Frank Salemme

[JeremyTheJew]

Who’s trial was it that they did play by play here on the forum???

I think it was Salemme trial where it was big deal when Flemmi testified? I guess he even stopped I. Front of him lowering his glasses to get look at Frank and I guess he shrugged afterwards even or something

One of the Boston posters was reporting a day by day to the forum it was very good

[Pmac2]

Was his. Flemmi didn't recognize salemme. I guess it really fucked salemme up when he found out flemmi was a rat. They were boy hood friends and did all types of shit together. Flemmi was really close to him in the 90tys to. They ate breakfast everyday or someshit

What info did Cadillac Frank give up to the Feds?

I think that he testified against John Connolly the fbi agent and offered up information about flemmi, Bulger and Rico probably in revenge.

No major LCN figures in the Boston/Providence factions? Italians I mean

I think that he falsely blamed Nicky bianco for Disarro's death. I think that Bianco had been the boss after Patriarca jr was forced out.

There was reporters live tweeting that trial . Maybe Shelly Murphy. Was a good read on Twitter bobby DeLuca took the stand and his brother Joe who know won knew was even a made guy. Salemme inducted him in 93. Salemme did fast induction because what happened in 89 and the recording. Will never know all the guys he made. Would be a interesting chart

[Pmac2]

Yaeh salemme I think tried to pin that hit and others on bianco because he was already dead

[davidf1989]

Thanks pmac and I wonder why salemme tried to pin that hit on Bianco.

I just never understood where Salemme fit in the lexicon of informants...obviously any form of cooperation is outlawed in that life but he wasn't near as devastating as say Al D'Arco or Sammy Gravano...

According to this article both Salemme and Flemmi were involved in the 60s gang war as they were believed to have killed the Bennett brothers.

According to his congressional testimony https://archive.org/details/inrestateme ... p?q=bulger Bulger wasn't in the picture when Salemme was close with Flemmi.

I was reading an article about a meeting Salemme had with Gambino capo Natale Richichi in '91, a meeting the FBI happened to be listening to in the hotel room beside...my question is, is it at all odd the Gambinos were recognizing Frank as boss when he's only half Italian? Might be a dumb question but it struck me as odd...

[Pmac2]

Not if they don't know

[Browniety86]

Not if they don't know

I thought the New York commission had to approve boss appointments in outside families?

[Pmac2]

I'm pretty sure jimmy Ida said to little al darco him and chin just picked out the administration in Boston this was in 1991. I forgot where I read it but it was either a 302 on here or somewhere. Jimmy Ida was street boss or consig then

Didn't the FBI have an electronic bug in that meeting?

Check out Double Deal podcast, they do a lot of episodes on Frank Salemme and he is mentioned several times in other episodes as they describe and analysis Nee England crime in the 60s,70s and 80s in that area. One of the women is the daughter of Richard Chicovfsky, a mob associate bank robber from the 70s era..

Brother. Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for more OC podcasts and this looks great.
