FACT: Saudi govt officials in Ministry of Islamic Affairs stationed in American cities (Imams) provided support to 9/11 hijackers before attacks

FACT: Saudi govt officials in Ministry of Islamic Affairs stationed in American cities (Imams) provided support to 9/11 hijackers before attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. FACT: The FBI and the CIA and the NSA and the DOJ and the CID-DOD NorthCom got out spied by a bunch of Saudi Islamic Clerics (Imams) stationed in America prior to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks!

Omar AI Bayoumi helped Al Hazmi and AI Mihdhar establish a bank account with a $9900 cash deposit. Dis the FBI know the source of those funds? Is there any indication that Omar al Bayoumi acting a as a cutout was the source of those funds? In interrogations with 9/11 boss Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has said that al Mihdhar and al Hazmi were sent to the West Coast with specific instructions to seek out assistance from mosques and the local communities. Did KSM or other al Qa'ida leaders provided al Mihdhar and al Hazmi and other hijackers with specific contacts in the
United States?

The individual responsible for approving the salary for Omar al Bayoumi's no-show job at Dallah/Avco is Hamid al Rashid. His son, Saud al
Rashid, is an member of al-Qa'ida and is listed by the CIA as a "runner up hijacker. " What else did the FBI learn about the connection between Omar al Bayoumi, Hamid al Rashid, and Saud al
Rashid? In a proffer session, Abdullah told the FBI that al Mihdhar informed him that he was a supporter of the Islamic Army of Aden , a group that Abdullah knew was involved in the bombing of the USS Cole. Abdullah had also heard al Hazrni express extremist views on a number of occasions. Dis the FBI know whether Abdullah relayed the substance of these conversations to Omar al Bayoumi or others in San Diego prior to the 9/11 attacks?

I. Southern California Connections "round up the usual suspects", this group of mooks is the focus of the '9/11 Families lawsuit filed on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia'.

1. Omar Al-Bayoumi: Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, provided September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar with considerable assistance after the hijackers arrived in San Diego in February 2000. He helped them locate an apartment, co-signed their lease, and ordered Mohdhar Abdullah (discussed below) to provide them with whatever assistance they needed in acclimating to the United States. The FBI now believes that in January 2000 al-Bayoumi met with Fahad al-Thumairy, a Saudi diplomat and cleric, at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles before going to the restaurant where he met the hijackers and engaged them in conversation. Whether or not al-Bayoumi 's meeting with the hijackers was accidental or arranged is still the subject of debate. During his conversation with the hijackers, Al-Bayoumi invited them to move to San Diego, which they did shortly thereafter. Al-Bayoumi has extensive ties to the Saudi Government and many in the local Muslim community in San Diego believed that he was a Saudi intelligence officer. The FBI believes it is possible that he was an agent of the Saudi Government and that he may have been reporting on the local community to Saudi Government officials. In addition, during its investigation, the FBI discovered that al-Bayoumi has ties to terrorist elements as well. 

2. Osama Bassnan: Bassnan was a very close associate of al-Bayoumi's, and was in frequent contact with him while the hijackers were in San Diego. Bassnan, a vocal supporter of Usama Bin Ladin, admitted to an FBI asset that he met al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar while the hijackers were in San Diego, but denied this in a later conversation. There is some circumstantial evidence that he may have had closer ties to the hijackers, but the FBI has been unable to
corroborate this additional reporting. Bassnan received considerable funding from Prince Bandar and Princess Haifa, supposedly for his wife's medical treatments. According to FBI documents, Bassnan is a former employee of
the Saudi Government's Educational Mission in Washington.

3. Fahad Al-Thumairy: Until recently al-Thumairy was an accredited Saudi diplomat and imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, California. The news media reported that the U.S. Government revoked al-Thumairy's visa in
May 2003 ; the diplomat subsequently returned to Saudi Arabia. The FBI now believes that Omar al-Bayoumi met with al-Thumairy at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles before al-Bayoumi went to the restaurant where he met the 9/11 hijackers. According to witness reporting, al Hazmi and al-Mihdhar were also taken to the King Fahad Mosque while they were in the United States. 

4. Mohdhar Abdullah: Abdullah was tasked by Omar al-Bayoumi to provide al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar with whatever assistance they needed while in San Diego. Abdullah, who became one of the hijackers' closest associates in San
Diego, translated for them, helped them open bank accounts, contacted flight schools for the hijackers, and helped them otherwise acclimate to life in theUnited States.

5. Osama Nooh and Lafi al-Harbi: Al-Harbi and Nooh are Saudi naval officers who were posted to San Diego while hijackers al-Mihdhar and al
Hazmi were living there. After the September 11th attacks, the FBI determined that al-Hazmi had telephonic contact with both Nooh and al-Harbi while al-Hazmi was in the United States. 

II. Other Possible Saudi Government Contacts.

1. Mohammed Quadir-Harunani: Quadir-Harunani has been the subject of an FBI counterterrorism investigation since 1999 and the FBI is currently
investigating whether he had contact with the September 11th hijackers. In June 2000 a call was placed from Transcom International, a company owned by Quadir-Harunani, to a number subscribed to by Said Bahaji, one of the key members of the Hamburg cell. Quadir Harunani is also a close associate of Usama bin Ladin's half-brother, Abdullah Bin Ladin (discussed below), who was assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.-E87.

2. Abdullah Bin Ladin: Abdullah bin Ladin (ABL) is reportedly Usama bin Ladin's half-brother. He is the President and Director of the World Arab
Muslim Youth Association (W AMY) and the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Studies in America. Both organizations are local branches of non-governmental organizations based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to the FBI, there is reason to believe that W AMY is "closely associated with the funding and financing of international terrorist activities and in the past has provided logistical support to individuals wishing to fight in the Afghan War." ABL has been assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. as an administrative officer. He is a close associate of Mohammed Quadir Harunani's and has provided funding for Transcom International. 

