THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I wonder if or how he’s related to Fortunato Gattellari, who was sentenced for his role in the Michael McGurk murder some years back. Fortunato aka Lucky was the brother of Olympian boxer Rocky Gattellari.

He owns a few businesses in Melbourne. I think this is him

EDIT: let me censor some of the image first. There’s other people in it

Yeah, St Monica’s at the Moonee Ponds section of Mt Alexander Road. 888 Negroni is in Essendon. I’ll see if I can find the company extract and see if there’s any other names on there that might be a lead. Blondie and Bebe Manariti muscled in on Pantoleo years ago and it’s made them very rich. La Por...

Yes, a much more modern perspective than mine. Really looking forward to keeping up with the fieldwork. Absolutely love this quote; It is often said that for the 'ndrangheta clans, everything begins where it ends, namely in Calabria. It is very quick to say that the head - like the heart - of the cr...

I’ve been on this mission to identify mafia activity in Australia pre-1922, and have mostly come across random bits and stubs about potential “camorrista” hiding out in Australia and random acts of violence that have a scent of ‘ndrangheta activity. So I found this article dating from August of 1916...

After some email exchange with Dr Sergi, I have a bit of a clearer idea about how Tony Madafferi has insulated himself from investigators as well as journalists. I viewed a business extract from ASIC (the Australian Securities and Investments Commission) that detailed the company’s owned by Madaferr...

Actually, forget this novel. When you come back Anna, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the LaVerde family. They are right in the thick of things, and some company extracts I recently viewed showed me how intertwined the relationship is between the Madafferi, LaVerde, Tropeano and Di Pietro...

Anna, My recent experiences in researching ‘ndrangheta families in Australia has, again, evolved. Not only towards the concept of active networks of ‘ndranghetista in Australia, but also my perception of the individuals who come up in the news. In Australia, we need to move beyond the Platí-centric ...

More older stuff, but for anyone who hasn’t seen it, this was the report on Joe Madafferi’s court appearance for stealing cars and possessing weapons. He and a mate tried to run through a house in Kings Park and subsequently got his skull fractured. He seems fine in the video. https://www.9news.com....

Recently found this document. It’s old, the submission from 2001-2004 by Frank Madafferi to the Human Rights Committee when he was facing deportation. It goes into deep detail about his arrival in Australia and the effect the possible deportation had on his family, including eldest Giovanni who woul...

Great article from the ABC on the Latorre hit. Fellow member of TBHF Dr Sergi addresses some of the rumours around it.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA ‘NDRANGHETA In the late 1960s, early 1970s, the old Adelaide Advertiser started running stories about “La Honorata” or the “Honoured Society”. This was where the notion of the “Seven Cells of Adelaide” came from. The papers named Sergi, Barbaro, Trimboli, Romeo, Nirta, Alvaro and Per...

All g brother. Cheers for the clicks.

Goddamn it I posted the wrong draft. Sorry, fixing typos and editing errors.

Shoot Fabien Id thought I’d had a conversation with you about the Fox. I must’ve been mistaken.

Hey fellas, The Lattore hit dominated mob news in Australia for now, actually got the highest level of traffic to my blog on a single day than ever before. I’ve got some more info regarding Latorre I will share soon, also working with some journos and authors to hopefully obtain more resources. In t...
