yearh he was shaking down this guy for 1 mil for the gambinos. the debt went back to the 80s over herion (maybe tied to pizza connection) so the gambinos sent pamieri to italy saying "a message from America…the businessman is going to understand" (court documents)

apparently he is very close to dom celfeau and was a high ranking member of the gambino family and the connection between the gambinos and the siclians.

He was extradited to face extortion charges
