![]() | Francesco Del Balso, a soldier of former godfather Vito Rizzuto, has been living in the Quebec City area since last spring. He is being accused of shaking down at least half a dozen restaurants for pizzo. Pizzo is the periodic payment to the mafia for protection. The owners of La Fornarina restaurant, in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste district, contacted the Quebec Police Service (SPVQ) to file a complaint. The SPVQ sought the help of the National Organized Crime Squad (ENRCO). | ![]() |
![]() | Targeted in an attempted murder in May in Laval and said to be under constant threat of death, Del Balso tried his luck in a new region of Quebec. He had been advised by police to remove himself far from Montreal. Apparently Chit doesn't understand the word 'far'. Nor has he been rehabilitated. Introducing himself to newcomers to Canada Annie Ghattas and Federico Marcellini, he demanded they sell their business to him for a pittance, otherwise there would be consequences. | ![]() |
