As police tapes rolled, conversation flowed at cafe
The next day, police bugs at the cafe picked up the bosses questioning Lorenzo Giordano, who was at the bar when the shootings took place.
Rocco Sollecito said he heard this was an isolated incident. But his son, Giuseppe, replied Beaubrun was a “captain” of the “blacks” and he heard “there will be blood” and that the “street” is aware of it.
According to the affidavit, Giuseppe added the “blacks” are “not people you can sit down and reason with, that they are not like them. They are animals.”
But it was a third murder about 18 months later that really disturbed the Mafia bosses.
On Aug. 30, 2006, in mid-afternoon in Riviere des Prairies, two men on a motorcycle shot Domenico Macri.
The Mafia soldier was in a car driven by Mario Iannitto, who was slightly wounded in the neck.
The two men were on their way to pick up Arcadi, and police intercepts indicate Arcadi thought the hit men were gunning for him.
The murder created huge commotion at another alleged Mafia headquarters. The Bar Laennec, located in a small strip mall on Rene Laennec Blvd. in Laval, was where alleged underbosses gathered to discuss their business.
Soon after the Macri murder, the bar became a beehive of activity as men met to discuss what had happened and what they should do about it.
The RCMP had planted video cameras and bugs at the bar in 2005. Now their secret recording devices feasted on the conversations:
Giordano: “Yeah, bro, they shot DM, man.”
Francesco del Balso, alleged head of gambling for the mob: “He’s dead! He’s dead! What happened? What are we going to do now?”
The next day, the alleged bosses and underbosses had a sit-down at the Laennec. It was a solemn occasion, one that Arcadi used to remind the troops of the religious significance of their calling.
Sollecito (to Arcadi): “Compare, we are already starting to study the situation. As far as I’m concerned it’s a big f—–g problem.”
Arcadi: “Me, I agree. Here we are father, son and holy spirit. I agree that it’s things that we have to reason out, things have to be measured, things have to be evaluated, but when it gets to a certain point and we are touched by some stupidities, the discussions have to be short.”
