as both threads currently on the go pertaining to MTL MAFIA have become threads to post up to date articles of the daily chaos in that city and our opinions and thoughts accordingly. i thought i would post an attempt here to show where some of the influential and oft mentioned leaders align themselves. it looks like a 2 sided war going on between the RIZZUTO/SOLLECITO FACTION on one side and the ROBERT/PLOUFFE FACTION on the other. there obviously is influential OC members that we dont yet know where there allegiance lies.
MAY 2023 THE RIZZUTO/SOLLECITO FACTION
RIZZUTO CELL LEADER 1.LEONARDO RIZZUTO members 2. liborio cuntrera 3.charlie renda 4. nicola spagnolo
SOLLECITO CELL LEADER 1.STEFANO SOLLECITO members 2. francesco sollecito 3. giuseppe sollecito 4. mario sollecito 5. vito salvaggio 6. pietro d'adamo 7. desiderio pompa
other allied groups/leaders 1. SALVATORE CAZZETTA (H.A.)-South chapter, FULL PATCH. -with the rumor of his alleged retirement to now knowing of the switch to the south chapter it could be alleged that cazzetta is not on side with whatever ROBERT/PLOUFFE et al are up to. Cazzetta has a long time connection to this faction of the MAFIA.
2. GREGORY WOOLLEY - not known if woolley leads his own OC group or is now a high level associate of the R/S FACTION. members 3. jean winsing barthelus 4. jean philippe celestin
notes: the above of course cannot show all known members or associates that may be allied with this faction. this represents a possible core group of consistently mentioned OC leaders and known close members/associates. grand total of 15.
MAY 2023 UNKNOWN ALLEGIANCE ?
1. francesco arcadi 2. vittorio mirarchi - for both above i will not speculate on possible associates/members. both arcadi and mirarchi have been very quiet since there respective releases from prison.
focarazzo cell leader 1. giuseppe focarazzo - based in laval and has been referenced as a "link" between the R/S FACTION and the HA. for this reason alone it makes it hard to nail down where he and his cell would align. the same can be said for 2 members below. both daze and lavie have past and current dealings with HA. members 2. martin daze 3. frederic lavie
barberio/pizzi cell leaders 1. davide barberio 2. marco pizzi - there is debate as to if this is one cell, 2 cells partnered up, who leads it or if both do in somehow. there is a consensus though that these 2 are working together to control R.D.P. and mtl north. barberio has been described as a "street boss" of some kind responsible for settling disputes at street level amongst different OC groups. i will say at this point that title is in doubt considering first his attempted murder in 2021 and the state of affairs on the street. barberios word is clearly not being listened to anymore that much is for sure. also the numerous arsons recently against barberio/pizzi and their families/businesses gives us no clear indication what side they fall on. no one if any that have been arrested for these crimes points an arrow clearly at either side. 3. erasmo crivello
oliverio-lopez cell leader 1. serafino oliverio members 2. franco lopez 3. giuseppe lopez 4. pasquale lopez - the 3 nephews of serafino listed above are clear of all charges relating to proj magot/mastiff arrests. all charges dropped 2019. the cell is believed to operate in the mtl north area as well. no good evidence yet showing relation to the barberio/pizzi cell. possible both cells work together to control territory or subsequent attempted murders of barberio and then oliverio were tit for tat shootings.
HA trois rivieres chapter leader 1. mario brouillette -has long been considered a respected figure across the OC landscape in mtl/quebec. it is alleged he no longer holds full patch status and this is possible. it is also a long used ploy by HA to throw off police. in an article dated just last week brouillette has been described as being an arbiter between these 2 FACTIONS. perhaps brouillette has taken on the "street boss" role. associates 2.aurele brouillette-father (D.R. chapter, FULL PATCH) -important to note as the d.r. chapter was founded by the trois rivieres chapter. the d.r. is an important source for cocaine exports entering canada/mtl. 3. carmelo sacco (released: mar. 18 2021) - sacco at time of 2018 arrest was described as a high level producer and trafficker of methamphetamine with links to HA and MAFIA. upon his release sacco was informed that his life was in danger.
1. salvatore brunetti (MTL chapter, FULL PATCH) -long time OC figure with connections all over the place. has been described as a longtime friend of salvatore cazzetta. brunetti remains a member in mtl chapter. for this reason alone i place his name here.
notes: all i will say here is that if you just take the 3 mafia cells total numbers and switch there allegiance either way it can provide a faction with a significant amount of extra man power and resources. its only 10 members but again this only represents the high profile names constantly mentioned. just moving the 10 to R/S FACTION makes it 25 a not insignificant number. that also is not including arcadi or mirarchi and whoever may be in there respective organizations etc.
MAY 2023 ROBERT/PLOUFFE FACTION HA MONTREAL CHAPTER LEADERS 1. MARTIN ROBERT- FULL PATCH 2. STEPHANE PLOUFFE- FULL PATCH - i can find no separation between the 2 as far as an overall leader, most evidence would suggest robert being more influential and powerful. associates 3.mathieu desjardins-son of raynald - is reported to be involved in a legal loan company under protection of robert. this one detail may prove telling. 4.johnny fuoco - saint sauveur drug territory manager. 5. rheal dallaire - has past financial dealings with RIZZUTO and SOLLECITO dating to 2019/2020. was arrested recently in same sweep that also included; robert, plouffe, fuoco, lamontagne and del balso. 6. sharon simon (mother-in-law to robert) - simon remains to be influential on the kanesatake reserve with plans to begin construction of a casino on property she owns. having married her daughter in 2018 this would solidify connections to aboriginal OC groups on reserve.
HA 7. michael lamontagne- full patch 8. gilles lambert-full patch - alleged to be involved in both sports gambling and cocaine trafficking. was also recently arrested as part of same drug investigation targeting robert et al mentioned above. 9. david lefebvre-full patch -controls drug territory in; sw island of mtl, vaudreuil and salaberry-de-valleyfield. lefebvre also sponsored the formation of minotaurs mc in 2017 who are believed to have taken over drug territory in hoch-mais, rosemont and east mtl once belonging to gregory woolley. 10. rob barletta-full patch -new full patch in mtl chapter (2022?). long involved in illegal sports gambling in ontario most recently proj hobart/proj sindicato 2019 allied with the figliomeni 'ndrine. if barletta remains allied or connected to the figliomeni that is another angle to all this to consider. 11. vincent boulanger-full patch (chapter secretary) associate 12. seeyomak salemi-seifoddin -has been described as a influential member in middle east OC in city working with boulanger to control drug trafficking.
MAFIA 13. francesco del balso 14. antonio pietrantonio - not much i can add to the 2 above. both have been under protection of or allied with ROBERT/PLOUFFE for a couple years now.
notes: although this faction falls number wise 1 short of the R/S FACTION that barely matters and is pure coincidence. a full patch HA can have control of multiple cells slinging drugs over vast areas of mtl and quebec. when looking at some of the names above they have been connected to exactly that.
as always all thoughts, questions, comments, corrections are welcome.

