Does the Bonanno family play a role in the montreal mob war? I read somewhere that Montagna was trying to take control of the Rizzuto organization before he was killed, so was the Bonannos backing him or it was on his own?

Sal vitals testified there was like 20 made guys in that crew I think everyone of them has been murdered.

Some have mentioned yes and some of us no.

I think it was Montagna on his own because he was deported from the U.S. and wasn't coming back. I guess he figured he could take over the Rizzuto faction but he made the mistake of going after Raynald Desjardins after shaking down some Rizzuto joints and actually conspiring to kill Nicolo Rizzuto (and others). That was then his downfall and Desjardins lured him to that meeting that got him killed.

As for those 20 guys I think most are dead now, but the Rizzuto's have relatives trying to keep it going until the bust that got Stefano Sollecito and Leonardo Rizzuto. Nobody seems to know what is going on now with those two in jail, Desjardins in jail, and nobody seems to know what side Frank Arcadi is on either. Still lots of questions it seems.

The Bonannos seem to be too weak to have controlled Montreal, even via a proxy. Rizzuto thought so little of them when Massino was in power he more or less opereated completely on his own.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gambinos have some connections to people in Canada, but the Bonannos just seem too weak.

Yeah, I heard some years ago the Canadians now answer to the Gambinos, however the Bonannos are rebuilding their ranks in recent years.

i BELIEVE that its Toronto that Gambinos had contact with.

i dont think Binos would want to get involved w montreal. especially with the war going on.

I think they purged all american invovlement from montreal. Probaly the 2 organization from italy. Just a show of force killed every lcn member that was there. Now all the recrutis join them.

So the Rizzuto is totally down?

Does any LCN organization exists in Toranto? Or they are contact with the
Calabrians?

siderno of the N'drangheta is in toronto

The Rizzutos also worked with the Gambinos in the past.

Ya but that was only cause the montreal crew worked with the cherry hill brothers and a few other crews pushing the herion in 70tys 80tys. Them days are over the spanish islands have the strangle hold on probaly 90percent of the herion that comes into the northeast.

The mafia in Canada answers to nobody.

Scalish is right,in this file is listed 40 made men under vic cotroni.Cotroni was killed by nick rizzuto that become the defacto head of the family that until George from Canada Sciasciamurder in 1999 had tie with bonannos.
Sal Montagna after deported back in canada tried to take the rizzuto family but only because was in exile and wanted more power.
If in 1965 there was 40 made men don't means that nick sr and vito don't made another people throught the years.

Just repeating what Italian investigations found out years ago that the Gambinos replaced the Bonannos.

So the gambinos are there ? Or only have connections there ?

Montreal Mafia TV series coming to a screen near you in fall 2017

The six-part TV series, starring Anthony LaPaglia as Vito Rizzuto, will be broadcast in fall 2017.

Yeah I watched three episodes and in the show it seems Montagna was behind the murder of Nichole Rizzuto.

I'm watching it with subs.

Of course he was.

He paid the price to looked good on him.

Thanks for that Furio. Looks like it could be good.

Ive made this point before once joe massino was exposed as a rat turncoat in 2005. Everyone that wasnt a made guy in rizzutos crew just rebelled. They were done with his shit. The bonanno family crumbled. If massino shut up and took a life sentence like gotti persico amuso ect. No one would have ever killed his son and that whole shit since. That old mob saying i think vitale said your familys only as strong as the boss. Once massino was exposed all the criminals in montreal rizzuto used to tax or take tribute said fuck him.

Not quite. It was like Joe Bravo put it, when the boss is away the kids will play or some shit like that. Nobody would have been dumb enough to hit Nick Rizzuto if Vito was out and about.

I think the Bonanno Family Today is to weak to play a big role in this Canada Things.

Is Canada still the best entry point for the drug supply? Or has Mexico taken the crown?
