This year, there has been an uptick in the number of individuals shooting at or into homes (including condominiums) in York Region--specifically in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, and Aurora. All of these cities and towns have affluent neighbourhoods, more or less. A double shooting yesterday at an industrial-park parking lot in Woodbridge, in Vaughan, has left one woman dead and an accompanying male suffering injuries that are not life threatening. The most detailed article I've seen online so far about this incident will be found at http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/719...ridge-shooting/The natural tendency these days is to assume the double shooting yesterday has an organized-crime angle to it because of where it happened (Woodbridge is one of three Little Italies that the Toronto area boasts and is home to members of the 'ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, and Camorra) and the Italian surname of the identified victim (Barberi). A quick Google search of the company named in the article reveals a staff consisting mostly of Italian-Canadians.

^^^^ I couldn't find any in the last few days. I think Serrano has only one son, Francesco. And then there's the adopted son, Cleavon Springer ( http://www.facebook.com/cleavon.springer).

The violence is getting ridiculous in the Greater Toronto Area. I fear that this latest shooting in Woodbridge (Vaughan) is tied to the Siderno Group. "One man critically hurt after shooting in Vaughan" http://cp24.to/2vUtUAi Sad for the families, but a good thing for law enforcement.

Victim has been identified as Domenico Triumbari.
Curious to know whether the contiguity with yesterday's murder of Antonio Sergi in Toronto means something or absolutely nothing. But those are storied surnames. Does he have any relation to Salvatore Triumbari for member of the camera di controllo. Ciment, we'll find an answer at some point. The reality is that Sammy Triumbari was murdered in 1967, and then for the longest time we don't hear or read of someone with that surname being involved in organized crime in the Toronto area. Same thing after Domenico Racco was killed in 1983--and he was Mike Racco's son!--with the difference being that, since then, I've never heard or read that surname again in relation to the Canadian 'ndrangheta. But people with the surnames Sergi, Triumbari, and Racco are very much still entrenched in the 'ndrangheta in Calabria and elsewhere.

Italian authorities say another wanted man, Cosimo Triumbari, 56, fled Siderno in 1988, after surviving a shotgun blast to his arm from a local mafioso. The Italians say they have issued warrants against him for extortion, loansharking, money laundering and Mafia conspiracy.
Triumbari deferred questions to his son, saying his English wasn't strong.
Told of the charges, Tony Triumbari said his father isn't hiding anywhere, and can be found daily behind the counter of his family restaurant in an industrial section of Woodbridge.
"I think you've got the wrong information, my friend," Tony Triumbari said, adding that it's odd to think of his father as a fugitive since he hasn't changed his name or gone into hiding.
"He wouldn't be here," Tony Triumbari said, gesturing to his father serving customers in Lanterna Ristorante on Edgeley Blvd. in Concord, which specializes in wood-oven pizza.
Tony Triumbari said his father hasn't been in Italy for 18 years.
Like Cosimo Triumbari, none of the alleged fugitives have tried to conceal their identities.

One more, but it's from a digital newspaper clipping; so I've typed out the last two paragraphs (below). I was unable to find related articles; so I don't want to speculate that the individuals named below were tied to the GTA Siderno Group. The Cosimo Triumbari mentioned below is probably not the Cosimo Triumbari named in the 2006 article in my previous post.
Angelo Triumbari, 30, of Dovehaven Court has been charged with breaking and entering and theft, possession of of heroin for the purpose of trafficking and possession of stolen goods.
Cosimo Triumbari, 33, also of Dovehaven Court, has been charged with possession of of heroin for the purpose of trafficking and possession of dangerous weapons.

One of my Twitter followers hinted that last night's murder victim Domenic(o) Triumbari owned a bottling plant--I think he was referring to the company with website http://www.triumbari.com/.Salvatore (Sammy) Triumbari had been the president of Cynar Dry Co. Ltd., a soft-drink bottling company, before he was killed. After he died, his brother Giuseppe (Joseph) took over. So there is a very real possibility the company not only stayed in the family but also later diversified. There could be a relationship between Sammy and Domenic Triumbari.

Curious to know whether the contiguity with yesterday's murder of Antonio Sergi in Toronto means something or absolutely nothing. But those are storied surnames. I don't believe in coincidence. I assume Sergi is from Platì and Triumbari from Siderno. I'm not sure whether you're implying that there was tension between the two victims--and between any Calabrian crime cells with which each victim was associated--because they and the groups have ancestry from different comuni in Calabria. If I've misinterpreted what you've written, please correct me. You and others could very well be right about the two murders in one day not being a coincidence, just as you and others could very well be right about the second murder being an act of retaliation for the first. There are so many scenarios, though, and we don't definitively know whether these two victims were inducted into the 'ndrangheta or were Siderno Group associates. Law enforcement is looking at past murders, attempted murders, and arsons/firebombings in Woodbridge (Vaughan) and Toronto from at least five years ago, not just the two murders this past Friday. The recent double shooting in Woodbridge on Tuesday, March 14, is especially being examined; as Ciment wrote, Sergi's murder could be tied to that double shooting in which the young woman was accidentally killed. The problem for law enforcement is that contiguity in murder cases, while always needing to be examined, either yields instant results or leads nowhere. Add to this the fact that, in order to throw homicide detectives off the scent, criminals exploit the opportunity to kill someone in proximity to a recent murder to make law enforcement think the two murders are closely tied. If Sergi and Triumbari belonged to the same cell, 'ndrina, crew, etc., let's not dismiss the scenario that these two were picked off by a common enemy. Then we have to determine whether the enemy is from within the Siderno Group itself, i.e., there has been internal friction. Finally, because many members of Italian organized-crime groups don't believe in a statute of limitations for revenge murders, we can't dismiss a vendetta as being behind certain murders. While I don't think this is the reason behind the Sergi and Triumbari murders, I can't rule it out because I don't know why revenge might have been sought. At first I didn't think Domenic Triumbari was any relation to Salvatore Triumbari, murdered in 1967, but I know now I could very well be wrong--who knows whether there has always been some underlying beef or thirst for revenge?

