Nice article thanks, Violi probably felt bad to talk in the open and not behind closed doors.

“File information indicates you are an associate/member of an organized crime group (Colombo’s or Bonanno’s crime family of New York City). You and a family member are also affiliated with the Luppino crime family (the Luppino-Violi crime family in Hamilton). Likewise, file information from your first sentence indicates your family has ties to traditional organized crime in Montreal, and your father and two uncles were victims of homicide (1978).”

the continuing revolving door of canada.
sentenced to 18 years i think and he has served less than 6?...meh close enough set em loose.

with both brothers back on street hamilton may continue to get re organized.
i give no credence to colombo connect. perhaps colombos were low in numbers as well as bonannos and these 2 families were options? if wanting to be made into a ny family. best evidence tells us g. violi accepted neither.

if indeed g.violi is not a member of either bonannos or colombos what does this tell us?
1. possible he was arrested before a ceremony could take place.
2. turned down membership?
3. other possible reasons???

From Adrian Humphreys's Dec. 4, 2018 article:

There was debate, according to the informant’s alleged conversations with Violi’s younger brother, Giuseppe (Joe or Joey) Violi, on whether he should be “made” by the Bonanno Family, to which their father belonged, or by Buffalo.

You got Colombo from the article. It says he's a Associate/member of the Colombo or Bonanno Family.

I'll agree it doesn't make much sense since this is just coming out when it was reported years ago he had a choice between the Buffalo and the Bonanno Family and its confirmed in the transcripts. But I'll also say the Colombo Family in Canada isn't something new. Believe me or not but I'm saying I know of some Colombo guys up there.

there is no answer forth coming. the colombos have never put on snow shoes and worked in canada, anywhere at anytime. maybe canadian citizens whose last name is colombo. or a colombo guy once watched an episode of colombo on tv in toronto. no crew, no members no nothing.

i would suggest mafia101 to start a new thread about this as to not derail this one off topic.

Vito I'm not someone who makes anything up. When I speak about something here it's because it's the truth and I'm telling you there is Colombo activity in Canada. No thread is going to be made about it until names come out publicly just like how I never mentioned Louie Rainone being a major player in Cicero until Scott Burnstein wrote about him. I don't know anything about Giuseppe Violi and his possible Colombo affiliation but maybe there is a connection there. 10 years ago no one would of said there were Gambino or Los Angeles members in Ontario and then we learned Albert Iavarone and others were made in Los Angeles. The fact the parole board read from a file Giuseppe Violi is a Associate or member of the Bonanno or Colombo Family reveals there's some knowledge from law enforcement of the Colombo Family being involved up in Canada.

I'm never going to mislead anyone with my posts or fabricate anything like some do here no matter if you agree or disagree with me. That should be painfully obvious for some of you who were in the other thread. I go solely on facts and what we can prove.

Luankaci I'm talking about currently. That's all I'm saying about it here until names come out and to respect Vito's request to not derail this post.

A year before his arrest Dom Violi attended a meeting with Michel Cotroni and about 20 others in a popular Montreal eatery named Linguini restaurant located in Baie d’Urfé. So they still were in contact with Montreal. The restaurant in the west of Montreal was later ravaged by a suspicious fire reports said it was a meeting of mobsters exiled in Ontario, who would try to regain control of Italian organized crime in the metropolis.

its possible it was just a dinner amongst old friends.
possible was a meeting amongst some criminals.
possible a little from column A a little from B.

the cotronis are not still a thing though in montreal. not a crew, cell what have you. no living members have shown any active criminality in over a decade. last reference was from 2006/2008 grandkids of frank sr growing pot for export to US. they served little time was not a big bust.

i know some will disagree on here but the name cotroni carries no weight in current day montreal mafia/OC circles.

yes, the only recent case was when Jimmy Cotroni and Francesco Cotroni found themselves on the opposite ends in a criminal case where the latter is a victim after his younger brother Jimmy torched his home in the Laurentians while it was being renovated.LOL

I see you posted the article Nicodemo has not been mentioned in 20 years he was arrested in 2000.

FWIW, †Pierre de Champlain (buonanima) had described in his books that Frank Cotroni Sr. and Paolo Violi did not have a good relationship, as the former resented the latter. Vic Cotroni overlooked his own brother in favour of Violi when Vic needed to step back from his duties -- in terms of formal mafia affairs, Violi became acting captain of the Bonanno decina. Violi was incredibly competent, whereas Frank was incarcerated much of the time.

Vito would know that there's a thread that ties some of Frank Sr.'s guys in Quebec to the Quebec guys with whom Domenico Violi was collaborating in relation to contraband cigarettes. It could certainly be the case that Paolo Violi's sons and Frank Cotroni Sr.'s sons did not let their fathers' poor relationship affect the decision to have dinner.
