In an exchange I had with James Dubro (@jamesdubro) over on Twitter, he tweeted the following: Yes. There is as you know not 1 Mafia but many. Older Calabr cells Vs new ones with Italy roots a big part of current discord & drug turf 5:48 PM - 1 Sep 2017 https://twitter.com/jamesdubro/status/903736281687101440_________ I think Dubro is reaffirming what he had earlier heard a number of months ago after the murder of Angelo Musitano. His tweet might have been specific to the Hamilton underworld.

Not to nitpick, but that restaurant is in downtown Toronto and not in York region. Also, I don't think the deceased is even Italian (I believe he is Lebanese) and the police have stated he wasn't known to them in any way in terms of OC. I actually know ppl who knew him and they all say he was a gentleman. Very successful in real estate. BUT, his brother was involved in shady things in Thailand and another relative (who is Lebanese) is a former "nightclub king" in Toronto.

Just because the title refers to York region does not mean there will not be a connection in the distant future. If you look at other earlier posts, you will see Sergi was mentioned and he was killed in Etobicoke not York region; but we later found out through news articles that came out showing a connection to York region shootings. I view it as a puzzle. Sometimes pieces may fit and sometimes they do not. Thanks for sharing info on his brother.

A strange minor incident just after 1:00 am EST earlier today (Wednesday). If you tap/click on the link below, you will be redirected so that you can both see the York Regional Police post and the accompanying video. https://www.facebook.com/141554285913036/posts/2055408717860907Read more about the story at the link below. Police release video of suspect in Vaughan residential shooting http://ctv.news/2nc6svO----------- I don't think members of organized crime were targeted; rather, my guess is that members of organized crime were perhaps targeting some wealthy businessperson in this very affluent neighbourhood.

There really isn't an existing thread in which I could have dumped the article to which I've linked a bit farther below. Great interview by Peter Edwards of the Toronto Star. I've linked to a website different from his newspaper's because you'll likely hit a paywall if you try to read the article on the latter.

Thanks for the info.
I guess they still haven't released the identity of the other 40 year old person that was shot and survived. A just-published article--link is below--reveals that Saverio Serrano was the victim. It also indicates that Saverio and Silvio Serrano are in fact Diego Serrano's sons, which I guessed at but was never able to confirm. The murdered Antonio Sergi ("Tony Large") was also apparently investigated in Project OPhoenix, which culminated in 2015 in the arrests of Diego Serrano and Giuseppe "Pino" Ursino, among others. (Carmine Verduci would have been arrested had he not been murdered in April 2014.) Link to article that is currently behind a paywall: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/new...impossible-to-expelthem/article36024206/If you have the "Instapaper Text" bookmark on your notebook/laptop or desktop PC, you should be able to see and save the article. Article to which I've linked below may not be accessible to you because of a paywall. For the subject fraud case, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC)--a regulatory agency--hired Toronto-based criminal lawyer Frank Addario. Addario at one point defended Vittorio Mirarchi in Sal Montagna's murder trial. Years later, Addario would go on to represent Leonardo Rizzuto. Secrecy shrouds fraud case against Canadian Cannabis Corp. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/bus...aud-case-against-canadian-cannabis-corp/Excerpt: In 2017, there were two high-profile murders in Toronto that had ties to Canadian Cannabis Corp. It is not known if either of these incidents have anything to do with the confidential order.
In March of that year, a gunman opened fire on a BMW in a parking lot outside a lighting store owned by Mr. Serrano. The intended target, Mr. Serrano’s brother, Saverio Serrano, was wounded, but his girlfriend, 28-year-old Mila Barberi, was killed. Saverio Serrano is one of the family members who the OSC alleges improperly received investor funds.
Two weeks after Ms. Barberi’s slaying, Tony Sergi, a known Mafia figure and cannabis grower, was executed by gunfire in his driveway in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke. Mr. Sergi had engaged in talks with Canadian Cannabis Corp. about the company possibly acquiring some of his cannabis facilities and had purchased some lighting equipment from the company.

The OSC has also alleged that $45,000 of the investor funds flowed to Silvio Serrano’s father, Diego Serrano, who has been convicted multiple times of drug-trafficking offences. In his compelled interview with the OSC, though, Silvio Serrano distanced himself from his father, explaining that his father hadn’t been present for a large portion of his life.
 However, he acknowledged he acted as a surety for his father when Diego Serrano was arrested in 2015, something he felt compelled to do as his son. “I wasn’t proud of Diego and his history,†he told the investigators.

Antonio Sergi had a facility that was previously a Hells Angel bar in Hamilton. The Hells Angels link to the shooter in the Serrano attempt and Musitano murder, being Cudmore, might link the same group to Sergi. https://nationalpost.com/news/canad...er-post-reveals-link-to-murdered-mobster
