Aaron, I think there’s an opportunity for you here to take The Corner Booth to a whole other level. This is not only really interesting but also exceedingly relevant.

Another excellent interview with a man who understands the business of crime in Montreal. I met Pietro once at a lawyers office, he speaks facts only. Auguri

Another great interview Pietro. You gonna have to write a book!!

This former police officer is so well spoken and very intelligent. He should be running the police department.

Yes DO MORE of these!! Once a week; Crime taLk TuesDAYS in the Corner Booth

He's the real deal. We need him back in the Police Force.

Someone from Canada should obviously start an organized crime podcast channel on KZfaq. Canadian OC the last 20 Years or so is similar to the levels of violence in America from the 60’s-80’s. Americans aren’t close enough to the source to understand all the moving parts and all the players aside from the ones everyone knows but as an American- I find the Canadian mafia extremely fascinating. I love studying mafia history in general but it’s just wild that history in a sense is literally playing out before our eyes. There is just so much potential content for this subject.

Great interview - bring Pietro back for more!

Amazing. Pietro is so knowledgeable. He should run the SPVM.... or at least tell Fady how to run things

another epic interview that has our ears glued to this man. Great job of making us understand the sad overwhelming state of law enforcement in Montreal

Pietro is a wise man

pietro Pioletti need to put out a podcast.

Excellent and informative interview. Thank you

Wow another great interview keep them coming 👍👍👍

Great stuff. Need him on any time anything happens in the city

Another great interview with the well spoken Mr. Poletti!

Great stuff love listening to pietro

It's crazy that he's able to speak openly about these dangerous mobsters and not get whacked, he's got a set on him

That girl in the back is sooo cute, which lead me to say, Montréal's girl are the best !

Forget the cannoli I’m in the mood for smoke meat ,Snowden Deli made me an offer I can’t refuse

good work Gazette. you guys are changing the narrative on Montreal crimes analysis in Québec . very different from what the French media has been doing for decades. they will have to change their information and update their technics to keep up. With you guys.

I'm not surprised that hitmen from Ontario were showing up in Montreal. When the Musitanos were getting knocked off in Hamilton, the neighbours were reporting Quebec plates in the neighborhood.

You are doing a great job! I think the public appreciates this information and the important role the police play. It is sad to hear that veteran police cannot be asked for their valuable knowledge and years of experience, does not make any sense to me. Hope you continue these podcast, thank you ❤

Maybe you can have him on next time and discuss the life of an informant and those who are on protective custody

Officer Poletti knows his business. Kudos!

More of him please. Give him a show I subbed! Je me suis inscrit, nous avons besoin des vieux de la vieille ils ont l'expérience et leur expérience est précieuse.

Can you do one on the MS13 in Montreal

Hey, NJ USA resident here. I read a lot of American Newspapers like The NY Times, WaPo and others. I had never read or watched anything from you guys until you posted this last series of videos. You have a real opportunity to expand your viewership into the American Northeast if you cover more Canadian OC.

Pietro Poletti is a wealth of Knowledge about organized crime in Montreal. He identifies really good information upon which efficient strategies may be developed to lower or drastically reduce crime in Montreasl. His services should be retained by the Mtl police force to train the newcomers. As a journalist you should make a rightup on all what Pietro mentioned and publish it in the Gazette. There is lots of room for improvement to links policing and politics. The prison sentences handed out by our justice system is totally rediculous.. Its a major importance to make people feel safe and the only way of doing that is to listen to Pietro. So make all efforts to make this happen.

I like these interviews but to do it in a restaurant with interference and noise in the background is kinda annoying

Thanks John. Was the Genovese Dinapoli mentioned related to Joey DiNapoli ?

“Charge him with, nothing” 😂😂

he was meeting marty robert the HA guy

Mr . Poletti reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield 😂

love Pietro/ well informed

I can't see Bill or Aaron paying for the meal. Who's paying for the meal?

Excellent

Who was the customer in the back a the end of the video? He's seems realy interrested in the podcast and obviously pietro. It's normal to be curious , but man. He could be more subtile. That was funny to watch him XD

Thank god that women isnt on this one interrupting the flow with irrelevant questions

23 he says the cops are refusing to their jobs if he did not arrest them for obstruction then HE IS THE PROBLEM TOO

Thank God they got rid of the woman

Lack of communication with the public . Neighborhood Watch should be encouraged especially on Domestic Abuse and children abuse

This is excellent. Somebody should do a Toronto version.

Pietro what a classy guy 👍 he should run as a police chief!

I’d be eating that food 😂

Del balso was a multi multi multi millionaire

Where's the mustard??

Pietro Poletti talk about about irish mob why no arrestation of this crime syndicate never happen

Une autre fantastique interview. Merci pour avoir écarté la femme avec ses interventions inutiles.

