Rizzuto killing: what it means

Journalists are commenting today on the implications of the killing of Nick Rizzuto: is it a power grab in an ongoing struggle to dominate Montreal’s mafia, left somewhat rudderless with Vito Rizzuto in an American jail since 2006? That’s what La Presse’s expert thinks, and it’s not so far off what the Gazette’s experts think too. What Nick Rizzuto was up to and whether his death will spark further killings remains to be seen.
