What reads more like a Tom Clancy Crime Novel or Movie of the Week, has Montreal Actor Bruno Diquinzio who played in the hit series Omerta, playing the son of a Mafioso on the run from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). This story writes itself..

An investigation of Serendipity proportions from the slaying of a Canadian journalist, the 1986 Air India terrorist bombing of the coast of Ireland by a Federally Banned BC terrorist group, Canadian Terrorist Hit squads, Murder, Intrigue, Cash, Weapons and Cocaine trafficking and smuggling, and even a tie in to threats by the same British Columbia Sikh terrorist group against a popular Surrey Mayor for speaking out against the terrorist group with banners attending a Canadian Sikh festival, threats serious enough to warrant police protection of the Mayor when she attended the festival.

This investigation certainly has a long laundry list of clues which has tied Bruno into a criminal investigation by RCMP. Certainly Bruno didn't think this tie in would eventually lead Police to him and his criminal activities.

This is not Bruno's first run in with the law in 2000 he serves three years in jail in what seems to be a Crimes Series mirroring his life as a criminal.

Bruno, who has a penchant for disguising his appearance is on the run from Police who issued a Canada wide warrant for his arrest.

Insp. Kevin Hackett, head of the Hayer task force, said he could not comment on how the new charges relate to the probe into the 1998 slaying of the outspoken journalist.

Gingras, 65, and Bolea, 35, made a first appearance in Vancouver Provincial Court on Friday and were remanded in custody until Monday.

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for the arrest of Diquinzo, 42.
