel of his gleaming Bentley parked in front of a business in the Rosemont district.


The gunman fled, leaving his gun on the spot, in the manner of settling accounts with the signature of the organized crime.

The man shot in his Bentley is dead.
The 39-year-old with at least one bullet in his head while sitting aboard his Bentley convertible in Montreal Monday died of his injuries, La Presse said . According to our information, Samy Mokaddem was artificially kept alive since the events occurred in broad daylight, under a bright sun, around 13:30 on Monday, on Bélanger Street.

The man shot at close range in his gleaming convertible in Montreal Monday had a new companion whose father-in-law is linked to both the Italian mafia and the Irish underworld, according to our sources.

The father-in-law held an important position in a chain that imported cocaine into the country and received a heavy jail sentence in 2009. The Montreal police investigators (SPVM) will try to determine if there is a link between this information and aggression.

So who is the father in law? Anyone have a guess?

Khano or Torre
both arrested in 2009 and received long jail sentences

I wonder which city many tough places in France.

The guy is also into the legal marijuana business.

Didn't think Khano was Italian... although they mentioned Italian mafia... not an actual Italian.

Kahno was once quoted as being of Arab descent. He speaks several languages including Italian.

Don't think Torre or Khano are old enough to be father-in-law to a 39 year old.

A little over two months after he was shot and wounded when his business was shot by a gunman with a shotgun , the owner is struggling to recover.

Tony Elian, owner of the Giorgio Gruppo Roma clothing store on Peel Street in downtown Montreal, is back at work. He is ailing and sits in a wheelchair since he is still wounded in his left foot.

Perfection Metal Trial: pistols used for the murder of Ducarme Joseph and other crimes.

Machine guns made by Perfection Metal, two of whose bosses have been on trial for a month, have been used in murders and attempted murder related to organized crime in recent years in Montreal and elsewhere. The most famous of these crimes is the assassination of the gang leader Ducarme Joseph killed in 2014. The jurors do not know all these details which can now be revealed since they are sequestered for their deliberations since yesterday.

Alain Charron has already been convicted. He has ties to the 81s, mafia, and West End Gang.

A major cocaine trafficker wants to go to a minimum penitentiary.
A cocaine trafficker linked to the Montreal mafia, who has received the largest drug narcotrafic sentence ever passed in Quebec, wants to be transferred from a medium-security penitentiary to a minimum, to better prepare for his release.

Vincenzo Armeni, 61, was sentenced to 19 years in prison in 2007 for trafficking more than 250 kilograms of cocaine. Since he committed the crime when he was already under a 10-year sentence for another case of trafficking in cocaine dating from 1998, a judge sentenced him to serve the two sentences consecutively - 29 years in total - without being able to apply for parole for ten years.

@ SC, disappointed in you that you had to stoop to name calling. But youre the boss. Feel bad for you too now.

@ Loscalzo, your nonsense about Tampa still holds no weight and Ive been vindicated many times over.
