Re: Mafia Down Under Discussion
No prob. This particular branch of the Barbaros has been in the news a lot recently. This is Joe Barbaro’s youngest and one of the two last living sons from his first marriage; Pasquale (who went by his middle name of Timothy) was murdered in Sydney, 2016, aged 35, by members of the Rebels MC. Middl...

Re: Mafia Down Under Discussion
Its tangential because he’s a bikie, but Harley Barbaro is a member of the Australian branch of the Barbaro family. He’s the son of Joe Barbaro, a cousin of Pasquale Barbaro, both convicted drug traffickers. Harley’s brother Tim was murdered and his brother Rick was recently in the news for murderin...

Re: Mafia Down Under Discussion
Here’s an older article, but it goes into a bit of detail about what’s going on with Joe Barbaro and a few of his 8 boys. It’s pretty tangled but definitely gives an idea on what the current situation looks like with that particular family. True Crime Australia Mafia tangled web rife in notorious Ba...

Re: Ndrangheta
I know right? It’s weird and stupidly hilarious. All I can think is that in Australia, it’s common for biker affiliates to convert to Islam, as there is already a massive presence of BFL members, and many of the other outlaw motorcycle groups, like the Mongols, Comoncheros, etc, who have a big Middl...

Re: Ndrangheta
Not sure if this is where i should post this here or in another thread, as it’s only tangentially related to the ‘Ndrangheta. But in any case, the Barbaro family is far flung and ubiquitous in the Australian scene. In Australia, a Barbaro has been murdered every decade since the 1990, and are regula...

Re: Mafia Down Under Discussion
I missed this article when it first came out, but it’s interesting to I thought I’d share. It seems in the fallout of the Nicola Gobba aka Lawyer X case, it’s come out that police at some point, Australian investigators suspected Tony Madaferri of being responsible for the 2006 murder of crooked law...

Re: Mafia Down Under Discussion
Totally missed this one. I've been lazy, and trying to get back into research and writing after working on music and fiction for a bit. So a few years back, it came out in some Crimine Reports that Tony Vallelonga, a businessman and former Mayor of the West Australian city of Stirling, had been in d...

Re: Mafia Down Under Discussion
Article about one of so called ''Australian Donnie Brasco's''.

Trivia; in Australia, the ''Brasco'' is slang for toilet, especially in jail. Because it's ''full of shit''.

Re: Louis Esposito and Peter LaGatta
Chris made the point a while back that they were likely present ealier, but the earliest documented evidence starts in 1922. Of course, Australia was still mostly rural at that time, in comparison to North and South America. But it's managed to get so entrenched that Italian investigators apparently...

Louis Esposito and Peter LaGatta
Any help on these names would be appreciated. I have them tentatively listed as Colombo guys circa. 1985...? Apparently they were implicated in the murder of one Louis Muscatello.
It's regarding (you fuckin' guessed it ) a potential link to Australia.
