A Mafia Acquittal Is the Latest L for Quebec Law Enforcement

A New Book on OC in Montreal....


Pierre de Champlain is one of Canada’s foremost experts on organized crime. As an intelligence analyst for the RCMP he got an up close and personal look at gangsters and crimes. As an author he shared his knowledge with readers around the world. On February 26, his new book about the history of organized crime in Montreal will hit stores.
By Pierre de Champlain

The release of Histoire du crime organisé à Montréal de 1900 à 1980 (it is printed in French - English prints will soon follow) comes ten years after the release of my book Mobsters, Gangsters and Men of Honour which detailed the Mafia’s codes, structure, and behavior.

This new book reveals that organized crime activities such as drug trafficking, prostitution and gambling were almost out of control in the early 20th century in Montreal, where corruption was “a way of life” among city police and politicians. It also covers the activities of the Black Hand, a criminal organization which was not only active in New York and Chicago but in Montréal and Toronto as well.

It contains new information about Tony Frank, a mobster born in Catania, Sicily, who emigrated in Montréal in the 1900's. He was a very influential mafia boss who had solid ties to some of the members of the Morality Squad of the Montreal police. There was also Harry Davis, a gangster born from Russian Jewish parents, who in the mid-1920s became an important drug trafficker, and who was finally arrested by the RCMP in 1933.

Organized crime in Montreal was predominantly ruled by Jewish gangsters who migrated to the US and Canada in large masses at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Italian mob became a force only in the mid-1950s, when Carmine Galante and his cohorts set foot on Canadian soil in the early 1950's and took over Montréal rackets, namely major drug operations.

The book focuses in great part on the life and career of the Cotroni brothers, and in particular that one of Vincenzo, who ruled Montréal rackets from the mid-1950's until the 1980s. Thanks to the Access to Information Act, and to National Archives in Ottawa, which enabled me to get genuine information on the origins of the Cotronis in 1925, and other well-known Canadian major crime figures.

And

Jewish Gangsters

Until the arrival of New York’s Cosa Nostra in Montreal in the early 1950s, gambling and underworld crime were locally-run, and from the 1920s until the 50s, many Jews were actively involved in these illicit enterprises.

Max Shapiro came to Montreal from Poland in the 1920s and ran one of the most successful gambling houses in the city. Eventually, with partners, he opened the famous Ruby Foo’s hotel and restaurant.

Harry Feldman, of New York, owned a three-storey building on Bleury and Ste-Catherine, where the ground floor housed a legitimate business, but the upper floors were dedicated to bookmaking. Unlike his contemporaries, he lived quietly and did not get involved in the drug trade.
He was a part owner of many significant establishments, including Chez Parée, and was known as a good family man. In fact, over the course of his 14-year career, he was never apprehended and his organizational skills were even praised by the chief of Montreal police at the time, Pacifique Plante.

Harry Davis of Romania was another prominent local gambler, responsible for the first underworld killing in Montreal. In 1935, he had Charles Feigenbaum—a police informant whose testimony had resulted in Davis’ 14-year sentence for smuggling morphine—murdered on Esplanade across from Fletcher’s Field.
After several years in jail, Davis returned to the city in the mid-1940s and regained his title as gambling Tsar, controlling who could open gambling venues in the Red Light District and taking 20% from each. His rule came to an end on July 25, 1946, when he was shot to death in his gambling house at 1244 Stanley Street. He was killed by Louis Bercowitz, who did not receive Davis’s permission to open his own gambling establishment. Davis’s death permitted Harry Ship to dominate the gambling trade until his mistakes brought the New York Cosa Nostra to Montreal, engendering a new era of organized crime.

