The Gambinos place in LCN

[johnny_scootch]

Cabrini these are good posts, I'd never come across these articles if you didn't post them BUT it's such a tangled web I can't make heads or tails of it. Earlier all I could muster was a single comment on the one subject I knew something about and that was Apalachin. Wouldn't the grape racket be run the same way all their fruit/veg rackets work? Mafiosi have been making money off oranges, lemons, olives and artichokes for over a century.

[Frank]

The frozen corpes of Pietro Inzerillo, Frank Cali's brother in law? I thought Tall Pete Inzerillo, who is alive was his brother in law??

[JohnnyS]

Thanks for posting, Carbini. Interesting stuff.

[bronx]

Frank you are correct, that was another inzerrillo, pete did not run out of sicily he was born here they writer has these relatives mixed up

[Frank]

Frank you are correct, that was another inzerrillo, pete did not run out of sicily he was born here they writer has these relatives mixed up

Its not surprising, with the Gambinos and Inzerillos there is alot of guys with the same names.

[Frank]

That wasnt tall Petes Dad I assume.

[mafiastudent]

That PIetro Inzerillo referred to in the article was the one killed in 1981.

[bronx]

correct

[CabriniGreen]

Any ideas on the credit cards with unlimited coverage?

Some kinda massive credit card scam? Is it like, some balance transfer game, dodging the interest? Singapore?

Also, the part where they kinda insinuate there was a guaranteed deal for 500 million worth of grapes? I'm sure I read it wrong... anyone get a better understanding out of it?

Also, I have to say, after reading this article, from on I might refer to the Rizzutos as a Stiddari clan....... they seem very similar, and also have Agrigento backround..... very independent minded......

The other Agrigento mafia, 12 arrests: drugs, axis with Palermo


In Palma di Montechiaro there is the "paracco" that coexists with the Cosa Nostra. Involved a municipal councilor I NOMI
Another mafia would lay down the law in Palma di Montechiaro, in the province of Agrigento . It is not the traditional Cosa Nostra, but it follows its organizational scheme. And this is why the Palermo Public Prosecutor's Office is challenging the crime of criminal association of a mafia type.

A blitz by the carabinieri brings twelve people to prison , one under house arrest. The judge for the preliminary investigations accepted the reconstruction of the deputy prosecutor Paolo Guido and the substitutes Calogero Ferrara, Pierangelo Padova, Claudio Camilleri and Gianluca De Leo. The list opens with the name of Rosario Pace, considered the leader. The surname of the stiddara family is known, who brutally killed judge Rosario Livatino. There is also the municipal councilor Salvatore Montalto among the arrests, he would have been one of the ten leaders of the "paracco".

The axis with Palermo for drugs

Territorial control, extortion, robbery and drug trafficking: the paraccari (as they are defined) worked hard . The investigations started from Palermo to reach the province of Agrigento. In particular, by the figure of Salvatore Troia, considered a man of honor of the mafia family of Villabate, in the Palermo area, arrested in the blitz that disrupted the new dome of Cosa Nostra operating in the Sicilian capital and sentenced in the first degree to nine years in prison.


Troia was in contact with Giuseppe Blando , considered a leading exponent of the Favara mafia family, arrested in the blitz called Montagna but acquitted. According to the indictment, they were organizing a large cocaine trade.

“U francisi” of the Sperone

Troia, nicknamed “u francisi”, would have been the cocaine supplier of a criminal group active in the Sperone district of Palermo and headed by Domenico Macaluso and Vincenzo Militello.


/////Question Here\\\\\\\\\

Is this Militello of the same clan as those involved with, and indicted with the Inzerillo/ Gambinos?


/////Back to the article\\\\\\\

Starting from Palermo, the carabinieri of Agrigento arrived in Palma di Montechiaro where the Rosario Pace parach was active. The paracco , which in Sicilian dialect means umbrella, is a criminal group that is not part of the Cosa Nostra, but has all the organizational characteristics. How the stidda joins the mafia, of which it undergoes the authority, but moves independently.

