What's interesting about NW Indiana is that in 1983/84, the FBI identified the major Outfit guys in that area as Dominick Palermo, Nick Guzzino, Frank Zizzo, Bernard Morgano, Albert Roviaro, and Al Rosetti. No mention of Al Tocco is made. Everything collected in NW Indiana is then given to Palermo (not Tocco) to kick up to the Outfit bosses. Tocco is very rarely mentioned as being involved with NW Indiana, which leads me to believe that either the territory was split between he and Palermo (with Palermo and Zizzo running NW Indiana) or, more likely, Palermo being the overall boss of the area, as Zizzo was described as kicking up to him. Palermo was described as being "direct" with Outfit leadership. Now, whether or not Tocco eventually overtook overall leadership of the area may still be up for debate. At any rate, Palermo was back in charge after Tocco's imprisonment -- if he was not already the #1 guy.
