The River Run riot was a violent confrontation between the Hells Angels and the Mongols motorcycle gangs that occurred on April 27, 2002, in Laughlin, Nevada during the Laughlin River Run.
Background[edit]
The Mongols were formed in the Los Angeles suburb of Montebello in 1969, reportedly by a group of mostly Hispanic men who had been rejected for membership by the Hells Angels.[6] In 1977, the Hells Angels declared war on the Mongols after Mongols members began wearing a patch reading "California", which the Angels claimed as their own territory. The biker war resulted in the deaths of four Mongols members as well as an innocent fifteen-year-old boy in San Diego and Los Angeles counties that year.[7] The Hells Angels suffered their first casualty in the conflict when Raymond "Fat Ray" Piltz, sergeant-at-arms of the club's San Diego chapter, was shot dead in a biker bar in Lemon Grove on January 17, 1982.[8] A truce was ultimately made between the Hells Angels and the Mongols, with the Angels ceding southern California to the Mongols.[9][10] The feud was reactivated when 50 to 100 members of the rival clubs clashed at a motorcycle trade show in Long Beach on February 10, 1989, resulting in San Bernardino Hells Angels chapter sergeant-at-arms Aristeo Andres "Art" Carbajal being stabbed to death and several others wounded.[11][12]
The River Run riot was the culmination of tensions between the clubs which began increasing when the Mongols expanded into the Hells Angels stronghold of northern California.[10] To compete with the larger Hells Angels, the Mongols bolstered their ranks by recruiting members of Sureño gangs.[13]
The riot[edit]
Between 50,000 and 80,000 motorcycle enthusiasts attended the 20th annual edition of the Laughlin River Run, held in Laughlin, Nevada.
http://edition.cnn.com/2002/US/04/28/casino.shooting/
Robert "Festus" Tumelty, president of the Hells Angels' California Nomads chapter in Stockton[17][18]
The conflict began when members of the Hells Angels went to Harrah's Laughlin to confront members of the Mongols who had allegedly harassed vendors that sold Hells Angels related merchandise. Mongol Anthony Barrera, 43, was stabbed to death, and two Hells Angels, Jeramie Bell, 27, and Robert Tumelty, 50, were shot to death.[19]
This was the first time that there were multiple murders in a Nevada casino.[20]

Aftermath[edit]
Six Hells Angels and six Mongols were imprisoned as a result of the event, and 36 other people had their charges dismissed.[23] Frederick Donahue, one of the Hells Angels indicted after the incident, evaded capture for six years before surrendering in July 2008.[23]

Joseph George Sullivan (March 31, 1939 – June 9, 2017), nicknamed "Mad Dog", was an Irish-American
The second eldest of six children, and a third generation Irish-American, Joseph George Sullivan was born in Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York. He adopted John as a confirmation name.[107] When Sullivan was 13 years old, his father, a New York City Police Department (NYPD) detective at the 79th Precinct in Brooklyn, died aged 36 in 1952. Because his father was a few years short of eligibility, his mother never received a pension. An impoverished widow, she turned to alcoholism.[108]

Carolinas[edit]
During the 1970s and the 1980s, Charlotte, North Carolina was one of the few cities in the United States to host chapters of several competing motorcycle gangs; the Hells Angels, the Pagans, and the Outlaws, as well as several homegrown outlaw clubs. Of these regional gangs, the Tar Heel Stompers, in particular, became powerful locally and developed a reputation for viciousness that rivalled the other major clubs in the area.[52]

controlled a crew of approximately twenty associates who engaged in wholesale murder, stolen cars, narcotics, prostitution and pornography.[61]
The Harem Spa in Bricktown later became Spa 88, a gay bathhouse. In April 1983, the building occupied by Spa 88 and three other sex-orientated businesses was raided by the New Jersey State Police Organized Crime Bureau, and eighteen people were indicted as part of Operation Whisper, a three-year investigation into organized crime in Ocean County. The indictment alleged that the premises, which housed a scenario of massage parlors and one adult book store, was utilized as a front for prostitution and drug distribution beginning in August 1975. State police organized crime detectives began investigating the ownership of the Harem in July 1980.[61] The Harem had previously been the subject of a raid in late 1981, when eight female prostitutes, two of whom were sixteen years old, and six male clients were arrested. Another raid on the Show Land Adult Bookstore, located on the property, in January 1982 also resulted in three women being arrested and charged with prostitution.[62]

