Rob Barletta, who has been president of both the London and Niagara charters of the Hells Angels, was hit with a new wave of illegal gambling charges. An interesting detail is that police say one of the properties in Blue Mountain that was seized is worth $7-million.

Here’s a Toronto Star podcast on the unsolved, recent murders of Hamilton mobster Pat Musitano and his former business partner, Grant Edward Norton. This is very much a developing story.

London, Ont. police say they have mounds of evidence in the murder of Grant Edward Norton, formerly involved in business with murdered mobster, Pat Musitano of Hamilton. A key question in the mystery: Who was murdered first?

When Grant Edward Norton’s body was found in London, Ont., questions naturally popped up about his connections to Hamilton mobster Pat Musitano, who was murdered in Burlington on July 10. Steve Buist of the Hamilton Spectator did a great job of digging into their ties before the murders.

Grant Norton was once in business with Pat Musitano, the Hamilton mobster murdeered on July 10. Now Norton is dead – also the victim of murder.

Here’s an interview I did with Scott Thompson of CHML Radio in Hamilton on the last days of murdered mobster, Pat Musitano.

Pat Musitano was big and loud and craved attention. Then he dropped off the map. His past was catching up to him in his final days.
