Thanks Vito.

That ended in 1999 with the murder of George from Canada, at least according to most people.

Two suspects arrested for mobster attack in city centre

"Following a three-month investigation, SPVM (Montreal police) investigators managed to apprehend two suspects, Karim Atay, 18, and Esteban Paoli-Sosa, 20"

I think their names and ages rule out the possibility that the remaining Rizzutos tried to hit or kidnap Tony Suzuki because he sided with the HA. And the attack was very amateur hour.

I think it was either a random mugging or maybe one of the gangs that the HA is feuding with tried to snatch him because he was known as a big importer.

Two arrested in attack on man with alleged ties to Montreal Mafia

Yet they can never catch the ones who actually paid for and ordered these murders. What happened to the Silva guy who was gonna bring everyone down? Eventually, they will consider him an unreliable witness and nothing will happen.

Another building was on fire. Two people killed, a mother and here 7 year old child.
Its the second time that a building of the owner was put on fire. Last year, one of his building was put on fire, and 7 people died.
It seem the owner his being extorted by gangs.

Victims of an extortion war?

A mother and her 7-year-old daughter died in the arson that devastated a heritage building in Old Montreal during the night of Thursday to Friday, La Presse learned. This heart-setting drama could be the most recent episode of a pizzo war engaged in three criminal groups, and of which the restaurateurs and barkeepers of the metropolis are the helpless victims.

Pizzo is the name given to the amount of money or "tax" that traders and entrepreneurs must pay to the mafia, in exchange for its protection. In reality, it is a form of extortion that, in Montreal and the surrounding area, is no longer exclusive to the mafia or motorcyclists.

While previously, establishments had to pay a pizzo to a single organization that controlled the place or sector, they are now targeted by two other gangs who want their share of the cake too, and make fun that the restaurant or bar is already "protected".

"The big difference within organized crime is that before, there was a certain understanding, bikers, the mafia and others were under the same umbrella. But now, what we see is that certain codes are no longer respected, "explains Sergeant Nicolas Giguère, of the Eclipse squad.

For example, protection rackets. Before, there was only one group that did that, and that group was under the umbrella in power. But now, there are places that are being extorted, set on fire or targeted by shots, by other players who are trying to appropriate this market. Before, there was only one gang that did that. Now there are three, and they have no respect for the organization that already controls or protects the place, "continues the sergeant.

The forces involved

The Eclipse police did not want to reveal the names of the gangs involved in this three-way fight, but according to our sources, it would be a group called Arab Power and gangs led by Atna Onha, alias Tupac, and Jean-Philippe Célestin, member of the Marauders, club-school of the Hells Angels of Montreal.

Three days ago Le Journal de Montréal reported that Arab Power is extremely violent and very imposing in the environment of the gangs on the streets.

Look like its between Ohna’s crew, Celestin’s crew and Arab Power.
All crips gangs.
The image of the suspect, look like the guy is arab.

Please don't be surprised if this gets cross-posted in several threads here.

Jack Simpson, who was among several individuals sentenced in the murder of Sal Montagna -- Simpson pulled the trigger -- is now a Hells Angels hangaround in the Trois-Rivières chapter.

La nouvelle recrue des Hells Angels a... 82 ans
Jack Simpson, un proche du caïd Raynald Desjardins, est devenu membre du club de motards ce week-end.

That’s interesting for sure. Kinda odd but as usual Montreal doesn’t disappoint

Haha when they hit Montagna back in 2011 I already thought he was linked to the 81.

https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2...ns-toujours-tres-proche-des-hells-angels

The boss Raynald Desjardins still very close to the Hells Angels
The criminal biker gang protected him in his conflict with the Rizzuto clan

Everytime I see a post saying he's in imminent danger.... I always get confused. I think people really think he's some kind of mafia flunkie. Or that he was just DiMaulos brother in law.

He was one of the top gangsters in Quebec for a reason. His power didn't come from the mafia. He was powerful in his own right, and this made him attractive as a partner WITH the mafia...

You're right, but he can still be hit. Anyone can be hit.

And it seems like the bikers have their own war with other gangs now, despite seeming all powerful just a few years ago. I'm not saying Reynald is absolutely going to get killed, but if he does, it wouldn't exactly be a surprise.

So let me get this straight

The Hells backed Del Baso
They are with Desjardins
They pushed Cazzetta from the Montreal chapter
They didn’t back Woolley and Boucher when they try to hit Desjardins
They asking a 10% tax on drugs, but the 10% is on the price during the pendamic.
So 10% on 60-70k de kilo, and not on the price of right now 10% on 20k.

Well the HA are really snakes, and they are a big part of all the problems in the province right now

First of all, criminal groups whether they are gangs, mafia or bikers are all snakes.

The problem in the Quebec province are the politicians that allow all this to happen. Cops arrest them, the judges release them and the politicians make promises they never keep.

The criminals have evolved to the point that it can now be categorized as terrorism. When you have homes being burned with women and children inside , places of businesses, cars also being burned; and others tortured , killed ,kidnapped or trafficked. You have anarchy.

This has been going on for quite some time now and cops have lost control.

Glad to see that you put the mafia as snakes in a forum with full of mafia enthusiasts.
All snakes all garbages

Wow the HA’s backing Raynald is definitely interesting, especially considering Boucher was ready to hit him in jail. Could explain how he’s lived this long but how long can his luck run?

And yea he’s definitely not a mob flunkie for sure. Dude is without a doubt one of the top non Italian gangsters in Montreal and has been that way for a long time but once again how long can the HA’s keep protecting him with a target on his back? If Sollecito/Rizzuto does not get things in gear up there the Sicilians will be wiped out for sure with this lack of action on their part. I don’t think they were behind Woolley’s death either, I think that was either the HA’s or the Arab’s at this point

Not really backing him but offering him protection. By the time Maurice Boucher was trying to hit Raybald Desjardins he was out of the Hells Angels in bad standing.

Woolley was their muscle and they were seen at his funeral so I'd say it's 100% they weren't behind his murder.

But I wouldn't say they've been lying down. They were probably behind Chit Del Balso's murder last year and it looks like Chit switched sides and allied with the HAs. That was a big hit, and very professionally done.

So many of the young guys adore Desjardins he's French one of them.

How do the civilians take all of this? The trash taking out itself?

Fire in Old Montreal: One of the two suspects arrested had just served a sentence for... arson

Mentioned in the article:

"The 20-year-old, suspected by the police of having lit the fire with an incendiary object, had just finished serving a nine-and-a-half-month prison sentence for another arson committed in Laval in April 2023.
He then set fire, along with other individuals, to the vehicle of Djamil Pizzi, the son of the influential mafioso Marco Pizzi."

Ontario trucker who hauled cartel's cocaine to Canada quietly pleads guilty in the U.S.

Seems as though the vast majority of these killings weren't even mob hits, so is it really a mob war? Be pretty badass if someone could make a list of murders that were actually confirmed to be Mafia hits vs the ones that aren't.
