How Rizzuto Got His Revenge, Mafia-Style
Adrian Humphreys' National Post story is required reading for anyone interested in the Canadian mob war (which included both Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta members) that reached its bloody crescendo under the stewardship of now-deceased Montreal Godfather Vito Rizzuto. The article focuses on new information regarding how Rizzuto swiftly took charge when he returned home from prison, marshaled his forces and with true Sicilian cunningness, set loose the dogs of war by first testing his own men's loyalty. Rizzuto was referred to as the Tall Guy. He seems to have taken a page from John Gotti's playbook by topping his death list with the names of those who blinked when he summoned them.
