Moreno Gallo, a convicted killer and a man believed to be an influential figure in the Montreal Mafia, continues to find himself in trouble despite having not been convicted of a crime in more than three decades.
The Italian born Gallo is scheduled to have a detention review hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board Monday afternoon as he prepares to challenge a second attempt to deport him to his birthplace.
It is the latest in a series of headaches Gallo has experienced after he was caught on videotape bringing large amounts of cash to the Consenza Social Club in St. Léonard, which served as headquarters to the Mafia for years, while the Rizzuto organization was being investigated in Project Colisée. Gallo continues to serve a life sentence he received in 1974 after pleading guilty to murdering Angelo Facchino, a known drug dealer, in downtown Montreal.
