Still amazes me..

"Italian State Police Director Fausto Lamparelli, who was at the Ontario press conference, said via a translator the Figliomeni Crime Family must have been significant as it was able to operate its crimes without asking permission from Italy.

“This is something we have never seen in Italy,” said Lamparelli.

Interesting he mentions the name of an associate of these York Calabrians who was killed in 2013 and was suspected in the slaying of Nick Rizzuto Sr. So maybe the Calabrians were involved with Reynald and Sal the Ironworker to takeover Montreal after all? (not to derail the thread lol)

Yes.

These two articles talk about the Olivetti/Rizzuto link

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/new...pal-garbage-bin-provider/article1010353/

https://nationalpost.com/news/canad...-owned-firm-that-won-municipal-contracts


Oliveti was also captured on Italian wiretaps about 10 years ago, in which he was talking to mobsters noted in the story linked below.

https://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2010/12/19/lawyer_insists_client_not_a_mobster.html

The story about the wiretaps also notes the following (relevance to the Figliomeni clan)

Quote
In addition to Oliveti, six other GTA men were named in the warrants, including; brothers Angelo Figliomeni, 48, and Cosimo Figliomeni, 45; cousin Tito Figliomeni, 41; Francesco Commisso, 62; Vincenzo Figliomeni, 64; and Domenico Giorgini, 45.

I'm expecting more charges in this case...

Just the casino laundering aspect of it required more bodies and the charity that was being run by Oliveti needed more people to make the scheme function.

Also, seems like Vito Sili was their card player (there's a Vito Sili from Canada registered in the professional poker player database .. minimal winnings but he could have registered to make himself seem legit. I can't imagine he was making the daily cash runs to the Casino alone or playing alone)

From the article below ..

In addition to that, Vito Sili and Salvatore Oliveti among others were cuffed for the subsequent money laundering taking place at casino locations.

Another bail review is scheduled this morning for these four.

A bail review / show cause hearing was scheduled this past Monday for Giuseppe Ciurleo.

The 'ndrangheta axis between Canada and Siderno, closed investigations for 20 people: names and photos
by Rocco Muscari - 11 November 2019

The magistrates of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Reggio Calabria have closed the investigation against twenty people involved, in various ways, in the maxi-operation called "Canadian 'Ndrangheta Connection" . For eight other people, most of whom are subjects who are abroad and in particular in Canada, the Dda proceeds separately.

The anti-mafia prosecutor's office disputes a series of crimes ranging from participation in a mafia association, to the fictitious entry of assets, to crimes concerning weapons and more.

The articulated and delicate investigation made use of the work of the Sco's investigators and the Anti-Crime Service of the Reggio Calabria Police Headquarters, which focused on what was happening in Siderno in the immediacy of the murder of Carmelo Muià , known as Mino , killed on the evening of 18 January 2018 in the Ionian town.

These are the names of the 20 suspects : Michelangelo Archinà; Domenico Cerisano; Emanuela Figliomeni; Teresa Figliomeni; Bruno Filippone; Francesco Filippone; Cosimo Futia called "Shuster"; Antonio Galea; Marilena Gravina; Giuseppe Gregoraci called "Pino"; Pietro Ieraci; Giuseppe Macrì; Antonio Mamone; Armando Muià; Giuseppe Muià; Vincenzo Muià (cl. 72); Vincenzo Muià (cl. 68); Vincenzo Muià known as "the fontaniere" (October 1969); Vincenzo Muià (November 1969); Santo Rumbo.

Mafia boss with ties to GTA arrests found dead in prison cell, Italian media reports - Peter Edwards

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/20...s-found-dead-in-italian-prison-cell.html

Quote
Giuseppe (Pino) Gregoraci, 51, of Siderno, Italy, was found dead in his cell last week, according to a report in the Italian newspaper il Quotidiano del Sud. Gregoraci had hanged himself, and was dead by the time first aid workers at Voghera prison in the Lombardy region, the newspaper reported.
Italian police said Gregoraci was a lieutenant under Giuseppe (The Master) Commisso in the ’Ndrangheta — or Calabrian Mafia — and had tight ties to the GTA.

Gregoraci visited the Toronto area last spring, looking for clues on the murder of his cousin Carmelo (Mino) Muia, who was shot dead in Siderno on Jan. 18, 2018, police said.

looking over articles of sindacato arrests and subsequent london ontario illegal gambling bust dec,2019 in which the 2 were joined the links to the H.A. go back to the large 2013 platinum sb arrests.
i have always read that moreno gallo had control of the MTL 'book' before his 2012 deportation and then 2013 murder.at some point after getting released from prison the Rizzuto faction took back control of the gambling in MTL/'the book'.Vito had long standing connections to london ontario H.A. members and as i mentioned above had retaken ctrl of gambling.
i guess what i'm driving at is it possible that the Rizzuto Faction of MTL mafia have an alliance with the figliomeni faction of the siderno group.
the figliomeni bros were thought to be responsible for the murder of carmine verduci over gambling territory.verduci was also thought to be part of the GTA 'ndrangheta that was backing the desjardins/devito/montagna group for ctrl of MTL mafia(2009-2011).the hit on verduci could have served 2 purposes for both groups revenge and take over of territory.
it could at least show that the figliomeni bros. were not part of group backing desjardins et al. 2009-2011.

Most likely the alliance would of been struck in Southern Italy via lodges/masonry, or at least via Southern Italians that ascribe to those beliefs.

Rizzuto are West Coast Sicily, specifically Agrigento, there was a high concentration of West Coast Sicilians that immigrated into Hamilton specifically, from Agrigento in the early 1900’s.

There were Figliomeni that were either using the last name Ross or Romeo, two brothers Frank and Mike, that were Rocco Perri/Railway Street. As well, as many Sicilians from Agrigento, specifically Racalmuto, which is a sister city of Hamilton via the United Nations. Bordinaro , Agro, Speziale, Sylvestro/Silverstri are a couple names, I’m capable of recalling.

These Sigs from Agrigento, were instrumental in ratifying CN in 1931, tied to the other side via the Church and Masonry. When the original 5 families were created, it included all Southern Italians, not just Sigs.

So a thread between the Figliomeni and West Coast Sigs from Agrigento, like Rizzuto, could have been in place for over a 100 years in Canada, through the other side of the Atlantic. If a deal was struck, this could be a thread that was used.
