Was just wondering if we can have a topic about any newest info or subjects from the 5 families or any other mafia family in america. It seems there's not much new stuff out there. Is it because the mob got smart again and keep things quiet. Another thought i had is it very possible that there are alot more members to the five families that are doing buisiness in more quiet towns in other states. Also I figured in today's age there are probally alot of smaller italian crews that maybe do there own thing and aren't connected or answer to anyone else. Any thoughts?

being born and raised in nyc i can't fathom the italian mafia having much power at all these days. nyc has totally and completely been gentrified and transformed as a city; in many ways it's a completely different place than it was 20 or even 10 years ago. crime is down across the board and it is now one of the safest cities in the country, possibly the world.

i can see the mafia being involved in wholesaling drugs or exerting some union control (even though so many laws pertaining to unions were so radically changed in the '90s i can't even imagine this being the case any more) but the more "traditional" money making schemes have to completely dead. loansharking, numbers, book making and small time protection/extortion? lol no way. there simply aren't enough blue collar italians left in the city anymore to make any of this viable, both in terms of actually having people around as muscle to commit these crimes and in terms of actually having enough people around willing to take $10k loan to cover a gambling debt. the blue collar, mostly italian base that the mafia depended on for making money for so long simply doesn't exist in this city any more. what little italians that are left are all 3rd or 4th generation with plenty of money as is from legitimate ventures.

i could be wrong but i don't see the mafia in nyc as anything more than an old boys club that has most of its money tied in legitimate ventures, along with some side income coming from smuggling stolen goods or drugs from abroad into and out of the city.

First off welcome to the board dontclick, but to say that gambling and loansharking are completely dead is just ridiculous, its the mobs bread and budda. Your are right about their waning control on the unions, gone are the days of them having any influence on a national level, and also gone forever are them controlling the huge teamster unions, but to think that they dont have any union prescence at all would be a mistake. They still have influence in a lotta smaller unions and a number of different industries and i dont see that changing anytime soon. To know what the mob is up to all you have to do is look at the cases, and i if u do youll realize that theyre still up to pretty much the same things they always been more or less-gambling, loansharking, yes extortion to, labor racketeering, drugs, fraud, stealing etc.

i really have trouble believing that street level loan sharking or book making is any longer a substantial money maker for them at all. the days of going to your local italian barber shop and asking the man in the back for a bridge loan for $5k simply doesn't happen any more. and if it does it's certainly not being done by the italians of nyc.

union control, white collar crime, drug wholesaling, pump and dumps, fraud, financial and health care scams, yes why not. this is probably where the bulk of their money comes from today...but no mobster in this day and age is making a substantial sum from placing horse bets or lending out cash one thousand dollars at a time...or demanding $200/week from the latest starbuck in town for protection (good luck lol). there simply isn't a demand for any of these services any more strictly from a demographic stand point. not only that but there so many legitimate competitors to these services nowadays like pay day loans or internet gambling that doesn't involved getting your knee caps broken when you can't pay up.

Does anyone here think maybe members in the five families work in other smaller communities outside of nyc area and maybe just have legitimate buisiness that just launder money etc. Thoughts, how are these guys surviving today? Even some of the made members today, i'm curious how much money they actually bring in illegal crime. I also wonder if some of these guys have just been around for awhile and can't stay away or they like the status of being in the mob even if it's not like the old days where making money was easy for them. Just curious to me, just speculation, won't ever know, not in the life.

Overcoat, you need to have a reason to launder money. What would be the necessity for a legitimate business without the underlying scam? Know how a lot of them survive these days? Latching onto wannabes who look up to them and will kick up or, the ones who have saved a good amount of money, lending out startup money to people for a cut of the action. Or lending out startup money to the kind of weak individual that can be preyed on once the business begins to thrive. The there's the guy with a business on the balls of his ass who needs cash to save his empire. Those guys can really be fucked with. But even a guy who let's say, takes a couple hundred thousand from an old timer mobbed up guy and then he just says go Fuck yourself. What's that old timer going to do to get his money back? Call his hitman?
Ain't much going on otherwise on the street business level. Other than the obvious gambling and drugs or bribery... But is that really LCN? Any hood with balls can do that.

What "new stuff" are you talking about? There continue to be fairly regular indictments in New York, both big and small. And to a lesser extent elsewhere. There was also a recent article in the Wall Street Journal called "The Mafia is Down but Not Out[/i".

I suppose you're a good example of how simply living in a certain area doesn't automatically afford one extra knowledge of the local mob.

Those who follow ongoing mob cases in New York know that the traditional mob staples of bookmaking and loansharking have not subsided at all. You can go back over the past several years and seen any number of multimillion sports betting and loansharking busts. Their bookmaking operations don't just involve some local Italian bettors but a mainly white clientele in general that can place bets online and pay or collect locally with their bookie.

The mob continues to be involved in other street rackets like drugs, stolen goods, fraud, etc. but none of these bring in the kind of consistent day-to-day money that gambling and loansharking still do.

The assimilation of Italian-Americans into mainstream America has certainly been the biggest factor of mob attrition but the lack of Italian enclaves isn't as big a factor as some may think. The Italians spread out across New York a long time ago and aren't dependent on an East Harlem or Little Italy anymore.

Here is some more in depth information on some members and assocaties of the Family supplied by someone on another forum -

Boss: John Joseph “Joe” Sciortino

Underboss: Peter Simone[/b]- I found this incorporation record from 1975 for an Avenue Social Club in Kansas City where Peter Simone is the registered agent. The address listed is 4419 Sunrise in KCMO. I'm not sure if that is the actual address of the club or not, but is an interesting piece of the puzzle.

Simone operated Be Amused Vending Company, which he used to launder gambling income. The incorporation record is found here:

https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?256849


Deceased Boss: Anthony "Tony Ripes" Civella

Here is Anthony Civella's obit. Lots of familiar names mentioned. Check out the pallbearers at the end.

There is a photo at the bottom of this post showing Tony Ripes and George Chiavola from 1959 with caption provided by whoever added the picture to the guestbook.



