Santo Sorge ?

[motorfab]

So I wonder what was the status of Santo Sorge in LCN. The only information I have is in the Bureau Of Narcotics Book. He obviously lived in France in the 1930s before being expelled and is visibly associated with Luciano in the heroin trade in Italy and I believe he also participated in the series of meetings at the Grand Hotel Des Palmes in Palermo in 1957 , but I cannot determine which Family he depends on. Can someone enlighten me on this?

To MotorFab: Santo Sorge has always been, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and secretive Mafiosi I have ever read about. I would refer you to the book "Deep Politics and the Death of JFK" by Peter Dale Scott. There is this entry on pg. 203, provided by U.S. Customs, presented to a U. S. Senate investigation of the international narcotics traffic (I do not have the date of the Senate investigation):

"SANTO SORGE: Managing director of the Rimrock International Oil Co., 680 Fifth Avenue, New York. Member of the Foreign Economic Research Association. Modus Operandi: one of the most important mafia leaders. Travels extensively between Italy and the United States in furtherance of ostensibly legitimate international ventures which probably cover for liaison duties between highest ranking Mafiosi in the United States and Italy. Has considerable political influence in Italy."

Hope this is helpful.

Also, I cannot remember if he was allegedly at Apalachin in 1957.

No, I don't think he was at Apalachin in 1957. Never seen anything that indicated it
