Conflict in Montreal Mafia approaching

The revelation that mob boss Stefano Sollecito has lost favor with his cohorts at the top table coincides with cop warnings that the return of Raynald Desjardins has triggered a war. The Sicilian clan and that of Desjardins have both been decimated by dozens of settlings of scores since 2004. There is no way they can live in peace now according to cops. Desjardins was brought back behind bars for having violated the conditions of his parole. Cops have warned him twice that plots for his death are afoot. Private security around Leonardo Rizzuto and Stefano Sollecito has been reinforced in recent months. Both men have been warned by cops, with Sollecito being a prime target.

Gang leader Gregory Woolley, an ally of the Sicilians of the Rizzuto clan, was also told by cops to be on his guard. He was charged in 2015 with conspiracy to kill Desjardins. Rounding out the cop warnings is to Vittorio Mirarchi, a rising star in the Calabrian mafia clan. He was found guilty, like Desjardins, for plotting the murder of would-be godfather Salvatore Montagna in 2011.