Bent Svane Nielsen (born 22 July 1958), also known as "Blondie", is a Danish outlaw biker and gangster who served as the president of the Denmark Nomads chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
Hells Angels[edit]
Nielsen became an outlaw biker in 1975, when he joined the Nørrebro-based Dirty Angels Motorcycle Club. In 1977, the Dirty Angels merged with three other clubs, the Galloping Goose of Nørrebro, the Nomads from Gladsaxe and the Iron Skulls in Greve, to form the Unionen MC, which established its headquarters on Titangade, Nørrebro.[2] The Unionen became a "hangaround" club of the Hells Angels after Nielsen formed an alliance with Willem van Boxtel, the leader of the Angels' Amsterdam chapter.[3] In 1979, the Unionen applied for Hells Angels membership, contacting the German Angels via the club's Dutch faction, and began serving as "prospect" members. Following visits by officers of the Oakland and Hamburg chapters, the Unionen was granted its colours by the Zürich Hells Angels on 31 December 1980, "patching over" to become the Copenhagen "Viking" chapter, the first Hells Angels branch in Scandinavia.[2][4]
In 1983, the Hells Angels became involved in a conflict with the Bullshit biker club, an amalgamation of two Amager gangs which refused to join the Angels and which controlled much of the drug trade in Christiania.[5] On the night of 24 September 1983, three Bullshit members and a female acquaintance entered the restaurant Søpromenaden on Søgade in Østerbro, which was considered Hells Angels territory. Nielsen was alerted to the rival bikers' whereabouts when he received a telephone tipoff from a barman at Søpromenaden, and he and three other Hells Angels stormed the restaurant, armed with knives and bottles.[6] Two Bullshit members, Steen Grabow Grander and Flemming Hald Jensen, were killed, while a third, Michael Peter Enoch, was seriously injured. The woman escaped unharmed and immediately took a taxi to the Bullshit's Amager headquarters. Seven armed Bullshit bikers were then arrested by police as they travelled to Søpromenaden seeking retaliation. Several Hells Angels and Bullshit members, including Nielsen, were arrested as remanded in custody as police detectives investigated the double homicide. On 21 September 1984, Nielsen was sentenced to sixteen years in prison after being convicted at the Eastern High Court of the murders of Grander and Jensen. Two other Hells Angels, Henrik Kruse Jensen and Hansi Hansen, were sentenced to five years' and four years' imprisonment, respectively, for complicity in the killings.[7]
Nielsen was paroled from prison in 1994.[7][8] At the time, the Hells Angels were at war with the Bandidos
Nomads chapter founded on 28 August 1996[9]
By 2003, Nielsen was the de facto leader of the Hells Angels in Denmark.[8] He became involved in his third gang war when a conflict broke out between the Hells Angels and immigrant gangs in August 2008.[10]