Harry Ship, called the King of the Montreal Gamblers, was a major bookmaker and operator of illegal casinos all over Montreal. Born in 1915, Ship studied mathematics at Queen’s University. Although he did not graduate, he excelled in his studies and was highly respected among his peers.
He returned to Montreal in 1940, where he established a series of “white houses” along Ste-Catherine Street. Each house contained five telephone lines, blackboards and operators’ headsets, so bookies could take bets and write them up simultaneously. Business was so brisk that the apartments were often subdivided into halves and quarters to be able to house all the bookmakers. He also operated illegal casinos in Lachine, Greenfield Park, and on a farm in Côte St. Luc. Ship admitted that he made $1M annually, from 1940 to 1946 (equivalent: $15M today).

Although he lived lavishly, including owning a mansion in Outremont and the Chez Parée nightclub, which featured acts such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, his operations were frequently raided and he paid huge sums of money to the local police. Eventually, he was arrested and sentenced to six months in jail.

Perhaps Ship’s legacy to Montreal is the introduction of New York’s Cosa Nostra into the city.
It seems that Ship owed money to Frank Erikson, the wealthiest bookie on the East Coast, whose silent partners included Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello and Lucky Luciano. Due to his indebtedness, Ship was forced to accept the interference of the New York families in the early 1950s, which resulted in the Montreal underworld being controlled from New York, and the city becoming an important center for bookmaking and heroin smuggling.
Little is known about Ship after this period, except that his is buried in the only family circle at the Baron De Hirsch Cemetery in Montreal and he, like so many other iconic figures, is immortalized in Mordecai Richler’s novel, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.
Ship’s legacy in the Jewish community was immortalized in Mordecai Richler’s novel, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Richler’s character, “The Boy Wonder,” was based on Ship, who went by the same nickname. Died 1998.

Older Story 1997, still relevant.



Montreal daily assailed for Jewish mob-member focus

By J. Correspondent | June 6, 1997

MONTREAL — Canadian Jewish groups are demanding an apology from a French Montreal daily for a story they claim is anti-Semitic.

The article focused on Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrests of Jewish members of a criminal organization.
The story in the newspaper La Presse ran Wednesday of last week under the headline, "RCMP Strike a Deadly Blow to a Jewish Criminal Organization."
It described a criminal group led by Montrealers with Jewish-sounding last names.
These men, Morris Mayers and Shimon Ben-David, were charged along with Mahmood Hassan and Thomas McKinnon, but La Presse focused on the Jewish identity of the organization.

Seven of the group's 31 members, also suspected of smuggling drugs, are said to be Jewish.
Both Canadian Jewish Congress and B'nai B'rith Canada expressed their outrage at the La Presse coverage, which also alleged links between Jews and the Mafia.
The newspaper also ran a separate article about infamous American Jewish organized crime leaders Meyer Lansky and "Bugsy" Siegel.

"The religious background of a number of the individuals apprehended has no relevance nor relationship to the criminal acts and the identification of the group as such casts a very negative shadow over Quebec's Jewish community," said Steve Slimovitch, legal committee chairman of the BBC League for Human Rights.
"It unjustly nourishes intolerant stereotypes."
The league sent a letter to Claude Masson, La Presse's assistant publisher, demanding a published apology.
Mike Cohen, CJC's national communications director, said that his organization's leadership would meet with Masson to explain its position on the issue.

CJC also issued a written statement expressing its outrage.
But Masson defended his paper's coverage.
"I think we're playing with words a bit," he was quoted as saying. "I think we should be careful about being so politically correct that we can no longer say what is happening in our society."

Masson did say he would reserve judgment until meeting with representatives of Jewish groups.
But he pointed out that the leaders of the criminal group have been identified as Jewish by the RCMP, which stated that the main leaders have Jewish or Israeli connections.
Fo Niemi, executive director of the Center for Research Action on Race Relations, said the story "shows a tremendous lack of sensitivity. It essentially turns a crime issue into an issue of ethnicity."

According to some of the newspaper's critics, the story about Lansky and Siegel appeared to add insult to injury.
Jeffrey Boro, a lawyer for one of those arrested (who was later released), said the newspaper "had to go back 40 years to find a notorious Jewish criminal, which gives you an idea of how criminalized our population is."
Regarding the second story on infamous Jewish mobsters, Masson admitted, "Perhaps we went too far there."

