Very strange events surrounding the Montagna murder trial. Magistrale, who sought bail and had it granted to him last Thursday, was re-arrested this morning.

From http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/s...e-montagna.html:

Quebec provincial police have arrested a 61-year-old man in connection with the death of alleged mafia boss Salvatore Montagna.

Pietro Magistrale was arrested in Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce–Côte-des-Neiges borough this morning.

Magistrale is expected to appear in Joliette court later today.

is about Magistrale's being granted bail last Thursday (March 21). According to the article, he faces more than a dozen charges in relation to Montagna's murder.

The newest charge against Magistrale may be first-degree murder, but I'm not sure.