Capos:

1. William “Little Willie” Cammisano Jr.- Obviously well known, many have speculated that Willie Jr. may in fact be running the KC family right now. Here is a link to interesting stories involving the Cammisano's that also mentions several other KC family figures:

http://www.pitch.com/2005-01-06/news/badda-bam/full

Willie's son Carlo Cammisano is co-owner of The Copa Room, an Italian restaurant in Kansas City. Willie's ex-wife Kathy Fiorello, Carlo's mother, run's the kitchen there. Here is a link to a story about the restaurant and another link that has a picture of Carlo and gives more family background information.(I don't know if Carlo is officially involved in the family business. I have seen no other mention of his name):

http://www.pitch.com/2004-08-19/dining/his-way/full


http://home.kc.rr.com/coparoom/history

Willie's cousin, Charles "Vito" Cammisano, has an obituary from this year that mentions the "lunch bunch." Charles was shot to death in front of his home in last fall. Family members believe it was his ex-wife Lettie Cammisano-Strait who killed him. She was arrested after a standoff along with her new husband. Charles was employed at a Northland car dealership. A picture of Charles and his ex-wife and the house he was murdered at can be found in the following two links:

http://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/update-charles-v-cammisano-murder/

http://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/charles-v-cammisano-murder-9107-riverside-mo/

"The Lunch Bunch: Jerry Cammisano, Joe "Red" Cervello, Joe Moretina, Sam Marsalla, Frank Marsalla, Mike Fasone, Sam Scola, Jack Ancona, Joe Vigliaturo, Vince Civella, Mike Garozzo, Mike Lombardo, Steve Morgan, and Anthony Scavuzzo."

Included in that list is at least one KC family member, and several VERY prominent local businessmen. I'm not sure if it means anything, but I want to keep the names handy for future reference. The full obituary can be found here:

http://www.legacy.com/KansasCity/DeathNotices.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=93884108


More information that suggests the possibility of mob involvement from this story:

http://www.kctv5.com/news/14071259/detail.html

"This year, a neighbor said Strait told her, "the Italian mafia would take care of things."

Strait said, "I was married to the mob for 23 years. I went to prison for them. I kept my mouth shut. I wouldn't cooperate with federal officers."

KCTV5 reported Thursday night about the conviction about which she talked.

Friday, KCTV5 News found out that she and her co-conspirators were prosecuted by the Organized Crime Strike Force.

That drug trafficking case involved her, Cammisano and a Kansas City, Mo., fire captain."


Also, Charles Cammisano's niece Alaena Cammisano is the registered agent for Birdies Duffers Sports Bar in KC. I'm not sure if that means anything yet.

2. Vincent “Vince” Civella- Vince is involved as the registered agent for local home development company Coventry Court LLC. Note on the incorporation record linked below that Tony Ripe's son, Anthony Civella Jr. and the Antoinette Cammisano Trust (Antoinette was Willie "The Rat" Cammisano Sr.'s wife and Willie Cammisano Jr.'s mother.

https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?619361

Also, here is the link to the website for the home development of Coventry Court:

http://www.cbkc.com/communities/coventrycourt/


3. James Duardi[/b]- Contrary to some posts, Duardi is still alive. He actually was in the middle of a minor controversy in 2005 involving Jackson County Executive Kathryn Shields, who recently ran for Mayor unsuccessfully then got indicted. The link to that story is here:

http://www.pitch.com/2005-04-07/news/katheryn-the-grate/full

4. Angelo Porrello (IP)



Soldiers:

1. Salvatore Agrusa- Sal owns Paramount Pest Control in KC. His incorporation record can be viewed here:

https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?620101

2. Joseph Barletta

3. Nathan “Nat” Brancato- Brancato is the owner of Brancato's Catering, a very well known KC business.

I found this great story about a music festival put on in Sedalia by Sal and Nathaniel Brancato to deal drugs and launder KC Mafia money in 1974. It's long but pretty interesting. Sal and Nathaniel are related to Nat, just haven't firmed up how yet.

http://rodsievers.googlepages.com/ozarkmusicfestival

The Brancato family operated Fairyland Park, an amusement park open in Kansas City from 1923-1977 at 75th/Prospect.

4. John Calia (IP)- Here is a link to somrthing posted by Calia online from prison:

http://www.november.org/thewall/cases/calia-j/calia-j.html

5. Carlo Cavallaro

6. George Chiavola

7. John Costanza

8. John Cuezze- Cuezze's wife JoAnne is the official owner of Vivace, an Italian restaurant in the River Market. John Cuezze is listed as "staff" in an article in the Pitch. I hung out quite a bit for a while at the restaurant with co-owner Joe "JoJo" Amaro. JoJo was an acquaintance of a girl I worked with and ran with quite a bit, so we spent a lot of time over a six month period at the restaurant. I spent a few nights drinking with these guys afterhours at the restaurant. At the time I didn't know about John's involvement in the KC family, but looking back there was definitely that kind of vibe with these guys.

The following Pitch article talks about Vivace, and had a very interesting blurb I highlighted below.

http://www.pitch.com/2004-06-10/dining/cha-cha-vivace/full

"The neighborhood we now know as the River Market slowly went dead for a century, but it's experiencing a post-millennium renaissance, with expensive loft condominiums, an antique mall, snazzy little shops and the newest see-and-be-seen restaurant, Vivace. One of the restaurant's staffers, John Cuezze, might debate the theory that this north-of-the-loop neighborhood ever got too sleepy, because he had a great-uncle who played piano in one of the saloons that occupied the front half of Vivace. That poor relative was shot dead by a ricocheting bullet. "It was either 1928 or 1938," Cuezze says. "And in those days, there was still a brothel upstairs."

The building has been home to a wide variety of tenants (including a lesbian bar) over the past few decades. And if the ghost of Cuezze's great-uncle Phil is still hanging around, he's probably amazed at the changes that new owners JoAnne Cuezze (John's wife) and her business partner, Joe Amaro, have made."

