Awesome JD much appreciated pal

Oh shit, that's the mugshot I was talking about.

I used to have a picture of him, but lost it. To the best of my recollection, he looked something like this:

You're probably right, but I have a lot of respect for the original researchers here and one way of showing that is to not share their materials without permission.

I shouldn't have mentioned having seen his photo, just wanted to say that Santora did have a face and wasn't just a shadowy ghost... though if any family was going to have ghosts in the administration it'd be the Genovese.

Unless the guy in question took the photo or is the sole owner of the original photo or print then I don't see how he could be upset about someone posting it.

Sorry, it is from someone else's research and I didn't save it anyway. It could easily show up at some point on here. Sorry if it seems like I'm acting secretive since it's just a mugshot, it's I just try not to use people's original research without permission.

Yeah B , that would be awesome if u could post it

Could you kindly post B?

Someone sent me his mugshot privately a couple years ago. Was good to finally put a face to the name. I don't know a whole lot about the Genovese family but he is someone who stood out to me. It's interesting to me how powerful this crew and the Greenwich Village crew were for so long, and probably still today.

Got it. Thanks H K

[quote="Hailbritain"]Great info thanks hairy , obviously this guy didn't like to be in photos ?? I've never seen one of him[/quote]

I don´t have his rapsheet, but chances are that he was arrested at one time and a mug shot of him taken. But I haven´t seen one of him. He seems to have flied under the radar for a very long time. Hard to say if it´s due to pure luck or delibarate strategy from his part. To my knowledge, Cafaro doesn´t implicate him in any crime (other than limited involvement in the Maselli killing). By Cafaro´s wording, it´s sounds like Santora was more of a overseer of street crimes and not actual participant in crimes once he rose above soldier. I could be wrong though.

[quote="Cheech"]does anyone have the transcripts of Cafaros testimony[/quote]

You can find it in the [i]25 years after Valachi[/i] report. Just google it and you´ll find it.

does anyone have the transcripts of Cafaros testimony
