Anyone know the complete story about Carmen Zagaria?

Post by furiofromnaples »

I read the story of Carmen Zagaria that from small drug dealer in 1978 become a drug kingpin selling in 1982 15 milion a year of drug (little more 45 milions in today dollars) and was one of few that refused the offer to be made but what happened him after went in Witsec? He's still alive? And is true that Lonardo flipped only because was accused of drug traffick?

Yeah his still alive believe he lived in cali , he used murder and the mobs money and connections to build it up

Lonardo flipped because he didn’t want to die In jail , If you believe lonardo didn’t know those guys were selling drugs with his financial backing . I got some land for sale in Tennessee

Interesting excerpt from that Gangsters, Inc. article:
After Giaimo was missing for a week, representatives of the Miami, New York and Chicago Mafia came to Cleveland to talk to local mob leaders. Because Giaimo was one of the mob’s largest narcotics conduits in the Southern U.S., his disappearance was a serious concern. The out-of-towners also talked to Zagaria, who was able to convince them that Giaimo had not been seen in Cleveland.
Does anyone know what the source is for this alleged meeting? Was it from Zagaria’s testimony? I’d be very interested to know who Chicago sent. The FBI had intel at this time that the Ferriola crew was financing narcotics operations, as well as crews of Sicilian and Barese zips who were moving drugs from FL to Chicago on behalf of the Outfit.

I can't believe they got away with Giaimos murder. I mean you would think high ranking family members from multiple families across the country could of figured it out

Zagaria was a huge moneymaker I think that Gallo and Sinito had covered him.
