Last night there was a shooting at Il funghetto restaurant in Woodbridge, I’m not sure anyone was shot but they shot many times into the windows it looks like. They play cards upstairs, nothing on the news yet. The place is still cordoned off by cops and police tape

On June 4, there were 2 incidents considered related to each other by York Regional Police — in the second, a seller of an item
advertised online was in a parking lot at Greenpark and Weston when they were shot with a gun by the “buyer.” This parking lot seems to be either close to Il Funghetto or in the direct vicinity.

Ya there is a lot of shit going down in that area. Last week cops crashed into a car full of drug dealers or something there. Probably unrelated, there are lots of punks around, but of course mafia hq is basically that area as well.

Looks as though the sous-chef and the restaurant manager at Il Funghetto have roots in Naples. The owner-chef, Angelo, likely didn't want his surname published on the restaurant website. Smart man. ;)

Since they put all those condos there nearby in Jane and hwy 7 it brought a lot of different kinds of people to the Vaughan area.

Is it saying Gerace was near the center-top of a Buffalo Family organizational chart or an organizational chart of the drug operation?
[/quote]

Looks like it is a chart of the DTO according to the government’s Response in Opposition to the Defendant’s motion for a Judgement of Acquittal… Also some interesting information about his alleged involvement with Russians.

Bongiovanni asks judge to set aside convictions: 'Core part of the government’s story was rejected'

Ronald Serio, drug trafficker who first mentioned Bongiovanni to investigators, gets two years in prison

If it's a Buffalo Family chart, it would likely be implying Gerace was listed as a captain (I think it's entirely plausible Gerace is at least made) but if it's a drug or operational OC chart it would mean he's higher up in the chain of the particular operation being investigated, which is going to be a given regardless of his formal position.

I can’t gauge the context… It does say it is a case related to OC, but that could mean the DTO, an Outlaw MC, IOC or any combination thereof. I hope to get this DEA agents testimony when it is released. Maybe it will shed some light.

Does anyone remember the name of the Sicilian restaurant owner in Buffalo who was indicted for selling cocaine and (I believe) messing around with a minor some years back? When I looked into him it seemed he was from Agrigento and his surname shows up in the Sicilian mafia there.

Also does anyone know who the guy is on the far left? He's an American who visited Montallegro with the Todaros, curious if he's a relative. There are other photos of them with who I presume to be Sicilian relatives.

B. was it Filippo Inglima. He has owned restaurants and has faced deportation to Italy for abuse of a 13 year old girl. I believe he was involved in the Amoia, Vacanti, Piccione, [color=#FF0000]Gambino drug business[/color] and if I remember correctly worked at the Lovejoy Bar and Grill that was burned to the ground-but that could have been one of the Piccione’s.

It appears that Peter Gerace was involved in this drug ring. At Gerace's trial, a closing argument transcript reveals that a DEA agent obtained a 2008 chart where Peter is pictured to have a high position. That chart was received from homeland security by BPD and then to the DEA agent. (This is likely the organization of the DTO, but we don't know for sure from this testimony. This chart could relate to the organization of this DTO, some other organized crime group, or some combination thereof.)

The DEA's agent's testimony was that Bongiovanni was going to see if he could flip Gerace cause he knew him from the neighborhood, but in actuality was protecting him.

Here is a relevant portion of the transcript:

Here is where Inglima is sentenced:

Here are those who were indicted in the David Gambino drug operation on 11/18/2009: David Gambino (1) count(s) 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 17, 18-22, 35, Filippo Inglima (2) count(s) 2, 3, 4, 17, 35, David Heidt (3) count(s) 2, 3, 8-9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 23-33, 35, Patrick Higgins (4) count(s) 2, 3, 4, 15, 35, Javier Feliciano (5) count(s) 2, Patrick Callea, Jr (6) count(s) 2, 3, Salvatore Tafarella (7) count(s) 2, 3, Dana Iser (8) count(s) 2, Steven Godinho (9) count(s) 2, 5-7, Jonathon Schiavone (10) count(s) 2, Jason Schiavone (11) count(s) 2, 34, David Koch (12) count(s) 2, Rosalie Toth (13) count(s) 2, Dwayne Brinson (14) count(s) 2, Timothy Higgins (15) count(s) 2, Jason Brennan (16) count(s) 2, 18-22, Richard Foose (17) count(s) 2, 26-29, Dennis Heidt (18) count(s) 2, 24-25, Veronica Irene (19) count(s) 2, 12, 30, Jonathan Sawulak (20) count(s) 2, 23, Mark Plauman (21) count(s) 2, 31-33, James Aronica (22) count(s) 2, Peter Danna (23) count(s) 2, Salvatore Montana (24) count(s) 2. (DR) (Entered: 11/20/2009)

If you will recall that posters on the now defunct Topix Forum allege that David Gambino along with a couple Amoia's helped hide the gun that was allegedly used by Sam Vacanti to murder Monty Massimi in 2007.

I plan to get DEA Agent Chris Wisiewski's transcipt when it is released.
