What was the other cop that giancana recruited? I believe he became a sheriff even. Wrote the book with sam jnr. Anyone read that?!
I use to think of sam as Chicago's Gotti but aftet reading this thread he seemed a lot more power full then previously thought.
Werent the cops even called off his house surveillance?

Giancana had many "friends" and possible made members in the police force such as Salvatore Moretti, who worked as Melrose Park policeman during the early 50's. You see, Moretti was one of six children who had grown up on Chicago’s West Side, including his identical twin brother Vincent who by 1951 also worked as Melrose Park policeman, the oldest one Lawrence was a deputy bailiff, and Michael who worked as a state’s attorney policeman. Sal was fired from the police force in 1953, while at the same time Thomas was fined $150 after a jury found him guilty of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, meaning he violently fought with the policemen before they arrested him on the complaint of a woman that he harassed, and in the end Michael Moretti, who with no particular reason shot three people, while leaving two dead. Even though the third wounded individual testified on trial that Mike Moretti was drunk as hell and started shooting at them on purpose, it turned out that the other policemen, who were at the scene when Moretti arrested his victims, have never been identified, thus never testified against their companion but still in the end he was sentenced to life in prison.
In addition, Sal Moretti was ordered to answer directly to Daddono, who in turn was his so-called crew boss and in 1957, he received a contract on one banker and land developer known as Leon Marcus and executed it perfectly. It seems that this hit was about to make Sal a made member but the problem was that he forgot to check the victim's pockets for any implicating records, such as the name of the boss himself, Sam Giancana. And that’s what happened. When the cops found some small papers with Giancana’s name on it, Moretti’s fate was sealed. On April 12, 1957, Salvatore Moretti’s strangled and bullet riddled body was found in a car trunk on a country road south of Plainfield, Will County. The coroner report said that Moretti had cuts and bruises all over his face which indicated that he was pistol whipped before being strangled and then shot twice in the chest and twice in the head. The interesting thing was that one bullet went through the lower lip and then angled up in the cranium, while the other bullet went through the right cheek, up between the eyes, and out the left front of the skull. The news fell hard over his twin brother Vincent, who in turn never forgot the death of his brother, nor the hatred towards Daddano, Giancana, Battaglia and Accardo. Well as a matter of fact, two decades later Vincent was one of the main individuals who pulled the job on Accardo's home and ended up dead with is throat slashed and body mutilated similar as his twin brother which again shows us that history often repeat itself in a similar fashion.
