In the latest episode of my WIRETAP series, Montreal Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto is woken from his 5 p.m. nap to arrange a meeting over coffee with Giuseppe Borsellino, a suave Montreal construction entrepreneur.
With a liberal nap schedule, Vito might well need that coffee.
Borsellino was recently called to testify at the Charbonneau Commission probing corruption in Quebec's construction industry where he was asked about his relationships with a variety of people featuring in the probe, including members of the Rizzuto family.
He said his parents come from the same small village in Sicily, Cattolica Eraclea, where the Rizzutos are from. That was a common feature of many of the businessmen called to testify or whom evidence was heard about. For such a small village — when I was there I saw little sign of new construction in the town — it sure spawned a lot of construction magnates and mafiosi.
This conversation, however, suggests the two men were on a first-name basis with each other and felt comfortable chatting casually and arranging a meeting. They also both preferred to talk about their business in Italian. (I've provided the translation in the video.)
The life and crimes of Vito Rizzuto, one of the world's great mafiosi, are chronicled in my book, The Sixth Family: The Collapse of the New York Mafia and the Rise of Vito Rizzuto, written with co-author Lee Lamothe. A revised and updated edition of the book is being published by HarperCollins in April 2014. (The book is also available in French and Italian.)
