Brazen daylight murder of Montreal salon owner shows ‘arrogance’ of Mafia: expert

A brazen daylight shooting of a Montreal salon owner has Mafia experts calling out the ruthlessness and arrogance of organized crime in the city.

Retired Montreal police officer Andre Gelinas said it’s unusual that an extended family member of a Mafia boss would be targeted, particularly a woman. But he said he doesn’t ascribe any code of honour to criminals. Another expert said it’s not that unusual in Mafia circles for there to be retribution against family.

Gelinas said that given the case touches on organized crime and involves a well-known family, there are people who likely know why it happened but won’t share with police. He said it worried him that the incident occurred during the day in a busy parking lot.
