"At the time of his murder, Calautti was the prime suspect in a half-dozen murder investigations in the GTA and Montreal.
One was for the underworld assassination of 86-year-old Nicolo (Uncle Nick) Rizzuto of Montreal, who was arguably the most powerful mobster in Canada. A sniper snuck behind Rizzuto’s mansion and killed him with a single rifle shot through the double-paned glass of his solarium early in the evening on Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2010. His wife and daughter were both in the home at the time and were treated for shock. The long-range shot with a high-powered rifle wasn’t Calautti’s style, but he was clearly deeply in the camp of Rizzuto’s bitter enemies.
“(Calautti) was up-close-and-personal,” Tronstad said. “Maybe he had a skill we didn’t know about.”
No charge has ever laid in Rizzuto’s murder." |
