The target was Giuseppe Fetta. Link:http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/inju...l#ixzz2FKi12F4fExcerpt:Man with Mafia links injured in Ahuntsic shooting Giuseppe Fetta, 33, taken to hospital after being shot at about 10:10 a.m. on St. Laurent Blvd.By Anne Sutherland and Paul Cherry, THE GAZETTEDecember 17, 2012 2:02 PM MONTREAL — Police sources have confirmed that the victim of a shooting on St. Laurent Blvd. Monday morning is a man with known ties to the Mafia in Montreal. Giuseppe Fetta, 33, was taken to a hospital after having been shot at around 10:10 a.m. on St. Laurent Blvd. between Sauriol and Fleury Sts. The victim, who was shot at least once, was beside a car when the shooter came up on foot. After firing off the shots, the man ran off. It is not known at this time what the severity of his injuries are, Montreal police Constable Anie Lemieux said. Two police sources confirmed the injured man is Fetta, a man who in the past has been tied to Francesco Del Balso, a young leader in the Mafia currently serving a lengthy prison term after pleading guilty to taking part in several conspiracies investigated during Project Colisée. Fetta was included among the many people arrested in Project Colisée in 2006 but only for a minor offence, relative to the other charges produced by the lengthy investigation....

Yeah Giuseppe Fetta, Charles Battista, Danny Canas were all bodyguards for Del Balso and Giordano. "After Macri's murder, police observed Giuseppe Fetta, Danny Winton, Martinez Canas and Charles Edouard Battista, who police claim are Mafia bodyguards, examining a handgun with a silencer in a warehouse garage on St. Laurent Blvd. At one point, Battista fired a shot into the ground. Battista was seen giving a machine gun to Fetta while he assembled a second machine gun. Fetta was also seen with a 12-gauge shotgun, according to court documents. On Sept. 12, Montreal police seized two AR-15 semi-automatics, a machine gun and a 12-gauge shotgun from the warehouse garage that belonged to Francesco Del Balso."

A good assumption to make is that today's target was loyal to Vito. Ehhhh, paesan was like what? 23 years old when Vito went away? Feel like this is more of a street conflict then anything having to do with Vito.

Feel like this is more of a street conflict then anything having to do with Vito. My second post should have made clearer I was responding to azguy. Fetta has been referred to in newspaper articles as someone who associated with Francesco Del Balso and Francesco Arcadi, among others. Fetta has also been identified as a bodyguard assigned to Arcadi and as one of five bodyguards who, in the early 2000s, were considered to be an elite corps tasked with defending the old Rizzuto-organization leadership: Vito, Nick Sr., Renda, Arcadi, Sollecito. Keep in mind, as well, that Fetta's father appears to have associated with Del Balso and Lorenzo Giordano. RCMP Cpl. Vinicio Sebastiano testified on September 25, 2012, at the Charbonneau inquiry, that Fetta's father had a vehicle in that same garage on St. Laurent Boulevard that housed the arsenal of weapons (along with Giordano's vehicle).

I don't think one can assume Fetta is still loyal to Rizzuto although that maybe the case as they mention in Paul Cherry's article that he had been associating with the Scoppa's in recent months and Daniel Renaud one of the French writer's has insinuated that the Scoppa's are or were aligned with Di Maulo and the Cordeleone side. He has also mentioned the Scoppa's as opposing the Rizzuto's. The Arcadi crew has had conflict with the Scoppa's going back to a kidnapping a few years back also. Tough to say which side Fetta is on. If he is now associating with Scoppa's who seem to be one of the most powerful factions in Montreal right now he maybe considered a traitor by the Rizzuto/Arcadi faction. The Scoppa's Mucsle have been getting picked off one by one over the last few months and this may well be another case of that. The above poster who mentioned this could nothing to do with any mafia war could be correct also as that is Paul Cherry's opinion also in the below podcast: http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2012/12...less-organized/

Sawseech I didn't know that and that completely confuses me and makes me question everything I've been reading. I don't think Loreto has hosted the funeral's of those that have opposed the Rizzuto's although if I remember correctly Frank Cotroni's funeral may have been there but he died of natural causes and he accepted Rizzuto leadership after the Viol's were taken out.
Lorenzo Lopresti's funeral was there also and that is why I questioned those who said he and Antonio "Tony Suzuki" Pietrantonio had turned against the Rizzuto's and sided with Montagna/Arcuri. Pietrantonio was at Nick Sr's funeral also.

Sawseech,
I agree with you that attendance may not say much but after Nick Sr. was taken out it seemed like most had written the Rizzuto's off. Nick Sr.'s family members complained about how few people in mafia circles had attended his funeral. When a boss or someone as influential as him is killed and so few people show thats a message to the family in itself so I thought it showed at least some sort of respect/loyalty that Pietrantonio showed up.
The whole situation is so murky and hard to decipher I thought it was starting to clear up but the Cordleone funeral makes me rethink everything

Uncharacteristically, I almost verged on asserting that Fetta was a Rizzuto loyalist. I'm not sure why I did that when I consider how cautious I am about jumping to conclusions. For example, I don't think there's enough evidence to suggest Vito was behind Di Maulo's murder. Some analyses by organized-crime reporters of events in the Montreal Mafia over the last three years have proven to be flawed. Even seasoned journalists like Daniel Renaud have drawn inaccurate sketches of the landscape in Montreal's Italian underworld.