9. Carl “Tuffy” DeLuna (Inactive)- Link detailing Tuffy's ban from Missouri casinos in 2005:

http://www.labor-unions.net/LOCALS/LU110/panel_bans_mobster_from_missouri.htm
"Longtime Kansas City mob figure Carl Angelo "Tuffy" DeLuna on Wednesday was barred from Missouri's riverboat casinos.

Missouri Gaming Commission investigators said DeLuna, 77, had frequented area casinos since his release from federal prison in 1998. He served 12 years on multiple racketeering and other convictions related to skimming profits from Las Vegas casinos in the 1970s and '80s.

DeLuna could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

He has 30 days to appeal his listing in Missouri's "Black Book" of undesirables.

Kevin Mullally, commission director, said that DeLuna's gambling came to the commission's attention and that a check of player- tracking records at area casinos confirmed it.

DeLuna becomes the eighth person to be listed by the commission, and the first since 1997."


10. Frank DeLuna

11. Richard “Rick” DeLuna

12. Nicholas “Nick” DiGirlamo- This info from the union case DiGirlamo was involved in ties together a few guys on this list

"In United States v. International Bhd. of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of Am. ("DiGirlamo"), 824 F. Supp. 410 (S.D.N.Y. 1993), DiGirlamo was the bookkeeper for IBT Local 41 in Kansas City, Missouri and the evidence therein established that he associated with four men -- Charles Moretina, James Moretina, Peter Simone ("Simone"), and Frank Tousa ("Tousa") -- whom he knew to be members of the Kansas City LCN. Id. at 414-416 (discussing association with C. Moretina, J. Moretina, P. Simone and F. Tousa).

DiGirlamo's car was observed by the FBI outside of Charles Moretina's house during working hours. He also attended Charles Moretina's criminal trial and visited him several times in prison. Id. at 416. James Moretina and Simone hired DiGirlamo as an accountant for their business -- Be Amused Vending Company-- and he would occasionally go to Simone's illegal gambling hall to pick up the company's books. In fact, during his tenure as the company's accountant, the FBI seized illegal gambling equipment which the company owned, and James Moretina and Simone were eventually convicted for money laundering and illegal gambling. Id.

DiGirlamo also visited James Moretina's home and spoke with him daily on the telephone. Id.

DiGirlamo and Simone had known each other since childhood. They had participated in community sporting and charity events together, and had spent time at one another's homes. Id.

DiGirlamo had also prepared Tousa and his wife's personal tax returns and had spent time in the Tousas' home while doing so. Id."


13. Thomas Fontanello

14. John Glorioso

15. Robert Gulotta

16. Nicholas LaBruzzo- Own's Chubby's Restaurant. Here is a Pitch article about the restaurant, just confirms LaBruzzo is the owner.

http://www.pitch.com/2000-08-10/dining/fat-city/full

17. Jack LaScuola

18. Joseph “Joe” Mandacina (IP)_ Owns popular KC strip joint Diamond Joe's. Here are two links to stories about the club and Joe and a building he owns that house a local French Restaurant:

http://www.pitch.com/2001-12-20/news/prancers-and-vixens/full

Mandacina was also somehow involved with 901 Mississippi St and Shenanigans in Lawrence, KS in 1976. I grew up in and currently live in Lawrence, so I will try and find out more info.

Following up on Joe Mandacina in Lawrence, as of 2001 he still owned the building at 901 Mississippi, which now houses the Cork & Barrel liquor store (owned by different people).

Here is the link confirming as much:

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2001/jul/07/cork_barrel_to/

"Allison Vance Moore, an agent for Grubb & Ellis/The Winbury Group in Lawrence, said that she received several inquiries from people interested in subleasing the building for use as a bar or nightclub.

But neither the Merc nor the building's ownership group led by Michael Messina and Joe Mandacina wanted to lease to such businesses."

19. Salvatore “Sal” Mandacina (IP)

20. James Moretina- Charles Moretina was involved with Phoenix Investment Group in Lenexa, KS and Moretina Diversified at 28th/State Ave, in Kansas City, KS in 1997.

21. Benjamin “Ben” Palmentere- Ben and Joe Palmentere was the head of Palmentere Brothers Distributing, who is big into trucking, vending and soft drink distribution in the area.. Ben actually sold the business to what appears to be legit new owners in 1994. A link to the business is found here:

http://www.palmenterebros.com/

A story about the new owners and transaction is here:

http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/1997/04/14/smallb1.html


Here is some background on Palmentere (I believe his father is Baldasaro, not 100% on that though):

"Local 64 HRE - Kansas City. This local was formed as a result of a merger of 4 locals by the International. During the two years it was in receivership, the local was run by Michael Salerno, hand-picked by Hanley. Salerno is under investigation for allegedly embezzling organizing funds disbursed to him by the International. When the local was taken out of receivership in 1976, Baldasaro Palmentere, former bagman for Nick Civella's right hand man, Danny Lawson, appeared as the Secretary Treasurer of the local. Hanley supported Palmentere who according to DOL is trying to gain control over all the locals' funds."

22. Eugene “Gene” Picone

23. Vincent “Vince” Picone- Possiblty recently deceased in a car accident, if this is him:

http://www.kansascity.com/news/breaking_news/story/415257.html

Owner of Quality Detail and Auto sales at 326 Olive.

24. Joseph Porrello (IP)

25. Joseph “Joe” Ragusa

26. Peter Joseph Ribaste (Las Vegas)-Peter is among the most well known KC guys because of the Vegas contacts. He owns several strip clubs through Ziegfield's Entertainment in the KC area. Most notable among those is Totally Nude Temptations Downtown, which is attached to The Cigar Box, where his brother Louis Ribaste is involved. For reasons not known to me, Peter transferred ownership of Temptations to John Ribaste in 2003, but is still very involved in the club's operations.

Louis has also been involved in various local restaurants, including Cafe New Yorker. The family also owns the KnobtownFruit Market at 8540 Noland Road.

Louis Ribaste was actively involved in Lawrence until at least 2002 with (I'm not making this up) The Bada Bing Strip Club. I do not know anything about Peter Bengimina, a KC businessman mentioned in the article, but I'm very curious about him.

