Vito Rizzuto made a serious effort to find the man suspected of killing his eldest son and wanted him captured alive to make him suffer, a recently released court document alleges. For years, police sources had described Joseph as a suspect in the murder of Rizzuto’s eldest son, Nick (The Ritz) Rizzuto. Vito Rizzuto was incarcerated in the U.S. in December 2009 when his son was killed. A publication ban on what is contained in the document was partially lifted by Quebec Court Judge Thierry Nadon. Before he died, the influential street gang leader appeared to keep a very low profile in Montreal after an attempt was made on his life just months after Nick Rizzuto was killed.
