Police raids target 32 members of two mafia cells : RCMP

The RCMP is leading a major operation operation across the province against what it is calling two Italian-based organized crime cells.

The operation involves 200 officers and is being executed in some 30 locations, including in Montreal, Quebec City, Laval and Gatineau.

They have warrants for 32 people who are all considered violent and dangerous.

Many are believed to have links to Giuseppe De Vito, a Mafia member who died in prison in 2013 of cyanide poisoning.

The two gangs are believed to have filled the criminal void left when police arrested multiple Mafia members in Operation Colisée.

In obtaining their warrants the RCMP was able to use information seized from BlackBerry phones in another police operation.
