Deceased mafia boss's wife “uncooperative” with trustee

Deceased mafia boss's wife "uncooperative" with trustee

The wife of the late kingpin of mafia loan sharking, Roger Valiquette, suffered another setback on Monday as an appeals court rejected her request in a bankruptcy case.

Valiquette's wife, Diane Brazio, requested a notice of discharge from the bankruptcy trustee, which was denied. The court rejected her plea, citing “lack of cooperation” from the woman.

After that she had no right to the property of her husband who was murdered in 2013.

A man who lived a life of luxury with a wallet behind the backs of investors – from whom the late mafioso borrowed money and then lent it to others at high rates – took many hits.

“Financial Collapse”

Recall that on January 7, 2021, Diane Brazio and several entities controlled by her were ordered to pay more than $2.8 million for a fraudulent scheme.

Then Superior Court Judge Diane Brazeau concluded that he “actively participated in the financial collapse.”[une firme de Valiquette] And drives it towards bankruptcy.

Judge declares good and valid seizures by creditor 9185-4067 Quebec Inc, particularly land in Laval and Pointe-des-Cascades and luxury Mercedes AMG convertible. The amount owed to this company is $4 million.

Ms. Brazio's creditors rejected an offer from her, which forced her into bankruptcy in June 2021.

Banished

For the next month, she refused to leave her home. So the bankruptcy trustee obtained an order of dismissal. In September, Diane Brazio, during a hearing with the trustee, committed to providing information and documents that she did not.

In March 2023, believing she was entitled to a statutory discharge, she requested a discharge, which was denied, as she had failed to send a notice of objection. The trustee cited “his lack of cooperation” and “failure to deliver on commitments made during the trial,” according to the latest ruling on Monday.

Appellate Court Ms. Brazeau's appeal was dismissed.
