Did Vito Rizzuto or his dad make anyone? I know that Spanish guy who was killed in Sicily claimed Vito made him but I don't buy it. I've also read there were Sicilian guys very close to Vito who weren't made.

On that same note, when and where did Vito get made? New York? Anyone know who in the Bonannos made him?

I have never read anywhere in any of the numerous books about the mafia in MTL of Nick Sr. or Vito holding a ceremony.That doesn't mean they never happened being a secret criminal society and all.
I would have to assume that Vito was made by his father.Nowhere in all the court testimony from the bonanno rat squad does anyone including massino mention V.R. being made by whom or when.
And as far as juan ramon fernandez being made that is nonsense.No full Sicilian made man would allow that.Probably j.r.f just puffing out his chest.

Nicolò Rizzuto had been a member of the decina led by the Calabrian Vic Cotroni, so he was made into the Bonanno's probably Galante.

When do you think it happened? Before or after Venezuela?

It’s hard to believe that the Bonannos (even in the midst of the Massino catastrophe) would allow such a profitable offset of their family to cut itself off and run independently.

especially with loose control over the Rizzutos. It could of worked in their favour

That's assuming there was anything the Bonannos could do about it. You've got an international border in your way for starters, so it's not as easy as a bunch of Staten Island wiseguys taking a quick road trip into Montreal to lay down the law on their erstwhile brothers in crime. Would they even know who to go looking for up there, or where to find them? Or who they are?

Particularly at their peak, the Rizzutos built a group that was enormous; the actual number of "made" men (if they are even made in Canada, in the American LCN sense) may be small but the number of associates according to court documents goes well into the hundreds. Not to mention hundreds more equally fearsome allies. And while American LCN has learned to operate in the shadows of RICO laws and that murder is bad for business; there are no such similar laws in Canada; as anyone can see it's still the Wild West in the Quebec Mafia, there have probably been more mob related murders in Quebec in just the past two years than in all of New York in the past ten.

My point is anyone (like Salvatore Montagna) who thinks they're going to come up from NYC and tell the Rizzutos what to do will probably be recieved similarly - i.e. they will be sent home in a bodybag.

Hollywood audiences may place weight in what the boss of the Bonanno family has to say, but the head of the Rizzuto crew/clan/family whatever they consider themselves to be, apparently do not. I would be shocked to learn that either Rizzuto or Sollecito would give two damns what Mikey the Nose has to say. That's the difference between the Hollywood image and the reality of the situation.

If you read the Court Transcripts which included wire conversations between Massino and Vitale (on the subject of the murder of Gerlando Sciascia), you would even be inclined to believe that Massino was more afraid of Rizzuto than vice versa. These transcripts are referenced in Mafia Inc. and in the Sixth Family. You can probably find them online as well.

I couldn't agree more the Rizzuto's had surpassed the bonannos in size and influence even before sciascia's murder.
The 1999 murder finally gave them the reason to formally bring an end to the subservient relationship.
Also the way gerlando sciascia was portrayed as THE CAPO of montreal crew in NY was never true he would have been operating under direction of the Rizzutos in NY.

I would say there is a good chance that Nick Sr. was made in Sicily before his 1954 arrival in Canada.
His father-in-law was antonio manno who at the time was #1 mafia boss in Agrigento and cattolica eraclea.

I think in those parts of Sicily, especially with a father like Libertina Manno’s father , you get made the day she becomes your wife. ‘The women give you, your respect and honor’.

‘Un omicidio e come un matrimonio in Sicilia’

A murder is like a wedding in Sicily, only ways to make blood, or something very close to that, I can’t fully recall, I apologize.

”If you read the Court Transcripts which included wire conversations between Massino and Vitale (on the subject of the murder of Gerlando Sciascia), you would even be inclined to believe that Massino was more afraid of Rizzuto than vice versa. These transcripts are referenced in Mafia Inc. and in the Sixth Family. You can probably find them online as well.”


Does anyone have this above?

i think i rember sal vitale saying he went up there in the 90tys to run a induction. also think carmine galante gave nick rizutto permission to kill violi but he didnt have phil rustellis ok to have violi whacked and that started galante downfall

galante probaly deffinitly inducted vito in 1977. galante made aton of guys that year

Already in the 50s Galante pocketed tens of millions from Montreal. Mostly from drug trafficking.

It's all laid out in the book Mafia Inc.

I can't recall this word for word, but I'll try: Sal Vitale visited Montreal in 1999, after the death of Gerlando Sciascia, with Anthony Urso; if you read about this meeting the truth is better than fiction.

In a nutshell: Vitale was there to "deliver the news" to Rizzuto that Sciascia had been murdered and to assure him that that Bonannos were looking for the real killers. Vito, already certain that Sciascia was killed by the Bonanno family, had chairs set out for himself, Vitale, Urso, Frank Arcadi, Paolo Renda and one other which he deliberately left empty, intended to symbolize a chair for Sciascia.

Vitale's real purpose fo the visit was to take a headcount, on orders from Massino, to assess how many "Bonannos" were in Canada. Vito Rizzuto responded that there were a total of 19 made members in Montreal.

