Can someone come up with Rizzuto count murders?

and what time period?
from 2004-???

get ya started for now.

March 25. 2019— Montreal mob enforcer Mike Di Battista is shot to death behind the wheel of his car in the Dominican Republic. Di Battista was tied to mafia chief Liborio (Poncho) Cuntrera.


He was linked to the so-called Silvano cell, linked in turn with the groups Bastone, the Hell’s Angels and De Vito.

Le géant des ordures Ricova sous enquête pour trafic de cocaïne

https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/09/30/geant-des-ordures-sous-enquete-pour-trafic-de-cocaine

Excerpt:

Aux funérailles de Rizzuto

Dans ce même rapport, la SQ fait aussi état de contacts entre un des dirigeants de Ricova et le clan Rizzuto.

Selon nos informations, cet individu dirige notamment la filiale Services Ricova. Cette entreprise a obtenu au moins 150 M$ de contrats publics depuis cinq ans, notamment avec les villes de Montréal, Boucherville et Brossard, ainsi qu’avec des centres de services scolaires et le gouvernement du Québec.

Ce dirigeant est connu de la police pour avoir participé au party privé de l’ancien parrain de la mafia, Nicolo Rizzuto Senior, en 2009.

La police soutient que des individus haut placés du crime organisé de Montréal, de Toronto, des États-Unis, mais aussi d’Italie étaient présents à cet événement.

Man who attacked retired Montreal police detective in his home pleads guilty
Two other men charged in the same case are scheduled to have a trial that begins on Monday.

Dominic Calubriale used a PR newswire firm to issue the press release found here:

Reputation of Dominic Colubriale - Ricova's president reiterates that he has always acted legally
https://prn.to/3fAlt2T

^^^^
I’ve been watching a replay of the French-language J.E TV program — about Colubriale and his company Ricova — that aired Friday at 9:30 pm EDT.

At the 6:45 mark, journalist/host Félix Séguin, who is also narrating, is more specific about the provenance of the American guests at the 2009 private party for Nick Rizzuto Sr.: they are from New York. No other details provided.

Le SPVM est sur les talons de la mafia italienne

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1922506/spvm-arrestation-proche-clan-rizzuto-mafia

interesting...but what a waste of ink.
so 2 people were arrested and no names????
someone close to the rizzutos...well thats pretty generic. is it an actual relative or a member of the mafia?

i cannot understand why canadian media is so hesitant to publish names of arrested criminals. from the article someone was arrested with a large amount of money and .40 cal ammo. both those should be enough to publish a name.

Accused was getaway driver in Montreal Mafia leader Sollecito's murder, jury hears

Why did Scoppa want Giordano and Solicetto killed?

And Massari was supposed to kill one of the brothers so he would be made capo, for Scoppa, than a short while later Massari set up Scoppa, to be KILLED?

What happened there?

And a RAT in C.A. don’t see that all too often.

Ricova poursuit GROUPE TVA et MÉDIA QMI en diffamation et réclame plus de 17 M $

https://prn.to/3VmzSjW

Below is one link to the English version of the press release:

Ricova sues TVA Group and QMI MEDIA for defamation and claims over $17M

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ricova-sues-tva-group-qmi-120900759.html

salvatore scoppa saw giordano and rocco sollecito as threats to his own life.
scoppa knew it was only a matter of time before stefano sollecito got out of prison on bail and wanted to weaken his position by murdering any leadership left on the street. according to andrew scoppa stefano was intent on murdering both scoppa brothers before his arrest and imprisonment in 2015.
rocco sollecito and giordano and then the murder of vincenzo spagnolo which as it turns out was a somewhat botched hit. the intent was to kill nicola spagnolo not the father. it turns out vincenzo was not a leader in current admin for the rizzuto/sollecito faction. but all 3 plus the falduto bros make 5 murders linked direct to salvatore scoppa and his crew.

now as far as massari becoming capo we can right off as a translation issue. massari was not going to become a capo i dont even know if MTL mafia uses this term. massari would have become more like a soldier working under scoppa. regardless its a mute point as he most likely will spend the rest of his life in jail.

the cut throat nature of the mafia in MTL is more surprising. sollecito trying to turn the 2 scoppa bros against each other. mirarchi trying to play all sides. mirarchis play looks to have worked as he is still living....for now.

Are these all one war or different feuds? The violence there is comparable to the 1920's in America during the Chicago wars. It's amazing. Just looking over this thread and how long it is shows that.

