Construction tycoons caught on tape with Mob bosses

A video which aired during the Charbonneau commission has put a few construction magnates in hot water.

According to CBC News, the magnates received between them hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts from Montreal.

The video in question shows these men meeting with high ranking members of the Rizzuto clan. They were exchanging and counting cash at a former Mafia hangout in Montreal.

The videos were taken during Operation Colisée the 5 yearlong investigation into the Montreal Mafia and its associates. The RCMP never used the videos as evidence though, because it wasn’t related to their drug investigation.

The RCMP intercepted 64 000 conversations at the bar through 35 000 hours of footage. 90 people in total were arrested in relation with Operation Colisée.