3. Fahad Abdullah Saleh Bakala: According to an FBI document, Bakala was close friends with two of the September 11th hijackers. The document also notes that Bakala has worked as a pilot for the Saudi Royal Family, flying Usama Bin Ladin between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia during UBL's exile.

4. Hamad Alotaibi: Alotaibi was assigned to the Saudi Embassy Military Division in Washington, D.C. According to an eyewitness report, one of the September 11th hijackers may have visited Alotaibi at his residence; another FBI document notes that a second hijacker may have also visited this address.

5. Hamid Al-Rashid: Al-Rashid is an employee of the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority and was apparently responsible for approving the salary of Omar al Bayoumi. Hamid al-Rashid is also the father of Saud al-Rashid, whose photo was found in a raid of an al-Qa'ida safehouse in Karachi and who has admitted to being in Afghanistan between May 2000 and May 2001.

6. Homaidan Al-Turki: Al-Turki is a Saudi student living in Colorado . According to FBI documents, he has ties to the Saudi Royal Family and the
Saudi Government is funding his education. AI-Turki was in contact with an individual in Germany in 2001 who was also in contact with one of the hijackers prior to the attacts;.

7. Ghassan Al-Sharbi: Al-Sharbi is a Saudi student who was taking flight lessons in the Phoenix area before the September 11 attacks and is mentioned in the "Phoenix EC." The U.S. Government captured al-Sharbi in the same
location where Abu Zubaida was discovered in early 2002 . After Al-Sharbiwas captured, the FBI discovered that he had buried a cache of documents nearby, including an envelope from the Saudi Embassy in Washington that
contained al-Sharbi' s flight certificate. j8f

8. Saleh Al-Hussayen: According to FBI documents, Saleh Al-Hussayen is a Saudi Interior Ministry employee/official and may also be a prominent Saudi cleric. According to one news article, Saleh Al-Hussayen is the Chief
Administrator of the Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina. An FBI affidavit notes that Saleh Al-Hussayen stayed in the same hotel as three of the hijackers on September 10, 2001. He told the FBI that he did not know the hijackers . The FBI agents interviewing him, however, believed he was being deceptive. The interview was terminated when al-Hussayen either passed out or feigned a seizure and was taken to the hospital; he then departed the country before
the FBI could reinterview him. Saleh Al-Hussayen is 'also the uncle of Sami Al -Hussayen (discussed below). -f8t. On Aug. 20, 2001, Saleh Ibn Abdul Rahman Hussayen, a man who would soon be named a minister of the Saudi government and put in charge of its two holy mosques, arrived in the United States to meet with some of this country's most influential fundamentalist Sunni Muslim leaders. His journey here was to include meetings and contacts with officials of several Saudi-sponsored charities that have since been accused of links to terrorist groups, including the Illinois-based Global Relief Foundation, which was shut down by U.S. authorities last year.Hussayen has a background in Saudi-backed charities. Virginia incorporation records show that during the 1990s, he was a director of the SAAR Foundation which was raided by ICE in Operation Green Quest!

FOLLOW THE MONEY; ICE Operation Green Quest 9/11 Terrorist Funding Investigation in Sarasota Led by Michael Chertoff Shut Down by FBI Because it Linked to Terrorism, WTF? The ICE Operation Green Quest investigation into terrorist funding in Sarasota Fl led by Michael Chertoff was getting results in 2002 to 2003 but the FBI shut it down. In March 2003, Customs and Operation Green Quest were transferred to ICE, within the Department of Homeland Security. From July to October 2003, the FBI provided a list of individuals, businesses, and organizations to the vetting unit that it believed were related to pre-Agreement ICE Operation Green Quest investigations. Customs (ICE) expanded Operation Green Quest in January 2003 by doubling the personnel commitment to a total of approximately 300 agents and analysts nationwide to work solely on terrorist financing matters, (the SAAR Foundation raid). A review of the list by the vetting unit and TFOS identified approximately 30 potential crossover subjects.

9. Sami Al-Hussayen: In February 2003 Sami Al-Hussayen was arrested and charged with visa fraud . According to the indictment, al-Hussayen routed thousands of dollars he received from overseas sources to the Islamic Assembly of North America, an organization also under investigation for ties to terrorism. Al-Hussayen also allegedly set up web sites that promoted
suicide bombing and using airplanes as weapons four months before the September 11 attacks . 

10. Mohammed Fakihi: Fakihi is a Saudi diplomat. Until recently he was assigned to the Islamic Affairs Section of the Saudi Embassy in Berlin,
Germany. Soon after the September 11th attacks, German authorities searched the apartment of Munir Motassadeq, an associate of the hijackers in Hamburg, and found Fakihi 's business card. According to press reports , the Saudis did
not respond to German requests for information on Fakihi. More recently, German authorities discovered that Fakihi had contacts with other terrorists; Fakihi was subsequently recalled to Saudi Arabia.

Toronto Mafia Boss Angelo Figliomeni Has Paw Prints on Banking, Real Estate, & Politicians, Canadians Staying over 30 Days in USA Must Register with INS

Court files indicate that Angelo Figliomeni, alleged boss of the Toronto wing of Italy’s ‘Ndrangheta mafia, was in contact with multiple Toronto-area real estate developers. Police have linked Figliomeni to a sprawling property empire. ‘Tell Me What You Need’: Wiretaps Caught Alleged Toronto Mafia Boss Speaking With Property Developer. Legal documents that reporters obtained from the case show that police also believed the group was laundering money through real estate in the Greater Toronto Area. Since then, Figliomeni and some of his associates have continued to buy up high-priced assets. Over the past three years, Figliomeni has purchased two homes in the York Region, north of Toronto, worth a combined $3.5 million, bringing the total number of properties in his name to eight, as of November 2024.