Walter Burnside Norval (8 February 1928 – 23 August 2014) was a Scottish gangster. Known as Glasgow's "original Godfather", Norval was the leader of the XYY Gang and is considered the city's first crime boss.
Early life[edit]
Norval was born on Ferguson Street in north Glasgow's Possilpark area on 8 February 1928, the son of Protestant mother Eva, who operated a room-and-kitchen renting enterprise, and Catholic father Archie, a businessman who gave up his religion upon marriage. He had two sisters and an older brother, Billy, who was killed when he was hit by a Glasgow Corporation bus on Renfrew Street in the city centre when Walter was months old. One of his grandmothers was English.[1] Norval was raised in a top-floor tenement flat above the Garscube Bar on nearby Garscube Road, which was commonly known as the High Road by locals and was not considered a part of Maryhill as it is today.[2] The location of dozens of pubs, fish and chip shops, grocers, wine shops, pawnbrokers, brothels, dance halls, snooker parlors and nightclubs, the area was also a hub of street bookies, gangs and alcohol-related violence.[3] Other social problems included substandard housing, overcrowding, unemployment and poverty, although Norval remembered the area as a tight-knit working-class community.[4] He would spend over seventy years of his life, when not in prison, living in the area.[3] Norval grew up in an era during which City of Glasgow Police chief constable Percy Sillitoe described the city as being overrun with razor gangs engaging in open conflict and terrorising ordinary citizens. Silltoe was largely credited with vanquishing Glasgow's interwar period gangs by assembling a squad of hardened police officers nicknamed "the Untouchables" to track and disperse the mobs by violent means.[5]
Although Norval considered himself Protestant, he was a supporter of Celtic F.C., a football club more commonly associated with Glasgow's Irish Catholic community.[6] As a child, he and his father would travel the country watching Celtic's away matches.[7] During these trips, Norval would often be taken into pubs and clubs by his father, where he would recite a song written in rememberence of Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson, who was killed in an Old Firm match on 5 September 1931.[8] With his mother and father both constantly absent from home, Norval was a latchkey kid, commonly going without parental supervision and spending most of his formative years fending for himself. His commercial traveller father frequently spent long periods of time representing his confectionary firm Todd, Cunningham & Petrie around shops in Troon, Largs and the Firth of Clyde holiday resorts, while his mother was kept busy with her room rental business, which she had started using a modest sum of money paid in compensation by the city after the death of her son Billy, or spending long spells working as a waitress down the Ayrshire coast during the summer holidays.[9] Norval stole for survival from shops, banks and businesses. Although he never felt remorse for his thefts from commercial properties, Norval claims to have never burgled or stole from neighbors or dwellings.[10] He was largely denied schooling due to his criminal exploits,[11] and was well known to local police.[12] From the age of six or seven, Norval became a regular spectator of open air bare-knuckle fights held on waste ground on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal on Sunday afternoons, where men would settle disputes with a one-on-one "square jig" in front of crowds of up to thirty people.[13] At the age of eight, he and a friend began working for a coalman, delivering briquettes. After an incident in Partick in which the coalman refused to pay the boys' wages, Norval and his friend hatched a plot to get revenge on the coalman. The following Saturday, the boys rose early in the morning and visited every house where they remembered the coalman had given coal or briquettes on consignment, having agreed that the money would be collected on Saturday. Norval and his friend made a considerable amount of money by misrepresenting themselves as acting on behalf of the coalman. The two youngsters then went into hiding as it would be a number of weeks before they could return to the streets in safety.[14]
Norval became the leader of a gang of young thieves known as the Wee Mob, who carried out smash and grab robberies of shops and businesses in the Garscube Road area, selling stolen goods onto local bookies and spivs.[15] As he accumulated money, Norval spent freely on his friends and earned the nickname "Kid Millions".[2] During World War II, he was among the school-aged Glasgow children evacuated to the village of Lochgoilhead in Argyll, where his mother owned a cottage, to escape the bombing of Clydeside industrial sites by the Luftwaffe. Continuing his delinquent behaviour, Norval was eventually banished from Lochgoilhead after a series of incidents, including throwing a brick through a window of a local school he had been sent to.[16] Shortly after Walter's return to Glasgow aged twelve or thirteen, his father Archie died suddenly from cancer, leaving the boy with virtually no parental guidance.[17] He was taken under the wing of two local hoodlums, John Foy and Joe O'Hara, who were known as the "Kings of the Garscube Road". Foy, in particular, observed the criminal exploits of Norval and his gang with interest.[18] Using the wartime blackouts to their advantage, the Wee Mob stole lucrative rationed commodities such as tea and sugar from shops and warehouses for sale on the black market.[19] Norval was also introduced to the gambling scene through a pitch-and-toss school in Sighthill operated by Foy and O'Hara,[18] and he spent his weekends gang fighting at dance halls and in the street.[20] He reportedly styled himself after John Dillinger after seeing the 1945 film Dillinger at the Phoenix, a local fleapit cinema, as a teenager.[21][19][22]
Criminal career[edit]
Early crimes and military service[edit]
