Here is some more information on Violi. I happened upon a Halton Police Intelligence Report on him. This is where the Canadian Paper got its information that Violi is the heir apparent to the Luppino Crime family--look at page 2.

Also, Police in the Hamilton area knew Violi had corrupt police on the take since 2002. But did nothing about it until this Halston police report was leaked a few months ago. Here is the CBC article: CBC Police New Corrupt Officers on The Take, but Did Nothing for 16 Years
