The attack and attempted to take over of the Montreal mafia by a break away faction believed to have been formed by both Calabrian mobsters known as the Ndrangheta and former Rizzuto crime family members is still being dealt with. The Montreal mafia war that resulted still rages on with the Rizzuto family striking back against its list of enemies since the return of boss Vito Rizzuto in 2012. Even though Vito is now deceased his revenge is still being carried out as the new leaders of the Montreal mafia remain loyal to their former leader. Even with a lull in the murder rate many insiders believe the Montreal mob war will carry over into 2015 with some Sicilian mafia traitors and Ndrangheta opportunists remaining.
“Vito Rizzuto”
The Calabrian mafia is now considered to be the richest and most powerful of the mob families in Italy but the Sicilians still remain the power of the Canadian mafia families namely the Rizzuto family. Vito died of natural causes but it was clear upon his return from his 10 year prison stretch that he or the Rizzuto family never lost its power. He unleashed a vendetta against those responsible for the attack on his mob family leading to death of his son and father and many other mobsters and reclaimed his stake in the Montreal underworld from all challengers.
There have been mafia hits carried out in many places including Quebec, Mexico, and Sicily showing the reach of the Rizzuto family and its ongoing vendetta has no bounds. Key members of the Calabrian mafia including Carmine Verducci have been targeted along with former Rizzuto family loyalists who turned on the family including Joe Di Maulo, Salvatore Calautti, and Juan Ramon Fernandez have also been hit. Hits on key figures proved that no one was safe from the revenge being carried out by the mob family and things were not settled with the death of Vito.
Who remains on the hit list is anyone’s guess but its seems clear that the tension in the Montreal underworld is not yet settled and more blood is likely to be shed as accounts are settled in the new year.
Seems about right as the new mafia leaders in Montreal in control of the Rizzuto family continue to clean house and settle all of Vito’s accounts before moving on, many were that loyal to him.
The recent hit on Callocchia prob not the last and i am sure many people figuring to be in the cross hairs are still hiding and being extremely careful.
Rocco sollecito seems to be getting things in order , carrying out rizzuto’s last wishes
Loyal to Rizzuto’s for years seems him and his son are now the power and sit at the head of the table going into the new year. Won’t be a shock to many if a few more of Vito’s debts are settled this year.
This is a question, I know one of the frequent/more knowledgeable ppl can answer for me. I’ve read alot, met/talked to old school Jewish mobsters, but anyway does Rizzuto’s widow/real family still get taken care of (if you know what I mean)? Or any members that dies naturally? Just something I’ve wondered.
I think this is carried out differently depending on the mob family and the way it does things. I would think this is less and less likely now a days as things are more diminished but may still be the case in some circles. The Rizzuto family in general was very well off so i wouldn’t think his wife etc need much taking care of from ongoing mob family profits honestly , Vito seems to have had them well set up before his passing.
well when mobsters go to prison there families are normally sent a certain amount of money from the crew they are in not much but enough to live on but if the mob guy is looking at a heavy sentence then the familys slowly stop receiving money as they know the member is never getting out. Familys of mobsters who die get nothing some mob guys if they were close with the mobster who died then maybe the family will get a bit at first but overtime nothing. This is because mobsters are all very greedy and most mobsters dont reallly care about each other the reason why they would kill anyone if ordered to.
Rizzuto family would probably not need any money like sharp.s said they are already wealthy but if they need money probably not
