Gangster murdered in Laval restaurant

A man murdered Wednesday evening in a Laval restaurant has been identified as Bernard Cherfan, described by La Presse as a businessman close to organized crime figures including Stefano Sollecito and Frédérick Silva. A killing like this is inevitably seen as a move in the dangerous game over who’s running the local mob.

Update: TVA is really covering this, with a witness statement, thoughts from a retired cop on how hit men put innocent onlookers at risk, facts about the murdered man and more.

Otherwise it’s a slow news day.
