Molotov cocktail against a restaurant in downtown Montreal.
According to initial reports, a suspect was seen throwing a Molotov cocktail at the facade of the Terrasse Maya restaurant, which opened only two weeks ago.

Robert is one of the few Quebec members of the Hells Angels to have achieved "World" status, having spent some time in France he has contacts around the world, would they give that up?

Montreal Mafia leader Francesco (Chit) Del Balso gunned down in West Island

an attempt to answer a few questions posed above/previous.

-it would appear the working theory is that del balso was setup/sacrificed by HA to appease the rizzuto/sollecito faction. payment of $250 000 was made in cocaine allegedly? making it about 5 kg's worth i guess. if indeed the HA were behind this there can be no retaliation expected. if a truce was made and the cost was del balso all other scenarios can be discarded. the fly in the ointment is gone...back to business.

-i can see all this decreasing robert/plouffes power and influence and possibly causing perhaps pietrantonio or others to migrate back to the MAFIA.

-i dont think any of this has anything to do with mirarchi at all. del balsos murder could open up more sports gambling for mirarchi and his cell. business as usual for him and his i would think.

-the spryfield mob or what remains of it has NO/ZERO power or influence in mtl. if this group still exists it is in the east coast/maritime prison system. the majority of this mob are in jail. i cant even find any good proof that any of these members ever set foot in mtl proper. considering how del balsos life ended, if desjardins has been afforded the same type of "protection" from robert/plouffe i would be worried if i were him.

Most of you will recall that Sharon Simon was the onetime girlfriend of Sergio Piccirilli.

Murder of Francesco Del Balso: he had just met the #1 of the Hells

Del Balso tried to escape when he saw the shooter

Everything suggests that the mafia Francesco Del Balso came out of a meeting with the number one of the Hells Angels shortly before his assassination, yesterday afternoon, in front of a gym in Dorval.

The 53-year-old man went in the early afternoon to the training center of the Grant brothers, two well-known boxing champions in Montreal, located in the Monster gym on the Trans-Canada Highway. It is here that he would have met the biker Martin Robert, considered the most influential Hells in Quebec, according to the thesis currently favored by the investigators.

He tried to save himself

At the end of an interview that would have lasted "a good time", according to the gym employee, Francesco Del Balso went to the parking lot. As he walked towards his vehicle, he saw the shooter coming towards him. It was at this point that he would have turned around and tried to take refuge inside the gym. But the shooter still had time to aim at him. The scene was partially filmed by the establishment's security cameras.

I am more inclined to believe that Del Balso was set up by Martin but his protection with regards to defectors, that he has welcomed in his clan, is now questionable. That is why Pietrantonio's name comes up. The Rizzuto clan has been systematically eliminating any one that was disloyal to them or aligned with their rivals. Mirarchi and Desjardins had orginally aligned themselves with Montagna, a rival, but later parted ways. Will the Rizzuto clan look the other way and not seek retribution, I think not , but time will tell. If on the other hand, Martin did not set Del Balso up; then this may cause further friction between Rizzuto and Martin.

[VIDÉO] Un témoin a filmé le corps inanimé du mafieux Francesco Del Balso peu après son assassinat
https://www.journaldequebec.com/202...cesco-del-balso-peu-apres-son-assassinat

Simon's daughter who married Robert in the huge flashy wedding 5 years ago is pretty tough herself doing plenty of time and because she refused to give up her relation with Martin she didn't get parole. Tough girl like most Mohawks.

They offered so much to get this man. There was no way he was going to live

Ok here is a Theory with all this action:

Del Balso gets out of jail. Is told he is persona non grata in MTL , so goes and live in Quebec. IN quebec hooks up with the bikers , tells them he can give them alot of info on the MOB , more precisely the famous book worth millions. He then falls under the protection of the bikers and has his way back to Montreal. In Montreal Roberts probably makes him the liason between him and the mob. This royally pisses off the Rizzutto clan , as they know he is nothing but a fuck up. Del Balso then probably rubs this in the mobs face as he knows he has the protectian of the bikers.

The mob then knows he is giving the bikers alot of info on there business and tries to wack him a few times before his demise yesterday

Some questions : is pizzi next , his garagee's up to a few days ago were being torched , he was seen at a table beside Martin Robert , and was sitting with Del Balso and Barbieri ?

The bikers had a meet without Roberts and Plouffe, what does that mean? He lost alot of credibility doing business or protecting Del Balso a guy that threatened a journalist and priest , and has been a fuck up everywhere .

He wanted to flee to Amsterdam, but was arrested at the airport. They took his passport, but I believe he still tried to get away.

Lol imagine having this guy as your neighbor H. He'd extort you. You'd have to turn your beers in

Haha. he would have fit in with the bikers here LOL.

Nice post cheers.

some other interesting points:

1- Cazzetta is sent packing from the MTL Chapter , a Rizzuto supporter, probably was not aligned with Robert on doing business with Del Balso
2- Wooley gets his house or neighbors house shot up. Rizzutto supporter
3- Desjardins son is under Robert in the HA , quite interesting , is daddy Desjardins been relaying info to Martin Robert , through his son? Desjardins has been way to quiet.
4- Fun fact , would you want to associate with Mirarchi , last 2 partnerships , resulted in Montagna, Devito, etc all dead , then he partnered with the scoppas and they are all dead. and almost a 3rd if he has partnered with the Rizzutos

There seems to be a pattern.
They should avoid going to the GYM


June 2009 Dany DeGregorio Mafia was shot and injured near St. Leonard GYM
March 2016 Lorenzo Giordano Mafia shot dead near GYM in Laval
June 2018 John McKenzie West end gang shot and injured near Extreme Evolution gym
Oct 2019 Roger Bishop ties to HA shot dead outside Brossard GYM
Oct. 2019 Andrew Scoppa Mafia shot dead out side West Island GYM
Jun 2023 Francesco Del Balso Mafia shot dead outside Dorval GYM

That’s what I came to say, they need to stay away from gyms. I’d have to say this power move failed big time. The book is truly cursed like Scoppa said

A man arrested for the murder of Claudia Iacono

A 28-year-old man, a resident of Brampton, Ontario, was arrested by the City of Montreal Police Service (SPVM) for the murder of Claudia Iacono, this mother and spouse of a mafioso murdered in her car on May 16.

Joel Richad Clarke was arrested by SPVM Major Crimes investigators and is due to appear this afternoon at the Montreal courthouse to be charged with first-degree murder.

This would make more sense. Hiring idiots to do a job and they kill a guy's wife instead of the guy himself. Maybe the Gallo's were aligned with Del Balso/bikers, and this put Antonio Gallo on a Sicilian hit list?Now do they try to finish the job or is this enough? He has to live with the fact (if this hypothesis is true) that he may have gotten his wife killed. If they complete the job, then they orphan two small kids. I'm sure that matters very little to them.

The SPVM has tweeted about the arrest. I’ve yet to check the press-conference replay on YouTube to see whether the police are still refraining from using her name.

Don't forget the chapter led by Robert is compared to the Nomads chapter of Mom Boucher, very powerful. Boucher wanted to kill Desjardins, but he died a year ago. So that means an opportunity for Desjardins.

article in the newspaper last Nov states forced retirement but then we hear he might be with the south side chapter now . If he is still part of the south chapter then he is in good standing