Canadian Mafia attempting to “infiltrate” government agencies, political positions such as Councillors and departments, a report obtained by Global News suggests. Canada is a constitutional monarchy with King Charles III as the Head of State, and it has a Prime Minister who is the Head of Government. The Prime Minister of Canada is Mark Carney. He was sworn in as the 24th Prime Minister in March 2025 and is the Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. The Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) reported in 2022 -2023 that 29 organized Italian crime groups reportedly have “influence and access” within the public sector, while at least 369 groups are believed to be trying to gain a toehold in government politics.  

Angelo Figliomeni Italian ’Ndrangheta Mafia Boss in Toronto Area Has His Paw Prints all Over Banking, Real Estate and Local Politicians. The Italian mob “infiltration” is primarily taking place within local and “regional” governments outside Toronto. The CISC suggests, and groups “may be using the benefits of this access for interprovincial or international criminal activities.” The CISC report notes that public sector corruption, criminal (Mafia) “infiltration” can boost the cost of government projects by up to 50 per cent, while also damaging public confidence in institutions. 

TORONTO Canada is a cesspool filled with organized crime (Mafia). Canada’s organized crime groups (Mafia) must have been really into HGTV growing up, with real estate being a top interest. Mafia financial crimes such as mortgage and real estate fraud are amongst the top 3 activities in Toronto. 

There's a major U.S. immigration policy shift under the Trump administration requiring most non-citizens, including Canadians staying over 30 days, to register with U.S. authorities, a rule effective April 11, 2025, with penalties for non-compliance, though many already documented individuals (like Green Card holders, those with I-94s) are considered registered, but still must carry proof. This "Alien Registration Requirement" (ARR) mandates carrying proof of status and reporting address changes, with registration done via USCIS, creating new burdens for some Canadians. Beginning Dec. 26, 2025, all non-Americans—including Canadians—who stay in the U.S. longer than 30 days must register with US Govt! Mandatory registration for non-Americans, including Canadians, staying over 30 days starts Dec. 26, 2025, reflects a significant, existing U.S. immigration law (Alien Registration Act of 1940, part of the INA) that was newly enforced and broadened in 2025 by the Trump administration, requiring registration for many, particularly those entering by land without an I-94, but generally not impacting short-term visitors with standard visas or I-94s.

Key aspects include creating a USCIS account, potentially submitting Form G-325R, getting biometrics, and carrying proof, with failure to comply carrying criminal penalties. The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa: For Canadians who make a substantial investment (e.g., buying or starting a restaurant, auto repair shop, clinic) and own at least 50% of the U.S. business, allowing them to live and work in the U.S.. In my business interactions with two men, one from Toronto Canada and one from Alberta Canada who own a business and who live part time in Sarasota Fl, I find them to be thugs and grafters that I had to file lawsuits on! These are the same kind of deadbeats (Canadians) that come to Florida every winter and cheat and chisel every chance they get, they are well known for stiffing wait staff in Florida with a 5% tip or less for service.

Money laundering by organized crime in Alberta, Canada, is an ongoing issue, driven largely by drug trafficking and facilitated by complex schemes involving shell companies, cash-intensive businesses, and online transactions. Law enforcement, such as the RCMP's Integrated Money Laundering Investigative Team (IMLIT) and Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT), has actively investigated and prosecuted cases, uncovering large-scale operations and seizing millions in illicit proceeds.

Angelo Figliomeni is the head of Italian ’Ndrangheta Mafia in the Greater Toronto Area he has his paw prints all over Banking and Politics, be careful who you vote for, check out Italian politicians. The Toronto-area Siderno group has included the Coluccio, Tavernese, DeMaria, Figliomeni, Ruso, and Commisso crime families; Carmine Verduci was also linked with the 'Ndrangheta group, Anthony Graziano was a go between Toronto and the NYC mob. “The Canadian security intelligence apparatus, inclusive of the police, does not have the same protections and the same benefits that our international partners have when it comes down to investigating transnational organized crime threats,” said Calvin Chrustie, a retired senior federal Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. Stephen Schneider, a criminology professor at St. Mary’s University in Nova Scotia, said Italian authorities are “frustrated” by the fact that alleged ’Ndrangheta members have found security in Canada. But there’s little they can do. Figliomeni was previously convicted on weapons charges in Italy and still faces charges there, where court documents show he was wanted for “mafia association.” But he is safe in Canada, where the “mafia association” charge is not an extraditable offense. In fact, it doesn’t even exist in the Canadian legal code. 

A faction of the ’Ndrangheta based in Toronto allegedly relied on relationships with staff at two major Canadian banks to facilitate their financial activities. Now, a joint investigation from OCCRP, The Toronto Star, and Italy’s la Repubblica newspaper reveals how two major Canadian banks were allegedly infiltrated by Figliomeni and his associates. Reporters obtained court records from Project Sindacato, and spoke with law enforcement and banking sources close to the investigation. They also scoured court documents from Italy, where police worked on a parallel investigation in collaboration with their Canadian counterparts. In addition to Martino at RBC, reporters uncovered evidence that Figliomeni’s associates had contact with two TD Bank employees. Police alleged that one of the TD employees was “fully aware of the money laundering endeavors” of the Figliomeni group. Neither of them were charged.