Vitale then asked who was in charge to which Rizzuto replied that everyone in Montreal was equal and that no one was in charge. Vitale told Rizzuto he was authorized by Massino to offer him the Capo position for Montreal to which Vito politely declined; which was taken (perhaps as intended) as a direct insult to Massino.

The RCMP and FBI believe that it was at this point, following the death of Sciascia, that any tributes that were being paid from Montreal to NYC stopped. This was the point at which the Rizzutos formally, if without saying so outright, severed their ties with the Bonannos.

I would tend to believe that accounting of events, particularly given the lack of co-operating evidence any of Massino, Vitale, Cantarella, Coppa, Lino or others had to offer against the Montreal members, with the obvious exception of the events in 1981. None appeared to be in possession of any more recent knowledge.

Mafia Inc. is a great read, and the superior book to "The Sixth Family" - for a thorough understanding of the Rizzuto clan I highly recommend it.

Because Vito Rizzuto declined the captain position offered him by the Bonanno Family, Nick Rizzuto Sr. was named captain -- as we all know from reading the various books and articles published since at least 2006, Vito had suggested his father anyway.

The most in-depth details of Vitale's visits to Montreal are found in Daniel Renaud's Vito Rizzuto : la chute du dernier parrain, published in November 2018. Even Humphreys and Lamothe mention in The Sixth Family... that there was more than one visit by New Yorkers to Montreal to deal with the question of who would replace the murdered Gerlando Sciascia. What Humphreys and Lamothe were unaware of before the publication of the 2006 first edition of their book and even after the publication of their 2014 edition is that RCMP officer Lorie McDougall and his colleagues had gathered evidence at the time of Vitale's last visit that Nick Rizzuto Sr. was named captain. For years McDougall had suggested he and Renaud write a book together, but Renaud was reluctant. Renaud changed his mind, and McDougall is credited as a collaborator on the aforementioned November 2018 book.

Thanks anti, if Nick was already made in Sicily he was probably transferred to the Bonannos once settled in Canada of course his links to Sicilian Mafia (Cuntrera-Caruana) also remained strong.

ThAnks east side, anti - I need to read this book then! Got a stack of unread books I need to go through first!

Same here i buy them but haven't the time to read them lol, yesterday I got The Life and Times of Lepke Buchalter.

Haha happens all the time Hollander. Now I’m intrigued about the lepke book! Let me know what it’s like pls

Leonardo Rizzuto is most likely the boss and possibly ub Stefano Sollecito , don't know about capos

mafia in MTL doesn't have a boss and underboss administration/hierarchy presently like those in u.s. mafia.
maybe in years 1999-2006 it may have had a similar structure to families in u.s. but after the Rizzutos 2006 mass arrests and decades long war no such structure exists.
if Leonardo is boss it would make S.Sollecito street boss in same role his father held for Vito.
members/associates work directly for these 2 top leaders.at this time there are no capo positions there are cell leaders in charge of small groups for specific crimes and territories.

i would be surprised if anyone in the mafia up there took there marching orders from a guy im guessing never probaly had a fistfight in his life and his whole family has been killed by other gangsters. i would guess hes just atop adviser to whoever is at the top. think its slim picking up there as made guys go. there getting picked off by street gangs its all fucked up, up there. thats chaos not OC

The most senior figure is Francesco Arcadi, who was already acting boss when Vito served his sentence in the US.

Similar to Nicolo Sr, Victor or anyone else who will take on leadership position. It was more than likely a organization decision, probably involved talks in Sicily/Southern Italy, South America, and everywhere else the Rizzuto does/did business.

The West Coast of Sicily is very influential, and the link to Palermo and Reggio, was evident in the bridge deal to Messina, that Rizzuto was part of that was worth billions of dollars. I think Rizzuto was convicted in Abenstia. Not to mention Nicolo Sr links to Milano, and everything that Milan represents.

Although Victor Rizzuto is gone, the system that produced him remains, I assume whatever decision have been made, it will have taken a similar process to make them, they are typically made in and for blood.

Leonardo Rizzuto got beat down by a biker one time in the late nineties. Donald Bam Bam Magnussen. That same year Magnussen disappeared after heading off to meet Mom Bucher to do a deal. Later they found Magnussen and another guy named Steinert floating in the St Lawrence River. They both had been tortured and they had their skulls crushed with blows from baseball bats and hammers. I think Magnussen was also having other problems with Bucher as well. Seems like a 'two birds one stone' scenario. Make Vito happy, and get rid of some loudmouth who's causing problems.

Arcadi was Vito's faithful Underboss for years and - as a Calabrian - was essential symbolically to keeping the Sicilians and Calabrians working together under the Rizzutos in those years. His brief tenure as acting boss however, was disastrous. He's a solid number two though and despite his lineage has always proven to be one hundred percent faithful to the Rizzutos.

The other name who is back out there, and a big money maker is Francesco Del Balso who has in past years been touted as a "Capo" as far as such structure may or may not currently exist.

Tony Suzuki, hes like the Where’ s Waldo, of all this?

It’s been inferred that Tony Suzuki was one of many individuals Rizzuto met with after release, to attain an agreement for Rizzuto to seek Vendetta.

