On December 15, 2011 (at 22:56:12) - after the alleged murder on November 24, 2011 - D’Addario continued to transfer to Colapelle, intercepted messages from the Montagna clan, including the following excerpts:
…Anyway, the guy who got our friend he is french right? And # 1 yesterday was asking me about the capo our friend made over there. He wanted to know if you feel he is 100% with us. He said he’s just trying to figure out who is who because he said our friend never would have went to meeting unprepared unless he trusted the guy 100%. He just thought it was strange that the capo was away those couple of days. …Ok. We are going on whatever you tell us. If you trust the cap than so do we. We are just trying to make sure noone is playing both sides understand? The thing that don’t make sense to us is even if he trusted driver why go to see a guy who was accusing you of trying to get him and not going there with guys and being prepared incase of a settup. We knew our friend very well and it just doesn’t seem like something he would do. This guy was accusing him of trying to kill him. Why in the world would you go to a meeting alone?
Notes:
• Montagna was out in public at the wedding with one of the Arcuri brothers 9 days after shooting Desjardins, or at least being believed go have been behind the Desjardins shooting. Do we know what wedding Montagna attended on September 25, 2011? I don't recall any being covered at the time.
• They were trying to place a tracker on Montagna's vehicle.
• on October 13th Lorenzo LoPresti wasn't considered a main target. They didn't want to hit him and drive everyone else underground. Lorenzo was killed 11 days later.
• There was some frustration in the Desjardins-Mirarchi camp among D'Addario and Colapelle over inaction and being left in the dark -possibly because of Lorenzo's murder after being told he wasn't a main target-
• Colapelle seems to jokingly(?) suggest saying Montagna's camp is talking about Desjardins so Desjardins-Mirarchi will act.
• D'Addario responds its clear Montagna is targeting Mirarchi because they know he's trying to get back at them for hitting Desjardins.
• Colapelle asks for the messages to show Mirarchi/Desjardins to make them act.
On December 15th, 2011 D'Addario intercepted a message between the remaining Montagna camp. It appears to be between someone in Montreal and someone elsewhere (guessing NY).
• They inquire about about who killed Montagna, referring to Desjardins.
• #1 was asking about the capo their friend (Montagna) made over there (Montreal)
- If Montagna was making guys captains in Montreal it could show he still held rank in the Bonannos. When Vincent Asaro told his cousin that Montagna was murder he said "They killed a guy in Canada, Sal Montagna, one of the bosses from New York"
- Four days after Montagna was killed Domenico Agostino texted Hansley Lee Joseph "People in New York believe in the code. Not only did they kill a capo, but a capo from an important family,”
- So both Montreal figures and NY figures regard Montagna as a "capo from New York"
- Interesting Agostino says people in New York believe in the code. To make that distinction could imply people in Montreal don't. Similar to what Scoppa said. But both almost certainly were non members.
- I assume this text came from a NYC Bonanno so #1 could be possibly be Joe Bosco or Vincent Badalamenti since they were reported to be running the family at the time. Could be someone else for all we know.
- The capo Montagna made could be Moreno Gallo. The book Cellular 8002 vs Mafia states Montagna offered Di Maulo the position of "Godfather of Montreal" but he declined so Montagna turned to Gallo. Gallo was a suspected Bonanno member prior to Montagna's arrival to Monteal.
- There was some suspicion on whether this capo could still be trusted. He was oddly missing in the days around Montagna was murdered.