Mob Town Toronto Ont. --Until the mid-1980s, there were at least four major Mafia-style groups in Toronto. The Toronto-area Siderno group has included the Coluccio, Tavernese, DeMaria, Figliomeni, Ruso, and Commisso crime families; Leaders are based both in Calabria and Ontario. Carmine Verduci and Cosimo Stalteri were also linked with the 'Ndrangheta group. A Mafia-owned company is awarded a lucrative contract by the City of Toronto. Mob backed politicians, be careful who you vote for, check out Italian politicians from Toronto to Township of Georgian Bay. Elected Canadian officials are public figures and as such are open to criticism by the Media, and me. A cabinet minister intimidates a mayor over a proposed housing development, and on and on it goes in Toronto. 

Toronto has emerged as a global hub for the Italian Ndrangheta mafia dealing drugs and money laundering and with money comes power, with power comes ventures into politics for the ultimate power trip. The Commisso clan is involved in extortion, money laundering and international drug trafficking using family ties in Italy, Canada, the United States and Australia and as claimed, backing politicians in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) at all levels to gain and edge over the police. Anthony Graziano was an American mobster and consigliere in the Bonanno crime family in New York City. Anthony Graziano was directly linked to Gerlando "George from Canada" Sciascia who also had close ties to the Bonanno crew in Montreal, which included Vito 'Ratso' Rizzuto, it was all connected. Gerlando "George from Canada" Sciascia was a major narcotics trafficker in Canada. "Graziano Clan" names like Anthony Graziano, Joseph Graziano, and Carmine Graziano linked to Organized Crime and Politics in Canada. 

Up next on the Toronto mob scene was the Wolfpack which took in other members, most notably the Alkhalil family; Johnny Raposo of Toronto; Martino "Lil Guy" Caputo of Niagara-on-the-Lake; Shane Maloney of Montreal's West End Gang; and Nick Nero, a drug smuggler from Niagara Falls. The Wolfpack, gang was active in Toronto throughout the 1980s and 1990s, is one of the most notorious Canadian mafia organizations. The Wolfpack leaders used encrypted texts on the Pretty Good Privacy system to communicate, and wrote frankly about plans to commit murders. Martino Caputo had no criminal record and was one of Toronto's most successful businessmen, who owned and operated the well regarded Savourie restaurant from 1996 to 2004. Woodbridge or St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto and East York, are where the homes for Toronto-area Mafiosi are located.


After six years, police are still looking for the final suspect in a pair of Hamilton mob murders — and while police believe the 32-year-old Hamilton man is still alive, the country where he may be is still unclear. Daniel Tomassetti has been wanted in connection with the shooting death of notorious mobster Angelo Musitano and Mila Barberi, an innocent bystander killed in a botched mob hit. Tuesday marked six years since Barberi's death. The secret of the ’Ndrangheta’s mafia success is secrecy itself or, as they call it, omertà. If there is evidence (there is) organized crime has a firm grip in Toronto Ontario's politics and economy, former Premier Dalton McGuinty said he wants to hear about it, he was clueless. 

Former RCMP chief superintendent Ben Soave told a French national television network that organized crime has infiltrated Toronto Ontario at least as much as it has in Montreal Quebec, if not more. The Canadian equivalent of the FBI is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or RCMP. Toronto Ontario has the same organized crime groups involved in corruption, and they are probably even more active than in Montreal Quebec former RCMP boss Ben Soave said in 2013. Then Premier Dalton McGuinty was responding to a joint investigation by the Toronto Star newspaper and CBC's French-language investigative program Enquête, which turned up information that what’s thought to be the mightiest branch of the mob, the Calabrian Mafia or 'Ndrangheta, has extensively infiltrated his Toronto province's business and political spheres in 2013.  

Former Premier Dalton McGuinty seemed clueless about the Toronto mob in 2013. It did not get better with time, currently in 2023 far left liberal Justin Trudeau is Canada's 23rd Prime Minister and the mob has flourished in Toronto, bigger than ever. Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) 2021 Report on Organized Crime reveals they identified thousands of organized crime groups. The report also reveals these organizations have infiltrated everything from real estate to government. And people say their local government in Toronto isn’t accessible. Clearly they are, you’re just not a big enough criminal to access them.

Photo credit the front page of the Toronto Sun: A hitman shot and killed Eddie 'The Hurricane' Melo a former professional boxer and mob enforcer in 2001. Melo's real job was as the agent for the Cotroni mob family in Toronto, bringing in strippers and video game machines from Montreal to various Toronto barsIn 1993, a Toronto police report listed Melo as a member of the Toronto Siderno Group. Years ago, most underworld settling of accounts was committed by made members or close associates. No outsiders. Ever. That hasn’t been the case in the slew of gangland rubouts that has rattled the Toronto Ontario underworld over the past three years. The bitter battle for control of drugs, gambling and construction rackets has even seeped into Mexico where Ontario mobsters have been found shot to death in ditches. Or have simply just disappeared. The latest installment in the bloody saga played out in front of Domani's restaurant on Roncesvalles Ave. 

