 | Desiderio (Desi) Pompa, 39, of Laval, is currently serving a three-year prison term he received in September 2014 for the illegal possession of firearms. Pompa ran an illegal bookmaking operation out of Café Bellerose, a known Mafia hangout in Laval, before he was arrested in 2010.
The café was firebombed in September, and two hair salons in Laval owned by the wife of Carmelo Cannistraro — a man who ran a multi-million-dollar bookmaking operation for the Rizzutos — were also the targets of arson early in January. The three deliberately set blazes are among more than a dozen since September at the property or buildings owned by people tied to the Rizzuto organization. |  Carmelo Cannistraro |
