On this date in 1999: Gerlado aka “George from Canada” Sciasia was killed in NY. Gerlando "George from Canada" Sciascia (February 15, 1934 – March 18, 1999), was a New York City mobster, and a caporegime of the Bonanno crime family, who was also the Rizzuto’s representative from New York, and was a major narcotics trafficker in Canada, and the United States. Sciascia was born in Cattolica Eraclea in the province of Agrigento, Sicily, the same area as Montreal Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto. In 1955, Sciascia immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, later moving to the United States, to New York City three years later in 1958. In the 1990s, relations between Massino (Boss of the Bonanno Family) and Sciascia had started to sour. Scascia was becoming more independent of Massino and more aligned with Vito Rizzuto. Growing richer and stronger, Rizzuto became less willing to defer all decisions to the Bonannos. In early 1999, at a wedding anniversary party, Massino gave the following message to Salvatore Vitale: "George has got to go, it’s time to send him a receipt” The plan was for fellow capo Patrick DeFilippo to invite Sciascia to a meeting to resolve an ongoing disagreement with Graziano over a marijuana racket. Massino wanted the Sciascia murder to look like a drug deal gone wrong to avoid friction with the Rizzutos. On March 18, 1999, Sciascia received a note at his jewelry store telling him to meet DeFilippo at a location in Manhattan. There, DeFilippo told Sciascia that they were driving to a different location and the two men were picked up by mobster John Spirito. As Spirito drove the vehicle, DeFilippo shot Sciascia to death with seven bullets. The gunmen then drove to a deserted Bronx street, where they dumped Sciascia's body. #gerlandosciascia #georgefromcanada #joemassino #salvitale #bonannofamily #bonannos #bonannocrimefamily #vitorizzuto #montrealfamily #rizzutofamily #6thfamily #pattydefilippo #pattyfromthebronx #genegotti #heroin #cattolica #cattolicaeraclea #mafia #ny #straightenedout #truecrime #badblood #organizedcrime #montreal #mafia #5families (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp73NBJrtlH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
