The murder of Samy Tamouro may mark the beginning of a purge within organized crime caused by the “betrayal” of hitman Frédérik Silva, who decided to become an informant.

It is a police theory that is being seriously considered by authorities in Canada, Quebec and Montreal.
“The numerous police sources we consulted today believe that the upcoming police operations to arrest Montreal's most famous gangsters will destabilize organized crime to such an extent that Silva's accomplices, including Samy Tamouro, have every interest in being part of them to be eliminated who are capable of becoming victims of a police raid to silence those who already know too much about their actions,” explained the journalist and presenter of JE, Félix Séguin, in an interview with the Show “Le Bilan”.
A police source also told the journalist a few weeks ago that Samy Tamouro would be killed. The 37-year-old's head had apparently been priced in for a long time.
This murder is in addition to several other organized crime deaths that have occurred in Montreal in recent years.
It was the death of Vito Rizzuto in 2013 that would have led to a game of dominoes within the mafia. The Montreal clan has been in decline for a decade, and this decline accelerated with the arrest of Frédérik Silva and the fact that he agreed to become an informant.
Ultimately, almost all of Montreal's influential organized crime figures could be replaced by police as part of the expected purge.
