A case of arson at a used car dealership in Pointe-aux-Trembles Sunday morning appears to have targeted yet again Marco Pizzi, a man believed to be linked the Montreal Mafia.
According to Montreal police, two men dressed in black and hiding their faces with ski masks were seen leaving the scene around 5 a.m. after setting fire to several vehicles in the parking lot.
The business, Gestion Automobile Plus, is not registered to Pizzi in the Quebec business registry, but is widely believed to belong to him.
The same business was firebombed Dec. 14. and on Jan. 2, the Journal de Montréal reported that Pizzi’s own BMW was set on fire at his home in Rivière-des-Prairies.

Pizzi was arrested in May and charged with conspiracy, and importing and trafficking cocaine. He was released on bail while awaiting trial.
But on Aug. 1, Pizzi was the victim of an attempted murder, when his Mercedes was rammed from behind on Grande-Allée Blvd. Montreal East.
Several firebombings have since targeted businesses or buildings related to Pizzi.
