Fascinating video shedding light on the 2016?feud between ex mob enforcer ‪@johnalite‬ and the Gotti family. It’s wild to see people close to Alite endorsing him after all the heavy accusations exchanged over the years.

This covers a deleted FB post by, allegedly made by Jeff Canarsie. I wish the channel had shown the text for verification, but the fallout from this story hit the NY Post (article linked in comments). I don't endorse any of these claims.

You can't preach "omertà" and a "no snitching" code if you're allegedly going undercover to report people. This is the last time I’m addressing this. Stick to historical true crime events instead of inserting yourself into the narrative.

You do good work when you focus on history. And leave me out of the nonsense….This is for educational and historical purposes. #MOBFAX

Jeff Canarsie from Virginia, learned that his family was mobbed up after seeing the movie “Goodfellas,” wrote a letter to a federal judge, snitching on John Rubeo. @Gene Borrello‬ ‪@johnalite‬ He’s not an informant?

Jeff only wrote a fed judge and told on Patsy Adriano, Jimmy Calandra, John Alite, Gene Borello and John Alite. He also reportedly snitched on a high school friend in a separate case. I guess they don’t count. Canarsie claimed that Joey Merlino’s guys and “organized crime” told him to write the letter to the federal judge. Ridiculous.

The NY Post and Jerry Capeci wrote about this. Ask JR. I bet he remembers!

1976 La Tribune article detailing the historical ties between Montreal’s Cotroni-Violi crime family, the Bonanno family, and the Sicilian mafia.

(Wiretapped conversation between Calabrese/Montreal mobsters Paolo Violi and Pietro Sciarra)

Paolo Violi: Sometimes I am amazed; I don’t understand how the police know everything. By the Madonna Addolorata, I don’t understand any of it.Not only about these matters, but about our affairs, look at the newspaper... because sometimes. Even when the guy came, Giuseppe Settecasi came here, in the newspaper, it was a whole ordeal; it said he came, that he is "capo provincia" of Agrigento there...

Pietro Sciarra: How do they find out?

P. Violi: That's what I'm saying... they say that the guys from over there respect the laws of the old-timers in Italy, damn it. So what is this business? And I would even add this: whether speaking on the phone or talking to one another, in short, they are aware of our business Zio Petrino. Here, the way things are known, we are a "decina". The boss of this "decina" is Vincenzo Cotroni. If Vincenzo Cotroni were to die, the preferred person for this position would be Violi. What makes people in this business believe that, or even those who talk about these matters, is that they talk among themselves.

If it's something that Vincenzo says, if something happens, the position is mine right away. How on earth do they know these things. that's what's got me business like it makes me angry.

P. Sciarra: How do the police find out who does what, who is here, who is in charge of this, who is in charge of that, and the other is in charge of that. How do they do it?

P. Violi: The newspapers know everything. I saw it in yesterday's paper. They know all the connections we have. How does it happen that they know all these things. And they know there are people and those who come and go, why they come and why they don't come. That's what blows my mind the most.

3: The Cotroni-Violi "Family" in the Mafia
We have seen that in terms of its structure, the Cotroni-Violi Group can be considered a criminal syndicate type of Mafia. What links link these organizations of this type to the United States and Italy?

A: Relations between the "families" and recognized members of the Mafia
Very close ties unite the Cotroni-Violi "family" with groups or individuals recognized as being part of the American and Italian Mafia. The connections known and established before the Commission of Inquiry into Organized Crime with mafiosi from the outside date back more than twenty years.

In the month of February 1973, testifying before the Commission, former assistant directors of the Montreal police department, Mr. Pacifique Plante and William Fitzpatrick, confirmed the presence in Montreal in 1954 of Carmine Galante and Mike Consolo, two prominent members of the American underworld. They came to meet Vincent Cotroni and Luigi Greco, the bosses of the era.

During the course of his testimony, Mr. Plante reported the statement of Anthony Marulli, brother-in-law of Carmine Galante. Marulli reportedly admitted that he had been subject to Galante and Luigi Greco. Marulli was deported in 1956.

The evidence presented at the trial of Giuseppe Cotroni in Montreal and Carmine Galante in New York reveals that between 1954 and 1959, the Cotroni-Greco clan trafficked with a series of notorious mafiosi, who were part of the "families" of Vito Genovese, Gaetano Lucchese, and Joseph Bonanno.

In July 1964, one of the major godfathers of the New York Mafia, Joe Bonanno, came to Montreal and was attempting to obtain authorization to settle here permanently. To support his request, he produced a letter from Giuseppe Saputo offering Bonanno to become his partner in his cheese manufacturing business.

On July 10, 1966, at Hamilton, Paolo Violi married Grazia Luppino, the daughter of Giacomo Luppino, a Calabrian (like the Cotronis and the Violis).