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2002/mar/09/briefcase179/

Gala Hospitality Corp., owner of the strip club formerly known as Gala Cabaret, has signed a letter of intent to acquire Bada Bing in Lawrence.

The Bada Bing strip club is owned by a company controlled by Kansas City businessman Peter Bengimina, who bought it from Louis Ribaste a few months ago. Bengimina could not be reached for comment.

Gala Hospitality, with headquarters in Miami, was formerly known as Xpedian Inc., a small public company previously involved in Web-based financial planning businesses.

Jeff Stoller, president of Gala Hospitality, said the purchase price was still being negotiated. The deal is subject to approval by liquor control authorities in Lawrence.

Another article quoting Ribaste about The Bing:

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2001/mar/17/bada_bing_to/

The following Pitch article details some of this, with the most interesting blurb below. I think it would be a decent assumption that Louis Ribaste is very actively involved with the KC family.

http://www.pitch.com/2005-02-24/news/it-s-his-world/full

"In the mid-'70s, Louis Ribaste had owned a cocktail lounge called Judge Roy Bean's at Fourth Street and Wyandotte in the River Quay (now the River Market). An explosion leveled it, along with the entire block -- which was owned by mob snitch Fred Bonadonna -- in March 1977. Ribaste collected insurance money. Three months later, his other downtown club near Ninth Street burned to the ground. Police never determined who was responsible for the bombing or the suspected arson.

Another member of the Ribaste family, Peter Ribaste, moved to Las Vegas in 1989 after doing six months in prison for mail fraud; he had failed to disclose $90,000 in Las Vegas gambling debts on loan applications to buy a Kansas City car dealership. In 1998 the Las Vegas Gaming Commission, citing mob ties, banned Peter from local casinos. In 2003, according to news reports, Peter transferred his ownership interest in Totally Nude Temptations, the strip club adjoining the Cigar Box, to his wife, who transferred the ownership to another family member, John Ribaste.

John Pisciotta has owned the Cigar Box since it opened in 1997. He bought the land beneath the club from Louis Ribaste in 2001. The Pitch could not locate Ribaste to request an interview.

Regardless of whether the Cigar Box deserves its reputation, plenty of the partiers there buy into the club's underworld allure. When asked about it, people who could dispel any such notions suddenly turn goodfella, invoking a code of silence.

Bring up the club's rumored mob connections and Latta becomes visibly agitated, like an actor threatening a young punk about asking too many questions. Pisciotta shuns the press. Pisciotta's attorney, Richard Bryant, strongly discourages mafia-related questions. No one brings trouble here, says the club's only enforcer, the gray-haired, hulking bouncer who works the humidor.

"What people do, that's their own thing," Latta says of the Cigar Box's reputation. "It's like anything else. You fuck with the wrong people, you get hurt. I never asked anybody what they do. Everybody always liked me, and I always liked everybody."

The mythology surrounding the club hasn't hurt Latta's stage persona -- barroom lore even has it that his years performing at the Cigar Box are to pay off debts to the mob. "No, that's so far from the truth," Latta says. "If that's what they think, it's crazy."

His love and loyalty lie with Pisciotta."

Pete Ribaste is shown as incorporating the Market Social Club located at 106 E. 5th Street in KCMO in 1986 and dissolving it in 1987. That site is now home to Solaris Massage, which does not appear to be affiliated in any way with Ribaste. That record is found here:

https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?670456

John Ribaste holds the liquor license at Pure, a bar located on 350 Hwy.

27. Philip Saladino- Owns PS Surfaces, a recently formed floor laying company. Incoration record found here:

https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?2019906


Also owns Mercy Properties. Incorporation link found here:

https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?2019906

28. Samuel Scardino

29. Pasquale Sellaro

30. Anthony “Tony Simone- Owner of Necco Coffee. This guy is a real prick. I did advertising for them. Doesn't pay his bills and takes it personally if you cancel his shitty coffee service.

Necco Coffee Website (note Tom Sciortino is prominent in the company):

http://www.neccocoffee.com/home.asp[/url]

Link that contains pictures of Anthony Simone:

http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=necco_raiders

Interesting background from a 1991 story:

http://www.firedupmissouri.com/roe_nace_mob_fundraiser

"Federal authorities contend the mob used this company’s [Necco's] office in 1973 as the headquarters for a multimillion-dollar bookmaking operation.

A federal jury convicted the company’s president, Anthony Simone, of gambling charges. Simone pleaded guilty to another federal charge in 1984 after authorities found him with coffee stolen from an interstate shipment.

Anthony Simone is the cousin of reputed mob lieutenant Peter J. Simone. Phil Simone is their uncle"

Here is a link to a story involving Anthony:

http://www.pitch.com/2003-05-08/news/bean-counters/full

Here is a link to a blog describing a fundraiser for a Mayoral candidate that involved the Simone's and Brancato's and was held at The Cigar Box.

http://kcbuzzblog.typepad.com/kcbuzzblog/2007/02/nace_fundraisin.html

31. Philip “Phil” Simone

32. Peter Tamburello- The Tamburello family owns Marty's BBQ in the Northland on Vivion Road, as well as Talk More Wireless on N. Highland. Marty's BBQ has been there for over 23 years.

33. John Termini- Termini currently is involved with Cater Time Vending in Kansas City. He is banned from Missouri Riverboat Casinos, detailed here:

http://www.globalgamingnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=755&Itemid=66

More info on his current gambling habits here:

http://www.beloblog.com/KMOV_Blogs/n4idailybriefing/2007/12/do_casinos_need_a_master_list.html

"John Termini, who is on the Missouri Exclusion List, told me that he travels to Nevada and Mississippi to gamble in casinos in those states."
34. Frank Tousa- Tousa started two Social Clubs. Columbus Park Social Club was in 1969, and Northview Social Club Association preceded that in 1964. Both clubs were located at 1048 East 5th Street in KC. Curiosly enough, the following linked story details a bank robbery in 1930 where one of the assailants lived at that exact address. That story is linked here:

As of today, the Rochester mob is considered gone, having slowly ceased to exist after the successful convictions in the 1980s. Those few members and associates still alive and not in prison are reported to be either retired or inactive. Federal investigations point out that traditional organized crime is still active in the area, but no longer controlled by a local Mafia organization. Unconfirmed reports claim there are currently some members and associates of the Buffalo Mafia Family active within the city, but it remains unclear in what kind of operations they are involved in.

