I know people will disagree with me but I think Neil would have made a better boss than Gotti in the long run.
. I don’t think many will disagree. We know Gotti wasn’t a good boss. However I’ve always said I don’t think Neil would’ve been a good boss either. I understand why Carlo made that decision. As respected as Neil was he was constantly under investigation or in and out of court too
It seems the mainland Italians were a big part of early OC in America, Luciano (although Sicilian) was one of the guys who realized you must do business with outsiders in the USA.
Yes, thats very true. The Napolitani/Calabrese-based Camorra had a huge organization. Which, in many ways, rivaled the Sicilians. They were definitely a major force to contend with. Thats why after many years of conflict between them, all the different Italian factions (regardless of the particular region they hailed from) finally merged under one umbrella....hence, Cosa Nostra was born!

Several other very notorious early Camorra members (and bosses) affiliated with Downtown Brooklyn’s “Navy Street Gang” included Alessandro Vollero, Leopoldo Lauritano, Pellegrino Morano, and Antonio (Tony the Shoemaker) Paretti. All of whom were also tied to Yale and Torrio and other Camorrista such as Vito Genovese, Antonio Carfano, etc.
Such was the power of New York’s early Camorra organization!
Except his murder in the flowershop I don't know much about him.
The Gennas sought to murder O'Banion, but Mike Merlo, the president of the Unione Siciliana, had business with O'Banion and prevented the Gennas from resorting to violence against them.
How would you guys rate him among his peers?
BTW 10 november 1924
So it's this year the 100th anniversary of his murder.
Thats true, but I remember Coca plants were cultivated in the Dutch East Indies (current Indonesia), so maybe in the south of Mexico they can do it.
In the last century, the Amsterdam-based Dutch Cocaine Factory (NCF) produced cocaine for medicinal purposes on a large scale and completely legally from coca plants grown in the Dutch East Indies. The factory also produced morphine, heroin and novocaine, among other things.
This next challenge involves four hoodlums. Two were from New York, and two were from Illinois. Each guy’s underworld nickname was “Roberts.“
Your job is to identify each man by listing his REAL “first and last name” and matching the (letter) of his nickname with the area he was from. Have at it fellas….

According to the DEA’s national drug assessment, Colombia is the source of at least 97% of all cocaine consumed in the United States. Despite this fact, The DEA also claims that the production pattern is on the verge of changing.
In the report, the DEA claims that Mexican cartels are experimenting with crops of coca leaf in Mexico. The agency claims that if the cartels were to be successful they could take over the “Colombian” business.
In the chapter regarding drug trafficking trends in the report, the DEA suggests that Mexican cartels, especially the Jalisco Cartel, are looking to cultivate coca and produce their own cocaine from start to finish.

Netherlands: Coalition parties introduce stricter migration and integration measures Flag of Netherlands After months of negotiation, 4 political parties in the Netherlands have reached a coalition agreement. They presented 10 key points which include strict asylum reforms and integration requirements, and instigated a temporary 'Asylum Crisis Law' allowing for far-reaching actions on migration.
The key points from the coalition agreement are as follows:
The indefinite asylum permit will be abolished, and requirements for the temporary residence permit will be tightened. Asylum seekers whose claims have been rejected are to be deported as often as possible, including through forced measures. Those with refugee status will no longer receive priority in allocation of social rental housing. Automatic family reunification will no longer be possible. The 'asylum seeker dispersal law' will be repealed. The law aimed to distribute asylum seekers and refugees more evenly across the country, preventing certain municipalities or regions from disproportionately accommodating asylum seekers. Additional obligations on integration include:
extension of the standard naturalisation period to 10 years, regardless of the type of residence permit; foreigners seeking Dutch nationality must, if possible, renounce their original nationality; the language requirement for naturalisation is raised to level B1; 'integration' includes knowledge about the Holocaust and its victims.

How ties to Italy’s Mafia brought Robert Fico’s second term to an abrupt end in Slovakia NICK SQUIRES 15 May 2024 at 8:14 pm
The placard seemed to express the fury of a nation.
As tens of thousands of people took to the streets calling for Robert Fico to resign as prime minister of Slovakia in 2018, one protester had scrawled the words “mafia prostitute” across a strip of cardboard.
Mr Fico was depicted in the striped black-and-white uniform of a prisoner – an indication the crowds wanted him jailed over the murder of Jan Kuciak, an investigative journalist who had been exploring links between government advisers and organised crime.
Kuciak was shot dead along with his fiancée at their home outside Bratislava, provoking a wave of horror in a nation that had become almost inured to stories of corruption.
The 27-year-old journalist had been investigating alleged links between government figures and the ‘Ndrangheta, the powerful Italian mafia based in the southern region of Calabria.
Looking forward to the next chart you put together for the present day Outfit.
I'm well thanks - probably will put together another graphic next year, maybe more info will emerge from the investigations tied to Elmwood Park or something similar, we will have to wait and see
