Mafia Deportation Case Falls Apart | Ottawa News

Description

For over 40 years, Canada’s government has tried to deport Vincenzo DeMaria—a man they claim is a top ’Ndrangheta boss—yet every attempt has failed. After a grueling year of hearings and 20,000 pages of evidence, the Immigration and Refugee Board just ruled AGAINST deportation, calling the government’s case “speculation” and “flimsy.” Convicted of murder as a teen in 1982, DeMaria, who came to Canada as a baby, has survived multiple legal battles by denying Mafia ties—even as the state relied on questionable Italian wiretap transcripts it later withdrew. His lawyers called it foreign interference, and the board agreed: no solid proof he’s involved with organized crime today or ever. The minister’s appeal? Dismissed. DeMaria stays.
