I gained access to a wealth of FBI documents and information on Cocchiaro. So I decided to expand a biography I wrote on him previously. I think you'll like it.

One of the most active racketeers in the old DeCavalcante Family, and one of its most notorious as well, was Brooklyn born Frank (Big Frankie) Cocchiaro.
A prolific thief and strong-arm man, he operated throughout New York and New Jersey, and South Florida as well for decades.
