Grandparent fraud: scammers who prey on our elderly people in the sights of the police

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...e-la-publication-du-jugement-initial.php

this is a case lapresse has been following since it started. it must relate to OC murders in qc, however because of the bizarre 'secret trial' aspect we can only speculate to the name of the accused. my first guess considering the nature of this trial would be frederick silva. there was also though an informant going by the name 'brad pitt' that came up during the trial of jonathan massari et al related to the falduto bros murders. all very odd to be honest in this democratic bastien of canada.

Vitocahill Brad Pitt was the alias used for Jonathan Massari and he was not a informant so its not him and it isn't the witness who testified because he testified in those Falduto murder trials so his identity is known just not to the public.

It's not Frederick Silva either because it's not a secret he's cooperating.

"In his statement [an accomplice] mentioned that to his knowledge, the shooting was ordered in a context of war between the Hells Angels and the Italian mafia," noted the magistrate.

The backdrop would be a conflict between Hells Angels and the mafia

the only full patch HA member that i have reference to controlling salaberry-de-valleyfield is david lefebvre. he was best man to martin robert at his 2018 wedding. as for whom dumont is associated with from HA i cant say its lefebvre nor does the article. dumont then could be an associate of an associate to a full patch member. i would think attacks like these as is common go through a series of 'buffers'.

What is Stadnick up to these days? Surely he's still a player with the HA's?

Looks like the Port still plays a big role in global trafficking.

The investigation also made it possible to intercept, in April 2023, over a ton of marijuana hidden in a container that left Canada, specifically from Montreal.


The 'Ndrangheta also financed the transnational gang of drug traffickers who imported drugs from South America: this emerges from the ROS investigation which today made it possible to defeat a mafia-type criminal association with 15 precautionary measures issued by the investigating judge at the request of the Salerno Prosecutor's Office (coordinated by the prosecutor Giuseppe Borrelli ). In particular, through one of their men, the Neapolitan Errico D'Ambrosio , it was the Alvaro criminal family, the brothers Nicola and Francesco Alvaro , who shelled out large sums of money to import and purchase the narcotic substance. According to the investigators, Franco Volpe and Cataldo Esposito coordinated the operations , together with other suspects who were currently untraceable. The intermediation was instead entrusted to Carmine Ferrara , his close collaborator Salvatore Rocco and the Calabrian Fortunato Marafioti . The investigation also made it possible to intercept, in April 2023, over a ton of marijuana hidden in a container that left Canada, specifically from Montreal. Also in this circumstance the drugs landed in the port of Salerno, thanks to an import-export company from Poggiomarino (Naples) of which a man from Boscoreale (Naples), Antonio Malafronte , was found to be co-owner . In this affair, the magistrates say, an Italian-American, Michele Annunziata , was also involved : according to the ROS, he was the one who organized the transfer of the huge load of marijuana, financed in part by a Neapolitan, Giuseppe Gargiulo . Franco Volpe and one of the wanted suspects were responsible for recovering the narcotic - according to the investigators - in exchange for a sum of money. The so-called minor crimes - theft, receiving stolen goods and threats - committed in Cilento, are contested by the investigators against Franco Volpe and another suspect: Volpe, in particular, also had the task of identifying the targets and providing logistical support to a group of thieves from Puglia, his accomplices, including Michele Campanale .

penso che sta vivendo a hamilton sulla collina. è vero lui è il capo che ha ritornato con potenza? guerra con mob a hamilton e montreal? anche il suo figlio è un capo

he in the home on a mountain and his son is a boss, like Marty il capo. the nurgent has a wife and girlfriend, the son has two moms, many cugine e the fam!

A man police link to the Montreal mafia, Michele Annunziata, is currently being held in a prison in Italy following his arrest for allegedly importing more than a ton of marijuana into that country.

A discreet clan
According to police intelligence and our sources, the Annunziata clan is very discreet, but has been present for decades in Montreal, and operates in isolation.

Its headquarters is a café located on Boulevard Robert in Saint-Léonard which was also the stronghold of Agostino Cuntrera, an associate of the Rizzuto clan assassinated during the putsch attempted against the Sicilians in 2010-2011.

In the early 2000s, the Annunziata clan was considered by police to be one of six Montreal mafia families that reported to Cuntrera.

According to police and criminal sources, Michele Annunziata is close to Salvatore Cazzetta, members of the Hells Angels of the South section.

I don't have specifics on where he lives or his position in the club but he's a member of the Niagara chapter unless he's switched chapters in the last 2 years.

I don't know about his son that TheGhost is talking about. A lot of what he posts is the same as a former user who was big into conspiracies with the Hells Angels claiming they're all homosexuals and some how former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was tied into all of it.

Most recent pic of Sal Cazzetta in the police operation in May. He's already 70 years.

Yea I don’t pay him any mind…

I haven’t really heard anything about Stadnick other than him being mentioned in the Scoppa book or his release. I have a hard time believing he wouldn’t be a player with the HA’s but you never know.

