Canadian Fugitive in 2017 Mob Killings Arrested in Mexico as Extradition Push Advances

Police say Daniel Tomassetti has been held since last August with his return to Canada now tied up in contested extradition proceedings.

Overview

  • Hamilton and York police confirm Tomassetti is in Mexican custody and that authorities are seeking to bring him back to Canada.
  • Investigators say he was arrested in August 2025, a development disclosed publicly this week as the case moves through the courts.
  • Police and court records link him to the 2017 killings of Angelo Musitano and Mila Barberi, with charges including first-degree murder.
  • According to police, Tomassetti left for Cancun in January 2018 and remained at large for years after evading surveillance.
  • He is the last of three suspects identified in the case, with Michael Cudmore later found dead in Mexico in 2020 and Jabril Abdalla convicted of participating in a criminal organization.
