Recently, reputed mobster Antonio "The Florist" Mucci, 56, was freed on $40,000 bail in Montreal. He is said to be a contender to succeed Vito Rizutto as head of the Montreal Mafia. Mucci, who served eight years in jail for attempted murder in the 1970s, formerly ran a florist shop in the city, hence his nickname. He had, however, a far more notable predecessor.
