THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Cheers for info guys much appreciated:)

In terms of casualties, I think that the Montreal wars certainly rank in third position in terms of number of killings in the mafia of North America. So far, since 2004 (the year Vito Rizzuto was arrested), there have been roughly over 30 dead persons. Attempts murders are not included.

Amato wasn't with nastasi at all , he was killed when Larry mazza was trying to kill Joey tolino , he's another that can be added to the wounded list . He was shot in the foot but didn't die , tolino was mistaken for Nicky grancio

Here is a great thread on the Colombo War that B. Posted a while back. Has a lot of good info on the plots and attempts during the war.

Do you have victim lists and/or body counts for those wars? thanks

He was asking about NY.


Pogo

The Montreal mob war has gotta be up there now , dozens of murders

It would have to be the Castellammarese War. The Colombo War was pretty bloody too with 2 civilians being killed and I believe others being wounded.

What was the deadliest Mafia war in New York, in terms of casualties?

Cheers.
