Police say he sat with Vito Rizzuto, the head of the Mafia in Montreal, at a baptism in 1996; was with several mob bosses at a funeral in 1999; and seen in a café in 2000 with Vito Rizzuto and Tony Mucci, a mobster who shot and injured a reporter at Le Devoir newspaper in 1973. A police informant also said Gallo acted as a mediator between the Hells Angels and the Mafia.
Gallo dismissed this as “casual contact” and “ill-advised associations” not involving crime.
On April 4, 2007, the connections became more incriminating when the RCMP gave prison officials a 27-page report on Gallo that came from Project Colisée, the large police operation targeting the Mafia.
Police alleged that criminals referred to him by the nickname “Solid Gold,” presumably after the strip club of the same name he once ran, and that he intervened in several underworld disputes, which he denies, apart from one argument involving a massage parlour in which he helped smooth things out because of his “peacemaker” philosophy, he said.
