He didn't leave because of people using his info on here, he only took issue with random people online seeing his photos on the board and sharing them without credit which was unrelated. No need to get into it again but there was never an issue between him and the regulars here.

Very cool that he's still crediting this forum considering he left because people were taking his info without crediing him.

So his brother must be "Joe Caffe". Didn't think of the name connection.

I hadn't heard of Antonio Egizio until now, thanks for the tip Stroccos & PolackTony!

Antonio Egizio, “‘o Tedesco” (the German). He was a rather significant Camorrista, capo of the Egizio clan based in Castello di Cisterna/Brusciano in the Northern suburbs of Napoli (Camorristi from this area also had tied to Chicago and NYC in this period). The Egizio clan was affiliated with the Nuova Fratellanza Napolitana (dubbed “Nuova Famiglia” by the Italian press), the Camorra bloc that was closely aligned with Cosa Nostra, as a number of its leading figures were inducted into Cosa Nostra. After their bloody conflict with the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, the NF split and went to war with each other, culminating in a major “maxi blitz” by the Carabinieri on 100s of Camorristi from these clans. A bunch of them fled Italy at that time, with Egizio lamming it to Germany, where he already had prior business connections (hence the nickname).

In 1987, he moved to Cleveland with his wife (she was a US citizen from Cleveland who grew up in Germany, where she later met and married Egizio) after surviving an assassination attempt. In OH he set up a boutique clothing store, EGY Eurostyle in the Kamms Corner section of West Cleveland (fashion boutiques being a common trade for Camorristi in the US), as well as an import-export business and a construction contracting company. While he was not known to have been engaged in any criminal conduct during his time in America, US authorities were aware of who he was and were watching him. In 1990, a US Attorney’s office OC strike force in Cleveland tipped off Italian authorities that Egizio was traveling to Germany, leading to his arrest at the Munich Airport on charges related to a 1985 armored car robbery and allegations that Egizio had attended a major Camorra summit in 1988.

Egizio was convicted on the robbery charges in 1993 and sentenced to 19 years, but was allowed to remain on house arrest while he appealed his conviction. This turned out poorly for Egizio, however, as he was then murdered in 1994. The Egizio clan had split off factional rivals that established themselves as the Nuzzo-Piscopo and Rea-Romano-Foria clans, who killed “‘o Tedesco” and set off a wave of retaliatory violence in Castello di Cisterna. Typical Camorra shit.

Most of the Calabrian mobsters in Ohio were previously Camorristi before being transferred to Cosa Nostra. Plus there was a Calabrian cell of the Camorra in Youngstown.

But here, if I understand correctly, it's just the FBI branch of Ohio who ask details about the Camorra (the Nuova Famiglia & the Nuova Camorra Organizzata).

It's not something unusual, especially since some members of these 2 organisations were in the USA. Carmine Esposito of the NCO was arrested in Chicago in 1987 to give you one

----

Back to the list there was very likely more clans affiliated to these 2 organisations.

Most of individuals of the Zaza, Bardellino & Nuvoletta clans were affiliated with Cosa Nostra.

Some members of the NCO (Maisto & Sciorio clans mostly) were also affiliated with Cosa Nostra before switch their allegiance to the NCO
