Feb. 5, 2015 An ambitious clan
"According to police, the Silvano brothers' cell attempted to take control of the distribution of cocaine in the Maritimes and in part of the Montreal region and Ontario. They would have worked hand in hand with two other cells dismantled during the June 2014 strike, those of the Bastone brothers and the late mafia lieutenant Giuseppe De Vito, going so far as to exchange henchmen. According to our sources, the
Bastone brothers are very close to Vittorio Mirarchi, former protégé of boss Raynald Desjardins accused with his ex-mentor of the murder of aspiring godfather Salvatore Montagna.
Moreover, among the individuals arrested yesterday, we find Steven Fracas, another of Mirarchi and Desjardins' co-defendants.
According to our sources, the cell of the Silvano brothers would have taken over from the D'Amico family in the Granby sector, would have controlled territories in the Lachine sectors and in Ottawa and would have sold their narcotics in Italian bars and cafes . Its headquarters was a café on rue Jarry, in the north of Montreal."
