it’s called the family and like families
it stretches across borders and
throughout the world
hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re speaking
with the authors of mafia ink to learn
how canada’s rizzuto clan connects to
such famous families as the bonanno’s
tell us about the history of the Mafia
worldwide and how the Rizzuto clan fits
into that
well mafia is a general word for the old
Italian organized crime but more
specifically its with the Sicilian Mafia
in the city it’s the Cosa Nostra there
are historical reasons why the Cosa
Nostra is so strong and also what
happened in Sicily is that the land was
owned by big land owners and many of
them were not living on their on their
on their lands that were living in
Palermo or in Knapp and they had to hire
what we call gaba load C and the campy
arey who are like guards private guards
to just to check the their properties
and also to hire laborers to hire
workers and these people became very
powerful because of their role in the
society and eventually they took the
control of the economy and especially in
the western part of Sicily they created
what we call the Mafia and they became a
very very powerful international
organization what happened after the
Second World War the heroin trade was
controlled by the Corsican progressively
the Sicilian Mafia took the power from
the Corsican and Montreal was an
important place because Montreal was
called the Sin City in North America
many Americans tourists or people were
coming in Montreal just to have fun to
go into the bars and there was a lot of
prostitution also in montreal montreal
was kind of the first last vegas of
North America so the organized crime was
controlling all this kind of economy in
Montreal was very important
and the Sicilian clans of all the people
like Rizzuto and Cantrell Calvin I came
in Montreal knowing that it was an
important place and from here they went
to Venezuela and the they had a deal a
kind of deal with the Colombian cartels
of cocaine so they began importing
cocaine from Colombia to Venezuela from
Venezuela to Montreal and from Montreal
to United States the Mafia become really
international in the 60s when after a
war in between different plans in the in
Sicily and and that’s the at that time
the Carwin a country era were somewhere
in Montreal but the biggest busts of the
country occur wanna wasn’t Sicily then
and the 60s he goes out of Italy because
the war he went to Brazil at first and
after that he went to Venezuela and
invidual ah not far from the Colombia
you know that’s why that’s all they
begun to trade cocaine something I
noticed in the literature but your book
is the connection between the rizzuto
family and the story behind the film
Donnie Brasco would you mind telling us
about that yeah it’s interesting because
well Donnie Brasco corpus tony
infiltrated the Bonanno clan in New York
the Bonanno family is the one who was
related to the Montreal mafia we are
describing and our book what happened is
that they were like captains inside the
Bonanno family who were results wanted
to take the power from the family and
the leader of the Bonanno family at that
time just wanted to kill them and in
order to kill them he asked me to be
zuto from Montreal and to other
mobsters from Montreal to come to New
York and to kill them so they set up
like a trap what happened at that time
is that their bodies had been put in
those own Park small in the small area
in New York and one of the body had been
discovered a few weeks after that but
other bodies have been discovered only
25 years after and they were able to
relate these killings to vito rizzuto at
that time well a few years ago the
American authorities asked the Canada to
expel the Rizzuto and since then Rizzuto
is in jail for this these triple murders
in Colorado so it’s really related with
the situation of the Mafia here in
Montreal thank you very much thank you
