"We have 28 made members of the Chicago Outfit roaming in the Chicagoland area. We have over 100 associates of the Chicago Outfit," Grant said." I take roaming as there are 28 made members on the street. This was said in 2007, so I am sure some are dead, retired,some more being made, and maybe a few the gov't didn't/doesn't know are made. http://nalert.blogspot.com/2007/09/whos-in-charge-of-chicago-mob.html

Found this on Paul Carparelli. I think they want to keep what they confiscated from his house. Quiet a bit of cash and jewelry. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2014cv00015/291407

Copy and paste. For some reason i couldnt link it,srry.

I'm curious as to what's going on with his case...wonder if his lawyers are confident he can beat it.

I'd say they're confident. He's back on the street & was confident enough to open up that pizza joint in Bloomingdale (which is actually pretty damn good by the way).

What's the name of the place?

Capri

I also posted this in the charts thread but what the hell, it can go in two places.

I have been working hard for the last couple of weeks on a chart for the Outfit during the Giancana era, c. 1957-1966. I do not claim 100% that every individual listed on here is made, but I do believe that it is, for the most part, fairly accurate. Additionally, I did not intend to list every made guy or every purported made guy from this time period, only the ones who were the most active and had the highest status, with a higher emphasis placed on activity. I believe I ended up with 75 total, discounting associates. You will also see a little graphic posted with the chart - consider it a "key" of sorts for some of the information contained on the chart.

Some members here, particularly Toodoped and funkster, provided suggestions on additional names as well as various crew and function information. I also put to use FBI files, old Chicago Tribune articles, and available primary and secondary sources, as well as information from this board and others. Ancestry.com was a great help in finding birth dates for some of the lesser known members.

Please feel free to comment or question, after all, this is a message board:

I'm certainly not the best informed on this forum, but I can tell you the top three are consistent with CCC and law enforcement.

Sometime in the early to mid sixties three reporters from the Daily News published the names and pictures of top Outfit members. Here's how the list appeared:

Boss : Sam Giancana

Board of Directors : Tony Accardo, Paul Ricca, Murray Humphreys, Gus Alex, Frank Ferraro and Ross Prio

Dept. Heads : Ralph Pierce, Felix Alderisio, Fiore Buccieri, Jack Cerone, Sam Battaglia ,Frank LaPorte, Charles Nicoletto, Lester Kruse, Rocco Potenza, Charles English and Eddie Vogel.

There is also a brief description of each man's responsibility, e.g., Frank Ferraro - 52, lives in the St. Clair Hotel under the alias "Mr. Frank." He shares a 16 th floor suite with a redhead and a poodle.

Summers he sails Lake Michigan in his $40,000 yacht, the Heleda, and accepts the privileges that come to him as vice commander of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.


I believe a lot of confusion has come about because of the different titles assigned to these men. It seems that everyone who makes a chart comes up with some type "position name" for each person. Not all titles are consistent and many times do not reflect the responsibility of the individual.

More later.

Nice post Snakes. Did you make that one?

Yeah

Great job Snakes, looks good.

Looks great.

Shit that's the youngest picture I've ever seen of Pat Marcy.

great design, clear structure, almost fed-like

very well done snakes

Bravissimo Snakes.Nice pictures by the way

@GaryMartin thats some cool info about Ferraos life style

Very nicely done Snakes.

Getting back to this story, which was the precursor to the Caparelli indictment, wonder who Vito Iozzo is. Sounds like he may be one of the main players in the whole story.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-suburban-sales-exec-among-9-indicted-for-scare-tactics-violence-to-collect-debts-20130725,0,1275092.story

Welp...need to just search the history of threads i've been in ha.

From ChiTown "Anyone in the neighborhood who read that article would recognize the name Iozzo on that indicment. Large family and cousins of the Frattos...they own car dealerships. The elder Vito Iozzo used to run Villa Park before he was kicked out in the late 80s for scandals. They raided a sports bar about 10 years ago in Villa Park (VP Sports Bar?)and he was picked up along with Joe Silva for gambling and coke. He's not a new player, just never identified previously with the Outfit.

Carparelli is related to the Spillone family I believe. Their father was a long-time Outfit guy under Fifi Buccieri. Carparelli's ex wife "Regina" passed away in June. Tough situation for the little boy Paulie Jr. "

finally, a good chart on the outfit from 57 - 66 !! GReat job!

Hey snakes, it appears Joe Fosco has a new post directly addressing your new chart.

Just read it. Pretty interesting of an article.

Good article, nice to see something on Nappi. I had heard about the political stuff and the union stuff in FBI files and old Tribune articles but it was only touched on briefly.