Furio great stuff!

Here is an article with some of the Tampa history.

The Mob in Tampa

(MulligansList-Tampa Bay, St Pete, Clearwater,Pasco)
Posted on: Sunday, 21 June, 2009 20:52
Updated On: Thursday, 19 September, 2013 11:32


Tampa has had an interesting mob history. Most elected officials deny its existence, and many of the key players have avoided brushes with the law and ensuing notoriety. None of the big bosses ever spent a night in jail, although some did leave this earth in a gruesome manner.
Most immigrants to the Tampa Bay area have no idea of Tampa's colorful gangland tapestry. So here's a guide, for residents new and old, of wise guys' hangouts and to venues where many made men were unmade.

The story begins with Charlie Dean of the Underworld Wall, the dashing son of a prominent doctor and socialite. For the first part of the 20th century, Wall ran everything from illegal gambling to narcotics. He employed Anglos, Cubans, Italians and Spaniards in his organization. Wall held court in Ybor City and dispensed justice to those who crossed him, along with gold coins to neighborhood children.

By the mid 1940s, however, Wall was forced to concede his territory to the Mafia, run by a Sicilian immigrant by the name of Santo Trafficante Sr. Although the media and many law enforcement officials look to Salvatore Red Italiano and James Lumia as the early bosses of the crime family, Santo Sr. actually ran things from behind the scenes, sheltering himself from scrutiny.

Not that law enforcement was much of a problem with political fixers like Jimmy Velasco and Joe Baby Joe Diez on the job. They bought, bribed and partnered up with everyone from beat cops to the sheriff, city councilmen to the mayor. Tampa's infamous history of corruption is rooted in mob payoffs and political patronage for gangsters.

Tampa also saw its share of hits. From 1928 to 1959, more than 25 gangland figures and a few innocent bystanders were gunned down in what would come to be called the Era of Blood. This was initially a war for control of bolita, a popular and profitable numbers game that was incredibly widespread throughout the state. After Charlie Wall gave in to the mob in 1945, the killings took on the form of house cleaning and elimination of competition.

On Aug. 10, 1954, Santo Trafficante Sr. died and passed the mantle of leadership on to his son Santo Jr. For the next four years, Santo Jr. (who was himself shot and wounded in 1953) consolidated independent Cuban and Spanish gangsters under his organization. By the 1960s, the Mafia was the top criminal group in town. Although not as large as organizations in Chicago or New York, the Tampa mob ran gambling, loansharking, narcotics trafficking, stolen property rings, union corruption, fraud and political corruption for decades. They also owned an inordinate number of local bars, nightclubs and liquor distributors.

Santo Trafficante Jr. set up shop in pre-Castro Cuba where he ran the Sans Souci and other casinos. After being expelled from Cuba when Castro ascended to power, Santo was hired by the CIA to formulate a plan to assassinate the new leader, due to his extensive contacts with Cuban exiles and gangsters from the island. Trafficante Jr.'s name is also tossed around as a conspirator in the assassination of President Kennedy.

Miami became Trafficante's base of operations in the 1960s, although he still visited Tampa. Santo Jr. regularly met with top mob bosses from across the country, along with Cuban, Corsican and Spanish crime lords, and he became one of the more powerful Mafia leaders in America.

Trafficante Jr.'s health, however, was a constant source of problems. On March 17, 1987, he died in a Houston hospital. The role of boss was allegedly passed to his former driver and prot'g', Vincent Salvatore LoScalzo.

The new family was much smaller because many of the older mobsters were retired or dead, and LoScalzo allegedly initiated a new group of members that included developer Joseph DiGerlando, James J. Valenti and Salvatore Carollo. The new organization set its sights on white-collar fraud and found itself in the middle of a major fiasco in 1992, when investigators revealed a laundry list of charges alleging fraudulent activity at Key Bank. The investigation alleged that the bank was used as a front for money laundering, bank fraud, wire fraud and a host of other financial crimes. Among those named were reputed mobsters Vincent LoScalzo, Frank Albano, Santo Jose Trafficante (nephew of the late boss) and old-time loanshark James Donofrio.

The Key Bank case fell apart after wiretaps were thrown out of court, and the next year, LoScalzo was arrested and charged with fraud in an unrelated case. He pled no contest and received three years probation. By the late 1990s some suspected the family was dormant, some said the family was absorbed by the New York-based Gambino family, while others maintained the family was still around, but not as active.

In October 2000, federal authorities arrested 19 suspected members of the Trafficante family's South Florida faction led by Steve Uncle Steve Raffa. The case showed the crime group was still active and raking in millions of dollars each year. The case has yet to go to trial, but Steve Raffa still chose to exit before he could be brought before a judge. He committed suicide in his Pembrooke Pines home on Nov. 16, 2000.

On a lazy afternoon, you can stroll (or ride) by some of the more notable sites that mark local mob history. These are the places the historical tours won't tell you about. Just don't ask too many questions.

Columbia Restaurant (2117 E. Seventh Ave., Ybor City)The well-known Ybor City landmark used to be a hangout of both Santo Trafficante Sr. (who died on Aug. 10, 1954) and Santo Trafficante Jr. (who died on March 17, 1987). James Costa Jimmy Longo (who died on June 15, 1992) was a former maitre d' at the restaurant. Longo was a solider in the crime family and one-time bodyguard for Santo Jr. Police observed numerous meetings at the Columbia between Trafficante, Longo and other mob figures, including Louis Cottichia, a New York mobster who disappeared in August 1963 after lunching with Trafficante in Miami.

