In the Canadian newspaper items that discuss Spataro, he is identified as either Charles Angelo Spataro, Charles A. Spataro, or Charles Spataro. A number of the articles to which I've linked farther below via my Evernote account indicate that he married a niece of Stefano Magaddino.
As an appellant in Supreme Court of Canada cases, Spataro has his name appear in published legal decisions as Charles Angelo Spataro.
In Apr. 1970, Spataro was convicted by an Ontario jury on five counts, having been indicted on six counts of arson and related offences for his part in an arson attempt in Jan. of that year. He fled Ontario in Jun. 1974 while on a weekend pass from the Warkworth penitentiary where he was an inmate. Law enforcement in Buffalo caught him in Feb. 1975. Canada successfully had him extradited, and Spataro returned to a Canadian prison -- so far I have found no articles about his eventual release.
Back on the old Real Deal forum, in a thread titled "Buffalo/Boston early 80s question," a poster reached out to Ron Fino to check with the latter about the heroin-coke ring discussed earlier in the thread, and then the poster copy-pasted Fino's response as follows: "No members of Buffalo were involved in heroin. A few associates Dilly Spataro, and Al Monaco, Joe LoVullo, Ronald Carlyle, Peter Piccolo were involved. Check my spelling...but Todaro would have NEVER gotten involved in drugs, let alone interstate drug trafficking."
The surname Spataro will be commonly found among individuals with ancestry from either Sicily or Calabria. We might recall that when articles were published in 2010 about the failed bid by 'ndranghetista Antonio Coluccio to obtain permanent residency in Canada, a letter sent to him the year before by the Canadian embassy in Rome indicated he was "linked" to 8 men in Canada who were "known to be members of traditional organized crime groups and/or have criminal records relating to organized crime." Giuseppe Cuntrera and Domenico Spataro are 2 of the 8 men. Writing about the matter, Adrian Humphreys indicated that Cuntrera and Spataro are related to leaders of the Caruana-Cuntrera group here in Canada.
