Former Rizzuto Associate Gunned Down In Quebec Parking Lot

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Mar, 2016 12:39 PM

LAVAL, Que. — A man with ties to the Rizzuto crime family was gunned down in a parking lot north of Montreal on Tuesday.

Lorenzo Giordano was shot outside a gym in Laval and pronounced dead in hospital.

Giordano, 52, was released from prison in December with conditions to stay in a Montreal halfway house after serving two-thirds of a 15-year prison sentence.

He was among the half-dozen Rizzuto clan leaders targeted during Operation Colisee in 2006, although his actual arrest came in May 2007 at a King Street gym in Toronto.

Giordano's killing becomes the latest in a spate of Mob-related slayings since 2010.

Quebec provincial police say he was shot at least once.