reviving this thread for a question that has been gnawing at me for a while.
can we consider pietro d'adamo a current leader in the MTL MAFIA or is he a soldier/associate...or anything
-many media reports state that he is "the current strongman" of lasalle...whatever that means. i dont know where this title comes from? d'adamo has never been arrested or charged with any crime relating back to a controlled territory in or around the lasalle quebec area. furthermore no other members of the MTL MAFIA or known associates have been arrested or charged in last 10 years at the least for any crime relating back to the lasalle area. - there is crime in lasalle, it may even be organized to some extent but most current arrests connect back to the hells angels or street gangs. - d'adamo has been arrested and convicted for importing cocaine on a large scale in the past related to charges stemming from project colisee (2006). -d'adamo has in his past been connected to members of the WEST END GANG through the now deceased laramee bros. both brothers were murdered in july 2013 making that connection mute. following the murders of the laramees 2 connected drug networks were busted. i do not know if any of those arrested in 2013 are still criminally active. -the only name that pops up is one lawrence cooney who was arrested for drug trafficking and gun possession in 2022. but i can find no links between the two. -i bring up the alleged connect to W.E.G. only because d'adamo is still in 2023 linked to members of W.E.G. d'adamo is still linked to a group that by all accounts does not exist. i say does not exist in the historical context of the WEST END GANG. a criminal group who at one time had control of port of MTL for import of narcotics.
to wrap up why are we to believe that pietro d'adamo still maintains any of these old outdated connections. is he the new leader of a cell of W.E.G.? is he a leader in MAFIA? is d'adamo anything but a soldier/member or even associate in MTL MAFIA?
any and all comments, thoughts, insults appreciated. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2019/12/09/le-clan-des-rizzuto-revient-en-forceFYI..........I stumbled on this article dated Dec.9, 2019. They got D'Adamo down as the Boss of LaSalle. Here is an excerpt. "The police also had a glimpse of Sollecito's influence at the end of last October, during his birthday party in an Italian restaurant in the North Crown. In addition to his usual court formed by Leonardo Rizzuto and Vito Salvaggio, the mafia leader also received a visit from the boss of LaSalle, Pietro D'Adamo, and Giuseppe Focarazzo, the pivot between the Italians and the Hells Angels. "

Itd be great if investigators and reporters would produce a map of the city divided into areas of influence / factions. Think that would be a very cluttered map with lots of overlap. Take Montreal Northeast you have Davide Barberio Serafino Oliverio Marci Pizzi and Francesco Del Balso and those guys also have areas in Laval and Laval is probably a even bigger melting pot with everyone. But I agree it would be cool to see. There is also major French faction Desjardins is stilll the man! Is there though? Vittorio Mirarchi and his italian guys made up the majority of his muscle during the alliance and falling out with Sal Montagna. I can't think of any names that would fall into a French Canadian faction or who would even be supporting him now if the falling out between him and Vittorio Mirarchi is true. I think he's currently under Hells Angels protection.

I think he's currently under Hells Angels protection. French guys made up a large part of the "bikers" in Quebec and others are affiliated with the "Mafia".

Of course but I wouldn't throw them into a French Canadian faction the bikers are bikers.
And speaking of Raynald Desjardins and who his faction might be we haven't heard anything about those Spryfield Mob guys who came in from Nova Scotia that were said to be working for him and provided him protection in jail.

When they say importers.....do they actually mean wholesalers? You arnt an importer if you are paying 20k plus for a kilo. That's a wholesale price..no? With that 27 - 40k, 50k range being the resale price to distributors? I remember Scoppa talking about paying 40k a kilo. Making 2k a kilo, on the resale for 42k. That is NOT an importer, unless I'm super out of touch with prices. You got the contacts to reach into South America its gotta be under 6k a kilo. In Mexico, or the DR, it's historically been about 10k a kilo. This is why I see the Violis as major players, the Colombian connections. With the Mexicans present in Canada now, the only way I see you get around them is a direct line to South America. I don't think the Caruanas- Cuntreras still have those favorable contacts, I believe the Bonnanos interest in the Violis lies in these contacts. The Ndrangheta guys with the Mexican connects, unless I'm mistaken, were expelled from the Toronto Crimine, and, maybe, POSSIBLY, replaced by the seemingly more subservient Bonvonta clan. I don't think the mafia are still the power in the drug business. A POWER. But no longer, THE POWER.
