SEE  PART ONE In the fall of 2011 at around 3:30 p.m. a black BMW X5 pulled into the Tim Hortons' parking lot on Montreal's Lafontaine Boulevard. A black-and-grey Ford Flex was seen nosing its way into the parking lot a short time later.

It was a guide on the formation of a Ndrangheta cell; it also included some of the group's rules and ceremonies. Caccamo and wife Rosa were arrested. The court ruled that the documents, henceforth given the nickname The Caccamo Papers, were genuine. Also they were similar to only three others ever found in the entire world.
