Asaro Clan Info + Early Castellammarese Mafia

[HairyKnuckles]

As usual, excellent work B., thanks for the read

I fully agree!

Very interesting thread.

[felice]

some weeks ago there has been a nice police operation against the castellammare del golfo family and I got some papers about it:

Francesco Domingo is the current family boss.
Francesco Domingo's aunt was married to mariano maranzano, probably brother of Salvatore. he 's considered to be figlioccio of Antonino Montagna (father of Sal), figlioccio means he was sponsored by Montagna so we can assume Sal Montagna's father is a Castellammare del Golfo family member

In the summer of 2016 Antonino Mistretta a Bonanno family member visited Domingo. Mistretta is a close associate of Baldo Amato. Mistretta's boss is now named Joe.
Michele Domingo brother of Francesco lives in NY and he is part of the group.
Another subject who visited Domingo is Giovanni Carollo identified by the FBI as a Bonanno family member, another one is Giuseppe Vultaggio from Alcamo who is a mafioso active in the USA

So Antonino Mistretta and Giovanni Carollo have been identified by the FBI as made Bonanno members? Thanks.

A Santo Vultaggio was involved in bootlegging operations for Salvatore Maranzano in Poughkeepsie in 1931. A Frank Vultaggio was arrested with Patsy "Turregno" (arrested in Apalachin in 1957) in Binghampton in 1931, and a Bartolo Vultaggio also in Binghampton that same year, all for bootlegging.

in 1908 a Giovanni Carollo was allegedly burned to death in an oven by bakers and brothers Giuseppe and Vito Bonventre, and their aides Gaspare Galante and "Stadler" Lisante. In reality they allegedly strangled Carollo for getting behind on a loan and dumped his body in a sack in a vacant lot. Vito Bonventre would be the same man who gave Joe Bonanno a job as a truck driver for his bakery in 1924.

yes, it's a generic "member" anyway, it doesn't implicit they are formally made but I highly think so, especially for Mistretta

[scagghiuni]

the father of sal montagna was a member of cosa nostra in sicily?

[Pogo The Clown]

Thanks. I'm guessing Mistretta is related to deceased Bonsnno member Frank "Cheesecake" Mistretta?

With all these connection seen here really makes you wonder what is going on with the whole sicilian zip faction capos being shelved

[JeremyTheJew]

Maybe Jerry Asaro who's getting released could step up the void

Who is Joe? His boss, a Bonnano capo? An American?Or is this a Sicilian mafioso?

If you feel like posting a breakdown, or anything additional, you have a captive audience. Very interested in what LE has to say from the other side...

Also felice, have you heard anything about ties between the Americans, and mafiosi from Partanico or Camporeale? Super madamento?

Any thought you have are greatly appreciated.

Thank you, my friend! We have another thread going about the articles that have come out regarding Sciacca boss Dimino's ties to the Bonannos, plus these recent Domingo / Asaro cases in Castellammare, but we were missing many details which you have provided.

- Joe Cammarano Jr. was the acting boss of the Bonanno family circa summer 2016, so it is probably referring to him as "Joe". Cammarano's father-in-law is Vito Grimaldi who was a captain at the time and described by Capeci as influential with the Bonanno "zip faction".

- Antonino Mistretta and Sal Montagna were both associates of Baldo Amato dating back to the early 1990s. The old Bonanno member Frank Mistretta had Castellammarese heritage and if I have the right records, his grandfather in Castellammare was named Antonino, would could suggest common ancestry with the current Antonino Mistretta.

- I am not surprised to see that Antonino Montagna is a Sicilian mafia member. The Montagnas are very close to the Domingos in the US and when I saw that Franco Montagna (Sal's brother) traveled to Sicily with Stefano Turricano of the Castellammarese family, I began to suspect the Montagnas go deeper in the mafia than we were previously aware. This changes much of the previous discussion about Montagna.

- As mentioned in this thread's original post, the old time Bonanno member Santo Vultaggio's mother was an Asaro, so we see these names again.


--

Side note, but I made some edits to the original post in this thread. Nothing major, just some past notes from Jimmy Buccellato and JD that clarified certain details. The councilman Borruso who testified on Girolamo's behalf in his extradition trial for example was related to the Bartolomeo Asaro referenced in Chris Christie's post, which is telling.

[B.]

I've confirmed that Bonanno member Andrew Asaro was also a cousin of the well-known Asaros. I've edited the original post, but to sum it up, his father Giuseppe was the nephew of the elder Girolamo Asaro. Giuseppe's father in Castellammare was Giacomo Asaro, so that's a name to look for in early Castellammare records. Like the marriage of Girolamo Asaro's daughter, this branch of the Asaros has a blood relation to Giordanos via Giuseppe's aunt in Castellammare, showing those names are intertwined on two fronts.