Seeking greater spoils than could be taken from local businesses, the Wee Mob began carrying out late-night burglaries in Glasgow city centre. The gang's first criminal venture outside of the Garscube Road area was a raid on an office block on Hope Street, near Glasgow Central station.[23] Specialising in breaking and entering, and often benefitting from tip-offs from insiders, Norval and his associates initially enlisted the help of a safe blower to open premises' safes using explosives. On occasions when the peterman's services were unavailable, the gang would utilize sledgehammers and cutters to retrieve the loot.[24] Graduating to armed robbery, Norval and fellow Wee Mob member John Harris brandished an imitation firearm during the theft of cash and cigarettes from a city centre tobacconist shop on 7 December 1945. The pair were later arrested for the robbery, however, as they were recognised by a girl working in the shop.[25] After being held at HM Prison Barlinnie for several weeks, Norval was convicted of the robbery at the High Court in Edinburgh and sentenced to serve three years in borstal.[26] He was a frequent troublemaker at Polmont and was occasionally punished with solitary confinement, food restrictions and beatings from guards.[27] Norval garnered status in the borstal and built a reputation for his fighting prowess.[28] He also excelled at football, playing for a squad of Polmont inmates against amateur teams from nearby Falkirk.[29]
The borstal system did little to rehabilitate Norval and he returned to the Garscube Road eager to continue his life of crime.[30] Upon his release from Polmont, Norval was conscripted into the British Army for a mandatory two years of service, although he absconded after passing a military medical examination in Edinburgh. He was apprehended by the Royal Military Police while visiting the home of his mother Eva.[31] While Walter was in borstal, Eva Norval had begun a relationship with Josef "Joe the Pole" Kotarba, a notorious pimp and brothel keeper who, like many Polish former soldiers, settled in Scotland after World War II.[32] Kotarba had, at one point, fought on the side of the Axis powers in the war and could not risk returning to Poland as the communist regime kept records of Poles who had assisted the Germans.[33] Norval suspected that his mother turned him in to the police in order to get rid of him after he began making threats towards Kotarba, who he believed was only interested in Eva's wealth.[34] After spending ten days at Maryhill Barracks, Norval was posted to Catterick Garrison in Richmond, Yorkshire, where he was intended to be assigned to the Green Howards regiment following an initial six weeks of training. Disgruntled with the military regime, which he found similar to that of borstal, he left the garrison after a week and retuned to Glasgow by train.[35] Rearrested a month later, he was posted to Hilsea Barracks in Portsmouth before again fleeing to Scotland.[36] While absent without leave, Norval married Ina McCormick, a niece of prominent local bare knuckle fighter John "the Bull" McCormick, at Glasgow's Martha Street registry office on 2 September 1947.[37] He and his wife lived in rented accommodation on High Craighall Road and later Eagle Street in Port Dundas.[38]
Norval was eventually detained, court-martialed in Aldershot, and imprisoned at the Military Corrective Training Centre in Colchester for three months in 1948. He again rebelled against the prison regime and often found himself confined to a dank and malodourous punishment cell, before he was sent to Bramley in Kent. When he was relocated again, to Donnington in the north of England, serial deserter Norval altered the destination on a railway pass he had been given to transport himself from London, and he instead arrived at Central station in Glasgow, where he continued to make a living by selling stolen property on the black market.[39] He was sent back to Barlinnie on remand along with associate Dunky Bathgate after the pair were spotted by police wearing suits stolen in a major raid on a big-name tailor's shop in the city centre, while drinking in a tavern on Hogmanay. Norval pleaded guilty before Glasgow Sheriff Boyd Berry, nicknamed "the Borstal King" because of his strong advocacy of imprisonment for young offenders, while Bathgate pleaded not guilty. Norval was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and Bathgate to six months'. After serving his sentence, he was taken by an Army corporal and three armed soldiers in a jeep to Central station and then sent to Donnington.[40] Norval and another prisoner, "Gypsy" Blundred, made it to Wolverhampton after twelve miles on foot following their escape from the camp. The two men joined up with a funfair that Blundred had worked for, but Norval and Blundred were arrested after a police raid on the fair. He was frequently involved in vicious fights at Donnington due to his temperament, and in one incident attacked and slashed a sergeant hated at the camp for his bullying of young soldiers.[41] Afterwards, Norval set fire to his mattress and it took a squad of soldiers, led by a captain in the medical core, to quell the one-man mutiny. He planned to get himself expelled from the military as his mentors John Foy and Joe O'Hara had done, by a planned operation of fighting and causing as much trouble as possible. Norval called off a hunger strike after he was repeatedly force fed by the Army.[42] He then began feigning madness in an effort to regain his freedom, and the efforts to assess his mental fitness convinced the medical corps captain that Norval's violent and conscienceless behaviour was a result of his lonely and unloved childhood.[43] Despite initial attempts to keep him in general population, Norval was later held in solitary confinement after another prisoner, who in attempt to avoid transfer, slashed his own wrists with a knife which he then hid under a sleeping Norval's bed. He became known as "the Mad Scotsman" by inhabitants of the nearby village after they observed him toiling in a vegetable garden during his daily one-hour exercise time.[44] The attack on the sergeant resulted in a full-scale court-martial for Norval, a sentence of eighteen months' hard labour in the glasshouse at HM Prison Shepton Mallet, and an ignominious discharge. His discharge papers informed him that, should he ever attempt to rejoin the armed forces or the merchant navy, he would be liable to two years in prison.[45] Norval spent just nineteen days as an ordinary soldier; the rest of his time in the military was spent on the run or in jail.[35]
