Good candidate. He survived twice death in the past 2 months, it speaks volume

Okay so recent info would indicate that the Sydney Commisso actually come from Gioiose Ionica, NOT from Siderno. My source was very emphatically stating that. Whether he has his own agenda or not, I can’t say, but at this point I can confirm that Cosimo is brothers with Johnny Commisso, and that Co...

Some additional information: - Thomas Borghese is also a cousin of Piazza. According to the the 2 FBN that followed them, Borghese was a honorary sheriff (lol) - Still according to the two FBN agents who followed Piazza & Vincileoni in New York, Piazza met with members of the Lo Cascio family (p...

I was doing some research for an upcoming article I'm working on, and I discovered a family connection between George Adragna and Pietro Piazza, a important individual involved in drug trafficking in Marseille. I'll keep Pietro Piazza's background brief, except that I suspect he's an important membe...

I was wondring the same as usually the Commissos from the Siderno Group are mostly active in the area of Perth. But there was a Giovanni "John" Commisso involved in Canberra back to the Operation Seville during the 1980s, so who knows. If my memory is correct he was a in-law of Mario Canni...

All good amigo

Regarding Profaci and the Greco/Galatolo war I think it's a bit different situation: Antonino Cottone was formerly a member of his Crime Family, it's probably why he put his nose into it

B, Pietro was the nephew of Nino & Giuseppe. But there was another Pietro who was indeed their brother, he died in 2007 in Staten Island.

Cabrini, I wasn't play with you at all

I was about to write it, but Johnny was faster than me. Cabrini, perhaps you're confusing him with Pietro Inzerillo, was killed a year after Nino (January 1982), and unlike Nino he was a member of Cosa Nostra in Sicily and his murder was ordered from there. His cousin Tommaso is widely suspected of ...

It's definitely not like before, but definitely not on the decline like the US either (IMO)

I actually have a good one. I think the real wealth in the Sicilian Mafia might be concentrated in a few powerful surnames. I don't think they HOLD a lot of ACTUAL liquidity. I think they control and or co-op businessmen who operate within territory they reside in. But I don't know if they possess ...

New article, dedicated to organized crime in the city of Grenoble. The article is mainly focused on the Corsican mob boss Mathieu Mattei, the Italo-Grenoblois gang and the establishment of Cosa Nostra in the French capital of the Alps https://unehistoiredecrimeorganise.blogspot.com/2022/12/crime-or...

You are so clueless and absolute that you don't even grasp that the Camorra was not in Basilicata, and Torrio was from Basilicata. I don't want to argue more than what has been said, but actually the Camorra had in addition to Campania branches in Calabria (the current 'ndrangheta is in fact a cont...

Yes, he had diabetes and lost both his legs because of it.

I just discovered now that François Scapula died last summer. The Scapula affair was mysterious until the end. So much so that despite its importance in the history of organized crime (and crime in general) I discovered it completely by chance because basically no one talked about it... https://www....

Thought I'd add this here. Leonardo Messina also identified Sicilian decine in the following locations: - Mannheim, Germany. This decina belonged to the Palma di Montechiaro Family in Agrigento but there was also a stidda "decina" (?) in Germany with roots in Palma di Montechiaro. He spec...
