Nicolo Rizzuto Murder Ends Rizzuto Crime Family Reign | Gambling911.com: "shocking murder of Godfather Nicolo (Nick) Rizzuto while eating dinner in his family’s Montreal home Wednesday night has likely signaled the end of the Rizzuto crime family, said retired RCMP intelligence analyst Pierre de Champlain. The only remaining senior leader of the family is his son, Vito. However, Vito Rizzuto has been under house arrest since 2004 for his role in the murders of three other mobsters in New York in 1981..
“Vito will come back at some point, but it’s clearly finished for the family,” said André Noël, co-author of Mafia Inc.
Vito is expected to be released within the next three years.
The elder Rizzuto was 86-years old. His family has been under attack for a number of years. His grandson, and namesake, was shot to death last year while standing outside his Mercedes, six bullet holes in his chest. Paolo Renda, Nicolo's son in law, disappeared on May 20, 2010, and is presumed to have been kidnapped. A month later Agostino Cuntrera, who is believed to have taken control of the family, was killed together with his bodyguard on June 30, 2010. Shortly thereafter, a Rizzuto associate Ennio Bruni was killed while leaving a cafe in suburban Laval.
The Rizzuto clan’s alleged criminal activities included loan sharking, money laundering, murder, drug trafficking, pornography, and gambling."
