Interesting excerpt from that Gangsters, Inc. article:
After Giaimo was missing for a week, representatives of the Miami, New York and Chicago Mafia came to Cleveland to talk to local mob leaders. Because Giaimo was one of the mob’s largest narcotics conduits in the Southern U.S., his disappearance was a serious concern. The out-of-towners also talked to Zagaria, who was able to convince them that Giaimo had not been seen in Cleveland.
Does anyone know what the source is for this alleged meeting? Was it from Zagaria’s testimony? I’d be very interested to know who Chicago sent. The FBI had intel at this time that the Ferriola crew was financing narcotics operations, as well as crews of Sicilian and Barese zips who were moving drugs from FL to Chicago on behalf of the Outfit.
