Chicago's mob pretty much operates anywhere in the state they can get a racket going
go to the casinos in northwest Indiana and see how many Italians work there
the difronzo's did construction for Chicago public schools, that's proof of corruption

carparelli was a lake county guy with his own crew of criminals
There is no real Lake County crew. The Cicero crew has historically had a lot of guys in Lake County, but Carparelli was from the west suburbs. The printing company was in Carol Stream, a western suburb.
Carparelli was on tape saying he did not really know Solly D or the DiFronzos personally. Therefore, he is definitely not a made guy as Solly D was the Capo of Cicero. Carparelli at best was an associate, who travelled around with associates of his.
It is also interesting to note that Nick Ferriola worked at the same printing company, yet was not tapped to handle these activities. I take this to mean that Ferriola is a made guy and these activities were delegated to a lower ranked associate of the crew.