Important time for both players in Montreal now for sure and especially with the HA’s and the Rizzuto’s

Yeah there's been nothing about him since his release. Few chapters wear patches indicating their positions so it's even harder to know. The Niagara chapter has always been a strong one in Ontario and it currently has two former national presidents with Walter Stadnick and Gerald Ward. Martin Robert from Montreal probably is the national president today but we can't say for sure.

Interesting facts about Mirarchi. The article mentions, "He is the leader of his own clan and has interactions with other powerful figures within organized crime. Several reports mention that he controls Little Italy.”

If true it looks like he acquired Scoppa's territory.

Little Italy wasn't either Scoppa brother's territory their territory was Riviere des Prairies. Vittorio Mirarchi controls Saint-Léonard or part of it.

Please provide me where you got that information that Mirarchi controls St. Leonard.

I know that there is a cafe Gianni Bistro in St. Leonard owned by Magri that is linked to Mirarchi and associates.
The media also mentioned he would frequent Cafe Luna in RDP.

La Presse Updated Oct 20, 2012


Andrea Scoppa, 48, would control the Parc-Extension, Mile End, Little Italy and Lachine sectors in Montreal, and would also be present in Laval.

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.

Davide Barberio has made a number of on-camera appearances from an Ontario prison since July 26, 2023, which is his Information Sworn date. (I'm trying to remember whether he's been in more than one Ontario institution since then.) His criminal matter is still before the Ontario Court of Justice.

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.

Mafia 101...... I also found this information about who controlled RDP.
Journal de Montreal Oct.21,2021.

“Their” territory 
Barberio and Pizzi are at the head of one of the largest criminal groups in the city, according to police documents to which our Bureau of Investigation had access, which would give them the ability to intervene to calm tensions between street gangs. 
Their organization is said to have control over the drug market in the Rivière-des-Prairies district, one of the rare territories under the exclusive control of the mafia in Montreal, where this market is dominated by the Hells Angels.
Previously, the Rivière-des-Prairies sector in the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough was controlled by mafioso Salvatore Scoppa, who was shot and killed in a Laval hotel in the spring of 2019. 
But this area of ??the city is also one of the most affected by the surge in shootings that has been observed over the past two years."

I would actually go so far as to say you should EXPECT someone with advanced capabilities in narcotics to take over the Scoppas territories.

As far as being off the radar....You could have said the same about Valiquette.... it's still not clear to me what drug territory he was beefing with Dejasrdins over...

For too long there was this assumption, that we knew all the guys, because it was the whatever...19 Bonnano guys that we had names for. But to me... those guys were part of an era that had come and gone. Along with the Cotronis.

Montreal is a whole city, not another neighborhood. It really is closer to something Like Rome or Eastern Sicily. Or maybe Europe in general.

Yes very European Montreal is still attracting more French expats and also a big Italian diaspora.

i think the 19 member list of bonnanos was always more held to by american mafia reporters and fbi. for years in media and books canadian mob reporters knew better and tried to say as much but was mostly drowned out. this ties into the overall confusion about the structure and power of the rizzuto crime family...but i digress. in the case of valiquette and i think we can say this continues in mtl, there is a haste to place someone in a cell, faction, crew etc and its almost always based on dated incorrect info. the genesis of whom took out valiquette is a perfect example. first reports all stated that valiquette was murdered on orders of vito rizzuto because he was a close associate of raynald desjardins. with valiquette being french even i agreed that this scenario could make sense. then in weeks after into 2014 the theory changed, valiquette not a desjardins associate but still hit by the rizzutos, to finally info from the scoppa book states valiquette along with tonino callochia had partnered up and stefano sollecito was their connect to the rizzuto faction. the 3rd theory from this book is valiqutte was a bigtime loanshark and in control of 'the book.' scoppa goes on to state collochia and sollecito were borrowing money from him with no intent to pay him back and then had him murdered. it also turns out if we are to believe scoppa that it was valiquette who was behind the attempt on desjardins in sept 2011, an attempt most everyone pinned on either montagna or the remnants of the rizzutos.

as far as what territory specifically i recall from media articles them mentioning that valiquette had territory in R.D.P. he and callochia along with marco pizzi and darrel van elk appear to be working together at this point to import and distribute cocaine. pizzi remains in control of R.D.P. today so we could stretch and say he inherited territory once held by valiquette and callochia. i mention van elk because he met with valiquette the night he was murdered, van elks territory looks to be in west mtl. it is possible valiquette et al were beefing with giuseppe devitos group at that time. devito was imprisoned circa sept 2011 but he had no shortage of men on the street acting for him. R.D.P. was his territory for drug distribution and he was in alliance with desjardins. so a theory could be that upon desjardins rising to the apex of crime in mtl at some point in late 2010 early 2011 he had begun taxing the remaining associates and members left in mtl. valiquette then could have had 2 reasons to take out desjardins, a street tax he didnt want to pay and perhaps valiquette thought with desjardins gone it would help ease things with the devito crew. only possible theories nothing set in stone, early yet 2nd coffee coming up.
