Crazy how Cali was one of the most powerful wiseguys in America was killed by a Qanon nut job lol


But I’m really interested in these Sicilian contacts and businesses. I wonder how much money is involved with it and what’s the relationship with different clans. I’ve always wondered about the logistics of modern day LCN and how they still have contact with the old country

Dunno why people always say that, people just age differently. Faffy from Philly just done like 30 years, mid 70s and he looks great, you think he wasn't stressed?

Cali not getting arrested a single time until he was in his mid 40s is impressive.

This is the park with 'the cannon' where Amuso and Casso used to meet.

Great post Johnny, keep'em coming.
Wow all the places they could meet...

There's other stuff from Cali's sentencing. Nothing too interesting though just stuff like Frank Inzerillo putting up property for Cali's bail, Cali told the judge he had next to nothing in his bank accounts but had shit loads of money in property and was building a multi million home (go figure) He didnt own a car as he sold it after he was indicted, Cali broke his thumb playing basketball in a Queens detention facility and could need surgery.

And just to clarify, Pete Inzerillo was identified as a soldier in 2002. No name of the Florida based soldier that was in Cali's crew. Anyone have any guess on who that could be?
Didn’t Cali have a guy (or guys) down in Florida who had contacts with a drug cartel in Latin America? Can’t remember if they were supposed to be a Mexican cartel, or Colombian, or whatever.
Roberto Settineri? Sicilian mob associate from Palermo he was associated with Cali. He attended John Ruggerio's funeral in 2008.

And from I think I've figured out who the soldier was. Gaetano Napoli. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mafia-susp ... -italy-us/
The Napolis were one of the original Pizza connection families, along with all the usual suspects, Inzerillos, Adamitas, Spatolas, Manninos, Cefalus, Gambinos, ect......

They were in the Venezuelan corporate structures set up by the Inzerillo/ Rizzuto consortium too....

It would make sense if he coordinated the traffic to Sicily for Cali.

Good call Tony you're def right. No one in there right mind would describe three benches and a statue as a park...that's what threw me off.
I know, that's what caught me too. I was like, since when is there a park there??

I'm assuming this is the tiny triangle "park" down in Bay Ridge where 4th/5th Ave and 95th St meet?
From Mob Boss: The Life of Little Al D’Arco, the Man Who Brought Down the Mafia
On Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, Casso called Al and told him he needed to see him immediately. He said he'd be waiting for him by "the cannon". It was their shorthand name for the small park at the foot of Fort Hamilton Parkway in Bay Ridge beneath the soaring Verazzano-Narrows span to Staten Island.