Attempted murder conviction[edit]
Back in Glasgow, Norval and his wife Ina moved into his mother Eva's former tenement home on the Garscube Road, while Eva Norval and her partner Josef Kotarba moved into a flat she owned on nearby Ashley Street. Norval's career in crime prospered as he became involved in illegal alcohol operations. Developing contacts in whisky bonds and distilleries, and among railwaymen who had access to shipments of alcohol, he sold contraband alcohol – whisky, in particular – onto a network of pub owners and barmen.[46] Norval bought a holiday hut in Seton Sands, where he would spend weekends with his family, and became partners in an illegal betting ring with a local bookie. He also directed bookmaking activity at racecourses across the Central Belt, at Ayr, Hamilton, Lanark, Musselburgh and other locations.[47]
By the mid-1950s, Norval was supervising his mother's flat rental enterprise, collecting rents from lodgers. Police began raiding the flats in a search for Kotarba, who was a suspect in the murder of Janet Davidson, a prostitute with whom Kotarba was having an affair. In an effort to stop the continual searches of the flats, Norval contacted associates on the east coast, who located Kotarba in Musselburgh. After being taken to Glasgow's Northern Police Office by Norval, Kotarba and another Pole, Tony Kobuchiac, were questioned over Davidson's murder, but were ultimately released due to a lack of evidence. Eva Norval ended her relationship with Kotarba, and he moved into a flat on West End Park Street in Woodlands, where he operated a brothel. Weeks later, a young woman was found dead in Kotarba's flat; he claimed she was killed by a client, and he again escaped prosecution.[48]
Norval briefly earned a living via lawful means, working as a clerk for the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board. His time in legitimate employment came to an end, however, after he was seriously injured when he was hit by a small train and crushed against a rock wall while working in a tunnel at the Rest and be Thankful mountain pass. Norval took four months to recover after undergoing life-saving surgery at the Western Infirmary, where he had his spleen removed.[49] Abandoning the job, he took up loansharking.[50] Norval and an acquaintance were arrested by police in a brothel owned by Kotarba on West End Park Street, where they had taken refuge after assaulting a taxi driver who Norval had earlier seen beating an old man outside the Jungle Bar in Cowcaddens. Despite evidence given by a policeman at trial, Norval's case ended in a not proven verdict. His associate was convicted of breach of the peace and fined.[51] Norval was later invited to appear, as an expert on prison life, on an Scottish Television currents affairs program hosted by Bill Tennant to discuss an outbreak of prison stabbings at the time. He was paid £40 for the appearance – £10 per minute of a four-minute segment.[52]
In 1963, Norval became involved in a feud, which came to be known as the "War of Norval's Ear", with Michael "Big Mick" Gibson, a racketeer from Glasgow's East End. The conflict began as a backstreet brawl following a party at Norval's residence, in which Norval attempted to blind Gibson with a knife, succeeding only in cutting him below one eye and above the other. Gibson, in turn, bit off part of Norval's left ear before the pair were separated by neighbours. The following month, Norval was playing dominoes in the Garscube Bar with two associates when he was informed that Gibson was in Fallon's pub on the same street with three of his friends. The East End gang were reportedly armed with knives and were looking to kill Norval in order to take over his Garscube Road territory. Norval armed himself with a knife and stormed Fallon's pub, stabbing Gibson eight times before challenging his three associates, who backed down. Gibson survived the attack; his heart stopped while in an ambulance on the way to hospital, where he underwent a five-hour operation, and he had to be resuscitated. Both men went into hiding afterwards, with Norval taking up residency in Townhead.[53] He contacted lawyer Joe Beltrami and arranged to surrender to police at midnight the following Sunday. The pair arrived at the Northern Police Office, Norval via the Glasgow Subway and Beltrami in a white Mercedes-Benz followed by two newspaper crime reporters. Norval showed a complete lack of remorse for his actions, and he demonstrated his sense of humour when asked for a statement by a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officer at the police station, responding: "You are a dead ringer for Gordon Smith who plays for Hibs and Scotland".[54] At the resultant court trial, at the Glasgow High Court in March 1964, Norval was convicted of the attempted murder of Gibson. Norval's defender, Nicholas Fairbairn QC, in a "remarkable" effort, secured his client a three-year sentence.[55] An associate of Norval, Dunky White, was also sentenced to three years' imprisonment for acting as an accomplice. During the trial, the wife of one of Gibson's friends testified that she had heard her husband, Gibson, and a third man who did not feature in the trial planning to kill Norval.[56]
four children, Archie, Rita, Gerald and Lynn.[57]
Following Norval's imprisonment, traditional rackets in Glasgow such as armed robbery dwindled, while the drug trade rose in prominence as it became the main interest of the gang bosses who succeeded him atop the city's underworld.[64] The heroin kingpin Arthur Thompson is perceived by the public, police and crime writers to be the successor to Norval as the city's "godfather".[65]

