Claudia Iacono, the spouse of an alleged mafioso, shot dead

Our police sources are unanimous on this homicide by firearm, rarely the women of the mafia are targeted in the attacks.

The retired sergeant of the criminal intelligence section of the SPVMAndré Gélinas, agrees with his former colleagues.

One thing is certain, we have just crossed a line by killing the spouse. Now, this limit will be crossed by criminal organizations. It just sent the message that no one is untouchable anymore. Not even mafia wivesaffirms André Gélinas bluntly.

Claudia Iacono was the wife of Anthony Gallo, the son of the late Italian mobster, Moreno Gallo, killed in Mexico ten years ago, in 2013.

According to our information, she would have had no connection with any criminal activity.

Her beauty salon attacked

Our sources claim that the police officers of the SPVM had met Claudia Iacono at the turn of 2015 because her beauty salon had been the target of a Molotov cocktail attack.

The assumption at the time was that the gesture was a message to her husband Anthony and brother-in-law Moreno Jr. who were involved in the criminal underworld.

Still according to our police sources, there would be no mistake about the person. The businesswoman was well and truly targeted. The police are unanimous on this point.

Mafia wives are all aware of their husband’s double life. Not only do they know the risk to themselves, but they also enjoy the fruits of crime in the luxury lifestyle.adds André Gélinas.

According to SPVM, the victim didn’t have a chance. The shots hit him fatally. After his crime, the shooter fled on foot.

When the victim was hit, his vehicle was in motion and collided with a building, said Sabrina Gauthier, spokesperson for the SPVM.

All hypotheses are on the table to explain the motive for the murder. Some police officers have advanced that of a resurgence of violence between Calabrian and Sicilian mafiosi.

One thing is certain, the police both on the side of the SPVM that of the SQ expect a series of bloody aftershocks.

The rule of not hurting a mobster’s family has been trampled on.

The new generation don’t care about the old school rules of those who ran the mafia more than a decade agoconcluded a police source, not authorized to comment on the ongoing criminal investigation.

THE SPVM did not arrest any suspects following this homicide which could mark the beginning of an escalation.
