all i will say to the article about enrico foschi...is that noone on this site had that name on theit mtl mafia bingo card at all. with that being said it does not make him now a member of any clan but could he be considered an associate? i mean he has been seen 'associating' with known high level mafia leaders across 2 different clans over the last 6 years or so. foschi could be a buffer or messenger between these 2 clans. there has been mention of davide barberio retaining a connection to the mirarchi clan, foschi and barberio were neighbors for 7 years so they were known to each other. i dont think this scenario is far fetched, not all mafia decisions and communications are done pin-to-pin with phones and mirarchi et al would be less likely to use p2p phones after the rcmp had cracked said tech during montagna murder investigation, making the position of an unknown, trusted buffer/messenger with no criminal record important.
now unless some on here are building historical timelines/charts of whom controlled what territory over the years in montreal, the question of if little italy was controlled by the scoppas is irrelevant today. both as we all know are dead and neither of andreas or salvatores cells have continued on in positions of power or territorial leaders. most all recent articles and reports state mirarchi controls directly or through associates/cell members territory in st leonard and little italy. is it total control? i doubt it, like most all territory in greater mtl it is shared amongst other crime groups. also important to remember since 2023 into 2024 most articles claim mirarchi is spending more time in toronto area related to cocaine importation.
I agree with you with regards to Enrico Foschi being some kind of buffer/messenger; I also agree that most criminal groups work together in many ways but territory is sacred. All have had past disagreements or conflicts on that matter; for Mirarchi to be controlling certain areas is a big thing. I read an article in the past where the MTL clans got together for the sake of peace and Mirarchi was asked to be part of it as an independent having his own clan. This proved that he carries weight. It doesn't surprise me that he would claim the Scoppas territory for himself. The fact that he spends time in Toronto does not stop him from having subordinates controlling some of his activities in MTL. In fact, have a connecting narcotic route between Ontario and MTL port benefits both sides.