Richard Foronjy (born August 3, 1937) is an American former film and television actor.
Biography[edit]
One of five brothers, Foronjy was raised in Flatlands, Brooklyn and began his acting career after serving an eight-year prison sentence for an armed robbery conviction. He served his sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility as well as other institutions in upstate New York, and learned two trades – butchery and acting – while in prison.[8] His younger brother Frank was at one time best friends with gangster Roy DeMeo.[9] In a 1986 New York Daily News interview, Foronjy stated "Life in prison was a battle; then when I got out, I had to battle the bullies in the old neighborhood, then I had to move and had to battle the loneliness".[10]

Social problems[edit]
Milton has been plagued by urban decay for decades, with social problems partially caused the lack of facilities and few opportunities for entertainment in the area, such as drug abuse and gang fighting, first emerging in the late 1960s. With no factory/industrial work in the area and most community amenities which could offer employment such as shops or pubs required travel by car or public transport
Milton was plagued by high rates of unemployment until the late 1980s.
The area has also seen significant organised crime activity, including numerous gangland killings.[2][3]

Gilhooly underwent a craniotomy and suffered from epilepsy after being shot in the head.[6]
On 18 July 2012, Gilhooly was treated by paramedics after collapsing outside The Palm Too steakhouse in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. He had reportedly been drinking in a nearby bar earlier, and was escorted from the restaurant due to being inebriated, dropping UN documents in his possession on the restaurant floor and in the street outside. Gilhooly later denied being drunk, explaining that his condition was a result of his epilepsy.[6]
Death[edit]
Gilhooly was based in China in the final year of his life, working on the Digital Health Network with the World Health Organization alongside the GIO and TM Forum. He died in Beijing on 18 December 2020 after a short illness.[4][5]

Past members[edit]
Charles Alaimo[edit]
Charles Joseph Alaimo (March 10, 1942 – April 1, 2016),[1][2] also known as "Charles Wings", "Nathaniel Herman", "Charlie Wino", "Charlie King", "Charles Alarimo" and "Charles Allimo", was a soldier in the Florida faction. A frequenter of Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and New York, Alaimo was a major financier and distributor of heroin, and was also involved in the trucking and auto rental businesses.[3] Additionally, he had been arrested for burglary, and was once held as a material witness in the murder of a friend.[4]
Alaimo was a member of a Mexico–New York heroin trafficking network initially headed by Carmine and Francis Consalvo. According to authorities, Alaimo obtained Mexican black tar heroin via Los Angeles-based Gambino soldier Salvatore Pisello. His other associates in the drug trade included fellow Gambino family members Vincent Beltempo, Edward Lino and Joseph Stassi, and Lucchese family member Charles DiPalermo. Alaimo and DiPalermo were also involved in business ventures together in Florida. Alaimo reportedly took over the heroin ring following the deaths of the Consalvo brothers in 1975.[4]
A resident of Parkland, Alaimo died at the age of 74 on April 1, 2016.[5]

