One interesting article regarding Daddano from 1950....

B-1 was Domenico "Danny Roberts" Roberto (Chicago, IL)

Before the INS petitioned the U.S. Government to deport him back to his native Calabria in 1935, Domenico Roberto was a very important member of the old Capone Gang. The FBI, FBN, and Chicago Crime Commission all agree that Roberto was a top boss in charge of bootlegging, gambling, prostitution and other rackets on Capone's behalf.

He was such an important mafioso, that even thirty years after his deportation back to Italy, in 1962, the federal authorities stated in their internal #302 memos, (and I quote)... "The very wealthy Roberto still wields great power in Mafia circles."

PS: He also happens to be the older brother of Chicago mafioso, Giovanni (Johnny Roberts) Roberto, who was C-2 mentioned above.

Netanyahu has ruled out any role for the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, saying he plans to hand civil responsibilities over to local Palestinians unaffiliated with it or Hamas. But he has also said that it's impossible to make any such plans until Hamas is defeated because it has threatened anyone who cooperates with Israel.

Netanyahu's government is also deeply opposed to Palestinian statehood.

In a statement issued after the ultimatum, Netanyahu said Gantz' conditions would amount to "defeat for Israel, abandoning most of the hostages, leaving Hamas intact and establishing a Palestinian state.”

A: Nicky to Ace after sneaking into casino
(I can relate getting to that point)

Q: I don’t know if I could run a casino. The gaming commissioner already has a bunch of heat on me already.

Very close fight, but clowning around in the opening rounds is what proved to be costly for Fury. He did not win, and the ref saved him in the 9th. Doubled some good money thx H

The police and customs have made 38 arrests at various locations on the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam over the past seven days. This concerns 37 perpetrators, thirteen of whom are minors. Among them are four 15-year-old boys.
Furthermore, the ages vary between 15 and 33 years and the suspects come from Alkmaar, Rijssen, Zoetermeer, Alphen aan de Rijn, Ridderkerk, Hoogvliet and Rotterdam. The police said in a press release on Friday that they are suspected of drug trafficking.

yeah there have been some cock ups but using rental cars for a hit is pretty bad. especially when we consider the amount of stolen vehicles between mtl and toronto. no one in mtl had a line on 1 or 2 work cars for this? what happened to the good ole dodge caravan oft used by HA. a perfect work vehicle really, sliding door, lots of room to move inside and year dependent has a pretty good engine for a van. plus torching it after is much easier than destroying a porsche, mentally that is. the claim of the hitman who had contract on del balso going to extort him basically to not kill him is interesting. confirmation of anthony gallo as an associate of del balso is also new and helps explain the murder of his wife.

…Where’s Angelo?

Federal Law Enforcement Dismantles Organized Gun-Trafficking Ring in Brooklyn

Earlier today, May 10, 2024, at the EDNY federal courthouse in Brooklyn, a six-count indictment was unsealed charging Yashiya Louisdor, Zaire Alman, Marques Seals and a fourth defendant with conspiring to illegally traffic more than 40 firearms in three months.  Louisdor, Alman and Seals were arrested yesterday and are scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge Vera M. Scanlon.  The fourth defendant is still at large.  During the arrests 33 guns, including several rifles and shotguns, were recovered.
Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Thomas Kalogiros, Acting Special Agent-in-Charge, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Edward A. Caban, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD), announced the charges.
“As alleged, in just three short months the defendants attempted to bring over 40 guns into our community to sell them on our streets, including selling near an elementary school,” stated U.S. Attorney Peace. “Thanks to our Office and our law enforcement partners, this gun trafficking ring has been dismantled and we hope this sends a message to all who seek to profit from the illegal gun trade that we will not stop in our efforts to keep our community safe.”
“This indictment highlights NYPD investigators’ ongoing intelligence-driven efforts to pinpoint, arrest, and hold accountable gun traffickers,” stated NYPD Commissioner Caban. “Allegedly selling these illegal firearms in broad daylight, close to a school, makes these charges especially disturbing. Along with our partners at the ATF and the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, the NYPD vows to remain relentless in our quest to eradicate gun violence in all New York City neighborhoods.”
Stated ATF Acting Special Agent-in-Charge Kalogiros: “Firearms trafficking is a central focus of the ATF strategy to protect the public from violent crime. These individuals are alleged to have brought dozens of illegal firearms to the streets of New York. With their arrests we have disrupted and dismantled a trafficking ring that profited from bringing illegal firearms to our city streets endangering each and every one of their fellow citizens. I would like to thank the ATF Special Agents and Task Force Officers of the NYPD/ ATF Joint Firearms Task Force for their diligent efforts on this case. This case is yet another example of how the many units in the NYPD and ATF can collaborate and coordinate their efforts with their Federal partners at the United States Attorney’s Office to make the streets safer for all.”
According to the indictment and other court documents, the defendants made multiple sales of at least 40 illegal firearms, including semi-automatic and defaced weapons, between February 2024 and April 2024.  The defendants conducted many of these firearms sales in a vehicle in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, which was at a busy intersection and mere blocks away from an elementary school and a sports venue and concert arena.  The defendants also conducted these firearm sales in a vehicle near a public transportation hub in Manhattan.  Three members of the gun-trafficking operation obtained the firearms in Georgia and then transported them to New York to be sold on the streets of Brooklyn.  The firearms deals often occurred in the middle of the afternoon and in broad daylight.  Some of the firearms had defaced serial numbers. 
The charges in the indictment are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s General Crimes Section.  Assistant United States Attorney Katherine P. Onyshko is in charge of the prosecution, with the assistance of Paralegal Specialist Peiyuan Lo.
The Defendants:
YASHIYA LOUISDOR
Age:  23?Brooklyn, New York
ZAIRE ALMAN
Age:  23?Douglasville, Georgia
MARQUES SEALS
Age:  23?Douglasville, Georgia
E.D.N.Y. Docket No. 24-CR-187

Oh back in the days he definitely would've been found with his throat cut. When they were a powerhouse the Chicago Outfit seemed to be one of the most ruthless organizations in the history of organized crime when it came to policing its own members. They had a downright terrifyingly low tolerance for fuck-ups.
