Here's how a wiretap conversation talked about getting rid of Pat Musitano


Excerpt:

In the September 2017 recorded conversation, Dom Violi says the Musitanos were supporting the Cuntreras, who at times are referred to as the "coffee guys." The Cuntrera-Caruana Mafia family is known in the Woodbridge and Toronto areas. The home of Giuseppe Cuntrera, referred to in the court documents as "Big Joe," was targeted with gunshots and fire in the summer of 2017.

Pat and Ang Musitano are referred to in an earlier recorded conversation with the police agent, which is also included in the court file, from Jan. 6, 2016 — more than a year before Angelo's murder. In that conversation, Joe Violi talks about a plan he'd heard about from a hit man to target two people, one in Hamilton and one in Toronto.

Violi tells the police agent he thought the Musitanos and the Cuntreras were behind those plans. But it appears those murders, if there was ever any truth to the plans, never happened.


What a mindf*ck this all is, especially because Business or Blood argued that the Siderno Group and Caruana-Cuntrera family were in cahoots, the latter in effect therefore no longer beholden to the Rizzutos.


I agree mindf*ck is a good characterization........LOL

But the above mentioned theory (Musitano/Cuntrera) may explain why the Cuntrera's were being targeted. It kind of makes sense for now. Given the fact that some of the Luppino daughters married members of a prominent Ndrangheta family and Violi promotion to underboss shows that there may have been a strategic alliance between NY, Violi/Luppino & Ndrangheta to purge remnants of the Rizzuto holdings in Ontario.