Gaetano Altamura[edit]
Gaetano "Thomas" Altamura (November 3, 1913 – October 31, 1967), nicknamed "Tommy A" and "the Enforcer", was a Miami-based Gambino crime family soldier.[13] The second of nine children, he was born in New York City to a Taranto-born father and a Sicilian mother, and raised in Corona, Queens. Altamura worked in his father's tailor shop and also held truck driving and sales jobs before embarking on a career in organized crime.[14] His criminal record began 1931. As a minor, he was acquitted of automobile theft and sentenced to probation for unlawful entry after the burglary of a speakeasy in the Bronx.[15] In April 1932, Altamura was sentenced to three-to-six years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree robbery. Along with accomplice Peter Nastasi, he was initially charged with first-degree robbery, petit larceny and second-degree assault after holding up the owner of a grocery store in Corona. Shortly after his release from prison in 1936, Altamura was convicted of another robbery in the Bronx and sentenced to ten-to-twenty years' imprisonment.[16] While on parole, he was charged with the attempted robbery of a tavern in Jackson Heights, Queens in July 1944. He and two other men entered the tavern after hours but became frightened and fled during the attempted robbery. Altamura reportedly dropped his wallet on the way out of the tavern.[17]
Circa 1956, Altamura relocated to south Florida where he owned a restaurant in Miami Beach and supervised a loansharking operation.[18] He was also associated with the Trafficante crime family in Florida.[19] Gambino family member and informant Alfredo Santantonio reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that Altamura and Joseph Indelicato were responsible for the murder of caporegime Armand "Tommy" Rava, who disappeared in 1958, on the orders of Carlo Gambino. Rava was vying with Gambino for leadership of the family following the murder of Albert Anastasia.[20] According to Santantonio, Rava was killed with an icepick at a Florida funeral parlor and his corpse was disposed of near the Tamiami Trail.[21] Altamura was also a suspect in the July 2, 1958 shotgun murder of bolita operator Joe "Pelusa" Diaz in Tampa.[22] Altamura was identified as the shooter but avoided conviction when prosecutors determined that the witness' partial identification was insufficient. Authorities believe that Altamura carried out the killing on the orders of local crime boss Santo Trafficante Jr..[23] Additionally, he was among the suspects in the murder of Miami bookmaker and loanshark Louis "Babe" Silvers, who disappeared on January 24, 1960 and whose partial remains were discovered on April 9, 1961.[24]
Altamura was killed in a bar in North Bay Village on October 31, 1967 after being shot five times with a .38 caliber pistol by Bonanno crime family associate Anthony Esperti in a dispute of racket territories.[25] Esperti was indicted for Altamura's murder in January 1968, and his first trial in Miami in March 1968 resulted in a hung jury.[26][27] Esperti was convicted after a retrial in Bartow in November 1971.[28]
Agostino Amato[edit]
Agostino Anthony "Augie" Amato (October 26, 1901 – February 1980) was a Gambino crime family caporegime in Florida.[29] Born in Alessandria della Rocca, Sicily, Amato became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1927 and later relocated to Florida after residing in Brooklyn. He was the father of Frank and Vincent Amato, both of whom were also "made men" in the family. In Florida, Amato and his sons were involved in loansharking and a Miami jukebox-vending machine business. They were also associated with the Trafficante crime family.[30] Agostino Amato died at the age of 79 in February 1980.[11]
Vincent Amato[edit]
Vincent James Amato (May 5, 1927 – December 15, 1991) was a Gambino crime family soldier in Florida and an associate of the Trafficante crime family.[1] He was the son of Agostino Amato and brother of Frank Amato, both of whom were also Gambino "made men". Along with his brother and father, Amato was involved in loansharking and jukebox/vending machine rackets in Miami.[30] Vincent Amato died aged 64 on December 15, 1991.[11]

Giuseppe Arcuri[edit]
Giuseppe T. "Joseph" Arcuri (September 22, 1913 – November 27, 2007),[1] nicknamed "Joe T", was a Gambino crime family caporegime in Manhattan.[31] Arcuri – the uncle of Joseph and Salvatore Franco – operated a liquor store and a social club on Manhattan's Upper East Side and became a "made man" in the 1950s under the Albert Anastasia regime.[32] He was subsequently promoted to capo by Anastasia's successor Carlo Gambino and was involved in bookmaking, loansharking and labor racketeering.[33] He controlled two labor unions that represented highway and road paving workers. Although a low-key operator, Arcuri was identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as one of 21 Gambino family captains in 1991.[34] During the legal troubles and eventual imprisonment of boss John Gotti in the 1990s, Arcuri organized meetings of the family's ruling committee and liaised with representatives of other families. He was identified as both the underboss and the consigliere during this period. Arcuri resumed his position of captain when Peter Gotti became acting boss in 1999.[35] He retired having never served a prison sentence and died of natural causes aged 94 on November 27, 2007.[36][37]