The Rizzutos are a shadow of its former self, the murder of Rocco Sollicito showed that, how would they make a move in the GTA? I am not the one that said that. I should have replied to Sonny, where he was talking about that article. I think media are only speculating just like we do.

I did post the following article earlier. http://www.torontosun.com/2017/07/03/recent-mob-violence-a-drug-warI believe that is the article Sonny was referring to. Which can very well be a possibility. By partnering with other groups the Rizzuto clan can mount an attack.

The Rizzutos are a shadow of its former self, the murder of Rocco Sollicito showed that, how would they make a move in the GTA? Sollecito could've been killed by anyone. Surely the Rizzuto organization has lost some of their grip, but they are still capable to hit back. They've catched a break when the Scoppa group was busted. I wouldn't rule out that they'll come back out on top.

Restructuring seems the most likely to me. There is also a theory suggested by a recent article about gangs that are alinged with the Rizzuto-Sollecito making their presence known. Do we know whether the target today is linked to Montreal? As far as I know there is no mention yet to suggest whether it is linked or not. Sonny_Black: I don't know of any ties that the restaurant has to any organized-crime group or activity. The chef-owner of this restaurant used to be the chef at Match Bar and Grill, also in Woodbridge (Vaughan)--this is information that anyone could find using Google. Match closed down several years ago even though business was quite good for a good chunk of time. It had several investors, but I'm not sure the chef had ownership back then.

I was responding to your question back on July 11 about whether the restaurant where there was a shooting was linked to Montreal. It's my fault that I took so long to answer your question, but you'll see from one of my posts today in another thread that I also have taken a long time to answer another poster's question.

The chef at the restaurant where the shooting took place is one of the owners. He has co-owned several restaurants with a particular individual, including the restaurant in question. This individual is a Commisso, but that's the only information I have for now--this person may not be related to anyone in the Commisso crime group. Vito Rizzuto's wife's cousin in the GTA knows both of these co-owners (there may be more than two). Stay tuned.

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/news/nat...rticle36024206/If you have the "Instapaper Text" bookmark on your notebook/laptop or desktop PC, you should be able to see and save the article.

Thanks again... I figured they were probably related somehow. To be honest, I was leaning toward Silvio and Saverio not being Diego's sons. An article from 2000 about one of Diego's bail hearings mentioned his wife (Connie) and two young sons, all of whom were in court. I assumed one of these sons was Francesco, who is 33 or 34 now, and now I realize he very well might have been there that day. However, when I saw Silvio's and Saverio's names on the staff directory of that lighting company the day of the murder back in March, I then wrongly assumed that neither was one of Diego's two sons because Francesco's name wasn't listed. When I later found a cannabis magazine article that indicated Silvio and Saverio were brothers, I was fairly sure they were not Diego's sons. Again, I wasn't able to find the information I needed to confirm or disconfirm.

Based on what the neighbours told the reporter about the approximate age of the couple living there, the residence may belong to Paolo Cun trera. The DOB for Paolo Cun trera that I have seen in various places is December 16, 1939. He would be 77 now. He would turn 78 later this year. Paolo is the father of Giuseppe "Little Joe" Cun trera and the uncle of Giuseppe "Big Joe" Cun trera (who is a cousin to Alfonso Caruana). The Cun-treras in Woodbridge, just north of Toronto, are under attack. Why?

The possibilities are many.... bikers, MTL mafia,Ndrangheta clan, Wolfpack gangs.

The possibilities are many.... bikers, MTL mafia,Ndrangheta clan, Wolfpack gangs. probably the ndrangheta, i think that the caruana-c untrera's ordered the murderes of several calabrians (calautti, verduci, sergi, triumbari) to revenge agostino c untrera, there is probably a war between the siderno group and the caruana-c untrera's

Is that book "Bloodlines" by Lamothe and Nicaso any good? It covers the C.untera-Caruana gang.
Also, is Alfonso Caruana getting out soon or did he end up getting extradited to Italy?

When Verduci was killed it was reported that there were two Ndrangheta clans that were having a fall out. It was alleged that one of them had close ties with the Cun-trera/Caruana clan.

That would be the Aquino-Coluccio clan. This article is dated prior to the Verduci killing. "When police arrested Mafia fugitive Giuseppe Coluccio in the GTA in 2005, they noted he had ties to the [BadWord] crime family, according to Italian court documents." https://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2010/06/30/gta_flavour_to_montreal_mob_doublemurder.html

That would be the Aquino-Coluccio clan. Yes. There is also more information of their ties/alliance mentioned in the book Business or Blood page 117.

I wouldn't rule out an internal feud, like we see in Montreal. But the stakes in Ontario are much higher there are the investments. If there is an internal war coupled with Peter Edwards theory that the Rizzuto's have formed an alliance with the Wolfpack gang. We may see a protracted war because both sides are well funded. The Rizzutos and Cun treras could be on the same side.

It is still too early to tell and based on speculation that these theories hold true it would explain many of the incidences that have been happening but again it is just speculation at this time.

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