The tale of the repentant

Giuseppe Quaranta from Favara who became a collaborator of justice explained that “in Palma di Montechiaro, Rosario Pace, meaning cucciuvì, manages everything. Relations with Nicola Ribisi, who is in fact the regent of the Cosa Nostra mafia family in that same center, are of close collaboration, so much so that if Ribisi has to do anything he asks Pace ".

Quaranta himself described the famigghiedde made up of about ten people, the paraccari in fact, and have a hierarchical structure made up of chiefs, sub-chiefs, decina chiefs and so on. Everyone puts themselves under the umbrella of the criminal association.


Among the extortion attempts revealed by the investigation there would be that against the group of companies that was awarded a contract worth two million and three hundred thousand euros as part of the "Neighborhood contract".

"Now there is the party is ... right that we all celebrate ...", said Pace who, to convince the entrepreneur to pay, would have organized thefts and damage to the construction site.

The names of those arrested
Rosario Pace, Domenico Manganello, Sarino Lauricella, Sarino Lo Vasco, Gioacchino Rosario Barragato, Salvatore Montalto, Tommaso Vitanza, Giuseppe Morgana, Gioacchino Pace, Salvatore Emanuele Pace, Giuseppe Blando. Calogero Lumia under house arrest.

Mafia, business between New York and Sicily with the treasure of the old godfathers. A Gambino emissary in Agrigento
by Salvo Palazzolo

The interceptions of the Ros reveal the investment plans of the clans. They also focused on the port area of ​​Catania. A giant recycling channel through a Singapore bank

In the heart of the province of Agrigento, there is an air of reconciliation among the mafia who were once at war. Business is more important now. And in the background there is only one point of reference, the superlatant Matteo Messina Denaro. The latest investigation by the Carabinieri del Ros, which yesterday led to 22 arrests ordered by the Palermo Anti-Mafia District Directorate, photographs Corleonesi and "escaped" together, Cosa Nostra and Stidda. United by the desire for new investments in the legal economy. This is how clans rearrange themselves.

The American mafiosi of the Gambino clan, the relatives of the "losers" in the mafia war of the Eighties, had delivered a very interesting offer to the bosses of Agrigento, those of strict Corleonese faith: through a clean society in Sicily they would have brought a lot of money from a Singapore bank. A maxi-recycling operation. The Americans were also interested in the port area of ​​Catania. Meanwhile, in Sicily, peace trials and new alliances ran between other enemies of the past: the bosses of Cosa Nostra and those of the reconstituted Stidda, which had come back into vogue after the release of two high-ranking life prisoners like Antonio Gallea and Santo Rinallo. The two mafias shared the great deal of brokerage on grape sales in the province of Agrigento. Each clan had its own matchmaker, which was imposed on entrepreneurs. And the bosses pocketed a percentage of the business. From 1 to 3 percent, which is also equivalent to hundreds of thousands of euros.

Communication network

What emerges from the investigation coordinated by the deputy prosecutor Paolo Guido, by the substitutes Claudio Camilleri, Gianluca De Leo and Geri Ferrara is the story of the mafia live. Five authoritative mafiosi from Agrigento ended up in prison, who had relations with bosses from all over Sicily: Calogero Di Caro (at the top of the Canicattì district), Giancarlo Buggea (organizer of the Canicattì district), Luigi Boncori (head of the Ravanusa family) , Giuseppe Sicilia (head of the Favara family), Giovanni Lauria (head of the Licata family).

The prosecutors underline "the uniqueness of Cosa Nostra". And, above all, the privileged channel that the Agrigento godfathers would have had with Matteo Messina Denaro. "They had a current and very secret communication network with the fugitive - the magistrates write in the arrest measure - and they unanimously recognized him as the only one who has the last word" in important decisions. For example, for the appointment of a captain. Or for the deal that the emissaries of the Gambino clan of New York who arrived in Favara proposed to the Sicilians.

