Rizzuto ran loan-sharking racket at casino, report says

MONTREAL -- Alleged mobster Vito Rizzuto runs a loan-sharking operation at the Montreal casino, ordered the killing of a lawyer who had ripped him off and is considered the head of the Mafia in Canada, according to a police report filed with a Montreal court.The report was prepared for federal lawyers in their successful bid last month to deny bail to the 58-year-old Montrealer, who is fighting extradition to the United States, where prosecutors allege he was involved in the 1981 slayings of three renegade Mafia captains in Brooklyn.
