Reason I ask is there was a robbery to a tavern near Belvidere, Illinois on October 18, 1968. The tavern was owned by Rockford LCN associate and front man Robert Pauls. Three men made away with $10,000-$15,000 and Pauls had just entered the business with that money to be able to cash paychecks from the nearby Chrysler plant. The three men later arrested were Harvey Bennett and Anthony Saviano of Chicago and Anthony DelGenio of Melrose Park. DelGenio was represented by Rockford attorney Angelo Gaziano, who happened to be the son-in-law of Rockford LCN boss Joe Zammuto. Bennett’s trial ended in a hung jury and Saviano was acquitted of his charges. DelGenio skipped out on his trial and forfeited his bond, he was later arrested and served jail time for kidnapping two state troopers and forcing them into his car but releasing them after a few miles. It's my feeling that Robert Pauls was in on the robbery somehow.

Yaras was a top street lieutenant from the Lenny Patrick Street Crew. I guess it was like a fucking party for some of these guys when they heard a torture murder was going to be committed, they wanted to in on the "Action", no pun intended. lol

Great find Villain! Any idea if that Ralph DelGenio was related to Anthony DelGenio?

You're welcome buddy. I don't know about Anthony but I do know that Ralph had a son named Frederick or Fred who in turn was possibly the main reason for his father's demise, meaning it was possible that Freddy boy stole the juice cash which Ralph kept for his bosses and shortly after Fred went to jail and they couldn't get to him so they took care of his dad. From that whole situation, in the end Sam Battaglia received the new love of his life or Freddy's ex-girlfriend.

I see that Anthony was in his mid 20's during the early 1970's and it's quite possible that he was some sort of blood relative