CJC Quebec region chair Reisa Teitelbaum said La Presse's coverage was simply unacceptable.
"Criminals are criminals. It is despicable that ethnicity and religion became an issue here. We think it is important that the media does not fall into this kind of trap."
The CJC's community relations chairman, Arielle Meloul, pointed out that other newspapers covering this story locally refused to focus on the religion of those arrested.

"This is particularly disturbing to the Jewish community, given the very good relations we have fostered with La Presse over the last number of years. That is why we are seeking this meeting with La Presse before deciding whether or not to take further action."
One option open to Jewish groups would be to file a grievance with the Quebec Press Council.'

For the record thier are Jewish gangsters and if he wants to talk about them just like we talk about black and Italian gangsters I see nothing wrong with it. The truth of the matter is Jews have been deeply rooted in organized crime since Myer lansky! Admitting that truth don't make you an nazi

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/05/man_accused_of_running_the_luc.html&ved=2ahUKEwi61sC8qMTZAhVD2IMKHfZSBzoQFjAAegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw2fMHgKLSaJkc_nPSWdvdiV

Just Google Brian cohen

Did you go to General Discussians under the topic "A question for Italian Americans and Irish America" and see this hate literature that he put out there and tell me with a straight face that he is just discussing Jews that are deeply rooted in organized crime like Mayer Lansky.

Co-signed 100% Ciment.. In my opinion he can say anything he wants, but it is very obvious what his agenda is and I wonder if this thread is the place for it..

Of course there were/are Jewish gangsters.

Thats not why I used the term Nazi, which definitely isn't something I throw out lightly. But when you start to use sources like 'Jew Watch', it speaks for itself.

guess Im summoned and a topic with this, so I will respond.

A poster asked why Jews are so hated under the Irish/Italian thread. I quoted Henry Ford, and I also quoted Al Goldstein, Porn Mogul.
I also linked a story On The Bronfman Crime Family from Jewwatch.
I thought that I had explained that Jewwatch was simply a repository, that catalogues news and stories. The site owner is a Librarian with a Masters Degree.
The citation and links on that site came from Seagrams, Slate, Farrakhan Interview, and other places.
Some took and take issue with it. For hurting their feelings, Im sorry.

This site is hopefully an educational site, and I thought that good information was valued.
If you want to equate truth with nazism or any other kind of ism, I suppose thats your right, and Ill be sensitive to that going forward.
Not trying to rustle anyones shorts. Some are wound very tight, but i suppose being a new poster, im suspect.
I have a jewish aunt, who is a great lady, and the only one to make it with my uncle, divroced 3x and an asshole. My best friends wife is jewish. Great lady.
Again, Im sorry for upsetting any members.

I've seen the tittle "general discussions a million times but never clicked on it, I like it

And I see your point, you can't paint a race with a broad brush. If aidanbrexit can show proof of a Jew being connected with organized crime then let the truth speak for itself, all other harmful and racial comments don't belong on these boards

Any pictures of Leonardo rizzuto since his release?

Considering most to all the pics we have now, I seriously doubt you'll find any. If I remember right they had a publication ban on their case so you couldn't take pics I'd imagine (don't know Canada laws good enough, maybe Anti can comment) so everything we pretty much have seen is him at court. Outside of funerals and court it's about all we've seen.

There is a big difference between citing history--there were/are Jewish gangsters, just like there were/are Irish gangsters, Italian gangsters, Chinese gangsters, Russian gangsters, etc.--and quoting and continually using self-identifying anti-Semitic---or anti-Catholic, or racist--sources to "prove" the point. The honest, open and informative give-and-take we can have on this and the other boards are ruined by bigotry and bullshit like this.

The mods here welcome controversy but we will not tolerate any kind of bigotry!

