Major bust in Montreal

[dixiemafia]

I admit it took this for me to finally admit Leonardo Rizzuto has a hand in day to day operations now. Things will get interesting for Raynald Desjardins now, he's had to have heard about this by now. Will be interesting to see how long he lives too, I think he is a dead man walking now.

Those arrested:

Leonardo Rizzuto
Stefano Sollecito
Mom Boucher
Gregory Woolley
Sal Cazzetta
Loris Cavaliere

Things def stay interesting up there.

Mr. Woolley was a loyal figure in Mr. Boucher's entourage but could not become a full-fledged member of the Hells Angels because he is black.

Never heard of this. Is this a rule throughout all chapters of the Hells Angels?

[dixiemafia]

Yes.

But he is so close to Mom Boucher he might as well be an HA though. He used to serve as his bodyguard when he was out. Best way to put it, he's the Jimmy Burke of the Hells Angels. He's one of them but he isn't.

[Mukremin]

So the Rizzutos are still fighting for control? After reading the latest book about them i am left with some questions. Desjardins is still in jail for the murder on Montagna. Whats the situation on the street and the relation with Ontaria and Ndrangheta

[dixiemafia]

No, the Rizzuto's still have control. I imagine the Desjardins guys are doing the firebombings.

By the way, Desjardins already pleaded guilty for murder conspiracy in relation to the Montagna murder. He will be sentenced on December 21st. The others will be tried in January, but they can't say who is charged (even though we pretty much know) along with a publication ban until trial. We might know more once the trial starts.

As for the others I don't know much about with the Ndrangheta etc.

As far as the situation on the streets, my best guess is this:

Boss-Leonardo Rizzuto
Underboss-Stefano Sollecito
Consigliere-Rocco Sollecito

The Sollecito's are well known Rizzuto allies and Rocco stayed behind them even after the attack on them after Vito went to prison. I think they might be tied by marriage as well so this is definitely still Rizzuto held at the top of the family. I had some doubts about Leonardo until this, but he had many dealings with his father even when he was a legit lawyer.

[Mukremin]

Thank you for the info dixiemafia, i appreciate it. The Sollecitos were mentioned in the book too, they were the only ones left really.
So where does Vitos mother live nowadays? Few pages in the book mentioned her role in the organizations

[dixiemafia]

Rizzuto moved from Antoine-Berthelt Avenue in Montreal (Rizzuto Row it was called) to Western Laval in St. Dorothee. Lives beside some golf course. Not sure if his Mom still lives on Rizzuto Row or not.

I have never seen a black Hells Angel?
Looks like the Mob and the Hells Angels have an open contract on Desjardins. Not long before someone fulfills it in prison. More then likely he will be moved to protective custody though.

[Mukremin]

Or maybe he will be back with the regular prisoners like Pony tail. Desjardins doesnt seem a guy that runs, he must have some sort of protection in prison from friends or allies?

Great article but the charge of "gangsterism" is so fucking gay. Can't Canada come up with a better term?

[JCB1977]

Rizzuto moved from Antoine-Berthelt Avenue in Montreal (Rizzuto Row it was called) to Western Laval in St. Dorothee. Lives beside some golf course. Not sure if his Mom still lives on Rizzuto Row or not.

Isn't she in the same house that Vito was living in?

[dixiemafia]

She actually lived next door to them JCB, last I seen they had the house on the market so I assume his Mom is still there or has since moved.

As for Desjardins and the mafia and HA's having a contract on them, they are one in the same. Remember the HA's do a LOT of business with the Rizzuto's. And you're right, Desjardins is not the type to run or flip. I imagine he took the plea to give him time behind bars and get ready to attack when he gets out. He's the type that he'll have to be killed so he really has nothing to lose at this point but to hope to kill Rizzuto and both Sollecito's.
