This is what tends to demonstrate the investigation into this alleged assassin wanted for 18 months and whose capture is now a priority of the Montreal Police (SPVM), as reported by Le Journal and its Investigation Bureau yesterday.
The SPVM has come to this estimate by analyzing similarities in several cases of mafia or Hells Angels homicides in recent years.
Also in Toronto
Police have not limited their examination in Quebec since three or four murders committed in the greater Toronto area could also be attributed to him, according to our information. This police hunt takes on a race against the clock to find Silva alive. It is feared that anyone who has benefited from the protection and financial assistance of the Rizzuto clan is now "burned". Since it could become an embarrassing witness for his employers, it can not be ruled out that the mafia or bikers are trying to find him before the police to silence him.
"People who gave him contracts must now be worried," former SQ investigator Jean-François Brochu told LCN, suggesting that Silva could denounce his employers by becoming an informer if the police manages to pin it.
A danger
"He has become a danger and can not trust many people. It is also dangerous for the police who will try to stop him, "said Mr. Brochu, who led the investigation into imprisoning the hitman Gerald Gallant for 28 murders in 2006.
In Quebec, several hired assassins preferred to collaborate with the police in confessing their crimes, while incriminating the sponsors and accomplices of their murders, in order to save their lives.
This is particularly the case of Gallant, who also sentenced 11 people, former Angel Hells Angel Trudeau (involved in 43 murders), Donald Lavoie (27 murders for the Dubois clan) and the mafia killer Real Simard (five murders).
Silva is also the one who liquidated Alessandro Vinci in the offices of the car dealership of which he was manager in Laval, on October 11, 2018.
The 38-year-old suspect is already accused of murdering a client of Les Amazones dancers, Daniel Armando Somoza Guildea, who was killed after an argument on May 24, 2017 in Montreal.
Silva, who uses aliases and often changes his physical appearance to escape the police, is also charged with attempted murder on the mafia boss Salvatore Scoppa in Terrebonne in February 2017.
