Sam Mannarino and the FBI

Post by JCB1977 »

This article was written based off of casual conversations that Sam Mannarino had with the FBI after he was shelved in his later years. There are definitely a few interesting tidbits in this article.

Good stuff. Never realized he was shelved. Article says due to health/law enforcement scrutiny. Is this the case?

Giancana and the Mannarino brothers were close. John LaRocca and Tony Accardo we’re friends through Angelo Bruno.

Yes. He was bringing too much heat. LaRocca and Kelly Mannarino allowed him to earn while he was shelved through John Fontana.

I'm posting another article shortly about a second member source with deep ties to the Pittsburgh-area. He went further than Mannarino. His identity might surprise a few people.

He agreed to inform once , as They say, You can build a thousand bridges, but if you suck one cock, they don't call you a bridge builder but a cocksucker.

LaRocca was also close to Anthony Pinelli, former member of the Outfit's North Side faction who later became capo of the Northwest Indiana crew

All kidding aside, I came across an FBI document from 1963 where Ferruccio was designated a "PCI". Mind you, he didn't say much at that time.

The second member source I'm referring to was a "boss".
