Massimianu Auditore

Don Massimianu "Massi" Auditore (b. 24 December 1923 in Alcamo, Sicily; age 87) is an Italian-Canadian mafioso and retired businessman, who has served as consigliere of the Auditore crime family since his retirement as family leader in September 1991. He immigrated to Canada in 1956 with his wife and children, cofounding the Pacific Northwest franchise of the Sicilian Mafia alongside ten associates in Vancouver the following year, which by 1970 was de facto independent of the Sicily-based organisation, evolving into the modern Auditore organisation. He groomed his firstborn son Beppe (Giuseppe) as his successor, who was killed in 1990; he retired in 1991, and was succeeded by his younger son Salieri.