Top Hells Angels member behind Outaouais syrup enterprise

The funeral of the matriarch of the Rizzuto clan, yesterday, was an opportunity for some of the tenors of the Montreal underworld to reaffirm their allegiance to the family under a discreet police surveillance.
In the morning, a few hundred people converged on the Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense church to pay a last sober tribute to Libertina Manno, the mother of the late godfather of the Montreal mafia Vito Rizzuto.
Besides his brother Domenico Manno, his daughter Maria Renda and his grandson Leonardo Rizzuto, freshly acquitted of charges, including gangsterism, the close guard and some allies of the clan were well visible.

Antonio Mucci and Antonio Vanelli, two important figures of the mafia since the time of the Cotroni, arrived side by side at the church.
Stefano Sollecito, Nicola Spagnolo and Marco Pizzi, in particular, represented the "new guard".

Those who come to [the funeral] are clearly on the Rizzuto side," says Antonio Nicaso, a professor of organized crime.
The influence of the family on the underworld, although weakened in recent years, remains important, according to him, hence this demonstration of several dominant figures.
The Rizzuto saw Nicolo Jr and Nicolo Sr die by bullets in 2009 and 2010. Paolo Renda, Vito's brother-in-law, disappeared the same year. The sponsor himself died of natural causes in 2013 after a long stay in prison in the United States.
Since, different factions oppose to take control of the mafia.
Construction and politics
Former construction contractors, made famous by the Charbonneau commission, were also present, including Nicolo Milioto.
The political community was not left behind as former federal Liberal Minister Alfonso Gagliano was spotted.
"Both the Italian community of Montreal and the underworld are affected by the death of Libertina Manno," says author and former intelligence analyst Pierre de Champlain.
In the vicinity of the church, which also received the funerals of Nicolò father, shot in 2010, and Vito Rizzuto, died of natural causes in 2013, a discreet police surveillance was exercised.
"The police will notice the present, but especially the absent," said Mr. de Champlain.
He suggests that for security reasons, some factions may have sent emissaries or will simply take the time to call the bereaved family.
At the Loreto funeral complex in Saint-Léonard, huge wreaths framed the room where the family received condolences during the passage of the Journal.

Funeral wreaths are often a good indicator of the links between clans, "says Nicaso.
The authorities will certainly have taken the time to take a look ahead.
One of the cars of the funeral procession had an immense bouquet identified to the Vanelli family, demonstrating their proximity to the Rizzuto.

PRESENTS YESTERDAY

Antonio (Tony) Mucci
Convicted of the attempted murder of Jean-Pierre Charbonneau, the journalist of Le Devoir newspaper in 1973. Mucci was the victim of an assassination attempt in 2007. He is considered by the police to be the head of the his own clan in the mafia. He was released from weapons possession charges in 2015.
Antonio (Tony) Vanelli
A figure of the underworld since the 1970s, he had pledged allegiance to the Cotroni before joining the Rizzuto when they took control of the Montreal mafia. Close to godfather Vito Rizzuto, he is considered a man of honor. He has also been the target of an attempted murder in recent years.

Domenico Manno
Le beau-frère de Nicolo (Nick) Rizzuto avait plaidé coupable à la fin des années 1970 à une accusation de complot dans le meurtre du parrain de l’époque, Paolo Violi. Sa mort avait laissé le champ libre aux Siciliens pour prendre le contrôle de la mafia montréalaise. Il avait écopé d’une lourde peine de prison aux États-Unis pour trafic de stupéfiants avant d’être libéré en 2012.

Nicolo Milioto
Ex-contractor in construction in the field of sidewalks. His testimony to the Charbonneau commission had made the commissioners go out of their hinges. In particular, he had been filmed by the police at the Consenza café while handing large sums of money hidden in his socks to Rocco Sollecito, a loyal lieutenant of Nicolò Rizzuto.

Alfonso Gagliano
A former Liberal Minister of Public Works and linked to the sponsorship scandal, he was a member of Parliament in Saint-Léonard from 1984 to 2002. He denied the allegations of an FBI informer who stated in 2004 that Gagliano was a long-time soldier Bonnano. In 1994, he also had to defend his links with Agostino [BadWord], for whom he would have done accounting. [BadWord] was also sentenced in connection with the murder of Paolo Violi.
