Montreal's 3rd Mob-related Hit in One Month?

"Nino Brown" -- the victim -- survived several attempts since 2013.
Montreal police are currently investigating what seems likely to be the latest attack on the Montreal Mafia crime family formerly run by Vito Rizzuto. The victim has been the target of several previous unsuccessful hits and one report seems to indicate the shootings may be over debts the victim owes.

This past Monday the wounded man, allegedly is associated with the Rizzutos, was shot inside his Riviere des Prairies home. His n...

Genovese Capo Got in Bed with Wrong Crooks

From left, Ralph Perricelli Jr., Heidi Francavilla and Joseph Denti Jr.
It'd be interesting to know how they met one another.....

Genovese crime family mobster Joseph Denti Jr. was arrested and charged with several others for stealing $350,000 from investors who believed they were funding medical ventures.

The money, however, only filled the defendants’ pockets, prosecutors allege. Now all four face charges of conspiracy, theft by deception and money laundering, which could lend them five to 10...

Who Wrote Bugs, Bull & Rats? I Think I Know...

It was surprising enough that Gangland News hawked a nonfiction book about the mob's doings written under a pen name, but now the New York Daily News went and interviewed this fella too.

"Frank Palmeri" is the pseudonymous author of Bugs, Bull, & Rats, which the Daily News describes as "an anecdotal recounting of some of the mob’s most notorious hits and hit men." (Note to Daily News: you misspelled the guy's name -- it's Palmeri not Palmieri. I am seeking work if yo...

Any Truth to Vince Cassel's "Mafia Dubber" Claims?

Vince Cassel may have thought he was joking. 
The Italian voice-over industry acts like the Mafia, French actor Vincent Cassel said.

Now, he's probably using hyperbole to draw attention to an issue that annoys him. I am not for one minute suggesting what he said is true! Not at all.....

But if one considers what he says in light of what we know about the mob's infiltration of labor, then the Italian film dubbing industry is actually the perfect example of how the Mafia takes over entir...

Finally "Junior" Gotti Directly Addresses Alite

I find it amazing the amount of work going into one website designed only to discredit John Alite. Who is interested in reading this kind of information -- aside from John A. Gotti? I could make a fortune
with the court documents and 302s this kid has. It's such a waste. It's like manually pleasuring yourself while you know you three shapely, busty, hottie hookers are on the way to spend the night with you.....

Gunmen Killed Man Tied to Hells Angels in Montreal Suburb

Law enforcement investigates presumed gangland hit.
A shooting this week in Terrebonne, a Montreal suburb in western Quebec, Canada, has "all the markings of an organized crime hit" and is not far from the location of the Lorenzo Giordano shooting in southwestern Quebec, north of Montreal, three weeks ago.

The victim, Yannick LaRose, is "believed to have links to the Hells Angels," The Journal de Montreal and La Presse reported. (This likely means it was a move by 'Ndrangheta factions against w...

Needless to say, this blog wi...
