Hells Angels Promoter and Unremarkable Family Targeted by Gunfire

i love the old school denial by mr. dallaire.

" non non non, those arent bullet holes in my garage...there uh vent holes they help my garage cool down in this heat, yeah thats it nothing to see here."

pietrantonio attempt last week, looks like these 'alleged' shots were fired around same time give or take. 2 incidents in last couple weeks involving confirmed allies of martin robert.

va bene! grazie mille sei furbo. forse marty il capo puo chiamare il suo padrino, camparè ray lol. oppure chiama il nuovo 'johnny bravo' in ontario. secondo me i bikers sono scimmie sulle motociclette non inclusa il loro picaso. gli itaiani di sud sono diversi poi italos. il loro modo oppure morta! perche è una famiglia non è un atto.

two types of business, mafiosi and those who wish they are

Robert is fixing to either look like a genius and take control of Montreal or fail horribly, look like an idiot and die. Very important time in Montreal

any idea who doran smith is allied with amongst gangs? or is he an associate of a known mafia member/associate?

a related question, who amongst the many street gangs would still line up with the rizzuto-sollecito clan in 2024? since the murder of woolley in 2023 the gang situation has changed. celestin now lining up with robert as a marauder mc member being a good example. most good evidence had celestin being allied with woolley up until his murder, i suppose its possible this changed before or very soon after the murder.

Gunshots in Ville-Marie: a pizzeria targeted again

The month of July on the Montreal island has been marred with arson attacks and shootings on businesses and auto's. This has been going on for several months but July being the most active. In July about half of these attacks occurred in the St. Laurent and Verdun area. Other than the usual Mafia, street gangs and bikers, some of the victims have been of middle east origin. Owners of luxury car companies have also been targeted.

The month of July started with a luxury car being burned in front of this mansion home.

Le « roi de la cocaïne », Raymond Desfossés, est mort
https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2091833/mort-raymond-desfosses-caid-drogue

What's the final conclusion of the 2015 murder of Domenico Iacono? Mob related or not? I read that it was the result of a real estate dispute, and that his killer went to great lengths to hide his body because of his alleged Mafia ties.

not mafia related at all. iacono to my knowledge was connected to no one and not related to iacono family connected to gallo either. another murder, among many that has been continually linked to mtl mafia conflicts and wars, it is not and should be removed from all lists saying as much.

https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...after-being-caught-in-real-estate-scheme

a pretty good summary. note at beginning the mention of 'baseless allegations hat iacono was mtl mafia.' i'm paraphrasing but u get the point.

Vito, I don't think it was a mob hit. But don't you think it's strange that a regular old civilian stabbed this guy like 30 times then stuffed him in the trunk of a car? I mean, how often does that happen with just everyday people?

oh it is odd, but it sounds like boyer...the stabber had been told that iacono was connected, which he wasnt. so i guess if boyer assumed this guy was a legit criminal his mind must have been racing even before the confrontation that led to iaconos death. boyer was still convinced of this afterwards and dumped body only later to find out iacono was not mafia. and really alot of things about the milieu are very odd when ya think of it. alleged rappers getting killed for videos they post on youtube? thats odd. HA openly showing on their vests what criminal group they belong to, seems odd as well and not unique to quebec i know. the situation on some qc native reserves is odd considering the total lack of authority of really anyone.

as far as most people coming up against such a situation i imagine is not common nor would there be a normal routine way to handle a screw driver wielding tough guy asking for money in your home.

randomly stumbled upon this today. the owner of pizzeria, carmelo caruana caught my eye. i have no idea if he is related to any part of the caruana family. but it is not a common last name. i may be jumping to conclusions but...pizza franchise, multiple arsons, italian last name all within a timeline when R-S clan and HA (robert) were fighting over the book.

i wonder who ordered the hit, probaby the Rizzuto's being Anthony Gallo the son of Moreno...

Don't know if the question belongs here but have there been any details from wiretaps/books/confessions etc. about the wholesale price of cocaine in Canada or how much profit Mafia or the bikers make from importing it?

I was reading the Scoppa book and he mentions that he only made $2000 in profit per kilo of coke, which seems really low. He said you would pay $40K per kilo(I'm assuming this also includes logistics costs) and hope to sell it wholesale for $2000 profit. So if for example you import 100 kilos you risk $4 million to make $200K in profit. In this case it hardly seems worth risking that much money, or getting killed by a cartel if you get it on consignment.

On the other hand I was reading the book on the Wolfpack Alliance and while they didn't discuss profit per kilo, the author made it seem like the Wolfpack guys were swimming in money from importing coke. And during El Chapo's trial, Alex Cifuentes mentioned they dealth with Tony Suzuki and they made "dozens of millions".

Was Scoppa just bullshitting, making it seem like he didn't deal in coke because it didn't make sense, the old "i never dealt in drugs bit"? Or is it just that he just didn't have good connections and was forced to buy at a high price?

good question, i know the price pre kilo now is very low in mtl/quebec, under $30000 from latest article in the journal.

to the scoppa book it is a puzzle to decipher indeed, probably bs ing on that claim though. judging by robertos...errrrrrrr andreas, connect in operation dead hand 2024 the family was importing 100s of kilos a year for 8 years so i doubt they were paying near market price. andrea scoppa didnt seem much involved in much else if we take his book remarks. never had a piece of 'the book', no loansharking, extortion and here im talking 2012 and on. from the accounts in his book and the evidence gathered in proj estacade he was involved in cocaine and laundering the money through atms across montreal, a common practice.

the wolfpack from 2009-2012 did indeed bring in a lot of coke with a direct connect to the sinaloa cartel when price in big cities may have been closer to 50k for a kilo. and in that time brought in 1.2 tons of blow or something crazy.

as far as the HA have eclipsed the mafia in importation with alleged connections to cartels in mexico, so sinaloa or jalisco i guess.

https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2...n-plus-bas-prix-depuis-40-ans-a-montreal


heres the one from this year.

$18500.

/i just re-read the news about the Roberto Scoppa bust earlier this year and he bragged to an informant that he made $1 million/year while importing 100 kilos each month. So that's less than $1000 profit per kilo, which seems insanely low.

That doesn't seem to be worth it, unless he was just a transporter getting paid $1000/kilo, not buying with his own money. Seems like it might be better to just sell grams out of a bar or have 2-3 runners, instead of dealing with insane Mexicans, setting up logistics from Mexico to Canada and risk losing huge amounts of $ in a bust only to make $80K per month. A small retail crew would probably make as much money with less risk and hassle.
