New York Mobsters May Be Gunning For Montreal Turf

Reputed Rizzuto crime family consigliere Paolo Renda apparently was kidnapped from the streets of Montreal, QC Canada on Thursday, and only days earlier "police officers were warned to expect a threatening move against the powerful mob clan, possibly from the United States" as reported by Adrian Humphreys for the National Post:

Police officers in Montreal were told this week that someone might be making a move against the clan, a move expected sometime in the next month, and to work sources for more information, a law-enforcement source told the Post on condition of anonymity. The threat was believed to have emanated either directly from New York or through Buffalo and Toronto, the source said.

Renda is the brother-in-law of reputed Montreal boss Vito Rizzuto who is serving a 10-year sentence at a federal penitentiary in Colorado following his racketeering conviction involving the 1981 murder of three Bonanno crime family capos in New York City.

Regardless of who is behind the seeming war against the Rizzuto clan it has been brutal in recent months. Nick Rizzuto Jr., the son of Vito, was murdered last December, and Frederico Del Peschio, a close associate of the reputed boss, was murdered last August.

Now’s the perfect time due to the Habs Flyers match up, while everyone there is distracted. Montreal can be under NY control: people there still speak English but once you get out of the city limits, it’s all French.

Will they exchange those fedoras they wear with toques if they move to Montreal?

They fished some poor schmuck out of the St Lawrence river today. His arms were tied to a hockey stick, his mouth stuffed with a toque, and his feet were weighed down with curling stones.

....another victim of the Canadian mafia.

A crime capo kills three other crime capos and they bother to send him to the pen for that?
