There's a vacuum at the top of Montreal's Mafia

There's a vacuum at the top of Montreal's Mafia: "Vito Rizzuto, long the Teflon don of Montreal's Mafia, to be extradited to the U.S. to face trial for the murder of Mafiosi in New York 25 years before.
Within hours, a four-vehicle police convoy was whisking the lanky, 60-year-old Rizzuto from his temporary home, the prison at Ste. Anne des Plaines, to Trudeau airport. An FBI jet was there, waiting to speed him back to the U.S. for trial.
As he sat in the van, the leader of the Sicilian-origin branch of the local Mafia poured out his bitterness to his Montreal police escorts. His absence from Montreal would be bad for the city, he said. The fragile equilibrium that existed among the city's organized-crime groups would be broken. Only he himself, he said, could ensure a relative peace among the groups.
Rizzuto's outburst is one of many insightful anecdotes in a book published last week -Mafia Inc., courageously written by Andre Cedilot and Andre Noel. What the kingpin said has turned out to be no idle boast but an uncannily accurate prophecy."
