being from montreal i can say with alot of certainty that the cotroni name doesnt mean a whole lot up here anymore. frank cotroni jr son is said to be an up an comer, but he's considered a punk, like growing up gotti kids

yea i'd love to read it. it depends as in if someone's last name is actually cotroni or just an old ally.. di maulo would be considered a controni mobster. i'd like to read article your talking about to see.
but good info

Word is out on the streets Cotronis take reigns in Montreal


"as I posted on the biker forum the rock machine showing up at Chez paree night club was not A show of strength to the hells. They were there to pay hommage to the new Calabrian boss and chez paree has always been cotronis family Headquarters. From what I`ve heard its Frank jr(from quite a few people in the loop) but I wouldnt be suprisede if Nick cotroni was boss. Nothing official but I started hearing the rumours last week now the rock machine(who no one ever thought would return because of there near extermination by the rizzuto backed hells angels) show up at cotronis headquarters a few days later and make a big show of it. So I tend to believe it now that the cotronis are back on top. But please take it with a grain of salt I`m new here and i`m not looking for an argument but merely trying to get the rumour out as it may answer what has been a looming question since the the rizzuto purge began(and toronto played a big part with supplying some of the finer wetwork aswell) so I`m stating this as opinion and rumour not fact."

Maverik PM IVY league and he will be able to get you into the real deal forum so you can see the rest of the thread.

everyting is still up in the air up here. dont forget vito rizzuto is getting out of jail in a couple of months and will be back. i dont know if he's just gonig to go quietly into the good night

Actually there is quite a long thread over on the realdeal forum posted by a very credible individual( an author of one of the books you sighted for proof) claiming high ranking Mafioso and bikers alike were coming to the Cotroni headquarters to pay tribute which is indicative that they actually are major players and that there name actually does carry more weight than most if not all.

I will cut and past the article here as long as it is not a rules violations.

i'm a little curious as to why only now people are saying controni. when this all started after nick jr was killed and locals decided rizzuto's were finished, the top calabrians turned out to be di maulo,mirarchi ( and desjardins). wherre were the cotroni's this whole time?

I'm not sure if that guy who started that topic was an author, but this is the article it was about:

he was violi's right hand man for a long time. he's usually associated with the calabrian faction is all i mean

i would argue both. he went with violi to new york to elect rastelli as boss in the 1970's

but you get what im trying to say. when describing the facttions fighting in montreal. you had sicilian (montagna,arcuri, lopresti, pietrantonio) and calabrian (di maulo, dejardins, mirarchi)

i forget where i read, maybe in one of the french papers up here that milioto's family comes from same village in sicily as rizzuto.