Tony Suzuki is connected to David Suzuki, the Consigliere of the Enviro Mafia.

The family has significant reach into San Francisco, the Pacific Northwest, parts of Vermont, and all across Europe. Al Gore has headed up the family for almost 20 years while street boss Greta Thunberg takes care of day to day racketeering matters like recycling.

Powerful capos inside the Democratic Party are rumoured to be pursuing scams involving electric car rebates and a "tax" on coffee cups and plastic bags.

This is one of the most vicious and highly profitable groups active today.

is this real....lol al gore invented the internet

Lol, I apologize, I meant Antonio Pietrantonio.

arcadi goes way back to the start of the Rizzuto war. not surprised if Rizzuto, Sollecito, del balso and arcadi are in top posititions despite the later both involved in drugs

The entire Rizzuto family is centred around importing cocaine. There's no "despite them being involved in drugs" -- in fact, they're in the top positions *because* they are involved in drugs. Always been the main source of income for the Rizzutos.

yes and its there downfall which is why 15-20 years for coke is common

That's the occupational hazard of their chosen business. At least, for them, prison time in Canada is pretty much a joke. Why, if you're lucky enough to be sent to William Head Institution you can even book a tee time on the *literal* prison golf course. It's only six holes though, which I'm sure has the prison-reform crowd at the John Howard society morally outraged. You need at least nine holes to play a full game.

Here you can read chapter 12 in Mafia Inc. about Vito's push into Ontario, good read.

https://publicism.info/crime/mafia/13.html

why do you think Vito had to meet with all these people in order to obtain permission for this "vendetta"??
don't think Vito had to talk to anyone before starting to eliminate his enemies.

He didn’t need permission, especially after what happened to him. He did have meetings, identify direct targets, no interference from others worried they were in the crosshairs for what might be considered disloyalties, when it could be interpreted as a necessity of business, based on what was you going on.

It would be amazing if he didn’t talk to at least someone regarding Vendetta, unless of course, he was a one man army. Maybe so, that seems very unlikely, Rizzuto seemed the diplomat and business man. Who prior to dying, seemed to have settled most blood debts, and regained control.

Without communicating with others to get all that accomplished would seem strange, but possible for sure.

The saying ‘by the time LE know, the street has already moved on’, could just be an old rumour from in and around the time Demarce Joesph was killed and again when Tony Magi was killed.

Now it appears Rizzuto is back in a position of influence, so whatever they are doing must be working.

I remember when Rizzuto got out of prison, there was such a buzz, the Sicilian Don returns, after what happened.

No one knew what was going to occur, would someone try and kill Rizzuto. Then he did disappear, and from what I have been told, he met with certain people, from there on out bodies began to drop.

met with members of his own faction to take back control of mafia in MTL.
and of course Vito wasn't out there doing these hits himself.
as far as meeting w/ pietrantonio after his release from jail seems odd considering pietrantonio was allied w/ salvatore montagna in an alliance to overthrow the Rizzuto faction.
there is less than a year between pietrantonios dec,2011 attempted murder and the oct,2012 release of Vito.
considering some of those murdered afterward were just as complicit in the attempted downfall of the Rizzutos i can't see Vito meeting w/ pietrantonio for anything.

That makes sense, it was implied that Rizzuto was only interested in those who actually were involved with murders of his blood and closest.

That the business infractions were easier to forgive, than the murders if people were willing to go back to the way it was. After he, died all that went out the window.

More info on Darrell (Dutch) Van Elk?

van elk was the leader of a large cocaine distribution network based in the western part of MTL(west island area).
the network worked under tonino callochia/roger valiquette and with members of the west end gang.
van elks #2 was bryan cullen with a total of 5-7 men working for him according to info released in his 2015 arrest.
van elk continued to meet with members of MTL mafia including marco pizzi and erasmo crivello after 2014 murder of callochia.

Thanks.

The FBI never made such a statement. They maintained well into the 2000s that the Rizzuto/Montreal group was a branch of the Bonanno family. Renaud states in his book about the Montreal mafia war that Montagna made trips between New York and Montreal in the years before his deportation to Canada. So contact between the groups remained. There is no evidence that the Montreal group ever officially seceded from the Bonannos. The Rizzutos may have broken off by themselves, but in order to become an independent group they need recognision from the other families, and there is no documented evidence to confirm this.

In response to your previous post, I think a case can be made that an Hollywood image has been created about the size and power of the Rizzuto organization by the authors of the Sixth Family.

At their height the Montreal Mafia was perhaps comparable to a midsized US family but never rivaled one of the Five Families, at least not in terms of numbers.



Agreed.

there is no hollywood image of the rizzuto's.they eclipsed the power and connections of all NYC families for a time (1999-2004).
the global reach of the "Rizzuto's" in this period was greater than all 5 families.
no other 5 families could claim connections to as many countries and syndicates as the RCF.