At about 4 p.m., the owner of the Domani Restaurant (permanently closed), Paolo Caputo, 64, was taken out with a pair of slugs. Despite published reports, Caputo’s links to organized crime are fairly tentative, experts told the Toronto Sun, in spite of a couple of brushes with the cops. His brother, however, is in the clink for the Little Italy murder of a cocaine rival. “If Caputo was a ‘Ndrangheta family boss in Toronto he was a real sleeper,” James Dubro told the Sun. “I think it was definitely a message thing.” He added: “But sleeper bosses do happen: People you least suspect actually being quietly and secretly a cell leader.” Cops and observers have been aware for some time that the mob has turned to street gangs to do their dirty work. Guns, dope or dough is their reward. “We have noted in several cases the use of what appear to be street-gang associated gunmen for TOC (traditional organized crime) ‘hits’,” Toronto Police Det.-Insp. Hank Idsinga told the Sun.
photo credit national post. POLITICS AND THE MOB IN TORONTO: July 3rd, 2023 - Convicted killer Vincenzo DeMaria, 69, is fighting deportation to Italy where he will be tried for murder. Vincenzo 'Jimmy' DeMaria, denies allegations pointing to him as an influential member of a powerful global group called the 'Ndrangheta in Toronto, in reality he is the Boss of Bosses. The York Region baker, businessman and convicted killer Vincenzo (Jimmy) DeMaria says he wasn’t a bit worried when he heard Montreal Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto wanted him dead. Around the same time police warned that Rizzuto wanted him dead, DeMaria’s family bakery, Angel's Bakery & Deli on Rogers Road, in York Region was torched in 2012. Vincenzo (Jimmy) DeMaria said he is related by marriage to some members of the Figliomeni family who also face Mafia-related charges in Italy. Commisso 'ndrina is a powerful clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal and mafia-type organization in Calabria, Italy. The 'ndrina is based in Siderno, but also has a branch in the 'Greater Toronto Area' in Canada as part of the Siderno Group. Former RCMP chief superintendent Ben Soave said that Ndrangheta organized crime has infiltrated Toronto Ontario's business and political spheres. The Commisso clan is involved in extortion, money laundering and international drug trafficking using family ties in Italy, Canada, the United States and Australia and as claimed, backing politicians in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) at all levels to gain and edge over the police. Police hands are tied in Toronto when dealing with the mob. The Canadian equivalent of the FBI is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or RCMP. Organized crime groups committed 36 murders in 2019 and 42 in 2022 in the Greater Toronto Area, the highest number of any area in Canada.

MOB HIT: Antonio “Tony Scratch” Fiorda was shot and killed outside an upscale Etobicoke restaurant in 2019. “Tony Scratch” was a veteran mobster and enforcer who provided security for some of Toronto’s powerful Mafia figures. Antonio Fiorda, 50, went by the simpler name Tony, but was known on the street by a more memorable nickname: “Scratch.” The targeted daylight attack on Fiorda in the parking lot of a busy strip mall across the road from Sherway Gardens, a large shopping mall further highlights the instability in Canada’s underworld, both in Toronto Ontario and Montreal Quebec. Fiorda, of Maple, north of Toronto, was considered a trusted insider in what police call the Commisso crime family. In 1996, Fiorda was charged after Toronto police seized an AK-47 assault rifle, a pipe bomb and other explosives from a North York home, a charge he disputed. He did prison time for that and vowed to never return. 

Toronto Police announced that Saaid “Postman” Mohiadin a Toronto rapper has been charged with first-degree murder of Antonio “Tony Scratch” Fiorda, while Jordan Thompson, 18, is charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, they were paid $60,000 for the hit. Italian authorities say Canada, especially Toronto Ontario, has become a base for the Calabrian Mafia, or ‘Ndrangheta particularly for money laundering and drugs because Canada is perceived to have a lax approach to dealing with the Mob. Italian anti-Mafia prosecutor Roberto DiPalma revealed to a joint Radio-Canada/Toronto Star investigation that Canada may have become a place where Mob figures can hide, hoping that Canadian justice won’t touch them. “It is 10 years since we told the Canadians to pay attention because ‘Ndrangheta is very present in Canada, mostly in Toronto,” said prosecutor Nicola Gratteri. “We did not have good collaboration with the Canadian police.” Court files indicate that Angelo Figliomeni, alleged boss of the Toronto wing of Italy’s ‘Ndrangheta mafia, was in contact with multiple Toronto-area real estate developers. Police have linked Figliomeni to a sprawling property empire.

There are more Italian mobsters in Toronto Canada than all of New York City and Staten Island combined. Toronto wiseguys like “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria, Cosimo "The Quail" Commisso, Pasquale "Pat The Whale" Musitano and Giacomo "The Shark" Cassano are/were the real deal killers straight out of Calabria Italy. The less you know the better it is for your health’. Giacomo Cassano, 46, of Toronto, on the run since 2019 remains wanted by Toronto police. A high ranking Mafia fugitive in Toronto fought for years to avoid being exactly where he is now, arrested in Italy, Domenico 'the blade' Cugliari, an alleged member of the ’Ndrangheta crime family, married a Canadian woman while living in Toronto, but will now face trial in Italy. Former Toronto mob boss Carmine Verduci was shot to death outside the Regina Sports Café in Woodbridge, Ontario on April 24, 2014. Carmine Verduci was allegedly part of a group that became involved with Salvatore Montagna, head of the Bonanno crime family of New York City. Anthony Graziano was consigliere in the Bonanno crime family directly linked to Gerlando "George from Canada" Sciascia, it's all connected. The Calabrian Mafia or 'Ndrangheta is a prominent Italian Mafia-type organized crime syndicate based in the peninsular region of Calabria and dating back to the 18th century. It is considered the most powerful organized crime group in the world. 