La Tropicana Restaurant(1822 E. Seventh Ave., Ybor City)La Tropicana may be best known for its Cuban sandwiches and caf' con leche, but in the 1960s and 1970s, it was also the headquarters for a sizable bookmaking operation run by Henry Trafficante and Frank Cowboy Ippolito. Ippolito owned the original La Tropicana located across the street. He sold it to Angel Menendez in 1966. The FBI named both Henry and Frank as soldiers in the Tampa Mafia. The two crime family members split their time between La Tropicana and the Italian Club.

The Italian Club(1729 E. Seventh Avenue, Ybor City)Henry Trafficante and Frank Ippolito had a Western Union ticker placed inside the club during baseball season so they could get up-to-the minute baseball scores for their gambling operations. The club initially served as a mutual-aid society for Italian immigrants at the beginning of the 1900s. Many men associated with the Tampa mob have held posts in the club, including reputed current boss Vincent LoScalzo and Ignacio Antinori (murdered on Oct. 23, 1940). The FBI, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, New Jersey state police, and the Broward County and Hillsborough County sheriffs allege that LoScalzo has been the boss of the Trafficante crime family since the death of Santo Trafficante Jr.

1510 20th St., Ybor City (between Fourth and Fifth avenues, along the brick wall)On the evening of Dec. 12, 1948, Jimmy Velasco was shot five times with a .38 revolver and killed by an unknown assailant in front of this wall. He was whacked as he was getting into his Buick with his wife and daughter. The gunman hit him in the heart, left shoulder, left side, left arm, and the left side of his head. Jimmy was the main political liaison for the mob as well as a gambling figure. He made regular payoffs to Sheriff Hugh Culbreath and then-Mayor Curtis Hixon. Underworld figure Joe Provenzano was tried for Velasco's murder but acquitted on April 1, 1949. The murder remains unsolved.

Silver Meteor Bar (612 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa)On the night of June 6, 1953, two shotgun blasts tore through the front window of the bar and blew off the face of Henry Hicks, a janitor who was mopping the floor. The shots were intended for Paul Ferraro, who had just walked out the front door. Ferraro was the bartender at the Silver Meteor, as well as a gambling figure with a long record of arrests. At that time, the Silver Meteor was owned by gambling figure Ciro Spoto Bellucia. Ferraro, now deceased, subsequently went into hiding and Hicks became the 20th victim of gangland violence in Tampa. The murder remains unsolved.

Metro Stevedore(2009 Eastport Drive, Tampa)Ciro Bedami is listed in corporate records as the registered agent for Metro Stevedore since 1965. Bedami was named as a soldier in the Tampa Mafia at congressional hearings in 1963 and 1978. He has a conviction for bookmaking in 1959. Ciro is the son of mobster Angelo Bedami Sr. (who died on Nov. 29, 1980), brother of mobster Joe Bedami (who went missing in August 1968), and the uncle of Angelo Bedami Jr. and Joseph Charles Bedami (both convicted of drug charges, Angelo in 1984, Joe in 1990). Sources say that Ciro has not been involved in any criminal activity for years and is considered retired from the crime family.

Castaways Lounge(4601 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa)This bar opened in 1966 and changed names to the Sahara in 1982. It was owned by Joseph D. Lazzara (who died on Dec. 1, 1999), the brother of mobster Augustine Primo Lazzara (who died on April 8, 1968). Joseph, along with his son John, used the Sahara for a money laundering operation, to which he pled guilty in 1990. The bar was also a major mob hangout in the 1970s, and served as headquarters for a crew of drug dealers, arsonists and assorted mob figures led by Frank Daddy Frank Diecidue, underboss of the Trafficante crime family from the 1960s until his death on Oct. 18, 1994. The Sahara is still under the ownership of the Lazzara family but free of illegal activity.

3523 W. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa Rene Nunez, successor to the political corruption throne of Jimmy Velasco, and Angelo Giglio, a mob bagman and gambling figure, came to this building on the evening of Sept. 22, 1952, while it was still under construction. They were there to discuss their gambling business. Although a night watchman was present, no one saw the gunman who shot Nunez in the head and Giglio in the back and arm with a 12-gauge shotgun. It was the first and only double gangland homicide in Tampa. The murder remains unsolved.

1700 block of 16th Street, Ybor City On Feb. 18, 1953, numbers kingpin Charlie Williams was gunned down while coming out of a barbershop on this street. Williams controlled bolita and illegal gambling in St. Petersburg and was reportedly an associate and partner of Santo Trafficante Jr. Charlie lived at 1242 First Ave S. in St. Petersburg, near what is now Tropicana Field. The murder remains unsolved.

Corner of Eighth Avenue and 14th Street, Ybor City George Saturday Zarate was shot and wounded as he sat in his car on the evening of Nov. 5, 1936. The adjoining building was the former site of the El Dorado, one of the most infamous gambling houses in Ybor City. Zarate was a well-known narcotics trafficker and gambling kingpin. He left Tampa in the early 1940s and moved to New York, where he worked with Charlie Lucky Luciano. Zarate subsequently moved to pre-Castro Havana where he died on Aug. 23, 1955.

Tahitian Inn(601 S. Dale Mabry, Tampa) The Tahitian Inn is situated on a parcel of land once owned by Santo Trafficante Jr. According to the Key Bank affidavit, Sam Pupello Sr., brother of bank president Frank Pupello, also held an interest in the motel. Law enforcement officers also reported monitoring crime figures holding meetings at the Polynesian-theme inn.

Donatello's (232 N. Dale Mabry, Tampa)This upscale Italian restaurant, one of the best in Tampa, is managed by Valentino Mordini, who also helped finance its construction. Mordini was investigated in the early 1980s by the FDLE and charged with eight counts of bookmaking in Broward County in 1985. The FDLE also stated that he was formerly involved with members of the Luchesse, Gambino and Trafficante crime families, along with members of the Sicilian Mafia.

7007 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa This was the former site of O'Ryans, an Irish pub that was actually an undercover operation spearheaded by the FDLE to infiltrate large-scale bookmaking operations. The case Operation Super Bowl netted 69 suspects on charges from gambling to receiving stolen property. Mobster Nick Scaglione and reputed associate Lou Caggiano were both convicted of bookmaking charges. Santo Trafficante III, nephew of Tampa's late Godfather, was charged with bookmaking but the charges were later dropped.

