Montreal Mafia :(update)Nicolo Rizzuto, Paolo Renda, Rocco Sollecito, Francesco Arcadi, Lorenzo Giordino

New court documents allege cocaine-importing conspiracies that had ramifications in Montreal, Laval, Boucherville, Toronto and other places in Canada, as well as in the United States, Mexico, Haiti, Jamaica, Colombia, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
As for the sixth presumed leader, Francesco Del Balso, he accepted before Christmas to be tried alone on the same charges as the other five.
For the 38 others who are accused of being linked to the drug importation ring working out of Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Aiport, their preliminary hearing will begin on Feb. 4 at a large courtroom in northeast Montreal built specifically for mega-trials.
All were rounded up during a large police sweep on Montreal's Italian Mafia in late 2006.
During the raid, which was dubbed Projet Colisee, police were able to seize 800 kilograms of cocaine, 40 kilograms of marijuana, $3.5 million cash and $3 million worth of real estate.
