The investigation on the Quebec side is being carried out by the National Organized Crime Repression Squad (ENRCO), which seems to indicate that the suspects are linked to a structured criminal organization. The Press noted that the investigators had notably searched the residence of Francesco Sollecito, brother of Stefano Sollecito. The latter was still recently considered by several police sources as the leader of the Sicilian clan of the Montreal mafia.
Francesco Sollecito and his brother are the sons of Rocco Sollecito, one of the former mafia leaders, assassinated in 2016. When Francesco got married, the witnesses to his wedding were Paolo Renda, the consigliere of the Sicilian clan, and his wife.