Seems like a very small family, is it possible that there's cell leaders we don't know about

i only put down in chart known members/associates of one faction of the mafia in MTL area.
i'm sure there r other cells even among the r/s faction but with no recent arrests or coop witnesses there is little accurate new info out of MTL.
which i find to be insane considering the amount of arrests and murders/attempted murders in the last 10 yrs.
and yes to it being a small family 19 in the list,but had the MTL/Rizzuto crime family not splintered and gone through what it has the past 10 yrs it would be one of the strongest in the world as it was under the leadership of Vito and his father.(1993-2004)being the most prominent years.

and there r according to media reports other strong cell leaders working independent of the r/s faction. vittorio mirarchi,antonio mucci/antonio vanelli,alessandro sucapane/former devito loyalists,the scoppa bros before there 2019 murders and others.if u were to take just those names and add it to the r/s faction as a unified family it would make it very strong.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...-criminels-dans-des-bars-de-montreal.php

copied from other thread
any info on who owns and or controls these 6 businesses?
6 molotovs in a week at anytime is alot even for MTL.

https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/six-vehicles-damaged-in-suspicious-saint-leonard-fire-1.4918428

more arsons this time 2 tow trucks and 4 nearby vehicles.

I apologize in advance, as I stated previously that I wouldn’t post on your threads, to avoid further arguing. However, this might be relevant, to what we are discussing.

This is an article about Mark Stables, deported HA from Toronto, he is also a BJJ Black Belt, and linked HA with Brazilian Jitsu in Ontario. Since then, you basically cannot do business in Ontario or throughout Canada in MMA unless you are willing to be the bidders of HA. Similar to being a puppet. The messed up part is that these bikers that teach BJJ, also get contracts to teach the cops. Which conveniently enables them a secret ‘closeted’ like relationship, that like any secret or business, that provides a front to launder $, you gotta kill to protect.

It states that Hamilton HA are/were looking to take over the East Coast, the Bacchus is now there, and there is now Bacchus in Hamilton.

The MMA Club that was suppose to be in the East End of Hamilton, wasn’t a lie, it was a front. Since, well it’s been documented.

https://gangstersout.blogspot.com/2011/12/former-hells-angel-fights-deportation.html?m=1

Stables, is now in Mexico, from what we know, Mexico does play into what happened, Danny Ranieri, not saying they did kill him, but I am definitely not going to say they didn’t.

https://carlsongraciemexico.com.mx/about/

Sorry again, I know I was annoying you with this before, but like I said before, you can’t do what this guys have done/do and think they can get away with it forever.

Which is sorta funny, if you know these guys, they tend to be only focused on a 1000 years Reich, just a bunch of racist rapist, hiding in closets with their 🚓.

I seriously doubt they needed any recognition or word from the 5 Families to break away. There may have still been ties but the Rizzuto’s were global while the Bonanno’s are a joke today compared to other groups including the Rizzuto’s. Vito has infiltrated casinos in the DR, was even in on the toll bridge connecting Sicily/Italy together not to mention their strength in drugs. Even though they were never the size of the Bonanno’s they have definitely overwhelmed them in terms of worth.

I still say just look at the Montagna/Desjardins and Montagna/Rizzuto relationships and that will tell you what Montreal thought of the Bonanno’s and NYC.

the situation between rizzuto's in montreal wasn't the same as say some of the 5 families having large strong crews in NJ,florida or springfield mass.
the rizzuto's were and to some extent still are a global crime family w/ connections all over the world with a variety of different criminal groups.
any tribute they sent to NY was probably designed to appease the bonannos to be left alone.
after murder of gerlando sciascia that tribute stopped(1999).

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...etablissements-vises-un-homme-arrete.php

2 more arsons and some info to figure out as usual in canada wouldn't want to drop a name for fear of i don't know what??
interesting to see at end of article the comment about antonio mucci "retiring" and how this may have caused instability.

ivanno scarpa shows up as 1st shareholder of bella vista rest. 9118-0919 QC INC.

as far as the chisler bar it says it is controlled by a former member of g. de vito cell and now a "rising star" in mtl mafia?

That's crazy in these corona times is Montreal not on some kind of lockdown?

yes all cities in canada are to some extent on lock down but don't think OC abides by any laws to begin with.
there r no curfews or LE on street corners so cars out late at night/early in the morn???
but holy to be this busy during this pandemic is a little much u r right.

I'm on the west coast it's been pretty quiet with the occasional flare ups nothing like in Montreal though . I have a feeling once lockdown is lifted it's gonna be crazy out there .

the question being what groups r fighting and over what?
most likely outstanding debt from past gambling debt or loans.

even being as close as i am to MTL alot of this action in the past decade goes almost unnoticed.
there r several great reporters for lapresse,journal de mtl and tva that i get info from.

https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/another-suspect-charged-in-kidnapping-of-u-s-couple

looks like a group of 7 kidnapped mans grandparents over the loss of 3 million in cocaine.
gary james arnold was (in 2012) the leader of a tobacco/marijuana smuggling network based in QC w/ links to the BASTONE BROS. if i remember correctly.
the others in the group all appear to have previous arrests or connections to OC in MTL/QC.

i have a question about antonio mucci it was referenced in an article about some recent arsons(probably back in summer) that he had "retired" and there had began a dispute over his past territory/rackets.
these guys don't retire they may become less active on the streets but there is no pension plan.
anyone have any idea who mucci would work with
the only names i have over the years r....carmine antonio vanelli,francesco de palma(2012 drug bust),carmine serino and jesse petrocco(both at one point bodyguards)and salvatore brunetti who is a full patch HA in the mtl chapter since 2016.

another ??? about the above mentioned kidnapping article any info on which criminal group has/is running coke through the vermont-QC border?
the DOJ seems to have an ongoing investigation into a group so wondering when the hammer will fall on the group as a whole?

https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2020/10/31/abattu-sous-les-yeux-de-magi

so it was magi all along ordering murders of both NICK JR. and DEL PESCHIO.
ducarme joseph himself murdred NICK JR. according to scoppa in new book.

sounds like magi was operating independent of the desjardins/de vito alliance and murdered these 2 over money he owed to them both.

sidenote: how is this story about andrea scoppa not a bigger topic of interest on this forum?
here is a guy who was working as informant for police/journalists during the most violent 10 yr period in recent OC history in north america.
scoppa was not some low level associate or soldier but the leader of his own network of cocaine importers on a massive scale.
already in just 2 days since the release of book 2 of the murders appear to be finally solved.scoppa also appears to know the identity of who shot NICK SR.

Can’t wait to read the book, if there’s an English version. Been waiting for answers to this saga!

Also from the book (chapter 10, «La Sauce»):

5 novembre 2012
Andrew Scoppa et Vito Rizzuto étaient ensemble la semaine passée. Andrew a dit que Vito pense que la commande de tuer son fils [Nick Jr.] vient directement de Joe Di Maulo.

This is what we learn in the new book La Source , by journalists Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault, to which the late clan chief himself collaborated by breaking the omerta by his confidences on his life within the Mafia. Scoppa, whose real first name is Andrea, was shot dead on the morning of October 21, 2019, in front of the gymnasium where he was going to train in western Montreal.

In the fall of 2014, this 55-year-old millionaire drug trafficker had agreed to become a confidential source for journalist Félix Séguin, from our Investigation Office, by meeting him on multiple occasions and providing him with information on organized crime. Italian.

The Calabrian-born Montrealer, who was among the confidants of the late godfather Vito Rizzuto, then found himself with his younger brother, Salvatore Scoppa, at the center of a bloody power war between them and the new leaders of the Rizzuto clan.

The police had learned one of the reasons for this showdown during the investigation called Magot, where they unwittingly spied on a meeting of the two leaders of the Sicilian clan, Stefano Sollecito and Leonardo Rizzuto - the son of Vito Rizzuto - , with Gregory Woolley, whom the authorities described as the “godfather” of street gangs in Montreal, in August 2015.

The three men no longer trusted the Scoppa brothers and suspected that there was a mole among them.

According to what the two journalists specify in The Source , Andrew Scoppa had acted as an informer for several police investigators for years.

Sollecito, Rizzuto and Woolley were imprisoned as early as November of the same year. Andrew Scoppa was then considered by the police as the interim godfather of the Montreal mafia until his arrest in the Estacade drug investigation in February 2017.

The authors also bring readers to the heart of this investigation which led to the seizure of a hundred kilos of cocaine in the Tour des Canadiens, in downtown Montreal.

The police had notably tracked down the mafia leader by hiding a microphone in his vehicle. Scoppa already said he feared being killed with two bullets "in the coconut".

On May 4, 2019, his brother Salvatore died riddled with bullets during a family celebration, in a hotel in Laval.

Knowing that there was a price on his head and that he might not have long to live, Andrew Scoppa agreed to collaborate on the two journalists' book project by revealing several secrets of the Mafia during a series meetings they have held abroad for security reasons.

Among other things, Scoppa unveils never-before-seen details about the reign of godfather Vito Rizzuto, as well as the murders of his eldest son, Nick Jr, and his father, Nicolo, a decade ago.

Scoppa also opens up about his rivalry with Sollecito, whom he saw as his worst enemy, and the murderous vendetta his brother, Salvatore, allegedly waged at the expense of the Sicilian clan.

"He wanted to kill them all [...] and he had several," he told the authors.

Andrew Scoppa himself has admitted to being involved in murders.

" Yes it's sad. Because in this business, you do it for one reason: money. You take lives for your profit. As far as I'm concerned, when it happened to me personally, it was because it was the only option, ”the feared criminal claimed.

Two months before being killed, the late lord of the Mafia has also confided how he was tormented by anxiety and the fear of dying.

The two journalists explain that in the event of his death, Scoppa had left them the free choice to disseminate his revelations by lifting the confidentiality of his identity.

“If you sow love around you, you get love in return. But if it's blood you're spilling, you should try your own medicine too. He who lives by the sword perishes by the sword. At least that's how I see it, ”he had resigned himself to believe.

vito rizzuto was wrong, it seems magi did it on his own, he paied ducarme to kill rizzuto jr. and vito rizzuto thought the order came from di maulo

half way down article there is an image of a chart any idea how to find full picture or source??

Wonder what the book says about Gregory Woolley and the street gangs

Go to https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/emissions/je/video/6134421545001 («La pieuvre» : émission «J.E» du 20 février 2020). Tap/click on the video.

At around the 3:50 mark, the full chart starts gradually being revealed. Take many screencaps. (You’ll find glimpses of the chart or parts of it at the 0:28, 30:00, and 30:34 marks.)

Regardless of whether mobwatchers saw the TV episode when it first aired or afterward, they all wanted copies of what is known as the organigramme. Originally I took pictures of my TV screen. Then I watched the broadcast again on my devices so that I could take screenshots — this is your best bet, unless you can persuade law enforcement to provide you an image of the chart and the names of the individuals listed for each of the 13 cells.

13 cells? Is that Sicilian faction or an entire organization?

Italian organized crime in Montreal.

High surveillance release for gang leader Gregory Woolley


Woolley will be back on the street of Quebec.
Wonder what will be is place in the criminal world

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...pour-le-chef-de-gang-gregory-woolley.php

the 13 cells would be an overall strength of mtl mafia
whether all 13 cells fall under the leadership of RIZZUTO-SOLLECITO ADMIN. is another question.
most current info has the mafia being united and working together under this admin (sooooo canadian i know).
IF that is the case the #'s in mtl of active street members would be somewhere around 40 NOT including close non italian associates.

*this chart shows only the core Italian members currently on the street in Montreal.

Most accurate chart I've seen by all accounts VitoCahill

How do you get this info, they are so accurate, it’s like your a cop 👮, are you undercover on this forums? Metelsky? Chad Pearson is an undercover narc, who dad was a Narc Cop in Toronto, who use to make them do some terrible things.

I personally think it’s related to the cream color Camaro, the Scarbourgh Rapist and Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Orgies maybe? He was on the House wives of Toronto as well, Porno Star lifestyle or something.

Sorry, if I’m wrong and not sorry if I’m right!

BTW I ain’t the Jewell


Imagine them in Cop uniforms, that’s all Santa Muerte is just saying ☠️

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m73v3WP1kCQ

thank you vito andolini by no way a definitive chart and i always look for insight into the MTL mafia from other forum members.
the montreal to toronto corridor has been the most active in north america mafia wise in the last 15yrs not easy figuring out how it all fits together but its a start.

and to molochio i am not a cop (in my best departed accent) i don't know any cops nor am i related to any cops or L.E.
the info from the chart comes from indictments,the internet,books and alot of french language crime reporting out of quebec i.e. felix seguin,daniel renaud and the like.
as for the rest of your post i do not understand any of it.

Fair enough, if you ain’t that guy, that message is for people like him. Because from what I’ve been told people use these forums as social engineering tools.

This Metelsky was on the radio in Hamilton calling for another shooting in Hamilton, and then somebody flew a kite in prison with, potentially Chapo Guzman and CN and Albert Iavarone was whacked. He was killed to prevent the cops from trying kill some else, like they may have done with Saverio Serrano.

Ps...I also think the charts as silk!

They got some bisexual narco cops, working with bisexual crooks in prison, the streets and government. They rape and kill women and children too, the Aboriginal massacres, etc in Canada. It’s like the Dirty Harry Mangum Force, read btw the lines with the ‘Magnum’ lol, they refereed the guys are all homosexuals in the movie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEhjFKunNW0

That’s what the dark pools are, covert operations of such. They move drugs and children with groups like ISIL [Afghan Heroin, etc] the JTF, which is the elite special ops in Canada military. They got the same going on with the cops, screws, politicians and Elites in Canada. Hence, the Vince Poole bust in Hamilton and his links to ISIL, but also the reason the Barberi and Musitano murders were solved by Homeland Security, the FBI and the DEA.

There was a sociopath serial rapist and murder, that was State sponsored in Canada, named Colonel Russel Williams. The Nomad, Rene Charlesbois that killed himself, had a crooked cop they owned that they got this type of information from, it’s all linked.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/hells-angel-rené-charlebois-left-tapes-before-committing-suicide-1.2457461

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/col-russell-williams-timeline-1.913312

This is the thread 🧵 that would help bring light to all of this, from certain peoples perspective

http://www.opp.ca/index.php?lng=en&id=115&entryid=576c23208f94ac7035355e0f

Who’s brothers, lovers and best friends, it’s like prison sex without prison. People know, now there just starting to get scared. I believe this is why Walter Stadnik and Donal Stockford were set up by this type of network, to stop them from shutting that stuff down.

It can all be trace to the Cali HA Scott Stienert, also look at the gay porno they offer on Bell Satellite, the Bell Province’s finest I guess, kinda like GSP. Stienert is mentioned in Danny Kane Wiki, Dany Kane, was a bisexual Hitman from Quebec.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Dany_Kane

If people want the truth, they should ask those guys, especially Norman Robatialle from the 95 HA Nomads, MOM Boucher.

any new info on vittorio mirarchi it has been quiet since his release.
there was a sports gambling bust of 2 associates steven casale and francesco catalano a few years back.

and where do the bastone and silvano bros line up w/ mirarchi?

Vittorios nickname here is the ghost there is a reason for that. I doubt that we will be hearing anything in the news about him anytime soon. He's been laying low the last couple of years.

-chart above is a possible reflection of who may be in control of organized crime in MTL/area going into 2022.
-after reading many different articles over the past 2 years almost exclusively by the great journalists at la presse and the journal de mtl this alliance appears to be the consensus.
-i have put the mafia on top to represent the mafias view of things...however in the past 2 years there is no agreement on who is overall in charge MAFIA/HA.
-only listed those who are alleged to have influence/control i can only believe that the mafia cells contain more members/associates. same can be said for HA members.
-this chart also operates on the theory that currently there is no traditional mafia structure in MTL right now...i.e. top down pyramid type admin with a BOSS/SB and then cell leaders underneath.

well that chart did not translate well will re post.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/2022-01-05/laurentides/coupe-a-blanc-sauvage-en-pleine-nuit.php

wonder if anyone saw this martorana was once an associate of francesco arcadi.

Frank Martorana and son Danny are mentioned in this article published yesterday (Saturday):

James William Awad : des transactions avec des proches de la mafia

https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/01/29/des-transactions-avec-des-proches-de-la-mafia

reviving this thread for a question that has been gnawing at me for a while.

can we consider pietro d'adamo a current leader in the MTL MAFIA or is he a soldier/associate...or anything

-many media reports state that he is "the current strongman" of lasalle...whatever that means. i dont know where this title comes from? d'adamo has never been arrested or charged with any crime relating back to a controlled territory in or around the lasalle quebec area. furthermore no other members of the MTL MAFIA or known associates have been arrested or charged in last 10 years at the least for any crime relating back to the lasalle area.
- there is crime in lasalle, it may even be organized to some extent but most current arrests connect back to the hells angels or street gangs.
- d'adamo has been arrested and convicted for importing cocaine on a large scale in the past related to charges stemming from project colisee (2006).
-d'adamo has in his past been connected to members of the WEST END GANG through the now deceased laramee bros. both brothers were murdered in july 2013 making that connection mute. following the murders of the laramees 2 connected drug networks were busted. i do not know if any of those arrested in 2013 are still criminally active.
-the only name that pops up is one lawrence cooney who was arrested for drug trafficking and gun possession in 2022. but i can find no links between the two.
-i bring up the alleged connect to W.E.G. only because d'adamo is still in 2023 linked to members of W.E.G. d'adamo is still linked to a group that by all accounts does not exist. i say does not exist in the historical context of the WEST END GANG. a criminal group who at one time had control of port of MTL for import of narcotics.

to wrap up why are we to believe that pietro d'adamo still maintains any of these old outdated connections. is he the new leader of a cell of W.E.G.? is he a leader in MAFIA? is d'adamo anything but a soldier/member or even associate in MTL MAFIA?

any and all comments, thoughts, insults appreciated.

as both threads currently on the go pertaining to MTL MAFIA have become threads to post up to date articles of the daily chaos in that city and our opinions and thoughts accordingly. i thought i would post an attempt here to show where some of the influential and oft mentioned leaders align themselves. it looks like a 2 sided war going on between the RIZZUTO/SOLLECITO FACTION on one side and the ROBERT/PLOUFFE FACTION on the other. there obviously is influential OC members that we dont yet know where there allegiance lies.

MAY 2023
THE RIZZUTO/SOLLECITO FACTION

RIZZUTO CELL
LEADER
1.LEONARDO RIZZUTO
members
2. liborio cuntrera
3.charlie renda
4. nicola spagnolo

SOLLECITO CELL
LEADER
1.STEFANO SOLLECITO
members
2. francesco sollecito
3. giuseppe sollecito
4. mario sollecito
5. vito salvaggio
6. pietro d'adamo
7. desiderio pompa

other allied groups/leaders
1. SALVATORE CAZZETTA (H.A.)-South chapter, FULL PATCH.
-with the rumor of his alleged retirement to now knowing of the switch to the south chapter it could be alleged that cazzetta is not on side with whatever ROBERT/PLOUFFE et al are up to. Cazzetta has a long time connection to this faction of the MAFIA.

2. GREGORY WOOLLEY
- not known if woolley leads his own OC group or is now a high level associate of the R/S FACTION.
members
3. jean winsing barthelus
4. jean philippe celestin

notes: the above of course cannot show all known members or associates that may be allied with this faction. this represents a possible core group of consistently mentioned OC leaders and known close members/associates. grand total of 15.


MAY 2023
UNKNOWN ALLEGIANCE ?

1. francesco arcadi
2. vittorio mirarchi
- for both above i will not speculate on possible associates/members. both arcadi and mirarchi have been very quiet since there respective releases from prison.

focarazzo cell
leader
1. giuseppe focarazzo
- based in laval and has been referenced as a "link" between the R/S FACTION and the HA. for this reason alone it makes it hard to nail down where he and his cell would align. the same can be said for 2 members below. both daze and lavie have past and current dealings with HA.
members
2. martin daze
3. frederic lavie

barberio/pizzi cell
leaders
1. davide barberio
2. marco pizzi
- there is debate as to if this is one cell, 2 cells partnered up, who leads it or if both do in somehow. there is a consensus though that these 2 are working together to control R.D.P. and mtl north. barberio has been described as a "street boss" of some kind responsible for settling disputes at street level amongst different OC groups. i will say at this point that title is in doubt considering first his attempted murder in 2021 and the state of affairs on the street. barberios word is clearly not being listened to anymore that much is for sure. also the numerous arsons recently against barberio/pizzi and their families/businesses gives us no clear indication what side they fall on. no one if any that have been arrested for these crimes points an arrow clearly at either side.
3. erasmo crivello

oliverio-lopez cell
leader
1. serafino oliverio
members
2. franco lopez
3. giuseppe lopez
4. pasquale lopez
- the 3 nephews of serafino listed above are clear of all charges relating to proj magot/mastiff arrests. all charges dropped 2019. the cell is believed to operate in the mtl north area as well. no good evidence yet showing relation to the barberio/pizzi cell. possible both cells work together to control territory or subsequent attempted murders of barberio and then oliverio were tit for tat shootings.


HA
trois rivieres chapter
leader
1. mario brouillette
-has long been considered a respected figure across the OC landscape in mtl/quebec. it is alleged he no longer holds full patch status and this is possible. it is also a long used ploy by HA to throw off police. in an article dated just last week brouillette has been described as being an arbiter between these 2 FACTIONS. perhaps brouillette has taken on the "street boss" role.
associates
2.aurele brouillette-father
(D.R. chapter, FULL PATCH)
-important to note as the d.r. chapter was founded by the trois rivieres chapter. the d.r. is an important source for cocaine exports entering canada/mtl.
3. carmelo sacco (released: mar. 18 2021)
- sacco at time of 2018 arrest was described as a high level producer and trafficker of methamphetamine with links to HA and MAFIA. upon his release sacco was informed that his life was in danger.

1. salvatore brunetti
(MTL chapter, FULL PATCH)
-long time OC figure with connections all over the place. has been described as a longtime friend of salvatore cazzetta. brunetti remains a member in mtl chapter. for this reason alone i place his name here.

notes: all i will say here is that if you just take the 3 mafia cells total numbers and switch there allegiance either way it can provide a faction with a significant amount of extra man power and resources. its only 10 members but again this only represents the high profile names constantly mentioned. just moving the 10 to R/S FACTION makes it 25 a not insignificant number. that also is not including arcadi or mirarchi and whoever may be in there respective organizations etc.


MAY 2023
ROBERT/PLOUFFE FACTION
HA MONTREAL CHAPTER
LEADERS
1. MARTIN ROBERT- FULL PATCH
2. STEPHANE PLOUFFE- FULL PATCH
- i can find no separation between the 2 as far as an overall leader, most evidence would suggest robert being more influential and powerful.
associates
3.mathieu desjardins-son of raynald
- is reported to be involved in a legal loan company under protection of robert. this one detail may prove telling.
4.johnny fuoco
- saint sauveur drug territory manager.
5. rheal dallaire
- has past financial dealings with RIZZUTO and SOLLECITO dating to 2019/2020. was arrested recently in same sweep that also included; robert, plouffe, fuoco, lamontagne and del balso.
6. sharon simon (mother-in-law to robert)
- simon remains to be influential on the kanesatake reserve with plans to begin construction of a casino on property she owns. having married her daughter in 2018 this would solidify connections to aboriginal OC groups on reserve.

HA
7. michael lamontagne- full patch
8. gilles lambert-full patch
- alleged to be involved in both sports gambling and cocaine trafficking. was also recently arrested as part of same drug investigation targeting robert et al mentioned above.
9. david lefebvre-full patch
-controls drug territory in; sw island of mtl, vaudreuil and salaberry-de-valleyfield. lefebvre also sponsored the formation of minotaurs mc in 2017 who are believed to have taken over drug territory in hoch-mais, rosemont and east mtl once belonging to gregory woolley.
10. rob barletta-full patch
-new full patch in mtl chapter (2022?). long involved in illegal sports gambling in ontario most recently proj hobart/proj sindicato 2019 allied with the figliomeni 'ndrine. if barletta remains allied or connected to the figliomeni that is another angle to all this to consider.
11. vincent boulanger-full patch (chapter secretary)
associate
12. seeyomak salemi-seifoddin
-has been described as a influential member in middle east OC in city working with boulanger to control drug trafficking.

MAFIA
13. francesco del balso
14. antonio pietrantonio
- not much i can add to the 2 above. both have been under protection of or allied with ROBERT/PLOUFFE for a couple years now.

notes: although this faction falls number wise 1 short of the R/S FACTION that barely matters and is pure coincidence. a full patch HA can have control of multiple cells slinging drugs over vast areas of mtl and quebec. when looking at some of the names above they have been connected to exactly that.

as always all thoughts, questions, comments, corrections are welcome.

https://icalabresi.it/rubriche/rizzuto-ndrangheta-free-riders-sfida-cosa-nostra-canada/

an older article but another good one by sergi.

we can now add eric bleau, FP of marauders mc to those allied with ROBERT/PLOUFFE faction.
