Even while the Bronfman family maintained a steady march toward respectability, some members of the family could not wholly abandon the old syndicate ties.
In 1972, the Montreal Crime Commission issued a report identifying Edgar Bronfman’s nephew Mitchell Bronfman as a crime partner of Willie Obront, one of Montreal’s leading gangsters, .
According to the report, Mitchell Bronfman’s link to Obront “extends into illegal activities in which they mutually or jointly indulged The special kinds of favours they did for each other and the resulting advantages of each in the fields of loan sharking, gambling, illegal betting, securities, tax evasion and corruption.”
In the mid-1970s, Obront and another Mitchell Bronfman crony, Sam Rosen, were both jailed for drug-money laundering.
One joint venture of Obront and Bronfman, the North Miami nightclub Pagoda North was identified by American law enforcement authorities as a syndicate hangout frequented by Vito Genovese, the New ‘York City mafia boss.
