Do you guys think Pasquale Contes operation was an independent one? He seemed to answer to Paul, not the Cherry hill guys, or Sicily. I guess he was in charge of American crew of Sicilian guys? He has kinda always been an enigma to me, was he part of the Pizza thing, or something entirely different? I could never figure out....
Patsy Conte's an interesting figure. I'm inclined to believe he was part of the Pizza Connection thing. He was charged with being involved in the murder of Pietro Alfano, a defendant in the Pizza Connection trial. The charges were dropped later though.
Must have been worth a lot. DiLeonardo testified that Patsy Conte was an "international heroin dealer, probably one of the biggest in the world at that time" (1989). On top of that he had supermarkets and was involved in construction. Still alive I think.