Giuseppe "The Master" Commisso, supreme boss of Siderno owns a  laundry mat that serves as cover for him. Toronto Canada is one of the strongholds of the ’Ndrangheta crime family, along with countries such as Germany, Australia and the United States. Giuseppe "The Master" Commisso, supreme boss of Siderno directly links to Rocco Remo Commisso who has for decades been named as a part of the mob in Canada and is a brother of crime boss Cosimo "The Quail" Commisso. In 1993, Cosimo Commisso was arrested, and later convicted of five murders and three attempted murders between May 1989 and July 1991, and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1998. After 26 years in prison, on January 9th 2019, the Court of Appeal of Naples acquitted Commisso in a review process. Bosses of the ’Ndrangheta have been in Canada for decades, hiding in plain sight among friends and family. Many are Canadian citizens, others are avoiding prison or rivals in Italy, usually in the Toronto area. The Toronto-area Siderno group has included the Coluccio, Tavernese, Vincenzo “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria, Fingers Figliomeni, Ruso, and Commisso crime families; Carmine Verduci was also linked with the 'Ndrangheta group whose leaders are based both in Calabria, Italy and Toronto Ontario. The Commissos are one of the 'Ndrangheta's biggest and most important clans, involved in the global cocaine business and money laundering out of Toronto. 

Top Mob Hit Man Sam "Iceman" Calautti gunned down at a Vaughan Canada GTA stag party April 25, 2021. He was the prime suspect in a string of his own mob killings “He was a stone-cold killer,” said retired RCMP Staff Sgt. Larry Tronstad — but the hit man had enemies. The hundred or so stragglers who remained outside the Terrace Banquet Centre in Vaughan didn’t do a thing when the hit man approached Salvatore (Sam"Iceman") Calautti’s sleek black BMW X6 after the bookie’s stag. Calautti and his long-time associate James Tusek didn’t seem particularly concerned either as the gunman walked closer, around 1 a.m. on Friday, July 12, 2013. Whatever the reason, the gunman got up close to the BMW before he opened fire, killing Sam "Iceman" Calautti and Tusek before either of them could manage a single shot. A police source said he wondered if the killings were set up by someone Calautti trusted. “It’s hard to think someone snuck up on him. Sam "Iceman" Calautti was the type of guy who always carried a gun.”

The three main Italian mafia-style groups — the Cosa Nostra, Camorra and Ndrangheta (Toronto) — operate worldwide but keep a very low profile outside of Italy, making it difficult for law enforcement agencies to detect these organized crime groups. There are five main New York City Mafia families, known as the Five Families: the Gambino, Lucchese, Genovese, Bonanno, and Colombo families. The Italian American Mafia has long dominated organized crime in the United States. Accused Toronto Mafia boss Vincenzo “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria (he owns a bakery) says ethnic profiling and anti-Italian stereotypes are behind efforts to deport him from Canada for organized criminal activity.

Mob Guy Shot and Killed July 2nd 2018: Investigators with the York Regional Police Homicide Unit are gathering video cam and home security video along the street since the shooting, hoping for hard physical evidence. Police have not yet released any suspect information in the murders of Cosimo Ernesto Commisso, 33, of Woodbridge and Chantelle Almedia, 26, of Toronto. Commisso was related to Cosimo 'The Quail' Commisso of Siderno, Italy, considered by police there to be an ‘Ndrangheta organized crime boss. Anthony Graziano was an American mobster and consigliere in the Bonanno crime family in New York City. Anthony Graziano was directly linked to Gerlando "George from Canada" Sciascia who also had close ties to the Bonanno crew in Montreal, which included Vito 'Ratso' Rizzuto, it was all connected. Toronto-area police say more than two dozen people were arrested and millions of dollars in luxury items have been seized in what they're calling the force's largest organized crime take down. York Region Police Chief Eric Jolliffe says the arrests followed an 18-month investigation involving a family from Italy that was allegedly operating a criminal organization in the Greater Toronto Area for about three decades. Jolliffe says the investigation, dubbed 'Project Sindacato', was launched after the force noticed a spike in crime in Vaughan, north of Toronto, and involved about 500 officers from eight police forces across the province.

Mob Guy Shot and Killed July 13, 2020: Pasquale (Pat The Whale) Musitano was killed Friday, but Mafia experts say the notorious Hamilton mobster was living on borrowed time long before the fatal shot was fired. Close calls and brushes with death had stalked the scion of the Musitano crime family for years. He survived one shooting that peppered his home with bullet holes in 2017, and another, just over a year before his death, that sent him to hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. "He was a dead man walking," said Antonio Nicaso, a Mafia expert who teaches courses on organized crime at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. "In the world of the Mafia, revenge does not lapse. Revenge does not have a statute of limitations." Ultimately, the 52-year-old couldn't escape those who were gunning for him. On Friday, he was shot and killed outside a strip mall in Burlington, Ont., west of Toronto.

Canada is so pervasive within the 'Ndrangheta Crime Family that when a gangster in Calabria Italy speaks of "America," he really means Canada. Cosimo Commisso is/was boss of one of 10 'Ndrangheta clans in Ontario, based in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa and London. Anti-Mafia prosecutors in Italy probing a powerful international crime network say they have uncovered the new face of the Mafia in Toronto, alleging there are seven dominant mob families in the city, each with a boss who sits on an influential board of control. The clans in Canada climbed “to the top of the criminal world,” Italian prosecutors say, by becoming masters of the global drug trade by establishing a “continuous flow of cocaine” from Argentina. “In the city of Toronto there existed seven crime families whose members were mostly of Calabrian origin,” says the prosecutors’ report, a document similar to an affidavit used by authorities to authorize arrest warrants, which was translated from Italian by the National Post. 

