It's starting to seem more and more like there's a pretty good chance the HA didn't hit Del Balso afterall and were legitimately backing him against Rizzuto for control of sports betting. Del Balso gets snipered in front of an HA gym and all the HA and their French Haitian shooters showed up to his funeral. If they killed Del Balso, would ALL their main guys have attended his funeral and hung out with his wife and kids? Maybe they'd have sent a representative or two but their whole team?
Excerpt from the first article posted above:
"According to our sources, the group of Martin Robert and the Rizzuto clan of the Montreal mafia are currently in conflict for the control of illegal sports betting in Quebec, historically controlled by Sicilians for decades.
It would be in the context of this conflict that the youngest son of the former godfather of the mafia, Leonardo Rizzuto, would have been the victim of an attempted murder on highway 440 in Laval."
Previously Lapresse.ca was reporting that the police there thought the HA had set Del Balso up and now its changed to this...
If that’s true, that Rizzuto is taking on the Hells, then the past few months in Montreal has been even more insane that I previously thought. I mean, the absolute stones on the Rizzuto clan for going to war against the bikers.
I know the sportsbook was previously controlled by the Sicilians, but I can’t believe the Rizzutos have enough unity and enough manpower to fight the HA. Maybe Cabrini is right, that the Hells aren’t all united and the Rizzutos see an opening to splinter them.
