Vittorio Mirarchi, accused with other individuals, whose boss is Raynald Desjardins, of the murder of godfather aspirant Salvatore Montagna, remains in prison.

This was decided this afternoon by Judge Marc David, of the Superior Court, following a release inquiry, which was held in September and at the beginning of this month, at the Joliette courthouse.

Mirarchi, alias Victor, who is represented by Isabel Schurman and Toronto lawyer Edward Greenspan, was the only accused to have such an inquiry.

A publication ban prevents us from revealing what was revealed during the inquiry, but remember that the evidence is mainly based on PIN messages intercepted by the RCMP that the accused would have exchanged on their Blackberry devices before, during and after the murder of Montagna, on November 24, 2011 in the island of Vaudry, in Charlemagne.

The other defendants in this case are Jack Simpson, who rented the house where the crime was committed, Felice Racaniello and Calogero Milioto.

Mirarchi, who has links with the Calabrian families of Ontario, is considered by the police as the right arm of Raynald Desjardins. After the death of Mirarchi's father, Desjardins raised Mirarchi like a son.