Seabreeze Restaurant (3409 Causeway Blvd., Tampa)This Tampa landmark was once the place of employment for Jimmy Longo, who also reportedly held court at the restaurant. Owner George Licata (who also employed Longo at his vending company) was called before a 1968 grand jury investigating organized crime in Tampa. He was questioned about Longo's employment, not for any criminal activity on his part. The restaurant has since been sold.

1219 17th Ave., Tampa From the 1920s to 1955, this house was the home of the Dean of the Underworld, Charlie Wall. Wall, a scion of the powerful Lykes family, ran gambling, extortion and narcotics before he was pushed aside by the Mafia in the mid 1940s. On April 19, 1955, Wall's wife came home from a vacation and found Charlie lying dead on the floor of their bedroom, his throat slashed, his skull fractured and his face a mess of bruises. Charlie had survived three previous assassination attempts on June 8, 1930; June 3, 193; and April 14, 1944. The murder remains unsolved.

2200 block of 15th St., Ybor City Fernando Serrano, who ran a bolita operation, was sitting in his car with his wife, talking to his brother on the evening of Jan. 10, 1932. A Ford pulled up next to the Serrano's car and opened fire with a shotgun. Mrs. Serrano took a load of buckshot in her face and died upon arrival at the hospital. Fernando was only slightly injured. Police rounded up a number of suspects including Julio Cortez, believed to be the triggerman. No hard evidence linked any of the suspects to the homicide. The murder remains unsolved.

3608, 3610, 3612 El Centro Blvd., St. Pete Beach Henry Gonzalez, a Tampa lawyer who represented Santo Trafficante Jr., once owned 3608. Reputed mobster and Sam Trafficante's son-in-law Frank Albano owned 3612, which was sold for $580,000 in 1995. Santo Jr.'s daughters still owns 3610, where Santo spent time when he wasn't in Tampa or Miami. The beachfront properties were the site of many parties and barbecues. A car registered to former state attorney and current state appellate judge E.J. Salcines was observed at the properties the weekend of June 9, 1967.

2200 block of Seventh Avenue, Ybor City This parcel of property was part of the estate of Santo Trafficante Sr. At the time of his death, the property housed a drug store, fish market and barber shop.

Southport Stevedore/Southport Terminals (3615 Mullen Ave., Tampa)Southport Stevedore was owned by the Imaparto family. The vice president of the company from 1965 until the company folded in 1974 was Harry Fontana. He was a capo in the New York-based Colombo crime family until his death at age 79, in March of 1979. Fontana was involved in the Gallo-Profaci mob war in the early 1960s before he came to Tampa. He sided with the Profaci/Colombo faction that eventually won the interfamily battle.

White Spot Beer Parlor(Southwest corner of Broad Street and Nebraska Avenue) This site used to be the White Spot Beer Parlor in the 1930s. At around 3:30 on the morning of July 11, 1937, owner Joe Vaglicia, one of the early Mafia powers in Tampa, went outside for a quick meal of fried potatoes. He was the Tampa representative at one of the first nationwide gangland conferences, the 1928 Hotel Statler meeting in Cleveland. He went there with produce salesman Ignacio Italiano (died on Aug. 11, 1930). On this July morning, Vaglicia failed to notice the black two-door 1937 Ford coming to a stop across the street and swerving around. He most likely heard the shotgun blasts that sent 10 slugs into his back before he fell to the ground dead. Witnesses gave police a description of the car and the men driving, but no suspects were ever charged with the murder. The murder remains unsolved.

Dixie Amusements(702 W. Columbus Drive, Tampa) This is the former site of the vending company owned by Frank Diecidue. The company was originally incorporated in 1959 with mobster Joe Bedami as president and Diecidue associate Manuel Gispert as vice president. It closed shop in November of 1985.

2505 Bristol Ave., Tampa This was the home of Santo Trafficante Jr. until his death. It was purchased from Trafficante in 1961 by Vincent Amato (who died on Dec. 15, 1991), a made member of the Gambino crime family. The house was then leased back to Trafficante for $200 a month. Santo's daughter and son-in-law (now deceased) bought it in 1970. The family still owns the house.

3301 W. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa This is the former site of the Kit Kat Club and Starboard Lounge, owned by the Trafficantes until they were forced to sell their interests in 1969 to satisfy income tax liens against brothers Santo Trafficante Jr., Henry Trafficante and Salvatore Sam Trafficante (also named as a soldier in the crime family).

Boston Bar (2113 Columbus Drive, Tampa) A little after 1 p.m. on Nov. 11, 1953, Joe Antinori walked into the Boston Bar with a sheet of plate glass for the bartop. Joe Antinori was the son of mob kingpin Ignacio Antinori, as well as a convicted drug trafficker. He also owned a jukebox company. The owner of the bar, Johnny Scarface Rivera, asked Joe specifically to come in that day to deliver the glass. A man followed Joe into the bar, walked up to Rivera and ordered a shot of rye. Rivera walked into the backroom to get a bottle while the unidentified man turned to Antinori, pulled out a .38 and pumped four bullets into him. Joe was shot twice in the chest and twice in the head. The murder remains unsolved.

Ola and 26th streets (adjacent to Woodlawn Cemetery, Tampa)Joe Pelusa Diaz, a convicted bolita operator and associate of numerous underworld figures, was shot to death at this spot as he was walking to his car on the evening of July 2, 1958. Diaz was killed with three blasts from a 12-gauge shotgun, which pumped 26 holes into the 44-year-old gangster. Diaz was a partner of well-known bolita and gambling figure Eddie Blanco. Three weeks before his death, Diaz was arrested in a massive bolita sweep. He told the judge, Gangs don't shoot anybody anymore. The murder remains unsolved.

The Godfather Lounge (N.E. corner of Hillsborough & Manhattan avenues, Tampa)This was the former site of the Godfather. It was situated on property owned by Santo Trafficante Jr. until his death. Pasquale Matassini (the owner of the 2001 strip club on Dale Mabry in Tampa) operated the bar.


