Montreal Body Count

Post by OcSleeper »

I was hoping to make a list for all the murders involved in the Montreal Mafia War. I have about 50 or so names already but need some help organizing them into Rizzuto Allies and Rizzuto Enemies. So point out any mistakes, or people I missed. I compiled the list mostly from new articles  and books including the new Scoppa book. I also noticed a conflicting topic from Scoppa. He said the Gervasi murder was done by De Vito. But in an Montreal Gazette article (that ill link below) it says during Project Coliseé the police had sources who said De Vito worked directly under gervasi and was upset by the fact he was murdered and even stopped paying tribute. So I cant see him being the killer.
http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/sla ... story.html

In my list I have a few points about each guy and anything that came from Scoppa will be underlined.
Most of the Ontario killings I have under unknown. Simply because there's some Siderno Group connected guys and they supposedly had their own internal beef.

Anyways heres my list

Re: Montreal Body Count

Post by motorfab »

I found this chart a few years ago which appeared in "La Presse". It dates from 2013, a little before the murder of Moreno Gallo. The list also contains attempted murders, which is why Tony Mucci is on it, while he is alive and well today.

Image

Translation :

Before Vito's arrest

-Period 1 The fall of the Calabrians: the fall of the Violi clan, who had taken over from the Cotronis at the head of the Montreal mafia, began with the murder of Pietro Sciara in 1976, a Sicilian who had joined forces with the Calabrian. It took a few years for the police to identify Nicolo Rizzuto as the town's new godfather.

-Period 2 The turmoil: the extermination of the Violi clan gave rise to a period of instability during which the Cotronis tried to save what remained to them of activity, to avenge their deaths, or to settle their scores. It is the last start of the Calabrian, eclipsed by the Sicilians from the 80s.

- Period 3 The ice cream war: the Sicilians came to power not smoothly as they sought the monopoly of certain sectors, notably Italian ice cream (gelati) and cold meats.

-Period 4 The biker war: according to police documents, several murders committed within the mafia during the 90s would be collateral damage of the biker war which opposed the Hell's Angels to the Rock Machine and which made more than 160 dead.

After Vito's arrest:

2005-2006 the flood
2007-2008 the revolt
2008-2010 the fall of the Sicilians
2011 the war and the return
2012-2013 the return

Disclaimer: These figures have been compiled following extensive research in archives, police documents and other sources: they are not exhaustive. The Press compiled 40 murders before the arrest of Vito Rizzuto but these were committed over a period of 27 years, compared to the 50 murders over a period of 9 years after the arrest of the godfather in 2004. On the latter murders , about forty are directly linked to the Italian mafia, according to our research. Several murders committed during these periods have other motives including classic mob hits, turf battles and purges within the same clan. The Press considered certain kidnappings or disappearances in recent years to be murders. La Presse has listed nearly 80 murders, attempted murders, kidnappings or disappearances linked to Montreal organized crime from January 2004 to the present day [thus shortly before November 2013], but only the names of those we consider to be the main victims have been entered. on the lists above. The names appear under the clans to which the victims belonged at the time of the attack, but may have since changed.

Just a remark OcSleeper, Giuseppe Renda was a nephew of Gerlando Sciascia, he wasn't a relative of Paolo Renda

Great thread but I'm not sure I agree that Dominic Macri should be listed under "Rizzuto enemies". Was he really a "Montagna supporter"? He was killed a few years before Montagna was even deported to Montreal. What I've read before (think it was in one of the books on Rizzuto) was that Macri was most likely killed in revenge for Bertolo, and that the main target was Compare Frank Arcadi who was in the car ahead of Macri. Didn't Arcadi lay low after that? I vaguely remember that he and Renda were caught on the Cosenza bug discussing this murder and how Arcadi should leave the country for a while. Maybe I'm mixing this all up with another murder but I don't think so. The situation is so murky in Montreal that it's hard sometimes to figure out who exactly is on which side....or even how many "sides" there really are!

No indeed, the murder of Macri is probably a retaliation for the murder of Bertolo. Macri was an associate of Francesco Acardi, I doubt he was a supporter of Montagna

Ahh you're right now relation. Thought I read he was the brother. I've corrected it now.

Another mistake by me. I think while making it I put "Montagna supporter" under him by accident. Then when I organized the list I threw him under enemies. Corrected it now though.

I think it mostly depends on sales, like the book Mafia Inc.

All you have to do is learn the most beautiful language in the world guys :mrgreen: ! (or read CabriniGreen's thread)

Re: Montreal Body Count

Post by Ciro_DiMarzio »

Nice list. Its crazy theres probably more bodies in the last 2 years than the previous 20 for all American families.

Does anyone have a total hit list for the entire 90s across all American families? I've seen threads for post 2000 but nothing entirely based on the 1990s hits.
