"...Domenic (Mico) Napoli, a mobster who was in conflict with Panepinto over gambling territory. Napoli and his associate Antonio Oppedisano disappeared and were believed murdered in early 2000.
Police investigated but couldn’t prove the theory that Panepinto cremated the bodies at his discount casket shop on St. Clair Ave. W.
Even though police didn’t prove their case, there were severe repercussions for the Napoli and Oppedisano murders. Oppedisano was the son of a major ‘Ndranghetta boss in Southern Italy. Not long after his disappearance, Calabrian mobsters visited Montreal and spoke to Rizzuto.
Sources say that Rizzuto quickly distanced himself from Panepinto, saying he had nothing to do with the killings of Napoli and Oppedisano.
In October 2000, Panepinto was shot dead while driving his Cadillac in West Toronto. That murder was never solved." |
