jacques.parizeau
The Quebec french daily La Presse has published an embarrassing
document today regarding Montreal Canadiens brothers Andrei and Sergei
Kostitsyn's involvement with organized crime members arrested in a
police investigation termed "Operation Axe".
The presumed criminal, Pasquale Mangiola, 38, has been arrested for
drug trafficking and it is alleged that he served as an intermediate
for several criminal factions.
During the investigation that led up to "Operation Axe" the police
taped several telephone conversations with Mangiola's knowledge.
Several of them involved the Kostitsyn brothers.
According to La Presse, Mangiola is a good friend of the Kostitsyn
brothers.
The 38 year old was at the service of the two Canadiens players,
performing favors for them that involved nights on the town, women,
and luxury cars.
Canadiens defenseman Roman Hamrlik also has ties with Mangiola.
Hamrlik has been seen in bars in the company of Mangiola and the
brothers.
La Presse questioned Andrei Kostitsyn after the game against the
Penguins on Thursday. The elder of the brothers confirmed that he knew
Mangiola, but that he didn't know anything about him.
Don Meehan, the player agent for both Kostitsyns, made it clear that
does not know the individual in question.
Additionally, Meehan and the Canadiens organization, sought to clarify
that the demotion of Sergei to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs earlier in
the week, was strictly done for reasons involving hockey.