Heres another newer article that suggests Fetta was now part of a group headed by Giuseppe De Vito who this article and others suggest is openly against the Rizzutos. http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/quebec...r-les-fetes.php The attempted murder of the gangster Giuseppe Fetta yesterday could herald eventful holiday in Montreal. This is at least what has been entrusted to La Presse police sources, judicial and criminal environment, which point out that the eldest son of Vito Rizzuto, son Nick, was shot dead on December 28, in broad daylight in the street . "In the middle, we hear that many people will receive a Christmas gift," a source told us who frequents Italian coffees. "The holiday season may be hot," added a lawyer, which is based on the murder and attempted murder that shook the mafia repeatedly since the release from prison of the fallen godfather Vito Rizzuto, October 5 - and especially since the killing of the influential mafioso Joe Di Maulo, November 4 at Blainville. Since the murder, Italian organized crime was hit by three other murders and two attempted murders, including those committed against Giuseppe Fetta yesterday. Tony Gensale, 43, Mohamed Awada, 47, and Emilio Cordileone, 50, were killed, as well as a tug Giuseppe Fetta have meanwhile been victims of attempted murder, all in the same area of ​​northern Montreal, by the very hot days. Although these crimes are perhaps not the same mobile, they all seem to have the same thread: instability in the criminal environment caused by the absence of a leader in the saddle. According to our sources, some take advantage of this instability for settling scores, revenge or doing housework. Alliances are, others undone. Negotiations are underway. While some people out of the shadows and become confident, others fear for their lives and abandon their activities soon adopted by other, creating friction. With ponytail The attempted murder yesterday against Giuseppe Fetta is a new headache for the police, who do not always see light in this time of great instability. Fetta out of his vehicle when he was riddled with bullets, boulevard Saint-Laurent, near the street Sauriol. He was conscious when he was taken to hospital, where doctors were able to stabilize his condition. In the early 2000s, Fetta was part of a group of thugs and mafia frequented assiduously Consenza, headquarters of the Sicilians, Jarry and coffee Laennec in Laval. He was the driver and bodyguard Lorenzo Giordano, Lieutenant of the Rizzuto clan convicted following Operation Coliseum - and still held. Fetta, which was filmed with acolytes being tested for semi-automatic weapons in a garage during the investigation Colosseum, was charged with possession of a weapon and gangsterism. According to our sources, Fetta have taken up the ranks in recent years and would have joined the formidable chieftain Giuseppe De Vito. The latter, called ponytail, was arrested in October 2010, after a mare four years. According to court documents, De Vito would lead his own group and now is at loggerheads with members of the Rizzuto clan. Sources also provides a link between the attempted murder suffered by Fetta and murder of another man's hand with the mafia which he worked, Ennio Bruni was killed when he went out for coffee Bellerose in Laval in September 2010. Fetta is a hard drive. In 2008, he was attacked by three men while he was talking on the phone at the Montreal Detention Centre (Bordeaux). He made his escape three attackers. One of them had to start from the top of the second floor, and suffered a compound fracture. Fetta and others of his followers were present at the bar Upperclub the evening of 24 October 2006, when two members of street gangs, Jean-Patrick Fleury and Vladimir Nicolas, were killed and thrown into the fire escape at the rear establishment. It was also at Moomba in Laval when a rising star of the Mafia, Mike Lapolla, was killed in March 2005. Fetta was a business owner who was the housekeeping of Moomba, it was learned before the Régie des alcohols, des courses et des jeux in February.

Some analyses by organized-crime reporters of events in the Montreal Mafia over the last three years have proven to be flawed. Could you name an example? I don' t think the article connecting Fetta to Ponytail was out when this was posted. Earlier reports only went as far as indicating that he was Giordano's bodyguard, connecting him to Vito and presuming he was loyal. The new connection to Ponytail now makes sense. In other words, who's next..
Not just getting my stripes, something I can't talk about. Something that was ruining my whole life and he made it right. For what I owe him, I would follow that man into hell.

