	Tim Appleby on Bloodlines
		When a small army of police finally descended on the outwardly respectable Woodbridge, Ont., home of cocaine baron Alfonso Caruana in the early hours of July, 1998, wrapping up a three-year, problem-racked investigation that had reached around the world, the raid came as small surprise to the increasingly antsy mobster.
		In the weeks and months before, wiretaps showed that Caruana knew he was under surveillance, after a lifetime of staying one jump ahead of law enforcement.
		And while Caruana has by now assuredly been replaced as leader of the Caruana-Cuntrera's Canadian franchise, he was, by every estimate, a major-league player.

		It is one of the few public signs that contradicted Caruana's pose as a $400-a-week immigrant car washer who rented a two-story house with his wife Giuseppina in the upper-middle-class Toronto bedroom suburb of Woodbridge.
		The gray-haired Caruana, 52, is so discreet that the only figure many neighbors have seen in his doorway this year is the plastic Santa Claus he failed to put back in his attic after Christmas.
		That anonymity ended last week when Caruana's face was plastered across newspapers and television screens after his arrest as the alleged kingpin of a global drug-trafficking empire.

	The family man
		Caruana, of course, believed the pay phones were secure, but police were gathering intelligence--who was travelling where, business schemes, the corruption of bank employees, government officials and politicians.
		Pasquale Caruana hired Marlys Edwardh, who blitzed the prosecutors with so many challenges, requests for translations, tapes, documents and other items for disclosure that Tronstad wrote sarcastically in a memo: "I wonder, does she know she forgot to get DNA samples from all the officers involved?'' Months of wrangling ensued.
		Alfonso Caruana left various deals in the works; the Caruana-Cuntrera family carries on its dark global business without his leadership.