What is the channel between the Agrigento bosses and Messina Denaro we do not know. But today there is one more certainty in the long hunt for the boss of Castelvetrano that has not been able to be stopped since 1993: "He is still able to take very delicate decisions for the balance of power of the Cosa Nostra - is the analysis of those who investigate - despite his exceptional ability to obscure and invisibility ».

The American messenger

"You can get money through credit cards," explained the boss Giancarlo Buggea to Simone Castello, one of the postmen of the boss Bernardo Provenzano who, after serving a sentence for the Mafia, had moved to eastern Sicily, managing some farms. The Americans were also interested in the "port areas, there you can make other speeches, the place that interests you is Catania, because Palermo is already there". What was Buggea referring to? He explained that this type of business would yield 20 percent to the local family. "As soon as he comes we meet him - he still said to Castello - we take him to eat."

In April 2019 "the American", as they called him in the interceptions, made a meeting with some emissaries of the clan, in Castrofilippo. And here is the interesting explanation that Buggea gave to Castello, a sign of the ancient ties between the American and Sicilian mafia: "In New York there are good people from Castrofilippo ... I had to go there in 2005, three years before Totò went there Di Gioia, he went to Dominick Purchase, who is a Castrofilippese close to the Gambinos, to that Calì they killed ». It was from Castrofilippo - also explained this Buggea - the then head of the mafia province of Agrigento, Giuseppe Settecasi, the only representative of Cosa Nostra Siciliana admitted to participate in the historic meeting which was held on November 14, 1957, in Apalachin, among all the families of America. Really the story of the mafia. And the pressing topicality.

In that conversation, all to be deciphered, another deal peeped out that the Gambinos would have set up, in Kosovo - so Buggea said - this time with the Palermo relatives, the Inzerillos. One name was mentioned in particular, that of Sandro Mannino, the godson of Totuccio Inzerillo, recently arrested by the mobile squad in the blitz that stopped the reorganization of the Inzerillo group in Palermo. Precisely in that investigation there was talk of credit cards arriving in Palermo, with a lot of money to invest. But where? "They have the money," Castello commented. The treasure of the old mafia, never seized.

Didnt realized you posted this.... thank you my man... there was a paywall....

Ok, so they cartelized the grape distribution, imposed a surcharge, 1 to 3 percent. Like JohnnyScootch said, pretty standard mafia tactics. I was thinking they owned the grapes, like the Grecos owned the Lemon Groves, but they just organize it for a "fee".

What do you guys think about the Stiddari clans? I would classify the Rizzutos as a Stiddari clan.

What produce exactly did Cali specialize in? Just Fruits? Olive oil possibly?

[CabriniGreen]

Ok,........so...... clean society in Sicily means a front company? A corporation? A new fuckin masonry branch, lol? Like what? Were they going to wash the bosses money? Because it looks like these are legitimate businesses in produce, so how do you launder an already clean "500 million in guarantees?" The fake invoices for fictitious purchases? It seems like they want to simulate sales on paper, using phony companies, maybe fake purchase orders for grapes? And wash the money through a compliant bank in Singapore? Is that it?
If so, it sound like a terrible idea. Like you will fuck up a billion dollar racket for no reason. Beyond price fixing, and deciding who sells the grapes to whom, I would JUST RUN THE BUSINESS!! I said the same shit about the NY construction. ....
They better stay the fuck away from NY before they drag the police with them, lol...

What the fuck are NY Gambinos doing with money from a Singapore bank? Like,....... WHAT? They completely lost me here.... Kosovo too..... I now know of the Inzerillos to be involved in Sportsbooks/ betting shops, international cocaine trafficking, gasoline bootlegging, Supplying/ Distribution in Produce markets, massive money laundering, credit card fraud, restaurants in Palermo, anyone else keeping track? Did I miss anything?