The Italian authorities allege that the seven primary ‘Ndrangheta families in the Toronto area are led by: Vincenzo Tavernese, 44, of Thornhill; Cosimo 'Fingers' Figliomeni, 45, of Vaughan; Antonio Coluccio, 40, of Richmond Hill; Cosimo 'The Quail' Commisso, of Toronto; Angelino Figliomeni, 47, of Woodbridge; Vincenzo “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria, 56, (he owns a bakery) of Mississauga; and Domenic Ruso, 65, of Brampton. Cosimo Commisso, whose ethnicity is Calabrians, told the Post “If somebody commits a crime, so be it. Charge me and if I am guilty I will pay. I always take the consequence of my actions. I don’t blame nobody for my actions. I have an extensive criminal record. I did my time. I came out, 21 years ago, 1989, I did my 10 years of parole". The Italian probe targeted the ‘Ndrangheta as it has eclipsed Sicily’s Cosa Nostra as Italy’s most powerful and richest Mafia organization, dominating Europe’s drug trade.

Police and federal authorities have alleged for years that Vincenzo “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria, 56, of Mississauga is a leading member of the ’Ndrangheta, the proper name of the Mafia formed in the Italian region of Calabria, which is one of the world’s most powerful crime groups. To reduce the danger Vincenzo “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria poses, Karri-Lynn Hennebury, an IRB member adjudicating his case, ordered him not to communicate directly or indirectly with several alleged or accused mobsters and mob associates who live in Canada and Italy. The list includes “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria’s brother, Giueseppe (Joe) DeMaria; his cousin, Michele Carabetta; and Luigi Vescio, owner of a chain of funeral homes in the Toronto area (you stab em we slab em), all of whom face charges in Italy for Mafia association after warrants were issued last year. DeMaria is also banned from communicating with two brothers in Vaughan, north of Toronto: Angelo Figliomeni and Cosimo Figliomeni. Authorities in Italy deem them Mafia fugitives. York Regional Police said Angelo was the head of the Figliomeni crime family when he was arrested last year in Project Sindacato, a large anti-Mafia probe. Police and federal authorities have alleged for years that Vincenzo “Fat Jimmy” DeMaria is a leading member of the ’Ndrangheta. DeMaria was also told to steer clear of Rocco Remo Commisso, who has, for decades, been named as a leading mob figure in the Toronto area, and Francesco Commisso, named as a mobster from Italy known as “The Chosen”. All of those men live in or around Toronto.

A May 2018 news report explained the Siderno group's initial involvement in Canada. "Siderno's Old World 'Ndrangheta boss sent acolytes to populate the New World" including Michele Racco who settled in Toronto in 1952, followed by other mob families. According to investigators in Italy, by 2010, Toronto's 'Ndrangheta had climbed "to the top of the criminal world" with "an unbreakable umbilical cord" to Calabria. The report stated that there were seven senior 'Ndrangheta bosses in the Greater Toronto Area, some on the Camera di Controllo, the "board of directors". By mid-2019, Police in Italy and in Canada were convinced that "the ’Ndrangheta’s Canadian presence has become so powerful and influential that the board north of Toronto has the authority to make decisions, not only in relation to Canada’s underworld, but also abroad, even back in Siderno Italy."

Starting Dec 26, 2025 Trump administration requiring non-citizens including Canadians staying over 30 days to register with U.S. Immigration. Trump administration's renewed enforcement of the Alien Registration Act (INA), most non-citizens (including Canadians) staying over 30 days must register with U.S. Immigration (DHS) by April 11, 2025, with a separate rule requiring Canadian border crossings starting December 26, 2025, to use facial biometrics, turning these into serious compliance requirements with potential fines and jail time for non-compliance, as detailed in advisories from late 2024/early 2025. There's a major U.S. immigration policy shift under the Trump administration requiring most non-citizens, including Canadians staying over 30 days, to register with U.S. authorities, a rule effective April 11, 2025, with penalties for non-compliance, though many already documented individuals (like Green Card holders, those with I-94s) are considered registered, but still must carry proof. 

This "Alien Registration Requirement" (ARR) mandates carrying proof of status and reporting address changes, with registration done via USCIS, creating new burdens for some Canadians. Beginning Dec. 26, 2025, all non-Americans—including Canadians—who stay in the U.S. longer than 30 days must register with US Govt! Mandatory registration for non-Americans, including Canadians, staying over 30 days starts Dec. 26, 2025, reflects a significant, existing U.S. immigration law (Alien Registration Act of 1940, part of the INA) that was newly enforced and broadened in 2025 by the Trump administration, requiring registration for many, particularly those entering by land without an I-94, but generally not impacting short-term visitors with standard visas or I-94s. Key aspects include creating a USCIS account, potentially submitting Form G-325R, getting biometrics, and carrying proof, with failure to comply carrying criminal penalties. The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa: For Canadians who make a substantial investment (e.g., buying or starting a restaurant, auto repair shop, clinic) and own at least 50% of the U.S. business, allowing them to live and work in the U.S.. In my business interactions with two men, one from Toronto Canada and one from Alberta Canada who own a business and who live part time in Sarasota Fl, I find them to be thugs and grafters that I had to file lawsuits on! These are the same kind of deadbeats (Canadians) that come to Florida every winter and cheat and chisel every chance they get, they are well known for stiffing wait staff in Florida with a 5% tip or less for service.

