Lots of interesting stuff in the above two articles:
- A group called the 'Federation' was formed in late 2020
- Allied with the Rizzutos, the Federation's goal was to murder members of the Hells Angels and push them out of Montreal
- Silva gave the group its name, and said it consisted of four 'generals' who supervised their own hit teams
- Three of the four generals were Silva, Gregory Woolley, and Samy Tamouro
- The generals would share resources, intelligence, and jointly finance bonuses for the successful completion of contracts
- Each contract was worth over $100,000
- The generals also communicated to make sure they weren't all going after the same targets
- The Rizzutos relied on the Federation for its eyes and ears, and Silva considered himself a 'wall' protecting the Rizzutos
- The Federation had a list of people to kill, which included 'individuals linked to the Calabrian mafia'
- Before forming the Federation, Silva had allied with Woolley, Tamouro, and others to kill former members of the Rockers as well as former members of the Rock Machine who had joined the Hells Angels
- Rock Machine member-turned-Hells Angel André Sauvageau was poisoned with fentanyl
- Woolley asked Silva to pass a message in prison to Maurice Boucher to let him know they killed Savageau as a favour to him (Boucher)
- Silva organised the $250,000 contract on Ducarme Joseph and 'became a member of the Rizzuto family the next day'
- Silva referred to Leonardo Rizzuto as 'the flag, the prince, and the bank' of the Rizzutos
- When he flipped in 2022, Silva told investigators that the Rizzutos no longer made 'men of honour' and the war between the Calabrians and Sicilians still wasn't over