Wow, great article. Best thing I've read on ANP in a LONG time.

This is a follow-up chart to the previous one I posted. It's also a setup for the next chart focusing on the Aiuppa/Cerone era.

From Scott Burnstein on the other board. I can take it down if he doesn't want me cutting and pasting.

Elder statesman stems off friction escalation in ranks of Chicago mafia

Whether it’s an official appointment or not, Chicago mob stalwart Salvatore (Solly D) DeLaurentis is acting in a consigliere capacity these days, with don John (Johnny No Nose) Di Fronzo and his brother and aid-de-camp Peter (Greedy Petey) Di Fronzo, significantly leaning on the 76-year old Lake County capo to ease straining relationships between loyalists to jailed street boss Michael (Fat Mike) Sarno and the rest of The Outfit (local slang for the Windy City mafia).

According to underworld and law enforcement sources, Sarno brought into the fold and possibly inducted a group of Cicero-based hoodlums that have run amok and begun stepping on toes since Fat Mike, 55, was busted on racketeering charges in 2009 and subsequently convicted and sentenced to 25 years
behind bars.

In reaction to this, the Di Fronzo brothers have repeatedly turned to the highly-respected DeLaurentis to smooth things out, which he has successfully done to this point.

The current capo of Cicero is alleged to be James (Jimmy I) Inendino, also called "Jimmy the Ice Pick" for his past use of the murder tool (Jimmy I cut his teeth in the Windy City underworld as part of the bloodthirsty "Wild Bunch," in the 1970s and 80s, deceased Outfit boss Joseph (Joe Nick) Ferriola's enforcement branch)

Some Chicago mob watchers speculate that Marco (The Mover) D’Amico is actually No Nose Di Fronzo’s consigliere, a normal go-to in situations like this, but Solly D was tapped to take care of the problem due to his roots in the Sarno camp.

Sarno and DeLaurentis were nailed together in a 1990 federal racketeering indictment that brought down almost the entire Cicero-headquartered "Good Ship Lollipop" crew ran by Ernest (Rocky) Infelice. That investigation revealed Solly D, sometimes referred to as “Solly the Pizza Man” or the shortened version “Solly Za” for his operation of a pizza joint, was Infelice’s No. 2 in charge, struck fear in many of those he encountered and eerily forecasted the gore-ridden 1985 murder of recalcitrant bookie Hal Smith.

In the months leading up to Smith's heinous death, DeLaurentis was recorded telling him he would be “trunk music” if he didn’t start paying tribute to the mob. Smith’s strangled and mutilated body was indeed found in the trunk of his car in an Arlington Heights parking lot shortly thereafter, done away with by DeLaurentis' men.

“This is Chicago, nobody skates for free, everybody pays,” Solly D was taped telling Smith.

Later that day, he told his wired-for-sound driver William (BJ) Jahoda, “I love my job.”

Because of these factors, DeLaurentis was saddled with more prison time than Sarno; He got out in 2005, opposed to Sarno who was let out in 1999 and was able to rise in the ranks quickly, named to manage the Family’s daily affairs in the wake of his predecessor James (Jimmy the Man) Marcello’s imprisonment nine years ago.

“Made” into the Outfit alongside Rudy (The Chin) Fratto and John (Pudgy) Matassa at a 1988 Father’s Day induction ceremony, DeLaurentis replaced longtime capo Joseph (Black Joe) Amato as racket chief of Lake County, a region north of Chicago that Al (Scarface) Capone originally infiltrated during the Prohibition era.

Upon his release from incarceration, DeLaurentis is reputed to have reassumed his post within the mob in Chicago.

Last year, an alleged underling of his, Paul Carparelli, 45, was arrested for running an extortion ring, taped telling an associate of his in the winter of 2013 that Solly D and one of Solly D's primary lieutenants paid him $10,000 to give a slow-paying debtor of theirs’ “a thorough beating.”

“Solly DeLaurentis is not the type of individual to be trifled with, he’s a capable leader and enforcer and the kind of mobster the bosses in the Outfit appreciate and utilize,” said retired FBI agent (31 years on the job) and dogged Chicago mob pursuer Jim Wagner of Solly D’s reputation.

It's very interesting. Solly D is feared that is for sure. I wonder who the young guys are. Dino Marino was said to be one of the newer guys, whether that was with Marcello or with Sarno, who knows. But I would say he is most likely not causing any problems.

Considering the group his father was with, I would presume Sarno.

I asked Burnstein if he'd heard any names, but he said he had not.
