Does anyone have a valid bio for Gambino crime family member Vincent Squillante??? Not a bio but some info: - Born June 17, 1917 in New York City. To my knowledge, Squillante was not blood related at all to Albert Anastasia, but claimed he was his god child. Had a brother (Nunzio) also a made guy with the Gambinos. - Made into Frank Scalise´s Bronx/East Harlem crew but was given his own crew sometime in the mid 1950s. - Criminal record dating from 1953 included arrests for income tax violation, state narcotic laws, violation of probation and extortion. According to FBN, Squillante had been deeply involved with the heroin trade for some time. - Big in the garbage collection industry. Known to have been a labor relations advisor to the Greater New York Cartmen´s Association. He took the 5th Amendment to more than 100 questions when he appeared before the Senate rackets Committee in 1957. - Later in 1957, Squillante and Bernard Adelstein, a carting union boss, were charged with extortion. Squillante was found guilty and in 1959 sentenced to from seven and a half to 15 years in prison. However, he was freed on 50.000,00 dollar bail on a certificate of reasonable doubt by the Supreme Court. - According to informant, Squillante had been responsible for killing Joe Scalise in 1957, had butchered his body, placed his remains in a garbage truck and dumped them in a garbage yard. According to the same informant, the murder had occured in Squillante´s basement. He may also have been involved with setting up Frank Scalise to be killed. But the actual shooter in that hit most likely was Arthur "ch*nk" Leo, a Squillante crew member. - In September 1960 Squillante vanished. Six years later an informant advised the FBI that he had been murdered and his remains cut up and burned and then disposed of in the garbage dump owned by a Frank Troiano. It was the informants belief that Frank Troiano, Joseph Fiorello, Nick Rattenni and Leo Troiano either killed Squillante or caused his remains to be disposed of after he was killed. According to Jerry Capeci and Gene Mustain in the book "Murder Machine", Nino Gaggi was somehow involved with this killing.

Wat happened with his brother?was he killed to No he survived, I think he was under Jimmy Brown Failia afterwards Yes that is correct. Nunzio set up his son Angelo in Connecticut running a garbage collecting business. According to Angelo himself, he was moved to Connecticut to get away from the dangers in the aftermath of the Jimmy S. killing. To my knowledge, Angelo was never involved with the Mafia. So do you guys think Albert had Vincent kill Frank or was the contract given to him by Carlo? Albert was the boss at the time, not Carlo.

thanks HK you are really a great accet and attribute to this forum. The Gambinos had four crew leaders based in the Bronx/East Harlem in the 1950s/1960s: Dave Amodeo, Rocco Mazzie (spent most of his time in prison), Arthur Leo (succeeded by Napolitano) and Joe Zingaro. What happen to all those crews,did Gambino being boos shift the power to Brooklyn? No, the four Bronx crews held on the their infuence way into the 1980s and beyond.
