The Outfit's first original boss Paul Ricca was a camorrista. Back in the old country he used to kill for the organization. Anton Cermak's assassin and the Outfit's first "Lee Harvey Oswald" Joe Zangara was also a camorrista. Moments before his execution he yelled viva Italia,viva Camorra. The Camorra members played a very significant role in forming of the Chicago Outfit.
Yeah, and Al Capone was neapolitan. Even Johnny Torrio as I recall. But I thought we talked about the organizations, not individuals? Toodoped you are the man on Chicago Outfit. Is there substantial evidence for a large organized narcotic operation under the rule of J Batters? And with that I dont mean traffickers being taxed. Who was the Carmine galante of the Outfit?
