Here are two more perfect examples of mobsters who didn’t have the profile of mobsters…

Saverio (Sam) Monachino and Pasquale (Patsy) Monachino. Born in Sicily, in 1893 and 1908, respectively, the Monachino brothers quietly lived and operated in Upstate Auburn, New York for decades. Yet, until they were captured attending the infamous 1957 “Apalachin Meeting” and detained for questioning along with 60 of their brethren, law enforcement authorities had absolutely no previous knowledge of the Mafia credentials. Ostensibly, the Monachinos were just local businessmen who owned and operated Super Beverage Company in the town of Auburn. Neither man had any sort of criminal record whatsoever with the local police department. But after a thorough federal investigation conducted by the FBI, FBN, and several grand juries, it was determined that both Patsy and Sam were, in fact, card-carrying soldiers in the Joseph Barbara Family of Binghamton.
