Great work, motorfab! This guy dying in agonizing pain for three weeks and not revealing the name of the man who tried to assassinate him. Brutal.

The second and last part of the Corsican vendettas is online. This part is dedicated to Antoine Paolini and the Combinatie affair between 1952 and 1972 which has as its context the smuggling of cigarettes between the port of Tangier in Morocco and Marseille

Fantastic work with this one. Great to have everything together with a lot of details I didn't know.

I think of Bomp as the Nicola Gentile of the 1960s-1970s based on how much he was able to explain in-depth and how many national connections he had.

Thanks, and again glad if I managed to bring something new to you with this.

I couldn't agree more about the comparison between Gentile & Bomp. Bomp gave as much valuable information as Gentile. If I had the talent and the patience to do it, I would write a book or a film script about Bompensiero. Not to mention he had a pretty epic life.

Hi Motorfab - Very interesting read, thanks for sharing. Your write-up mentions that Scozzari replaced Tom Dragna as consigliere, whereas I was under the impression that Scozzari served in the role of underboss while Charles Dipppolito was the consigliere. I did a cursory search on Mary Ferrell and couldn't find any details on that. I'm curious where you get that information if you don't mind sharing. Thank you.

Hello nizarsoccer, first of all, thanks for reading and for the feedback. It looks I made a mistake and I must say that I didn't check this info regarding the post of consigliere and I did it just from my memory (looks like I was wrong). I believe I made this mistake thinking of Scozzari who replaced Adamo as underboss after his suicide in 1956

Anyway, I just checked and it looks like I made a mistake and it was Dippolito consigliere, so thank you very much for the correction. I'll change that right away and I credited you for that

Hello nizarsoccer, first of all, thanks for reading and for the feedback. I think that indeed I made a mistake and that I wanted to say Licata instead of Scozzari.

I believe I made this mistake thinking of Scozzari who replaced Adamo as underboss after his suicide in 1956

Thank you for the clarification. If anything, you should credit JoePuzzles234 since he pointed this out to me in a chat. I merely asked based on what he told me. Awesome stuff though, the Limandri's are very interesting to me, so thanks for putting them and their regime in context.
