Re: Articles dedicated to the French side of the Pizza Connection + Interview with Judge Giovanni Falcone (1988-1989)

Re: Montreal Mafia status - Post Rizzuto Era
French is the official language in Quebec ... Do like me with English or Italian articles, translate them with Google or your internet browser, it take approximatively 10 seconds

Re: How a Sicilian mobster helped organize crime in Brazil
-Antonino Salamone was married to Salvatore 'l'Ingegnere" Greco's sister, so he wasn't the mastermind behind the Ciaculli Massacre (Michele Cavataio, Pietro Torretta and few others were) -Salamone was more than an accountant, he was the representant of the San Giuseppe Jato mandamento in the Cu...

Re: The Tunis Family
Very late response, but it seems that according to the FBN Sam Maugeri was born December 16, 1897 in Catania and not September 13, 1892 in San Giorgio Morgeto. Was the FBN wrong?

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra
Parts of the corsican mafia has always had a nationalistic flair to it as well. Not really. It has happened that Corsican "mafiosi" have had links with the independence activists, like Charles Pieri who was associated with Francis Mariani of the "Brise de Mer" gang, but this typ...
