was the "guiding spirit" of boxing in
Montreal and the boxing fights in Montreal were "probably rigged" to allow Cotroni to profit by betting against the boxers favored to win fights. The report listed Melo as one of the boxers who was associated with Cotroni. The Bernier commission report was so damning in its revelations of corruption in boxing that the report was censored by the Quebec government, and the full report has never been released to the public. It is believed that Melo's sudden career decline in the early 1980s after a promising start in the late 1970s was due less to a decline in his boxing abilities and more to him intentionally losing fights against inferior opponents to allow Cotroni to profit by betting against him. It was an open secret in the 1980s that Cotroni controlled boxing in Canada and that the Canadian boxing matches were rigged for his benefit, often in a clumsy and flagrant fashion as one policeman recalled: "Sometimes they missed a guy and he still fell down". The Ontario Provincial Police believed that Melo as a boxer was under the control of Cotroni. The police believed that the way that Melo lost fights in the 1980s against opponents whom he was widely expected to defeat were the result of match rigging with the popular rumor at the time being that Cotroni bribed boxers to lose by supplying them with free heroin, which could be either used and/or sold. With his career in decline, Melo retired in 1986. During his boxing career, Melo won 24 matches out of 34.

2003, Gagné pledged guilty to second-degree murder after striking up a "sweetheart deal" and a promise of financial security by the Crown
Attorney Steve Sheriff and the Crowns star witness Fernando Ribeiro. Gagné was sentenced to life in prison, being eligible for parole after 12 years in exchange for testifying against his employer. A deal that the Crown and his witness Ribeiro contrived. The Melo family had been forewarned by the detectives NOT to trust Ribeiro. Gagné received funds in his canteen from Ribeiro along with his wife Maria. In total Gagné has received $ 80,000.00. In 2016 Gagné married and Ribeiro also provided the wedding rings and an envelope containing an undisclosed amount of money. The police believe that Melo's murder was linked to a "historical conflict within the 'Ndrangheta (in Ontario) and that the organization has had with other Italian criminalized groups (in Canada)." In 2005, a Toronto businessman, Manuel Dasilva, went on trial with the Crown alleging that he hired Gagné to kill Melo. The trial ended with Dasilva acquitted. Gagné has often applied for parole, but the fact he committed two murders while on parole for armed robbery has made his applications controversial. Melo's daughters along with other family members are vehemently opposed to his release on parole, arguing that the fact he killed while on parole in 2001 makes him undeserving of freedom again. On 18 February 2022, Gagné was denied full parole, but was granted limited release.
522:. Raposo was so close to Melo that he was known as his "clone" or as "little Eddie" as Raposo took to dressing, speaking and having the same mannerisms as Melo. Melo was considered to be a "legend" in the "Little Portugal" neighborhood on College Street and Raposo idolized him. Raposo followed Melo's advice as he accepted Melo's aphorisms such as "a jealous man is a dangerous man", "the phone is just for ordering pizza", and "a hungry man is a dangerous man", as advice to live by. Melo also advised Raposo to never answer the door on Halloween, saying that Halloween was a dangerous holiday for gangsters as it was dark in on 31 October and that there were too many people wearing masks on All Hallows Eve, making it all too easy for a hitman to don a mask and strike on Halloween. Melo came to prefer mortgage fraud and stock market fraud in his last years while his protégé Raposo became one of the biggest cocaine dealers in Toronto, buying from the Sinaloa Cartel of Mexico.

Melo described
Cotroni as one of his best friends and admitted that Volpato was the godfather to one his daughters. Melo also admitted to being a godfather to one of Arviv's daughters. Melo was asked why he should be allowed to stay in Canada given his association with known criminals such as Cotroni, Arviv, and Volpato, leading for him to reply: "All I know is that they've been OK with me. They've never asked me to do any criminal activity or get into trouble. They've only been supportive in whatever it was that I had to do". Melo's friendship with Arviv ended in a bitter dispute over money.

The hitman turned informer, and the police faked the murder of Melo with a photograph being taken of a crash test dummy designed to look like Melo being shot up and covered in fake blood. The hitman showed the photographs of the crash test dummy and was paid for the supposed murder, leading to those who had paid him being charged with conspiracy to commit murder. In April 1989, Melo's first marriage ended in divorce, with his ex-wife, Sine, moving to

If I had a black eye, I didn't put on dark glasses to hide it. If I got a little scratch and come home bleeding, my mother would go crazy. But the way I figured it, you can't give pain to somebody else and not expect to get a little bruised yourself". In 1971, his lifelong obsession with boxing started after he watched the famous

The journalist James Kernaghan described the young Melo: "He was fast, a terrific puncher and he could take a punch. Growing into a light heavyweight (175 pounds) he was still mowing them down.
