despite the many contradictory and past associations the consensus seems to be that samy tamouro was allied with the HA. to be more specific the montreal chapter and F.P. jean richard lariviere. i think we need to disregard the claims of being close to celestin, this seems like a past connection when there was still a working alliance amongst MAFIA-HA-WOOLLEY etc. the lapresse article also claims that tamouro was still active or receiving 'tax' for areas hoch-maiss and the laurentians for cocaine and meth trafficking. these 2 areas are HA territory, NOT celestin, MAFIA or otherwise. the most recent journal article claimed tamouro was allied with mtl chapter and 'right arm' of above mentioned lariviere.

but alas despite which side we can conclusively place tamouro on, the motive as usual remains unclear. was it an HA purge do to fear of tamouros past connections to silva? was it the rizzuto-sollecito clan taking out an important player from the robert/plouffe side? tamouros presence in mexico is curious, perhaps there in hiding or setting up cocaine shipments, although this has not been mentioned and is only my suspicion. or as some other murders in the milieu have turned out to be this one served a dual purpose for several different parties.
