The elder Renda had moved with the elder Rizzuto to New York in 1924, but then went to Argentina and returned to Italy in 1936 where he married Domenica.

Calogero Renda was a cousin to Vito Rizzuto Sr., the father of Nicolo Rizzuto, who was murdered in the United States in 1933.

1939

Paolo Renda (September 10, 1939 – disappeared May 20, 2010, later declared dead September 2, 2018 ) was a Sicilian-Canadian mobster who served as consigliere of the Rizzuto crime family based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, who has not been seen since May 2010.

Renda was born on September 10, 1939, in Cattolica Eraclea, Sicily.

He came from an important Mafia clan as his father, Calogero Renda, was married to Domenica Manno, the daughter of a locally powerful Mafia boss.

1964

Paolo immigrated to Canada in 1954 and married Vito Rizzuto's sister Maria on September 5, 1964.

The same year, he became a Canadian citizen.

1972

In 1972, Renda was sentenced to four years for conspiring to commit arson of his hair salon in Boucherville in 1968 with the intention of defrauding insurers; he served two years and nine months of the sentence.

1978

Shortly after the murder of Paolo Violi in 1978, an arrest warrant was issued for Renda, who subsequently fled to Venezuela but returned to Montreal when the warrant was dismissed.

The police believed that Renda's father, Calogero, had planned Violi's murder.

He then became a consigliere for the Rizzuto family.

1980

In the 1980s, Renda ran the illegal gambling houses in Montreal for the Rizzuto family.

Renda lived on the "Mafia Village" district on Gouin Boulevard with his house located between the houses owned by Nicolo Rizzuto on one side and his son Vito Rizzuto on the other.

A Montreal police reported noted: "It is interesting to note that these properties on Antoine-Berthelet Avenue are part of a real estate development created and managed by Paolo Renda and that the majority of the lots and homes have been sold to persons suspected of criminal activity".

2000

When Gaetano Panepinto, the Rizzuto family's Ontario agent, was murdered in October 2000, Renda along with Vito, Rocco Sollecito and Francesco Arcadi were part of the delegation that attended his funeral on October 10, 2000 in Toronto.

During the funeral service, the Rizzuto delegation were observed speaking with the leaders of several Ontario outlaw biker gangs who also attended the funeral.

Renda was a regular of the Consenza Social Club where he usually spoke with Vito and Francesco Arcadi.

He was the owner of a construction company, Renda Construction, and the co-owner of a funeral home, the Loreto.

Along with Vito, Renda was also a major shareholder in BT Céramique, a firm which laid the tiles for the federal ministry of justice in Ottawa with the American embassy and the Casino de Montreal.

The firm of BT Céramique was later found to have engaged in tax fraud in a hostile audit by the Canada Revenue Agency with the firm not paying hundreds of thousands in sales taxes due to the federal government.

The journalists Peter Edwards and Antonio Nicaso wrote about Renda: "He could easily have passed for an accountant, which was appropriate since he was the keeper of financial secrets for Vito's family: he knew who was paying what to tom in the lucrative construction industry; he oversaw gambling in family-controlled bars and cafés...He carried himself with a Zenlike air of casual success and often appeared at the Consenza Social Club in a stylist sports jacket and open business shirt...".

2004

After Rizzuto was arrested in 2004, a committee of caretaker leaders for Vito Rizzuto was formed of Renda, Nicolo Rizzuto, Rocco Sollecito, Francesco Arcadi, Lorenzo Giordano and Francesco Del Balso.

Between 2004 and 2006, Renda was recorded as visiting the Consenza Social Club 667 times.

of the four members of the "executive committee", Renda was the least talkative.

Several times, Renda was recorded as criticizing Lorenzo Giordano for his heavy drinking and his tendency to engage in rash, violent acts, saying he was likely to "attract attention".

Renda was especially critical of the incident in April 2004 where Giordano shot an Iranian drug dealer, Javad Mohammad Nozarian, at the Globe restaurant in public as showing bad judgement on his part.

Renda was videotaped going into the Consenza Social Club 668 times between 2004 and 2006.

2005

On 23 May 2005, a wiretap recorded Rocco Sollecito telling Beniamino Zappia that Renda was one of the five members of the Rizzuto family who along with Nicolo Rizzuto; Vito Rizzuto; Francesco Arcadi; and himself were only entitled to the first claim on any profits made by the family.

On 22 November 2005, Renda was recorded telling Francesco Del Balso that he needed to "talk" to a real estate agent Félix Plyas about his claims that a Montreal businessman was linked to the Mafia.

In response, Del Balso made a threatening phone call to Plyas telling him that he could not use "our name" as "we don't want that".

During the four-year Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigation known as Project Colisée, the RCMP penetrated the group's inner sanctum by hiding cameras in the Consenza Social Club where the leaders had business.

2006

On 15 March 2006, Francesco Del Balso reported about his efforts to recover money from a failed financer, John Xanthoudakis.

Bel Balso began by saying "I wanna take care of it, but it's just-" when Renda interrupted to admonish him "yes, but not this way. I'm sorry, you have to tell me, 'yes' or 'no'".

On 30 August 2006, Domenico Marci, a Rizzuto family soldier, was killed in a case of mistaken identity with the real target being Aracdi.

Renda was one of the Rizzuto family leaders who attended an emergency meeting to discuss what to do in response, where he pressed for patience from the younger leaders such as Lorenzo Giordano.

During the meeting, Renda advised Aracdi to return to Italy, saying to him: "See, what you gota do now, find an island, take your wife and leave".

After Marci's murder, Renda was always seen in public with at least five bodyguards.

Renda was arrested on November 22, 2006, along with dozens of others including Nicolo Rizzuto, Rocco Sollecito, Francesco Arcadi, Lorenzo Giordano and Francesco Del Balso, as part of Project Colisée.
