Ripped apart by mob-faction wars for over a decade now, the Canadian mafia landscape is as tumultuous as ever. Just this past spring, Hamilton, Ontario mob boss Angelo Musitano was murdered almost exactly 20 years after he and his older brother Pasquale (Fat Pat ) Musitano assumed control of mafia affairs in the hardscrabble factory town, located a short distance from Buffalo, New York, by orchestrating the May 1997 execution of John (Johnny Pops) Papalia, the Buffalo mob’s longtime captain in the region.
Papalia was shot dead on May 31, 1997. The younger Musitano, 39, was gunned down behind the wheel of his SUV in a his driveway in the Hamilton suburb of Waterdown back on May 2
The Musitano brothers both did seven years behind bars for conspiracy in the Johnny Pops hit. Last week, Canadian mob writer extraordinaire Adrian Humphreys of the National Post newspaper, wrote of Angelo Musitano’s 2012 wedding, which was under heavy surveillance from law enforcement.
Below is a list of the six most notable underworld figures in attendance at the Musitano nuptials, according to Humphreys’ reporting.
