Also i would be curious who if anyone Leonardo met with while in Cattolica Eraclea.
I.E. Domenico Terrasi,Giuseppe Mormina...

It would be rather stange if they didn't met anyone over there. Cosa Nostra from Agrigento remains strong. It is no longer military, but it has essential characteristics that are still respected. The Dia report on the first half of 2019 showed that the consortium needs a boss and at the same time an already top management is free. Pretty similar to Montreal situation.

VENDETTA

Meaning if everything since Rizzuto release and death has been in alignment with the deal struck, regarding Vendetta. Rizzuto himself getting specific names.

I don’t know personally, but a lot of stuff has happened since. If this Vendetta is over, how couldn’t there be new ones now??

The new peace or stability may indicate, yes, if so, it will be whatever Cupola 2.0(whatever it is) I assume it’s the perfect mix, really mafiosi, totally control, but equal table. Similar to how Montreal was with co-operative. Most likely through Southern Italy and it’s networks internationally.

It got me thinking about the cartel thread, that if something like this, could fill the void in Mexico as well?

Seems french reporters use this term it could be a translation error but the term that should be used for MTL mafia is cells.

Sharon Simon’s house was set on fire.

A suspicious fire has destroyed a luxury home in Kanesatake

Is she a relative of the woman who is married to HA Martin Robert, world HA from Montreal?

She is Robert’s mother-in-law.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification.

sharon simon was for a time also involved w/ sergio picciralli of the devils ghosts both were arrested at same time 2006.
Project Cleopatra in QC.

Rizzuto family remains in control as the Bloody Montreal Mafia War comes to an end

https://aboutthemafia.com/rizzuto-f...loody-montreal-mafia-war-comes-to-an-end

That war has been said to be over more than once, let's see where they stand in a year or two.

But who is left that could actually be a threat? Mirarchi was probably their biggest threat that was on the streets and now he's working with them. Desjardins is dead as soon as he's freed unless he pulls a Tony Magi and drive around with the secret service protecting him. The Scoppa's are dead and 2/3 of the group fighting them on the other side is dead (Montagna and Desjardins with Mirarchi being the only one to live it seems)

There is nobody else in Montreal that could take things over at this point other than the Rizzuto's. I never believed for a minute that the HA's were in control, the Sicilians have the routes locked down in Canada...

Domenico Terrasi, 75, the boss of Cattolica Eraclea crime family just died; he was released from prison on February 2018, police headquarters banned public funerals.

well Leonardo i suppose could have been meeting w/ the new boss on his recent trip to sicily???

Tweet from TVA nouvelles @tvanouvelles:

8:30 PM · Feb 20, 2020

«LA PIEUVRE» | Le clan Rizzuto est loin d’être mort. Bien au contraire. Il brasse toujours des dizaines de millions de dollars au Québec. Sous le nez des autorités, il infiltre toujours l’économie légale.

Le reportage de @felixseguin et @JE_enquete est à 21h, à @TVAreseau

https://twitter.com/tvanouvelles/status/1230665944210362368?s=20

^^^^
The TV broadcast stated that the mafia in Montreal currently consists of 13 “clans.” Leonardo Rizzuto heads a group of 19 people.

An intelligence report from Project Estacade revealed that Rizzuto was the new parrain of the mafia in Montreal. For that particular investigation, the media reported on the first arrests at the beginning of February 2017.

The TV program identified Stefano Sollecito as a street boss.

The 18 other people in Rizzuto’s cell are as follows:

• Stefano Sollecito
• Loris Cavaliere
• Francesco Sollecito
• Mario Sollecito
• Giuseppe Sollecito
• Vincenzo Spagnolo
• Nicola Spagnolo
• Vito Salvaggio
• Marco Pizzi
• Gino Costantini
• Liborio Cuntrera
• David Barberio
• ______ Ragusa (at the moment I can’t make out the first name)
• Carmelo Cannistraro
• Steven Di Paola
• Steve Vogl (the program referred to him as the money man)
• Antonio Cinquino
• Domenico Salerno

‪Mafia: l’Italie fait la leçon au Québec:

Strong criticism from Italian authorities Quebec is too soft against the mafia.

That seems like a thin roster, or is that only made men. Francesco Acardi??

Yeah, they probably consider the Acardi-Del Balso cell/clan seperate from the Rizzutos. Also four Sollecito brothers?

yeah,lots to pick apart in that report.
makes sense w/ Leonardo BOSS and Stefano street boss seems to be what most media and law enforcement have been reporting for years.
i have always been confused w/ loris cavaliere in that yes he was THE LINK between mafia,H.A. and street gangs in magot/mastiff bust but he has also acted as a lawyer for a wide range of criminals of all stripes over the years.also he was disbarred after serving sentence and now he is a stone cold G?
the mention of francesco among the other 2 sollecito bros is a new name.giuseppe had been arrested in 2008 as part of a follow up gambling bust linked to project colisee.however i don't think he ever served time paid a fine i think.mario has only been mentioned in passing as a sometimes golf partner of Vito and has been seen at funerals over the past few years.
the vincenzo spagnolo in the list could be nicola's brother as the father was murdered in 2016.a vincenzo spagnolo jr had been seen on the charter of companies in the bar/cafe business,but he doesn't have an arrest record.
nicola spagnolo has long been a leading member of Rizzuto/Sollecito faction as well as vito salvaggio.
marco pizzi along w/ david barberio would be part of a cell in rivieres-des-prairies part of MTL w/ pizzi being the leader.
liborio cuntrera is considered to be a leading loanshark and senior member of faction having survived the decade long war.
carmelo cannistraro is a leader in the sports/illegal gambling in laval had once been under francesco del balso.
steve vogl has past arrests for drug trafficking in early 1990's and 2000's but is now involved in the grande wheel project in MTL trying to run a liquor concession but had been seen meeting w/ Vito before his death.
the blank ragusa could be referring to pat who is the son of emanuele ragusa who died 2018.pats sister eleonora was married to nick jr.
antonio cinquino was arrested for cocaine importation in 1993 i think but could find no further info.
as for gino constantini,steven di paola and domenico salerno i have no clue could find no relevant info anywhere...???

i also have questions about the french medias use of the term clans.i have a hard time believing that there r 13 mafia groups,clans,cells or crews whatever u want to call them of even 10 members each let alone 19 operating in MTL.i think of it as different factions as i don't yet believe that the mafia is united as one so called family.
so for example the Rizzuto/Sollecito faction could have3- 4 of these clans/cells working for it.
vittorio mirarchi could operate his own cell that is entirely independent of the R/S faction.
its more likely that these clans/cells consist of 3-5 core members w/ associates who come and go or come from different criminal groups for brief periods of time for select jobs/work.

Right on, the mentioning of Clan, really gives a European/Southern Italian flare/feeling. Out of all the cities in NA, Montreal is one of the most European feeling lol, maybe it’s more of marketing thing, sell papers, also get funding to police.

i guess,could just be a translation thing.
some names missing as mentioned above francesco arcadi and francesco del balso.
also missing:giuseppe focarazzo,pietro d'adamo,gianpietro tiberio,giuseppe torre,erasmo crivello,nino de bartolomeis???
so from report i would gauge that these men r not part of Rizzuto/Sollecito faction???

Forazacco and D'adamo are there....

Focarazzo I meant lol
