I was going through some files on the MF site and so i stumbled upon this old timer Del Ducca fella who was allegedly with the Profacis, but the info that caught my eye was that Del Ducca allegedly used to finance some of Capones bootlegging ops in Chicago, before Al got big.
So who is this guy and what was the early connection between him and Capone? I know there were members from the Masseria/Genovose fam who probably invested in Capones ops early on, but the Profacis?

Re: Generoso Del Ducca/Profaci?
Toddo Delducca was a Genovese captain who died in 1960. His brother Patsy was also a Genovese member. He was from Brooklyn and from same neighborhood as Capone. So there could be a connection there. I would think that the FBI report in OP is dated in the very early 1960s when the information FBI had on the Mafia was not that accurate. Delducca was not a Profaci member.Villain wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 11:46 pm I was going through some files on the MF site and so i stumbled upon this old timer Del Ducca fella who was allegedly with the Profacis, but the info that caught my eye was that Del Ducca allegedly used to finance some of Capones bootlegging ops in Chicago, before Al got big.

There you have it, never printed before.
Re: Generoso Del Ducca/Profaci?
Well that clears a lot of questions in my head, thanks bud. Btw do you think that Delducca simply sent money to Chicago, or do you have any info if he stayed during some short time period over there? Like Ricci, Vanella, Morro etc.? Also was Delducca a Sicilian or a mainlander?

Re: Generoso Del Ducca/Profaci?
I have no knowledge of him ever staying in Chicago. I think the statement above describes when Capone was still in Brooklyn. Delducca was from Lauro, in the province of Avellino. So he was a mainlander.Villain wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 2:20 amWell that clears a lot of questions in my head, thanks bud.

Re: Generoso Del Ducca/Profaci?
Thanks again. I also thought about the same thing, meaning about Capone being still in NY at the time. Capone became a "big man" in 1926 or even 1928 when he was made, while he previously arrived in 1919 or one year before Prohibition took place in Chicago...just my two centsHairyKnuckles wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 2:55 amI have no knowledge of him ever staying in Chicago.

Re: Generoso Del Ducca/Profaci?
Generoso was Funzi Tieri's captain. Del Ducca goes back to Gang "O" on Union Avenue and Sackett st in brooklyn before the goverment made booze a fed crime on the books. Union avenue was a haunt for young capone.
