Summary of recent Mob moves
The National Post has a rather luridly written account of recent power struggles in the Montreal Mob. But it’s never a good idea to pretend you know what someone like Francesco Del Balso was thinking.

Whoo boy that is breathless stuff! I do appreciate that they at least tied a clear narrative of who was killing whom and why which the Quebec papers rarely do.

walkerp, they do, but not necessarily as a compressed narrative in one place like this one. Daniel Renaud in La Presse, Paul Cherry at the Gazette, they’ve both tracked this epic and reported on it. I blog their stories but am always a little surprised how few comments they inspire.

I do read their reporting but I find they tend to be a bit cautious in connecting the dots. It may just be that it’s so confusing, that I needed the simplified overview that the NP article gives to remember who is who. The articles in LaPresse tend to say things like “affiliated with X name” but not be explicit about people’s roles when they haven’t been charged with anything.
