There is testimony from Siragusa to the a Senate Committee that Detroit and St Louis had the largest heroin pipeline and were selling into NY, for a period of time. Not trying to start a pissing match, but what is debatable?


Do you have a link or source for this statement of his?


Yes. My post on 8/22 has a newspaper article attached reporting on Siragusa's testimony, and my post on 8/25 links to a page written by Scott B.


Thanks. I must have missed it when you posted it. If what Siragusa said was indeed true (they were the chief source of drugs for narcotics peddlers), that's certainly interesting and I stand corrected. However, I still don't see any evidence that this significantly affected the relative power between the NY families. And do we know how long this specific drug ring was in operation?
