I recently been watching this show on Netflix called Deep Undercover . It's kind of corny. But if you have nothing else to watch its worth watching.
Deep undercover Season 3 episode 14 is about the Cleveland mob. An undercover FBI agent running a Cleveland, Ohio, strip club winds up in the middle of a violent turf war between rival criminal factions
I did a board search and found someone else had the same questions As me in 2018 , Poster Dwalin2014. So I am reposting here ; hoping one of the more knowledgeable Cleveland guys can weigh in.
A question about the Cleveland mob:
I recently watched an episode from the documentary series “Deep undercover”, about the undercover FBI agent John Tanza, who was investigating 2 mafia crews in Cleveland in the 1990s, headed by Chuck Columbo and Vic Vicarone. Has anybody got information about these 2 guys? I only found a mention of a Charles Columbo in this article

while Vicarone gives almost no results on google search, apart from a list where he is listed as “Vic Viccarone, made guy, retired”

Has anyone got more information? Were Viccarone and Columbo capos, soldiers or associates etc? This was apparently a part of a larger investigation in more states, another episode in the same series is focused on the undercover agent John Ligato, who was investigating Ronnie Marrazzo in Las Vegas (also would be interesting to know more information about Marrazzo), and both episodes mention the arrest of Sal Vitello from Detroit and also several Canadian mafiosi arrested in Buffalo, after they tried to sell a stolen truck of Cuban cigars to the undercover agents (mentioned in this article):
