abstract	Raymond Fernandez was born in Spain in the late 1950's and came to Canada when he was just five years old. He allegedly became involved with the Montreal Mafia, working as a driver for reputed mob boss Frank Cotroni. He was later identified, according to government documents, as being part of criminal organization under the leadership of Vito Rizzuto and Raynald Desjardins. Fernandez was identified in a government report as having “values and attitudes that are profoundly criminal despite having adopted a façade of an honest businessman and good citizen.” In 1979, Fernandez, then 21-years-old, killed a 17-year-old stripper. According to National Parole Board documents, Fernandez killed the teenage girl by punching her in the throat because she refused to have sex with one of his friends. Fernandez was sentenced to 12 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter. Authorities maintain that Fernandez allegedly terrorized other inmates in prison. Many prisoners complained they had been threatened and assaulted by Fernandez, according to government records. On one occasion, in July, 1985, an inmate with a drug debt claimed he received death threats from Fernandez. The following month, a prisoner told officials he had been pressured by Fernandez to smuggle drugs into the prison. The man was found in possession of 138 grams of hashish on his return from a furlough. In September, 1985, a convict claimed to have been assaulted by Fernandez over a gambling debt. The same man also claimed to have been assaulted over a drug debt in the past by a collector working on Fernandez’s behalf. Even prison workers weren’t safe, according to numerous incidents described in government documents. In June, 1982, Fernandez allegedly threatened a guard, supposedly saying his friends would take care of him. In May, 1985, he supposedly told another employee that he knew her home address. The worker said she feared for the safety of her and her family. On another occasion, Fernandez allegedly told a prison employee: “You don’t know me. You don’t know what I am capable of.” Fernandez was granted parole in January 1990. While out, he supposedly worked as manager of a club owned by Vito Rizzuto. In September, 1991, Fernandez was again arrested, this time on drug-related charges. Police supposedly found $32,000 in his possession and three kilograms of cocaine in a vehicle. Fernandez pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 42 months in prison. Fernandez was married in a prison chapel in April, 1992. Among the guests in attendance was Raynald Desjardins. Vito Rizzuto was also invited but was refused attendance by prison officials.
