I once saw Fat Frank Barbaro’s mugshot, and have never been able to find it again. He was the son of Il Principale, of the Canberra Barbaro. He linked up with Arthur Loveday and was likely the first conduit between the Calabrians and the bikers in Australia.

So yeah. Mine would be Fat Frank Barbaro.
Always wanted to see how truely fat he is, read somewhere he was deadset close to 200kg?

Apparently he was a big guy, yeah. Also known for being super rigid about ceremony and respect. He would apparently start fights over any slights to his “honour”. When Pas Barbaro was murdered, it seems like he was in some kind of dispute with Frank, his uncle. It’s murky, and there’s more than one reason why Pas Barbaro was murdered, but I’ve been told they were both trying to collect money owed to the Griffith families at the time of Pas’ murder.

Thanks for sharing! I think I saw this one way back, but I'm curious to know if any other photos exist of him.
