Is the Mafia finished? Or are the wars just starting?

[MTL Expos]

I am surprised that people are so quiet about the news of the day. Who will emerge as the controling group in organized crime?

It's more like the Rizzuto family is finished. The question is who has the power, network, and connections to import large quantities of drugs for these smaller gangs to distribute. I doubt that a bunch of kids hanging out on a street corner in St Michel has the power to do that.

The "ndrangheta"(Calabrian Mafia) has the power to do that:

An expert on tv said that for them to knock off a guy so old and so high, there must have been permission from the guys in NY no one would dare to do such a high profile hit without permission.

My guess is the new guard is already in place, and the old guard is being shuffled out one at a time.

The service was held in the Madonna Della Difesa Church.

Sunlight filled the church, illuminating the fresco that blends religious imagery with more modern portraits, including Italian dictator Benito Mussolini on horseback.

The cops put most of the bikers in prison, now they are going after the mafia.

The Haitian and Hispanic gangs are disorganized. The bikers are shattered by the law, and the Mafia is internally fractured.

My bad... thanks for the correction

The problem is the "cops" are almost as corrupt and many of them belong in prison.

Yep. Superfcial report, but modern-day production, with simulations of... Interesting to hear the tapped phone conversations though... "I'm gonna make you eat with a straw for 6 months... !"
If you read french and want more in depth info, I strongly suggest the book by 2 Montreal reporters: MAFIA INC. Very informative.

The wars are just beginning, the burnings are turf poaching.
