i can keep posting more just about kollaros and the rest of the people mentioned previous.
after reading a wide variety of material on line and elsewhere thats my best guest. a poster asked a question i tried to answer which is what i thought this whole site is about. all the info i posted is readily available on line from journalists and other media i simply condensed what i had read and posted it to answer a question.

It's cocaine that's 'ndrangheta business all around the world they are the biggest brokers.

Great breakdown. Thank you Blackmobs.

punjabi/south east asian or indian networks are a major factor in drug importation and distribution in the toronto area.
indian owned trucking firms and there drivers have been busted with multi kg loads of cocaine coming from US and crossing at one of the many border points in southern ontario.
they have had an increasing role in imports for at least the last decade with connections to mexican cartels.

Youre welcome @Jace . Sure there are other organizations that other people from
The forums knows probably more.
Like the lebanese groups in Quebec or others provinces.

Good to know, thxs.
Are they link with the indian/punjabi criminal groups of Vancouver ?
I guess so
Also, the Wolfpack have made alot of connections with organizations from other provinces

i dony know if all the punjabi groups are linked together but there have been some recent investigations involving inter province cooperation.
i will try to find info, there was one involving cannabis flowing from bc to ontario for further transport to the US. same bust involved cocaine and tobacco smuggling.
also in some of these cases the transport truck drivers at times are un wittingly carrying drugs across borders. in other cases they are directly involved.
one thing for sure it is predominantly south east asian drivers being busted the most over past 2 years in the western ny/southern ontario corridor. this trafficking route is becoming one of the busiest for cocaine imports into canada.

This topic is approaching its 10 year. I wonder what the reaction would have been if one of us answered the topic question back then with the answer of "At least 10 years."

Without the Montreal Mafia it would be very boring lol.

Attempted murder in Laval A major player in organized crime targeted

Francesco Del Balso, a major player in Montreal organized crime, was reportedly the target of gunshots this morning in Laval, La Presse learned.

The events occurred shortly after 9 a.m. near a business located at the corner of boulevard Saint-Martin and rue de Blois, in a residential area of the Duvernay sector.
Half a dozen shots were reportedly fired. The police found casings.
According to our information, after the attack of which he was the victim, Del Balso would have moved to a café he frequents regularly on Bellerose Boulevard in Laval.
Investigators from the Organized Crime Division of the Service de police de Laval (SPL) are on the scene.
Cocaine and sports betting

Formerly associated with the Sicilian clan of the Montreal mafia, Francesco Del Balso was sentenced to 15 years in prison for gangsterism, trafficking and importing cocaine in the wake of the major Coliseum operation carried out by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in November 2006.

The evidence had shown that Del Balso was one of the Mafia's cocaine import managers at Trudeau Airport and one of the organization's sports betting directors, whose profits are said to have reached more than 26 million in a little over a year, according to a police expert.
In May 2017, while he was on parole, individuals broke into his home in Laval, presumably to kill him. But the mafioso was absent and the suspects manhandled his family members before leaving without fulfilling their contract.
In October 2018, Del Balso threatened TVA journalist Félix Séguin and his parole was suspended for a fourth time. He was then sentenced to one month in prison.
The last time Del Balso made headlines was last September, when Laval police arrested him on allegations of extortion of a priest

But Del Balso was released a few hours later and has not been charged in this case.
According to police sources, Del Balso would today be more associated with bikers than with the mafia. He would be very close to the Hells Angels Martin Robert and Stéphane Plouffe, considered by the police to be among the most influential individuals in Montreal organized crime.

According to our information, the individual targeted by this attack is Francesco Del Balso, one of the most influential mafiosos in the province.

Surprisingly, Del Balso returned to the scene of the crime in the middle of the afternoon. After parking his van at the edge of the street, he went to talk very briefly with a policeman before leaving the scene promptly.

Pas de recette miracle pour un tueur trop volubile

It is only a matter of time before Del Balso gets clipped. He has avoided about 4 known hits and probably a few other times he knows nothing about. He is marked for death. I am pretty confident this is coming from Mirarchi. Also remember hearing Desjardin did not like Del Balso at all.

Also threatening crime reporters and extorting a church lol.

The weapon can be found in the habit on Sister Mary Margaret's head. Do NOT mess with the retirement stash for the Sister's of Saint Joseph!!!!

But seriously, is Del Balso on the outs with the Sicilians up there too? Or are the Calabrians attempting to strike for power again??

Good question I do believe in the past there were tensions between the Rizzuto's and the calabrian Arcadi crew of which the murdered Giordano and Del Balso were key figures.

I am positive Del Balso is still good with the sicilians as he has been spotted with Leo a Sollecito not that long ago.

Sorry not a Sollecito I meant and

OK, Frank Arcadi has been quiet though before his arrest he was the acting boss.

Andrew Scoppa’s take on the relationship between Desjardins and Mirarchi (from ch. 9 of Inside the Montreal Mafia):

“At the end of the day, things didn’t turn out so good for Raynald. I heard he and Mirarchi are on the outs now. You never wondered why Raynald wasn’t put in the same jail as the rest of his gang? Raynald was in Bordeaux with the bikers, while Mirarchi and the others stayed together at the jail in Rivière-des-Prairies and then in Saint-Jérôme. Raynald was the first to plead guilty, alone, without checking with the other co-accused. Supposedly, Mirarchi told all of them, ‘You’re with me or you’re with him.’ And they all followed Mirarchi. They say it cost Mirarchi $3 million in legal fees, especially to challenge the way the RCMP intercepted their texts with Stingray devices in Project Clemenza. And he ended up winning. Desjardins never challenged anything. Strange, isn’t it? When Mirarchi came out, the first thing he did was go make peace with everyone [in the business] for him and his guys. …”

I don't understand why some on here continue this Sicilian vs Calabrian nonsense.
These past feuds are no longer part of MTL mafia.
No proof that so called calabrians or ndrangheta ever had anything to do with 3 wars in MTL. Arcadi has been quiet since release and i can't think of any evidence showing a feud between rizzutos and arcadi.

Montreal had always many Calabrians Vic Cotroni was a big boss.
