New Videos Every Wednesday and Friday!!

Vincenzo Cotroni, known as the godfather of Montreal, played a crucial role in shaping Canada's underworld. Rising to power in the mid-20th century, he maintained close ties with the New York Mafia, including the Bonanno family, while overseeing lucrative operations like narcotics trafficking and gambling. Cotroni's influence extended beyond crime, leading him to publicly challenge his portrayal in Canadian media through a controversial lawsuit. His reign saw internal family tensions, particularly with the rise of Nicolo Rizzuto, whose faction eventually took control of Montreal's underworld. Despite stepping back in his later years, Cotroni's legacy endured, with his family continuing operations even after his death in 1984.

However, due to the nature of these videos and the timeline of some of these stories, information often comes from secondary and tertiary sources, or from testimony from people who can benefit from being untruthful.
