Montreal Mafia: Florence Federal Correctional Complex

U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement ICE Dept: The 66-year-old Montrealer, reputed to be the head of the Montreal Mafia when he was extradited to the U.S. in 2006, stepped out of the Florence Federal Correctional Complex in Florence, Colo., a little after 9 a.m. Eastern Standard Time Friday and was immediately turned over to officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE , who whisked him away to prepare him for a flight to Canada, where he is a citizen, according to Montreal Gazette. Everything he has is in Montreal. Everyone he knows is in Montreal, one police source told The Gazette, regarding the support Rizzuto is believed to still have in the city, even if the organization he controlled for roughly two decades has been significantly weakened by a major police investigation and a subsequent series of murders. There's no reason for him to live in Toronto. MONTREAL Vito Rizzuto returns home seeking answers to a long list of questions compiled during the last several years he spent behind bars, police sources say. Officials in the U.S. provided no more information about how Rizzuto was to be removed from the country. But late Friday night reports out of Toronto said he landed at Pearson International Airport just before 11 p.m., and according to passengers on board he had a heavily armed police escort. While there has been some speculation in the media over the past two weeks that Rizzuto would settle in Toronto, police sources in Montreal believed he would transfer to Montreal, the city he has lived in most of his life.
