The Immigration and Refugee Board agreed that Vincenzo (Jimmy) DeMaria presents a danger to the public but believe the risk can be mitigated
An alleged Toronto Mafia boss was granted release from prison to live at home despite government fears he will use his freedom to influence underworld affairs.
Canada Border Services Agency is trying to deport DeMaria, 66, back to Italy, a country he left before his first birthday, and argued he should remain in prison until his deportation proceedings had been decided. The list includes DeMaria’s brother, Giueseppe DeMaria; his cousin, Michele Carabetta; and Luigi Vescio, owner of a chain of funeral homes in the Toronto area, all of whom face charges in Italy for Mafia association after warrants were issued last year.
DeMaria was also told to steer clear of Rocco Remo Commisso, who has, for decades, been named as a leading mob figure in the Toronto area, and Francesco Commisso, named as a mobster from Italy known as “The Chosen”.DeMaria was also told not to communicate with two men from Italy who are his cousins: Vincenzo Muià and Giuseppe Gregaraci. These two visited Canada last year to discuss mob business and met with several men who then visited DeMaria while he was in prison, the IRB heard.
