Compare Frank Arcadi was acting boss, but born in Sant'Agata del Bianco (RC) so it's obvious he has ties to 'ndrangheta. Last edited by Hollander; 05/25/23 08:06 PM.

By now in North America, fentanyls have completely supplanted cocaine. They are very strong drugs and they cost less ,” confesses Nicaso. He adds: « They have synthesized heroin, they are synthesizing cocaine with pink cocaine, they have synthesized cannabinoids with a much higher thc and a lower cost than, for example, that guaranteed in countries where marijuana has been legalized ». It doesn't take much. "It's a new front, just hire an expert who systematically manages to modify the molecular structure and make the substances marketable, at least until they are seized, analyzed and included in the list of prohibited substances". https://www.corrieredellacalabria.i...a-il-porto-punto-daccesso-della-cocaina/ "The king is dead, long live the king!"

Andrew Scoppa had his menu and Vittorio (Victor) Mirarchi had his menu,” the informant said. He later described Mirarchi as being “part of the ‘Ndrangheta.” Mirarchi is not charged in the murder case and is not mentioned in the charges Viau and Dion face." Whether this informant is credible remains to be seen.

Many of them seem to gravitate to Toronto. I don't believe in coincidences, but these frequent visits are further evidence that Calabrian criminal entities/clans from Toronto are possibly involved; as speculated by media reports.

I do believe from a strategic perspective the 'ndrangheta has an interest in Montreal it doesn't mean they order hits there but there are alliances and they probably back the strongest.

Some takeaways for me were that Poletti thinks that Italian OC will look like altar boys in the next seven years or so as Mexican, Colombian, and MS-13 continue growing in Canada. Also mentioned that Frank Cotroni's sister was in charge of the Cotroni led mafia at one point.