Aghhhh background noise, seriously guys, you pick a restaurant to record this video?!? Omg, i want to hear this but i can't hear you! 😳

*Once Vito Rizzuto died things started going downhill. It seems that things have stabilized a bit but there are still fringe groups that want to take out Leonardo to make a statement. Balso tried and lost. What people fail to understand is the strength of the Rizzuto Crime Family. Vito did what John Gotti wanted to do with his crime family. And that was put it together to where even if they died it would continue unabated. Vito made inroads and gained incredible loyalty from crime groups and families all around the world. The Rizzuto's will be here a while.*

AARON .. Invite ex police sergeant CLAUDE AUBIN

The food on the table is distracting. Otherwise fantastic!

The Charter and the way that the courts have chosen to interpret it are the biggest obstacles to fighting organized crime. But no worries, Trudeau will fix all this with an even better gun registry. Root causes, don'tcha know...

Can Mr Poletti plsssss just say once "this is CNN". I think with that deep voice he can outdo James Earl Jones.. Great episode btw. Mr Poletti is the encyclopedia of anything to do with the Canadian mob

Avec toutes les fusillades à Montréal et à Montréal Nord... j'ai vu une personne se filmer aller chercher un sandwich et embarquer dans son auto, dire partons vite d'ici avant de se faire tirer dessus... Moi perso j'ai été pendant des années à Montréal nord 42e avenue et nous étions dehors l'été en tout temps maintenant je n'irais même pas à Montréal et certaines personnes disent que Montréal est sécuritaire. Montréal est la ville la plus dangeureuse au Québec c'est la raison pour laquelle 50,000 + familles ont quitté et qu'il y a une crise immobilière le prix des maisons à exploser au Québec avec toute la demande des familles qui veulent sortir de la métropole le plus rapidement possible. J'habite dans les laurentides et le traffic et le nombre de nouveaux arrivés dans le coins dans les 3 dernières années est incroyable au coin il y a 1 km de traffic à chaque matin... bref Pietro à raison la mairesse et le gouv n'est toujours pas en mesure de stabiliser la crise et faire sentir au public que Montréal est sécure. En même temps le taux d'occupation est bureau à Montréal est a son plus bas... c'est parce-que c'est trop dangeureux d'aller à Montréal c'est simple.

It’s only gonna get worst.

Pietro reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield :)

Del Balso was Calabrian but this is not a Calabrian vs Sicilian thing it rarely is

14:20 Are those single use plastic straws?

Why is this filmed in a diner.

So happy the woman is not here this time🤣

How Human Nature Works Human nature is the desire to receive, also called “desire to enjoy,” and it functions by receiving what is beneficial to itself and rejecting what is harmful. Everything in our lives is built upon this calculation where we first try to distance ourselves from harm, and then seek how to draw ourselves closer to what is beneficial. Human nature also includes a multilayering of systems that work simultaneously on still, vegetative, animate and human levels. One of those systems is our bodily one, which operates involuntarily. If our bodies are healthy, then they know what is good for them and draw that goodness to themselves. After the bodily system, there is the emotional system, which also functions relatively according to instinct. From the emotional system, we move to the mind, and from the mind to the intellect, and so on. That is, we have systems over systems that concurrently work on receiving what is beneficial and rejecting what is harmful. Such is human nature and the essence of our lives. Our every desire, thought and action operates according to the calculation, “How can we receive what is most beneficial to us and reject what is harmful?”

Prends des cours de journalisme, tu fais dure

No woman's input this time , ............

Your tactics got him killed what a stupid philosophy

I really like Pietro but he is not realistic about getting police involved at the community level in a city like montreal with as many enclaves as it had. my good friend was profiled by the police and wrongly treated because she and her boyfriend were laughing on the main. You have to identify yourself *if* you commit and infraction, but for some cops the infraction is being alive. She has sadly since passed, and she was an amazing person. whether you want to admit it or not, us french canadians are pretty racist because our current idea of culture is emulating France, and France racism in the style of Marine Lapen has informed the CAQ. Putin's flooding of Europe with refugees has emboldened francophone police and politicians to engage in covert (and not so covert) enthophobic policies against visible minorities. I've been able to walk between the raindrops of police all my life because I am pure laine, my friends have not been so fortunate

You guys don’t have a clue what you are talking about. All speculations and nonsense!

Aaron you should ask if was vaccinated, maybe he'd still be alive, in your boomer worldview saturated in pomposity.

I love pietro. Nice job

Maybe the cops were tired of his act...and knowing he was haunted took the passport and waited .. Till noun boum boum Dead Balso

Wow I guess Donald trump wasn’t wrong when he said we’re a bunch of snow Mexicans
