antimafia, it's perfect for me, for once I can read the articles of the journaldemontreal (often the access is forbidden to the Europeans)

In any case they are in good shape in Canada right now, it doesn't stop !

News And Information

Montreal mobster Salvatore Scoppa assassinated

May 5, 2019 By TheBoss 

Salvatore Scoppa an influential member of the Montreal mafia was shot to death at the Sheraton Laval Hotel according to reports.

It’s uncertain as to how many times he was shot or where but multiple sources reported that he was killed. The police confirmed that shots were fired in the area but could not confirm any other reports at this time. Scoppa had been targeted before by rival mobsters but somehow survived although it seems his luck has finally run out. Salvatore and his brother Andrew Scoppa controlled a powerful Calabrian mob clan and had emerged as key players in the Mafia in Montreal during the bloody Montreal mafia war which dismantled the once powerful Rizzuto crime family.  This seems like a clear sign that the unrest within the Montreal underworld continues and that more bloodshed may be on the way.  Whoever is behind this attack could also target Andrew who is known to be the more influential of the two.

  It’s clear that when it comes to the mafia both in Montreal and elsewhere things have changed drastically since the death of Vito Rizzuto. The Scoppa’s like many others had ties to Vito and the former Rizzuto hierarchy but had fallen out of favor with the families new leaders including alleged boss Stefano Sollecito according to a secretly recorded conversation during Project Magot. In one meeting between Sollecito, Leonardo Rizzuto, and street gang leader Gregory Woolley they discussed the Scoppa brothers and how they were no longer trusted even though they once had ties to Vito.

Could Sollecito and what remains of the Rizzuto family be striking back at their enemies in an effort to re-establish control? Things have been relatively quiet in Montreal over the last several months but the death of Scoppa could spur another round of violence. Perhaps reports of the Rizzuto families demise have been a bit premature? A deadly mafia-linked attack in Hamilton that included Montrealers left some wondering if there were possible ties to Montreal mob and in particular the Rizzuto clan. The murder of Salvatore Scoppa is sure to bring with it more theories of a Rizzuto-Sollecito family resurgence.

At this point, anything seems possible and it’s hard to keep track of who has been left standing and who is hitting who and for what reasons. Further updates will follow as the investigation into the Salvatore Scoppa shooting gets underway.

Amazing anyone’s left in Montreal.

So, which side was he on again?

Montreal Calabrian faction. Not sure if he or his brother, who is of higher stature than him are Bonannos. Not really sure if there is more than one Calabrian faction in Montreal. Everything seems like a free for all and splintered into so many groups. LE has tape of Socelitto, Rizzuto, and Cooley talking about putting out a hit on Salvatore Scoppa in Nov 2015. Socelitto seemed to want to kill him and Rizzuto was against it. In early 2017 there was an attempt on Scoppa that failed.

Should be Wooley not Cooley lol

Lots of people left and more keep coming. Lots of Italian associates and wannabes waiting to rise in the ranks and building up their rep/income in Montreal Toronto and Hamilton.

This started before the Musitano hits. I don't think it is a response to the attack on Pat Musitano. I think it's been in the works for a few years.
