Murder charges have been dropped in two high-profile mob hits in 2017, accused pleaded guilty to lesser charge
This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Murder charges have been withdrawn against a Hamilton man who had been accused in two high-profile mob hits in 2017 – one of which was botched, and led to the death of an innocent woman.
At the time, police had alleged that the trio were involved in both the planning and execution of the two hits. But according to the agreed facts entered as part of Mr. Abdalla’s plea, he had no knowledge of any murder plots – and played only a peripheral role in a criminal organization, at the invitation of his friend Mr. Tomassetti.
The first took place in March, 2017, when Ms. Barberi and her boyfriend, Saverio Serrano, were shot while sitting in a BMW in the parking lot of his Woodbridge, Ont., lighting store. Police have confirmed that Ms. Barberi was not involved in organized crime. Her boyfriend – the son of a notorious Canadian mob figure and cocaine importer – was the target, police say. He survived the shooting, but she did not.
Mr. Tomasetti, who owns a Hamilton-based company called WayV Travel, also flew to Mexico in January, 2018, according to Hamilton Police, who noted that his family has not reported him missing.
