Serafino Oliverio is considered by police to be the leader of the Montreal Mafia clan with a strong presence in northern Montreal, where its members own several bars and other businesses.

Between 2013 and 2015, during the Magot-Mastiff trial, the Lopez-Oliverio clan always conducted its business prudently, before attracting the attention of Sûreté du Québec investigators.

The three brothers, Franco, Giuseppe and Pascual Lopez, who are believed to be Serafino Oliverio’s nephews, were charged with supplying cocaine to a smuggler in the Hocelaka-Mizonou district while not in custody during the investigation. But, they later benefited by stopping the activities.
