He himself didn't say the D'Anna's had ties to Italy, the article did. Scott's also said the same thing in the not too distant past.


As of 2013, they still had relatives who are big in the LCN world back in Sicily. They're dad or uncle is a big don in Terresini. Calogero or Girolamo D'Anna or something. Salvatore D'Anna, apparently is or was the boss of a Terrasini crime family as well, and he's their cousin.

As far as a low level enforcers go, sources says they head the Zip faction of that tiny little, defunct crime family.

And someone asked a few pages back where these guys would recruit from. I don't know this for a fact, but again sources, and some pretty reliable people from the city itself and also who refer to themselves as "LCN insiders" or "researchers", claim there are 200-250 thousand Italians in the Metro Detroit area, many of them are Sicilian.
