Operation Iron Tower

[furiofromnaples]

Anyone have the list of mobsters arrested in Iron Tower?

[cavita]

I've always wanted a comprehensive list myself. Off the top of my head I know of:

Tommaso Scalici
Giuseppe Gambino
Joseph Ocello
Filippo Filiberto
Francesco Badalamenti

[motorfab]

Some others :

Emanuele Salvatore Mannnino
Ignazio Mannino
Matteo Inzerillo
Salvatore Inzerillo. This Salvatore Inzerillo was a cousin of the Sicilian boss if I'm not mistaken (I know 3 Salvatore Inzerillo, including 2 in America).
A priest named Lorenzo Zorza was also indicted but arrested a bit later.

I have some other names somewhere but I don't have them right now, I'll try to find it later

Is there a way to edit your posts and list what city each were arrested in? As I recall some were from San Francisco, Buffalo, Miami, etc.

this whole iron tower thing is so fucking complicated and confounding

I was hoping there would be as well but unfortunately not. I believe Iron Tower grew out of the original Busico case which was started in 1982/1983

Also in Italy,the Operation is cited in various books but not a single book on it,maybe because all the attention was on the Palermo Maxi Trial.

I'm going to write something someday, I got hundreds of doc on it
