Updated and available for the first time in English, Mafia Inc. reveals how the Rizzuto clan built their Canadian empire through force and corruption, alliances and compromises and turned it into one of the most powerful criminal organisations in North America. Relying on extensive court documents, police sources and sources in the family's home village in Sicily, Montreal journalists Andre Cedilot and Andre Noel reconstruct the history of the Rizzuto clan.
