Talking about Sicilians, does anyone know if the Outfit has ever had some sort of a “zip” crew like some crime families back east? I know that Detroit allegedly has had a tiny Sicilian faction.

By going through the chart posted by Furio, I see a lot of guys with Italian first & last names. Now I’m well aware that Italian-American are quite traditional, so it’s not uncommon to meet a 4th generation Italian with an Italian first name, but this had me wondering.

Also, who is Vincenzo Ercolino the chart allegeds as the “Italian operative”?

I know that the Northwestern suburbs have had a constant flow of Italian immigrants (mostly Sicilians) in the last twenty years...

EDIT:
On a side note: What are the chances that non-Outfit affiliated Italian criminal crews have been operating around Chicagoland? We know this is happening all around North America. Why not Chicago?
