Montreal police say they arrested two suspects Friday morning in connection with the fatal shooting of Claudia Iacono, the daughter-in-law of Montreal Mafia member Moreno Gallo, in May 2023.
Iacono, 39, was shot five times in broad daylight on May 16, 2023, in the parking lot of her beauty salon, Salon Deauville in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough.
The two suspects, aged 28 and 31, will appear at the Montreal courthouse today and will remain detained while awaiting further legal proceedings.
These are the third and fourth arrests made in the course of the investigation.
A first suspect, Joel Richard Clarke, 28, was arrested near Toronto on June 6, 2023, and charged with first-degree murder. A second suspect, a 30-year-old man whose identity has not been released, was arrested on Aug. 14, 2023. He’s believed to be the mastermind behind the killing, according to police.
Iacono was married to Anthony Gallo, whose father, Moreno Gallo, had ties to the Montreal Mafia. Moreno Gallo was killed in Mexico in 2013.
