About this episode
In this episode I delve into Vito Rizzuto. The Rizzuto Crime Family of Canada is a very underreported Mafia family. They in essence were a very powerful criminal enterprise aligned with the Bonanno Crime Family but would become essentially their own family. Vito would become the boss after taking over from his father Nicolo.
