Looks great, I will follow your work assiduously !

I was recently doing some research on the "First Mafia War", and it seems that Toto Catalano was arrested a first time in New Jersey where he was a "mechanic" but managed to escape from the interpol agents, and a second one in Weil Otterbach, Germany in 1966. No idea what happene...

-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...

Nice, thanks !

Ok thanks Joel. I guess it's still a possibility that they were also wrong about his place of birth then

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?

I found this chart of Operation Iron Tower for those who may be interested https://theblackhand.club/forum/ext/dmzx/imageupload/files/57e66cbe10ee6dc8692a8c73d96a8f57.png Note: Joseph Cuffaro is not the mafioso of the Caruana-Cuntrera clan, but an individual from Palermo. He later became pentito and...

Adding to the drugs/Mafia list: The Heroin Trail by editors of Newsday. Good accounting of the heroin scene of the 1970s. The Swiss Bank Connection by Leslie Waller +1 for The Heroin Trail, extremely well documented, although some passages concerning the SAC and the SDECE are a bit exaggerated, but...

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...

Yes, father-in-law, sorry about that. Here is one of the few articles about Pinto to make up for my mistake ...

At least 2 of Joseph Sunseri's brothers were also mafiosi in New Orleans: Salvatore was prosecuted for the murder of David Hennessy in 1891 and Filippo who died in 1914 had Charles Matranga, Vincenzo Moreci and Vincent Marciante as pallbearers during his funerals Other Italian names were among the p...

I briefly return to Giuseppe Mammone and the attempted murder of Thomas Cennamo in Buffalo because I was rereading my notes recently. So on October 29, 1917, Giuseppe Mammone and 4 other individuals (Tony & Domenico Tripi, Bruno Talbo & Anthony Masdea) attempted to murder Thomas Cennamo, a s...

Does wrestling count? If so, some sources say that Dino Bravo (former WWF star) was a nephew by marriage of Vic Cotroni.

Actually, I'm quite familiar with Queensland's Camorra, the Barbaro/Sergi families and connections or with the "Melbourne Market Murders", but not really with Bruno Romeo, so thanks will read this ASAP
