I've been told that Nick Roti is Fred Roti's nephew making him the cousin to the Caruso brothers. Nick denies the family connection publicly, but I've been told he ventures to Lemont to meet with the Caruso family. He also disbanded their gambling unit. I'm really not sure what to believe.

Mayor Daley's head of security - Sam Roti - was Fred Roti's nephew.

Ha...if true that's pretty incredible. Is the disbanding of the gambling unit verified or just something you've heard? I figured if his name was Roti he had to be connected to Fred/Bruno in some capacity. Crazy.


Yeah it's public info that the CPD gambling unit -- where Don Herion and his crew had their glory days -- was disbanded in 2008. I'm not sure Roti was connected to it publicly, but it happened under his watch:
