Binghamton mafia meeting 1956

Post by motorfab »

I was looking at the Bonanno file in the Bureau of Narcotics book and it is mentioned that he attended a meeting in Binghamton in 1956. I never found any information about this meeting. What was the subject of this meeting and who were the participants ?

t was an ordinary scheduled Commission meeting held at Barbara´s estate or at the Arlington Hotel (depending on which source to believe) in October 1956. Lillo Galante was caught speeding nearby when he headed back for New York City.
There you have it, never printed before.

Oh ok. This is the famous meeting that is often mentioned the year before Apalachin, right? Actually now that you mention it I've already read the trick on Galante in one of Bill Bonanno's books I think.

Primarily a Bonanno/Castellammrese affair (meeting). Barbara, Bonanno, Galante, and others tied to them had the 56’ meeting. A presursor to Apalachin
