Corruption’s Winning Team: Fagiano, Daddono & Saviano?
http://americannewspost.com/frank-coconate/6186/corruptions-winning-team-fagiano-daddono-saviano/An alleged cover-up of a another botched murder attempt by a longtime violent Outfit associate named John Rainone happens to be a current affair within the Elmwood Park, Illinois, Police Station. According to an eyewitness, last month John Rainone used his automobile as a weapon as he allegedly attempted to murder a 41-year-old Elmhurst man by trying to run him down near a restaurant on North Avenue. Sources explained that both men were once acquainted many years ago; however it was a surprise meeting in public that provided a recent opportunity for the blood-thirsty Rainone to allegedly attack his former associate.
John Rainone has a significant criminal history that is consistent with this recent Elmwood Park incident. Perhaps his most infamous transgression occurred nine years ago, when Rainone stabbed three people in a Deerfield, Illinois, restaurant. He was sentenced to four-years in prison after pleading guilty to the heinous, and entirely unprovoked, attack. Aside from his checkered past, Rainone is currently involved in two separate cases in which he stands charged with felonies.
Given John Rainone’s family pedigree, this sort of mindlessly violent, erratic behavior seems par for the course. His biological father is an Outfit thug named Mario Rainone. Mario was recently convicted on a federal gun charge and presently awaits sentencing, the possibility of life in prison dangling over his head.
John’s stepfather is William Daddono III, the Vice-President of Century Tradeshow Services. This company was recently under fire by the Chicago media for having ties to the Chicago Outfit and benefiting from a multi-million dollar contract awarded by the city of Chicago. It is reputed that William III, who was supposedly with his stepson during the Deerfield stabbing incident, boasted to a number of people over the years that the only reason he was not arrested with Rainone is because he immediately filed an allegedly bogus police report against some of Rainone’s victims, accusing them of perpetrating violence against him. Sources also reported that Daddono went further by allegedly bribing the now disgraced (and unlicensed) Dr. Joseph Giacchino to manufacture a medical letter indicating that a few minor ailments on Daddono’s person appeared to be defense wounds.
William III’s father, William Jr., who maintains a long association with Village of Rosemont’s hierarchy, was partially responsible for the collapse of the old Emerald Casino project because of ties to the Chicago Outfit. William Jr. is the son of the late Outfit higher-up Willie “Potatoes” Daddono, and has been married over 50-years to a sister of the currently imprisoned Outfit member Rudy Fratto, who was convicted of a bid rigging scheme that involved McCormick Convention Center.
You might think that John Rainone’s checkered past and heavy involvement with mobbed-up businessmen would assure that local police afford him no special protection. After all, how could people sworn to uphold the law give succor to a man involved with the Chicago Outfit? Were this most other towns, I would be happy to agree with this sentiment, but unfortunately Elmwood Park has a rich history of being influenced by organized crime.
The son of a late and close pal of Outfit boss John DiFronzo is a businessman by the name of Ray Morelli. Ray has done business with Rainone’s stepfather concerning the McCormick Convention Center in Chicago. He is also supposedly a very close friend of Elmwood Park Police Chief Frank Fagiano.
Earlier this month rumors began to swirl among an intimate group of people in and near the Elmwood Park area that the fix is in on the case involving Rainone’s alleged botched murder attempt. It is rumored that Rainone has a great deal of the Daddono family’s cash posted as bond on two serious felony criminal matters that are both presently pending. One matter is an intricate credit-card fraud case in federal court that involved the theft of millions of dollars. The other case is a Class X Felony drug case that is pending in DuPage County. Therefore, if Rainone were to face charges on attempted murder in Elmwood Park, he would immediately lose his freedom and bond money (which is to say he loses the Daddono family’s money). Obviously this is a state of affairs which someone like William III would like to avoid.
After Rainone’s attack was over, the Elmhurst man got away without too much injury. It would appear that Rainone quickly realized the legal jeopardy that he put himself in when he was finally able to grasp what he did in public. Fortunately for Rainone, the Elmhurst man elected to refrain from reporting the incident to the police for fear of further retribution, which inadvertently paved the way for Rainone to call on the EPPD to cover his butt. It was then that Rainone began to allegedly twist the story in a manner similar to the way his stepfather did in Deerfield nine years ago.
Very quickly the tables were turned on the Elmhurst man. He was once again being threatened by Rainone, but this time his assailant had the Elmwood Park Police backing him up.
After it became known to some that the fix was in, an elderly relative of the Elmhurst man contacted former Illinois State Representative Skip Saviano (who is currently running for president of Elmwood Park) for help. Initially it was thought that Skip could move to thwart the sinister Outfit influence and see to it that justice prevailed. The relative was invited to meet with Skip at his office on March 1, 2013, at 11:00 AM. Shortly after the meeting commenced, Skip phoned Chief Fagiano to see if he could arrange for justice to save the Elmhurst man. After Skip ended his phone call with Fagiano he felt hopeful that he accomplished their goal.
Ultimately this would not be the case. By early the following week Skip changed his position and intimated to the Elmhurst man’s relative that justice would not be served in this case. On March 5, 2013, a warrant was sworn out for the Elmhurst man for aggravated assault. In addition, the EPPD is currently in the process of adding a felony criminal charge of damage to property against the Elmhurst man who is despised by Rainone.
With this story in mind, I hope all of the good people and registered voters in Elmwood Park think long and hard about doing the right thing for their village on Election Day before handing someone like Skip Saviano a prestigious position of power. Skip Saviano appears to have chosen political expediency over solid, moral judgment. Backdoor dealing at the expense of compromising justice needs to end once and for all in Elmwood Park.