It appears De Vito was behind arsons on Arcuri's and not the Rizzutos. http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/quebec...ppe-de-vito.phpMen of the mafia Giuseppe De Vito profileraient behind the wave of arson that targeted companies Arcuri brothers this fall. This tends to confirm, on the one hand, the importance of the place now occupied by the young chieftain on the board of the mafia and, secondly, the fact that there are several clans that currently tearing Montreal. Investigators organized crime division of the Police Department of the City of Montreal made yesterday another operation against a drug trafficking network of the Mafia. But beyond the balance of it, this is how the police were on the trail network that speaks volumes. Investigating fires that struck the brothers Domenico and businesses Antonino Arcuri earlier this fall, they targeted an individual that led to addresses associated with Giuseppe De Vito, aka Ponytail. The same person directed them to a network of traffickers and the police raided four buildings, including the former residence now unoccupied Giuseppe De Vito, rue de Laval Warrant. They arrested three people and seized a firearm, $ 10,000 in cash, cocaine and marijuana. The three suspects in the thirties and sixties, are expected to appear this afternoon at the courthouse in Montreal. Other searches and arrests could follow. De Vito, 46, is currently serving a sentence of 15 years in prison for conspiracy to import cocaine at the airport in Montreal. Sought after Operation Coliseum in November 2006, he was arrested four years later. During the run, his two daughters were murdered in the house of the street Warrant, his former wife, Adele Sorella, is accused of the crime. This drama has exacerbated anger De Vito, who was tattooed the names of his two daughters and keeps the cell members of the Rizzuto clan responsible for their death. According to court documents prepared by police, De Vito is at loggerheads with the Sicilian clan and would even put a contract on the head of one of their members. He would direct his own clan and would become one of the most important players of the Mafia in Montreal.

Another murder at a building owned by Giuseppe De Vito. http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/quebec...int-leonard.phpOne man died and another was injured when they were fired bullets to the head in a café Saint-Léonard borough located in a building owned by Adele Sorella, the wife of mafia Giuseppe De Vito. "Towards 14:20, we received a 911 call indicating that shots were fired in a cafe on the Boulevard Provencher. When we arrived there, we found a wounded man outside and another inside, "says Jean-Pierre Brabant agent, spokesman SPVM. According to our information, the shooter swarthy with a cap and a hood which hid the lower face broke-in coffee Domenica, in 7830 Provencher, to fire on a man aged 35 years, who had received shot in the neck. His death was confirmed at the hospital, said a representative of Health Emergencies. The other, aged in his forties, was also wounded in the head, but was out of Domenica in and run into a repair of motorcycles when he asked for help. The gunman fled after a rare thing in this type of attack, leaving a long gun at the scene of the crime, according to our sources. The Domenica-in is not an address known to the police in the neighborhood who are never reached so far. Its two owners, of Italian origin, have no criminal record. For cons, the small commercial building that also houses a butcher and a garage automotive belongs to a numbered company whose majority shareholder Adele Sorella. The latter is accused of murdering his two daughters committed eight and nine in 2009, but it is also the wife of Giuseppe "ponytail" De Vito. Ponytail, so called because of his haircut is a notorious mobster arrested after a fugitive for several years after the operation Colosseum, which was as well as several leaders of the mafia. He is serving a long prison sentence, but many experts believe it could still play a role in the escalation of violence that the criminal Italian past few months. Murder and attempted murder have been many in recent weeks in the mafia. Many observers, both policemen in the middle, expect a warm holiday season. This attack is the first demonstration it? It is still too early to tell, SPVM investigators are on site to begin their investigation.

As for the permission from the Bonanano's for Nick Sr, If Montagna was involved which I agree is likely he may have asked for permission from the Bonanno but I don't think anyone else in Montreal cares about the Bonanno's. The Bonanno's are or were in Disarray in New York at that time and with massive number of rats coming from that family I can't see many outsiders wanting to risk be involved with them.
I personally don't think the Bonanno's have any influence in Montreal anymore. Montagna gave it a last ditch effort but was whacked by a french guy with seemingly no retaliation. I think that shows how little respect he garnered in Montreal. If the Bonnano's are still involved in Montreal I think police would have an idea as that family is Rat central.
There was no retaliation, because a. Desjardins was in hiding, and b. he was arrested about one a week later. Also, when someone in the Mafia is killed without permission, inquiries are to be made first to find out who the perpetrators are. There were reports that in the week before the attempt on his life, Desjardins was seen traveling to New York. And when he was arrested, the Bonanno family had apparantly put out a contract on him. One of the likely reasons Nick Sr. was killed was because of his lack of respect for the Bonanno family in New York. Seasoned journalists like André Noël and André Cedilot or James Dubro still believe the Bonanno family has influence in Montreal. And when Rizzuto was released and returned to Canada, there were reports coming from LE that he met with New York emissaries. There is also substantial evidence that the Gambino family had businesses in Ontario in the 2000s.

I disagree that the Bonanno's have any sort of influence since Montagna was killed. I have read that about Desjardins visiting New York at that time though.
If you can link me to any place where Noel or Cedilot indicate the Bonnano's having any sort of influence at all in Montreal after Montagna then I have an open mind. Dubro is not source of any credibility.
Joe Renda another American member of the Bonanno's and ally of Montagna was last seen with a member of the Cun-trera family and has not been spotted since and once again no retaliation.
It's hardly unheard of people getting killed in canadian prison so if the Bonanno's still had the kind of reach into Canada as people seem to think getting at Desjardins would not be much more difficult than hitting him on the street. If Suburban gangs in Vancouver can hire Native Indian gangs to take out their enemies in prison than one would think the Bonanno's could too.
I also saw about Vito meeting with people from New York but we don't know what said I think it's just as likely they were telling him that they had nothing to do with Montagna for fear of retaliation as it was them trying to tell Vito what he can and can't do.
And with the way things are going in Montreal now I think all rules have gone out the window and I don't think anyone is asking permission anymore anything goes in war.
