In looking through the 1980s FBI files of Rockford LCN underboss Frank Buscemi, the attached excerpts indicate that in September 1983 Buscemi was contacting a “ranking Boston Sicilian Maffia figure.” At the time, Buscemi was being investigated for extortionate business practices and his connection to a narcotics distribution network which included Boston, Buffalo, Canada, Sicily, Australia and other U.S. cities and countries. These calls to the Boston figure were in relation to the narcotics network and surprisingly lists the telephone number. I suspect that this ranking Boston figure was capo Salvatore Giglia who, like Buscemi, was born in Aragona, Sicily.
Is there any way somebody can confirm, perhaps through a Boston city directory or other resource, that this phone number does indeed belong to Giglia? This would be a nice connection for me to make.