Mahalo Auto Sales (14629 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa)Reputed Tampa mob boss Vincent LoScalzo was the registered agent for the company until August of last year when it was transferred to Nelson Valdes, who also co-owned ValuCar dealerships with Ernie Haire III. In July 2000 federal agents raided a ValuCar dealership in Bradenton. They carted away files and took down VIN numbers from cars. ValuCar has since declared bankruptcy.

Mike's Lounge and Package (3607 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa)Vincent LoScalzo bought Mike's Lounge in 1976 under the company SAL Inc., which also had reputed mob soldier Frank Albano as vice president. Salvatore Silent Sam Lorenzo (who died on May 6, 1995), a longtime crime family soldier, was an employee of Mike's. The bar was sold in 1985 to convicted drug trafficker and mob associate Mike R. Napoli, who took out a loan from Key Bank to help finance the purchase. The bar was sold in 1988 after being seized by the FBI as part of a drug trafficking indictment against Napoli. Napoli's partner in the drug ring, also convicted, was Terry E. Cacciatore, great nephew of Santo Trafficante Jr., and son of the late narcotics kingpin Joe M. Jo-Jo Cacciatore (who died in December 1967). The bar is now known as KC's Lounge and is no longer mob connected.

He is now 90 years old and reportedly suffers from Alzheimer's Disease.

Anthony Distributors (1704 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa)This liquor distributorship was founded in 1940 by Salvatore Red Italiano, one of the earliest Mafia powers in Tampa. Italiano amassed a series of liquor arrests during Prohibition before forming Anthony Distributors. Salvatore left Tampa in 1950 to avoid a subpoena from the Kefauver Commission. He also missed his prot'g', James Lumia, getting shotgunned to death. Italiano reportedly visited Charlie Luciano in Italy before retiring to Mexico, where he died in November 1968. He was buried in Tampa.

Char-Pal Lounge (3711 Busch Blvd., Tampa)In the movie Goodfellas, Henry Hill and James Burke fly to Tampa to collect on a gambling debt owed to them by a local bar owner. The incident really happened. Hill and Burke were requested to come to Tampa by two local crime figures, brothers Luis and Raul Charbonier. A customer of their bookmaking operation was refusing to pay up on his debts. After a leisurely dinner at the Columbia Restaurant, Hill, Burke and the Charboniers drove to a bar in Temple Terrace where they picked up Gaspar Ciaccio, who was $13,000 in debt to the men. Gaspar was forced into a car and driven to the Char-Pal Lounge, owned by the Charboniers. Along the way he was pistol-whipped. When they got to the Char-Pal, they whisked Ciaccio inside and beat him some more in the back room. They also threatened Felix LoCicero, a friend of Ciaccio's who also owed them money. Ciaccio agreed to pay the debt, but unbeknownst to the mobsters, his sister worked for the FBI. She turned them in. The Charboniers, Hill and Burke were arrested and convicted of extortion.

2001 (2309 N. Dale Mabry, Tampa)This Tampa strip club was owned and operated by Pasquale Pat Matassini (who died on May 1, 1999). Matassini was a longtime mob associate whose first arrest and conviction was for a 1950 robbery committed with Joe Bedami Sr. Matassini amassed a series of arrests for counterfeiting and battery, and was investigated in the Key Bank case. He also gave noted Tampa business owner Joe Redner his start in the adult entertainment profession.

Red Top Bar(910 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa) One of the more notorious gambling dens in Tampa was the Red Top Bar, which once stood on this site. Mobster Phillip Piazza, who died on Jan. 21, 1977, owned it. Piazza was a mob soldier (named in 1963) with arrests for bookmaking, liquor law violations, and buying and selling stolen property. Piazza sold the Red Top to his nephew, John Piazza, and Joseph DiGerlando, due to his bookmaking arrest. DiGerlando, a native of Sicily, was named by the FDLE in 1992 as an alleged member of the Trafficante crime family. DiGerlando, a successful developer, denies the charge. The Red Top burned down in 1980.

He was charged with bookmaking but the count was dismissed. He had business interests in New Orleans with reputed members of the Marcello crime family. Trafficante has adamantly denied allegations that he is involved in organized crime.

Malio's (301 S. Dale Mabry, Tampa)This restaurant was a favorite dining place for Santo Trafficante Jr. In 1984, it was named as the site of illegal gambling activities.

University Restaurant (1902 Fowler Ave., Tampa)This restaurant was owned by Nick Scaglione from 1959 to 1995. He was a longtime gambling figure with over a dozen arrests for bookmaking from 1948 to 1984. Along with his brother Al, who ran the Italian Castle Restaurant in Lakeland, the Scaglione brothers ran some of the largest gambling operations in Florida. They were both named in 1963 and in 1978 as soldiers in the Trafficante crime family. Nick died on Aug. 27, 1994, and Al passed away on Feb. 5, 1996.

20th Street and Harper Avenue (along refinery fence Tampa)At 9:47 a.m. on June 5, 1950, James Head of the Elks Lumia had his face blown apart by a well-aimed 12-gauge shotgun. Lumia was in his car talking to two employees at his Republic Oil Co., which sold oil and gasoline to customers across the Tampa Bay area, including Hillsborough County and the city of Tampa. He also owned Bay Oil Co. (20th Street and Grant Avenue). While Lumia was in conversation, a 1949 blue Ford coupe pulled alongside his 1950 Chrysler. The driver of the car honked his horn. As Lumia turned to face the car, a passenger hiding in the back seat rose up, took aim, and fired the fatal shot. The blast tore off the top part of his face, sending blood and brain matter all over the car's interior. Lumia's death was one of the more spectacular gangland hits in Tampa's history. Among the visitors to the Lumia house after the killing was future mayor Nick Nuccio, there to express his condolences to the grieving widow. Police questioned everyone from the Velasco brothers, Arturo and Roy, to the Trafficantes, but the murder remains unsolved.

Is this that bs list that's floating around the net.


From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.
