The victim, Paolo Caputo (“Paul”), may be related to brothers Martino and Antonio Caputo, given Paolo’s having previously owned the Savorie restaurant in Toronto’s Forest Hill neighbourhood, which is where Vito Rizzuto sometimes dined and would have spoken with the Caputo brothers.

Victim in daylight Roncesvalles shooting ID'd as 64-year-old Paolo Caputo

i think they're killing even relatives not involved in organized crime, they use a sort of corleonesi strategy lol cece luppino and the grandson of remo commisso was probably not
involved for example

The 'Ndrangheta war in Canada is not calmed where blood continues to flow. A real mafia war that sees as "belligerent" mafia families of Calabrian origin. Last innocent victim of this terrible feud a restaurateur originating from Vibonese. This is Paolo Caputo, who ran his own restaurant-pizzeria "Domani" at 335 Roncesvalles Road in downtown Toronto.

The victim was hit with four pistol shots fired by a running white SUV, with the pistol used for the murder thrown out the window and found by forensic officers. A murder in full mafia, despite Paolo Caputo had nothing to do with organized crime. Caputo was born in Calabria from a father from Capistrano and mother from nearby San Nicola da Crissa.

I'm not providing the Toronto Star link because you would likely hit a paywall.

How were Cosimo and Cosimo related? In January "The Quail", now 68, was acquitted and released after 26 years in prison.

The murdered Cosimo Ernesto Commisso, born 1984, may not be related at all to Cosimo Commisso of Italy, alias u quagghia, born 1950.

The two, if related, could only be related through Ernesto's father's side of the family, as Ernesto's mother's maiden name is Parr (we can infer from the wording of a number of obituaries of Commissos that Ernesto's parents were divorced a number of years ago). Claudio Commisso -- Ernesto's father -- is a first cousin to brothers Cosimo, Remo, and Michael of the GTA Siderno Group.

Ernesto's paternal grandfather, Ernesto Commisso (d. 2010), was brother to the mother of the three Commisso brothers, Emilia Commisso (her maiden name was also Commisso). The Operazione Bene Comune-Recupero reports indicate that Remo Commisso is a cousin to u quagghia but does not indicate the degree of cousinhood. None of Emilia Commisso's siblings are named Francesco, which is the name of u quagghia's father, so this means that Claudio Commisso and first cousins Cosimo, Remo, and Michael are not first cousins to u quagghia via siblings Ernesto and Emila respectively. (Other degrees of cousinhood are certainly possible.)

So there are a number of other possibilities that would establish that Claudio Commisso and/or first cousins Cosimo, Remo, and Michael are first cousins to u quagghia:

1. Claudio Commisso could be related to u quagghia via his mother, Teresa Commisso (I don't know her maiden name).

2. Cosimo, Remo, and Michael are related to u quagghia via the brothers' murdered father, Girolamo (killed in the late 1940s).

Again, other degrees of cousinhood are certainly possible.

Giuseppe Commisso (u mastru) and Antonio Commisso (l'avvocatu) are brothers who were born in Siderno -- the latter is the one who was arrested in Woodbridge, in the Greater Toronto Area, in 2005. The poster LittleJoeShots believes or knows that the Commisso brothers in the GTA Siderno Group are cousins to Antonio, which would mean that Giuseppe is also related to the three brothers.

Antonio and u quagghia are supposedly cousins, which if true would mean that Giuseppe is also a cousin to u quagghia. Giuseppe's wife's name is Clementina; so her side of the family may need to be explored if you're doing a family tree.

TO PUNISH THE BROTHER
Vibonese restaurateur killed in Toronto, in the background the shadow of 'ndrangheta's revenge
by Arcangelo Badolati - 30 August 2019
'ndrangheta, murder Caputo, restaurateur killed in Toronto, Johnnie Raposo, Paolo Caputo, Catanzaro, Calabria, Chronicle

The shadow of a transversal revenge . Paolo Caputo, capistranese and owner of the restaurant "Domani" in Toronto, was assassinated on August 16th last: a gunman armed with a gun shot him in front of dozens of witnesses and then escaped. The victim had lived in Ontario for decades. The younger brother, Martino, was nevertheless condemned because he was jointly responsible for the murder of another Italian-Canadian, Johnnie "Maserati" Raposo, riddled with bullets in a "Little Italy" bar in 2012.

The ambush of Raposo could be the cause of Caputo's death? None of the investigators feels to exclude him. The presence of the 'ndrangheta in Canada was, in fact, confirmed by an innovative sentence according to which the Calabrian mafia is fully operating in North America.

The complete article in the Gazzetta del Sud on newsstands.

You forgot to copy and paste a translation of the headline, Ristoratore vibonese ucciso a Toronto, sullo sfondo l'ombra della vendetta di 'ndrangheta.

Paolo Caputo’s murder may have been the result of someone or some group avenging the execution of Raposo, but the ‘ndrangheta — and the ‘ndrangheta’s revenge — has nothing to do with the murder.

And Raposo was Portuguese-Canadian, not Italian-Canadian as claimed by Badolati.

Thanks for the corrections, I agree we haven't seen anything that links the Caputo brothers to 'ndrangheta, although they are calabrese.

Was a Roncesvalles restaurateur killed over someone else’s $5 million cocaine debt to the Sinaloa cartel?