Saudi Arabia Funds CAIR in USA to Support Terrorism as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Designates CAIR as Foreign Terrorist Organization


DEC 9th, 2025....Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR (FLORIDA) as ‘foreign terrorist organizations’, follows Texas’ lead, ABOUT TIME! https://nypost.com/2025/12/09/us-news/florida-gov-ron-desantis-designates-muslim-brotherhood-cair-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-follows-texas-lead/

NOV 18th, 2025....Texas Governor Abbott Designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR As Foreign Terrorist Organizations and transnational criminal organizations. The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable. https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-designates-muslim-brotherhood-cair-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations

Private Investigator Bill Warner Claims Saudi Arabia has Funded CAIR in USA That Supports Terrorism Must Open the Books, Follow the Money. NYP writes Nov 26, 2024; Great news for America: Poisonous advocacy group the Council on American-Islamic Relations is going to have to come clean about its donors. The good news comes thanks to a spectacularly failed move by CAIR to shut down Loria Saroya, a former employee who criticized the group for (among other things) lack of transparency around funding after she left it in 2018, via a defamation lawsuit. A judge has ruled that the group must open its books for discovery efforts in Saroya’s own countersuit. CAIR has long been suspected of entanglement with terror groups like Hamas. 

Saudi Arabia continues to serve as the capital of international terrorist financing, including the 9/11 al-Qaeda planes operation. Through groups such as the Muslim World League, the International Islamic Relief Organization, and the al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, as well as through Islamic affairs bureaus at Saudi embassies and consulates worldwide, Saudis continue to fund radical Islamic groups that support or engage in international terrorism. Some cases are both clear cut and extreme. For example, after his arrest in Indonesia on June 5, 2002, Omar al-Farouq, al-Qaeda's operational point man in Southeast Asia, told his interrogators that al-Qaeda activities in the region were funded through a branch of al-Haramain. According to al-Farouq, "money was laundered through the foundation by donors from the Middle East." In another case, Italian wiretaps monitoring members of a European al-Qaeda cell overheard a senior operative reassuring his subordinate about funding: "Don't ever worry about money, because Saudi Arabia's money is your money." 

Other cases are far more subtle, particularly the activities of a host of purportedly political or social-activist groups operating in the United States. For example, Omar Ahmed, co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) an organization that has received significant funding from Saudi Arabia also helped found the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) in cooperation with Mousa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas leader and Specially Designated Terrorist. IAP, a Hamas front organization, was the first to publish the Hamas charter in English. Given this background, CAIR's pro-Hamas and pro-Hizballah positions should come as no surprise; the group regularly rises to the defense of arrested al-Qaeda terrorist suspects like those held in Gitmo Cuba and openly supports terrorist groups such as Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Sami al-Arian Tampa Fl, al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Review of FBI Interactions with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The FBI developed a policy on its interactions with CAIR based in part on evidence presented during the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development! The evidence at trial linked CAIR to leaders in Hamas, a specially designated terrorist organization, and CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. CAIR has publicly supported such terrorist groups as, Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Sami al-Arian Tampa Fl, al-Qaeda (AQ), HAMAS, Hizballah, Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Sam Mustafa Tampa Fl, and on and on and on!

Operation Green Quest 9/11 Terrorist Funding Investigation in Sarasota Led by Michael Chertoff Shut Down by FBI Because it Linked to Terrorism, WTF? The ICE Operation Green Quest investigation into terrorist funding in Sarasota Fl led by Michael Chertoff was getting results in 2002 to 2003 but the FBI shut it down. In March 2003, Customs and Operation Green Quest were transferred to ICE, within the Department of Homeland Security. From July to October 2003, the FBI provided a list of individuals, businesses, and organizations to the vetting unit that it believed were related to pre-Agreement ICE Operation Green Quest investigations. Customs (ICE) expanded Operation Green Quest in January 2003 by doubling the personnel commitment to a total of approximately 300 agents and analysts nationwide to work solely on terrorist financing matters. A review of the list by the vetting unit and TFOS identified approximately 30 potential crossover subjects. The FBI believed that these subjects had ties to terrorism or terrorist financing-and, accordingly, per the Agreement's collaborative procedures-any related ICE investigations should be transitioned to JTTFs. According to ICE officials, in late-October 2003, TFOS demonstrated that 10 of the approximately 30 subjects had a confirmed nexus to terrorism or terrorist financing, and ICE agreed to transition the related ICE investigations to JTTFs. As a result of conflicts between the FBI and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE, in May 2003 the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff signed an agreement concerning terrorist financing investigations. Operation Green Quest 9/11 Investigation in Sarasota Fl was disbanded in June 2003 it had commenced in October 2001, it lasted just 20 months, WHY? DHS acknowledged that the Department of Justice, through the FBI, was the lead agency in the fight against terrorist financing, and that any terrorist financing investigations would have to be conducted under the auspices of the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force.   

FBI Report Names Saudi Islamic Affairs Department & Office of Da’wa Imams like Anwar al-Awlaki in San Diego and Muneer Arafat in Sarasota as Support Network for 9/11 Hijackers. The 9/11 Commission Report confirms that many of the muscle hijackers were recruited through local mosques run by Imams hired and payed by the Saudi Islamic Affairs Department & Office of Da’wa that links to CAIR. Sarasota Imam Muneer Arafat was employed by Saudi Arabia Ministry of Islamic Affairs that built Mosques in America and funded the 9/11 Hijackers. Imam Muneer Arafat was spreading Jihad in St Louis, he was banned at the Grand Gateway Mosque, but he was hired March 2000 in Sarasota Fl, why? Saudi Arabia, of course, has a deep historical and symbiotic relationship with the radical Islamic ideology of Wahhabism. The Saudis continue aggressively to export this intolerant and virulent form of Islam to Muslims across the globe via Imams and CAIR, and to inculcate it in the major institutions of Islam worldwide. Wahhabism is known throughout the Muslim world for its puritanical and severe approach to the teachings of the Muslim prophet Mohammed. It preaches violence against non-believers or infidels, and those include not just Christians, Jews, Hindus, but also Muslims who don't adhere to the strict Wahhabi faith. It serves as the religious basis for Osama bin Laden and Al- Qaeda.