What will it take for the mafia up there to say, ok enough, time to move forward. Is there a cooler mind up there that will eventually prevail? Is there anyone who can garner the widespread respect that Vito had?

all of the murders in MTL are NOT related to one single ongoing war...despite the length of this thread.

there have been several overlapping but separate feuds/wars ongoing since 2004 arrest of VITO RIZZUTO.

many of which i have or others have explained in detail on this and other threads on this forum. many of the murders have nothing to do with the dominant wars against the RIZZUTOS. i can go into further detail on this but may take a bit to get all my facts straight.

to the other question about a capable leader up north its possible that person is in place currently. despite the near constant daily gun violence in MTL area very little of it since the murder of the scoppa bros and more importantly andrew scoppa has anything to do with the MAFIA. the majority of these shootings and murders are being committed by street gang members over drug turf,on line rapping feuds and some inter gang fighting. there has been attempts by the police to contact both the MAFIA and HA leaders to stem the violence. however why would the OC leaders in MTL get caught meeting with these low level gangbangers? it could be a trap by police to show links between all these groups or the police belief that these leaders even have the ability to control seemingly un controllable gangs.

i think that LEONARDO RIZZUTO and STEFANO SOLLECITO still hold sway amongst the MAFIA in MTL.

murders/attempts jan.1 2020-
piero arena-murder sept.7 2021,attempt july.22 2021.
davide barberio-attempt sept.21 2021
serafino oliverio-attempt nov.10 2021

there may be other attempts or murders of MAFIA leaders since scoppas murder but i cant find them.
there is a much longer list of murders since oct 2019 but i dont think there is clear evidence yet if any of them are directly related to the MAFIA.

posting this list to show murders related to overall wars against the RIZZUTO CRIME FAMILY (RCF) starting with aug.11 2005 murder of giovanni bertolo. i will use this murder as a start date for first war.

(aug.11 2005-nov.10 2010)

ordered by: francesco arcadi

2.aug.30 2006-domenico macri

committed by:?

Magi was not 'made', correct? That took some balls to clip the bosses son. Why did he think he could get away with that?

I notice you didn't mention Montagna. I thought that I had read that he had a conversation with Vito Sr. pressuring him to step aside. There is very little doubt that he was involved in these hits as well prior to the internal discord with Desjardins.

much like the chicago outfit MTL has no ceremony. i have followed the MAFIA in MTL very closely for a long time read a lot of books and can find no evidence of an initiation ceremony ever taking place. i know all the comments soon to come of being a secret society and how could us civilians ever know the inner workings of a ....blah blah blah. IF said ceremony did exist in MTL since the days of the cotronis or even since the reign of the rizzutos nowhere is there evidence.

with that being said magi in an american sense was not made. magi had long been involved with VITO and NICK JR. in real estate purchases and condo deals.
magi had rung up a large debt to del peschio and JR. and with NICK SR. old recently released from jail and staying off the street magi with the help of ducarme joseph felt able to pull off both. we could assume also that magi arranged these with full knowledge that it would play well with the desjardins/devito/dimaulo alliance. possibly even backed by them.

the extent to which montagna was involved in a lot of these murders is still a subject of debate. there is no doubt that he joined in with desjardins et al at some point.
but was it immediately upon arrival on the scene in MTL in april of 2009? not sure.
even being a former acting boss of the bonannos did not mean much to dug in OC figures in MTL, consider how things ended for him.
in the very good book mafia inc. it is suggested that a meeting did take place with NICK SR. and montagna where SR. was asked to step aside and the old man told him where to go. oh to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.

i think after hitting the streets montagna would have had to take some time to gather a crew around him which he did. the arcuri family,giuseppe renda,antonio pietrantonio,lorenzo lo presti to name the most prominent all joined up with him. but no way that could have happened en masse april 2009. there is no evidence montagna had links into MTL at all prior to being deported. there is a reference to family he had in the MTL area but i cannot find any names to prove. montagna and his small crew did begin to extort pizzo/street tax from some businesses but by doing this began to step on the toes of others in the desjardins group.

after the murder of NICK SR. montagna and desjardins et al began a working alliance that soured and eventually ended with montagnas nov 2011 murder.

2nd war
(oct.6 2012-dec.23 2013)
-time period after VITO RIZZUTO'S release from prison up to his death.
-brief calm period prior to this (nov.11 2010-oct.5 2012) because of most leaders of alliance desjardins,devito were imprisoned. montagna was dead leaving but dimaulo left. devito continued to exert influence from his jail cell back to his crew on the street. any remaining members of a now shattered rizzuto crime family were either imprisoned or in hiding.

2.jan.22 2013-gaetan gosselin

9.dec.18 2013-roger valiquette
allied w/ RCF,tonino callochia,stefano sollecito.
ordered by:VR/s.sollecito
committed by: marco claudio campellone
-most likely committed because of large debts owed to valiquette by both callochia and sollecito.

Vito's revenge tour was the most interesting part of the war, if you can call multiple murders interesting. Callochia was then whacked by the Rizzuto's correct? Why did they turn on him after he did work for their side?