Vincent Cotroni and Luigi Greco attended the ceremony in the company of two of their men, Michel Pozza and Joe Di Francesco. Cotroni acted as a witness for Paolo Violi and became his "compare". A ritual link then united the two men as well as the "families" of Montreal, Hamilton, and Buffalo.

On June 21, 1966, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police apprehended at the residence of Vincent Cotroni, in Repentigny, Joseph Vincent Asaro, a mafioso from the Bronx in New York, a member of the Bonanno "family," who had been sought for four years by the New York State Board of Parole.

Asaro had lived in Montreal since 1962 under the protection of the Cotroni "family." At the time of his arrest, he was in the company of Vincent Cotroni and his brother Frank. He worked in slot machine businesses directly controlled by the Mafia.

Evidence was submitted to the Commission regarding a surveillance report conducted by Montreal Police investigators dated November 28, 1966. On that occasion, police intercepted two vehicles in which Luigi Greco and six members of the New York Bonanno "family", including Salvatore "Bill" Bonanno, son of Joe and his principal advisor, were riding.

Inside the automobiles, police found four fully loaded firearms. Following the arrest of Greco and the Americans, police observed many meetings over the course of the day between Vincent Cotroni, Paolo Violi, Giacomo Luppino, and this group of Americans.

Starting in April 1971, the Montreal municipal police intercepted telephone communications between Paolo Violi and Philip Rastelli of New York, then one of the henchmen of Natale Evola, the aging boss of the old Bonanno "family".

Several phone conversations and numerous discussions and meetings took place between leaders of the Cotroni-Violi "family" and influential members of the Evola organization, notably Michael Zaffarano (brother-in-law of Joseph Asaro), Nicolino Alfano, Jos Buccellato, Nick Buttafuoco, and Nicky Marengello.

These contacts between leaders of the Cotroni-Violi "family" and those of the Evola-Rastelli "family" focused primarily on the internal functioning of both groups, as well as exchanges of favors and services. This is how the internal conflict opposing Nick Rizzuto to his hierarchical superiors Vincent Cotroni and Paolo Violi was settled.

On May 14, 1971, Phil Rastelli telephoned Paolo Violi to get him to "intervene" with an individual from Toronto who owed him money.

On January 21, 1973, Joe Napolitano of Pointe-Claire met Paolo Violi at his office. Paolo Violi assured his interlocutor that he would personally see to sending back to New York an individual who owed a $30,000 debt in which Natale Evola had an interest.

On November 19, 1973, Joe Napolitano ? and Cire Casoria (deported from Italy since then) met Paolo Violi to ask him to intercede with Phil Rastelli so that one of their relations in New Jersey wouldn't have to repay the balance of a loan contracted in New York.

On May 11, 13, and 21, 1972, police officers from the Montreal Urban Community intercepted important and lengthy discussions between Paolo Violi, Vincent Cotroni, and two high-ranking mafiosi.

One of them was Giuseppe Settecasi, the "family" boss of the Agrigento province in Sicily, and the other Leonardo Caruana, a member of this "family" who had taken refuge in Montreal in 1966 after his sentencing to exile and preventive detention under the 1965 Italian Anti-Mafia law.

Between 1972 and 1975, numerous meetings or communications took place between the leaders of the Cotroni-Violi "family" and these two individuals, as well as with other Sicilian mafiosi from overseas, notably Carmelo Salemi and Pietro Sciarra. Most of these conversations centered on the internal functioning of the Mafia, both in Montreal and in Sicily.

Thus, in May 1972, Giuseppe Settecasi came to Montreal to gather information regarding the dispute between Cotroni, Violi, and their subordinate Rizzuto. A few months prior, Violi had gone to Sicily where he had met the "capo provincia" Settecasi.

On April 22, 1974, Paolo Violi, Pietro Sciarra, Carmelo Salemi, and Giuseppe Cuffaro spoke regarding the nomination of Caruana to the "family" Settecasi as "capo di madamento" (district chief) in Sicily. Indeed, Carmelo Salemi and Giuseppe Cuffaro had come to meet the Montreal group through the intervention of Sciarra to explain the changes that occurred in Sicily.

On May 10 and 13, 1974, Paolo Violi, Carmelo Salemi, and Giuseppe Cuffaro discussed at length membership in the Mafia and particularly the conditions of admission into the Montreal "family", following the dispute caused by the nomination of a Montrealer to a hierarchical position in Sicily.

It clearly emerges from the words exchanged that the members in Italy and in Montreal are all "friends", people belonging to the same association. Violi said on this subject on May 10, 1974:

(Wiretap conversation)

Paolo Violi: “Certain people who come from Italy have the same privileges, when it is recognized that they are "residents" over there... They come here... they are recognized by all people….”

Editor's Note: La Tribune is publishing daily excerpts of the full version of the report submitted to the Solicitor General of Quebec last September 30 by Judge Jean Dutil. This report deals with the two main criminal organizations in Quebec: that of the Mafia and that of the Dubois brothers, as well as their activities over recent years.
