I don't always add non-fatal shootings, and especially un-hit targets (Gregory Wooley would be on here like 4 times if that was the case). But since those are both big names they have been added. Not a lot of info on the record high homicide victims from 2021 in Montreal or The October 2, 2022 killing of a 48-year-old found in the trunk of a burning car that is said to be underworld related, if anyone has more info let me know.

I wouldn't consider Wooley's house being shot at a attemped murder to me its more of a message but I understand. By the way Serafino Oliverio was shot in 2021 not 2022. I haven't heard anything but the October 2nd murder but murdering a guy and leaving him in the trunk of a car and burning it sounds like the bikers MO. It's similar to the May 2022 murder of Hugues Leblanc he was found in the trunk of a burned tesla. He was a associate of the Hells Angels and he was killed within a 2 month period where 3 other Hells Angels associates were killed and it was reported they were all in the drug territory of a certain biker but I think they took that report down.

Unfortunately Montreal Police doesn't reveal names of those who are murdered or targeted to be murdered and the newspapers only reveal the names if it's a known name.

What's it going to take to have a lasting peace up there? Or is that impossible at this point?

It's not impossible but Montreal is made up of a bunch of different Mafia cells that cooperate together but also do their own thing. Sometimes their activities don't align with other cells and eventually violence will occur over it. There's two dominant groups that are the common denominators in all the violence Montreal has seen. Vittorio Mirarchi and the Rizzutos. From 2009-2011 Vittorio Mirarchi was in the center of it working under/with Raynald Desjardins trying to take out the Rizzutos. Then in 2016-2019 we saw Sal and Andrea Scoppa try to take over leadership from Leonardo Rizzuto and Stefano Sollecito and a hitman working for them who turned informant said Vittorio Mirarchi was behind the scenes pulling the strings.

Even though we have seen periods of peace like we currently are seeing I think if Montreal wishes to achieve long term peace the Rizzutos or Vittorio Mirarchi must go. Either a long prison sentence or taken out. Those are the only two options I see but in my opinion Vittorio Mirarchi is the one that has to go. The Rizzutos are too entrenched in Montreal just look at how hard they were hit in 2009-2011 and how well they recovered. They aren't at the height they once were but they are considered the strongest group again. If Vittorio Mirarchi went away for a long time or was taken out I don't think another strong leader would emerge out of his group or have the same ambitions as Vittorio Mirarchi does. I could see his group even splinter off into other groups or into their own little groups.

We have yet to see if Raynald Desjardins is willing to reignite the feud since his release. But he's a dead man walking either way.

I thought they had the story where Mirarchi and the Rizzuto faction teamed up around the time Desjardins was supposed to get the first time? So was that not true?

Never saw that. After Sal and Andrea Scoppa were killed he made nice again but I haven't heard of any Rizzuto and Mirarchi alliance

In 2022 private security around Leonardo Rizzuto and Stefano Sollecito has been reinforced. Both men have been warned by cops, with Sollecito being a prime target. They said Sollecito has lost favor with his cohorts at the top table.

Woolley was also told by cops to be on his guard. Rounding out the cop warnings is to Vittorio Mirarchi, a rising star of the Calabrians.

Man sentenced to 25 years for role in Mafia-related murders

https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/man...role-in-mafia-related-murders-1.19365864

Already served 3.5 years, and 9.5 to go until he gets parole, so 13 years for 4 murders. Truly not hard to see why the only thing that knocks off mobsters up there in Canada is death, just really no consequences. I mean Rabih "Robby" Alkhalil was basically one of the top dogs in all of Canada and poof, escaped their "max" prison and is likely gone for good. Just crazy how lenient it gets up there. Makes for good reading at least.

Man who plotted murders of Mafia leaders sentenced to 25-year prison term
https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...leaders-sentenced-to-25-year-prison-term

Not
Definitely not lenient in canada. Rabih was serving a life sentence and he was heading to court for another murder trial the day he escaped . He wasn’t at the supermax they’ll put him if they ever find him again. Hes a criminal mastermind and clearly a super savage and super wealthy. He has direct link to cartel sources. Hope he never gets caught anyways

Mirarchi is not going anywhere. He carries more clout then anyone in the Rizzuto clan. Mirarchi is the most powerful Italian in Montreal.

Why do you say that?

If it's true that Sollecito has lost favor at the "top table", we can expect more things to come. His health also taking in consideration he had/has cancer.

Mirarchi and his guys remind me of Merlino and his guys. Just in a sense they have been together since grade school very loyal following. Mirarchi's guys are very loyal to him.

Francesco Arcadi has not been mentioned lately, but I guess him and Del Balso are still tied.

^^^^
Arcadi's sister passed away in November of last year, and her visitation was at the Loreto funeral home owned by the Rizzuto clan. The one-time former director of the Loreto, Freddy Ruscitti (now retired), was the first to post online condolences.

Two men charged with attempted murder of man tied to Hells Angels
https://montrealgazette.com/news/two-men-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-man-tied-to-hells-angels

From the article:

Last year, Souverain was charged with the attempted murder of Davide Barberio, an alleged member of the Montreal Mafia. Barberio was shot on Sept. 21, 2021, at his home on René Lévesque E. in Laval and survived the attempt on his life.

Peter Edwards reveals just 3 mins. in that Francesco Del Balso is rumoured 1. to have fled to Amsterdam, and 2. to have a large bounty on his head.

a staggering list to be sure.
but the title needs to be changed. the amount of names on there that have nothing to do with anything relating to wars in montreal is staggering. so organized crime related murders in quebec and ontario may be better. good on ya for tracking all that but there needs to be distinction amongst all these attempts/murders.

Interesting in Europe you can hide a long time I don't know if he has connections here. He would need some id's /passports.

Obituary for Pauline Desormiers, ex-wife of Frank Cotroni:
http://www.complexeloreto.com/en/obituary/pauline-desormiers/

So if the HA control everything and he FDB is aligned with them
Why is he fleeing the country?

^^^^
What appears to be definitive, as opposed to rumour, is that Francesco Del Balso had his passport seized when he was arrested at the Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, from where he was supposedly planning to fly to Italy. I’m assuming that he is still being detained so that he can’t try to flee again, with a stronger reason being that he was targeted in the recent drug investigation that mostly involved the Hells.

Apparently he knew for a week after the attempt on Leonardo Rizzuto’s life that his own life was in danger — this is according to what Del Balso was allegedly told by individuals in the underworld with whom he is close, with these same individuals apparently also having encouraged him to flee Canada.

Edit: My assumption about Del Balso being detained was wrong, as he was released per the latest article by Daniel Renaud that will be found at https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...olice-recherche-un-vehicule-suspect.php.

Real estate developer Tinel Timu was shot and killed Thursday morning in Laval. As the case could be linked to organized crime, the Sûreté du Québec will take charge of the investigation.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...immobilier-controverse-tue-par-balle.php

In August 2021, the building in question, the former Moody factory, was the prey of a violent fire, a month after being sold to other promoters.

In 2016, a Montreal mafia lieutenant, Lorenzo Giordano, was shot and killed at close range in the parking lot of Laval's Carrefour Multisports, which is owned by a company chaired by Tinel Timu's wife and owned by a trust.
