He was on Scoppa’s ”hitlist”. He should’ve died twice by now. You heard that right! They already tried to burn his dealership twice this year as well! During the summer of 2016, Pizzi underwent a bail hearing at the Montreal courthouse following his arrest in Project Clemenza, an RCMP investigation into alleged drug traffickers tied to the Montreal Mafia. Infantino testified during the bail hearing in support of Pizzi’s release. He described himself as a childhood friend of Pizzi’s and told the court he was surprised to learn Pizzi was alleged to have been tied to $2.3 million used to finance five shipments of cocaine that were to be smuggled into Canada.

The charges against Pizzi were dropped a year later when the Crown decided it would no longer prosecute cases related to Project Clemenza.

Shortly after he was released on bail, an attempt was made on Pizzi’s life on Aug. 8, 2016, while he was driving along Grande-Allée Ave. in Montreal. A hit man who became an informant and testified during the murder trial of Marie-Josée Viau and Guy Dion last year said that Pizzi was among a list of people that Salvatore Scoppa, the leader of a Calabrian clan in the Montreal Mafia, had sought to have killed.
