According to Godbout, Scarfo was recorded saying he was paid $17,500 for killing Giordano, less than what he was promised, and $5,000 for his role in Sollecito’s murder. The prosecutor added that the accused was also recorded telling the informant he is a member of the ‘Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type organization.

Godbout said Giordano and Sollecito were killed as part of a conflict between Calabrian and Sicilian clans within the Montreal Mafia.
