The victim of a resounding and shocking murder last week in Montreal, the daughter-in-law of the late mafioso Moreno Gallo, Claudia Iacono, was taken to her final resting place on Wednesday afternoon.
Several dozen people attended the funeral of the 39-year-old woman at Saint-Viateur Church in the Outremont borough of Montreal.
At the end of the funeral, which lasted 75 minutes, the coffin containing the remains of the businesswoman was then placed in the hearse, where it will be buried in the next few hours.
As is always the case at the funeral of a person closely or remotely associated with organized crime, several plainclothes police officers discreetly observed the scene, equipped with video cameras, cameras and telescopes.
Claudia Iaconno met a tragic end on May 16, at the end of the afternoon when she arrived in her vehicle at her beauty salon located on Jean-Talon Street, in the Côte-des-Neiges district. .
A shooter appeared out of nowhere before opening fire at close range in the direction of the mother. At least six projectiles were fired at the victim, who died at the scene.
As for the suspect, he fled after completing his dirty work and has still not been arrested.
According to our information, Claudia Iacono was followed in the days preceding the murder. Moreover, the day of the crime, the killer would have waited for long minutes for his victim to arrive at his beauty salon before taking action.
Claudia Iacono is the wife of Anthony Gallo, one of the sons of the late mobster Moreno Gallo, murdered in November 2013 in a restaurant in Acapulco, Mexico.
Prior to his death, Moreno Gallo was known to have disloyalty to then-Montreal mob boss Vito Rizzuto.
According to our sources, the murder of Claudia Iacono could have been committed in response to the attempted murder of the co-head of the Montreal mafia, Leonardo Rizzuto, on March 15 in Laval.
But by ordering the assassination of the businesswoman, the masterminds of the murder broke an unwritten law within organized crime that children and women are not targeted.