Joseph Armone[edit]
Stephen Armone[edit]
Vincent Artuso[edit]
Vincent F. "Little Vinny Dirtbag" Artuso (July 31, 1944 – August 2021)[1] was a caporegime in the Florida faction. Originally a Bronx-based drug trafficker, Artuso was among the targets of a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation that began in early 1978 when Kenneth Wedra, a convicted murderer serving a sentence of 25 years-to-life in a New York state prison, agreed to serve as a registered confidential informant for the DEA in return for promises of protection and assistance when he came before state parole authorities. Kenneth Wedra's wife, Marie, also provided information to federal agent Ray Magno, who was conducting an undercover investigation of narcotics trafficking in the Bronx, where the Wedras were long-time residents. With Kenneth Wedra's utility limited due to his incarceration, he and Magno agreed to use Kenneth's drug dealer brother, Bradford, as an intermediary to unwittingly introduce the agent to the targets of the investigation. Artuso was first introduced to Magno via Bradford Wedra on May 24, 1978, and numerous purchases of heroin and cocaine were agreed in the following months. The investigation concluded when arrests were effected on September 8, 1978. Artuso and Bradford Wedra were each convicted on July 3, 1979 of two counts of conspiracy to violate the federal narcotics laws and one substantive count of distributing cocaine.[38]
Through his association with Frank LoCascio, Artuso became an underling of John Gotti, the captain of a crew headquartered at the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club in Ozone Park, Queens, and helped propel Gotti to the position of boss of the Gambino family via a coup d'état against his predecessor, Paul Castellano.[39] Disillusioned with Castellano's leadership, and fearing assassination for breaching the Mafia's rule against drug dealing, Gotti and his collaborators spent ten months planning Castellano's murder.[40] According to testimony from mobster-turned-government witness Sammy Gravano, Artuso and three others – John Carneglia, Edward Lino and Salvatore Scala – were the designated shooters in the killings of Castellano and his underboss, Thomas Bilotti, outside Sparks Steak House in Midtown Manhattan on December 16, 1985.[41][42] Artuso's gun jammed during the ambush, however, and it was Carneglia who killed Castellano, the pair's designated target.[43] Nonetheless, Artuso was promoted to a made man for his role in the shootings. Of the ten men allegedly involved in the hit on Castellano and Bilotti, only Gotti was charged – and convicted – with the murders.[44]
In 1990, Artuso was captured in surveillance photographs meeting with actor David Proval on Arthur Avenue in Belmont, the Bronx.[45]
After serving a two-year prison sentence for violating parole on his previous drug conviction, Artuso was released on December 19, 1995. He subsequently relocated from New York to Palm Beach, Florida, where he later became the capo of the family's South Florida crew.[44] Artuso was among six men indicted by a Fort Lauderdale grand jury on racketeering, mail and wire fraud, and money laundering charges on January 22, 2008.[46] According to the indictment, he supervised and directed members of an enterprise in the commission of various frauds against numerous individuals and against and against a Boca Raton security firm. The other defendants in the case, including Artuso's son John Vincent Artuso, were described by prosecutors as nonmember associates of the Gambino family. Former mob associate and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant Lewis Kasman provided testimony against Artuso during the trial.[47] Another of the accused, William Larry Horton, pled guilty and also cooperated with the prosecution. On October 3, 2008, Artuso, his son, Gregory Orr and Philip Edward Forgione were convicted of 41 separate charges, including Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act conspiracy.[48] Artuso was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment ordered to pay $6 million in restitution on December 15, 2008.[49] Appealing his conviction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on July 27, 2011, Artuso claimed that evidence used to convict him was insufficient and that the trial was tainted by a biased juror.[50][51] He was released from custody on September 13, 2016.[52]
It was reported by organized crime writer Jerry Capeci in August 2021 that Artuso had died of bone cancer at the age of 76.[53]

Aurello retired following the assassination of boss Paul Castellano in December 1985, and Gravano succeeded him as the crew's captain.[54] He died at the age of eighty-three on February 22, 1998.[11]

McKee CTE High School and later became an operating engineer. After his younger brother Thomas was killed along with boss Paul Castellano on orders from John Gotti on December 16, 1985, Gotti became concerned that Joseph Bilotti may seek to avenge his brother's death and dispatched Sammy Gravano to meet with him. Within days of the Castellano–Bilotti murders, Joseph Bilotti had a sitdown with Gravano at a diner in South Beach, Staten Island and agreed not to retaliate. In August 1991, Bilotti was one of five people linked to the Gambino family indicted on loansharking and extortion charges.[62] He was convicted and sentenced to forty-one months in prison.[63] Bilotti was relatively inactive in his later years but he did represent the Gambino family in a meeting with Philadelphia family mobster George Borgesi in Boca Raton, Florida, where he owned a winter home, in February 2016.[64] He died of natural causes on December 27, 2016 at the age of eighty-three.[65]

Robert Bisaccia[edit]
Robert Emilio Bisaccia (April 17, 1935 – November 30, 2008), also known as Bobby Cabert and Bob Romano, was a caporegime in the New Jersey faction.[66] Raised in the Silver Lake section of Belleville, New Jersey, Bisaccia's criminal record began in 1958 and he became a Gambino family associate during the Carlo Gambino regime in the 1970s through Vincent DiModica. Bisaccia and Louis Fulco pleaded guilty on March 7, 1975 to violating the rights of Robert L. Chavers, a black man who was beaten at a diner in the North Ward of Newark on September 30, 1972. Chavers was assaulted in an effort to intimidate the diner's owners, who owed heavy gambling debts, and also because Bisaccia and Fulco did not want black people in the diner.[67] Charges against a third defendant in the trial, Nicholas Stefanelli, were dismissed, while Samuel Corsaro was acquitted at an earlier trial.[68] Bisaccia became a made man in 1977. On February 1, 1978, he was convicted of extorting, attempting to use a gun against and maliciously damaging the car of Dr. Gerald F. Wolfe, a Seaside Park, New Jersey doctor.[69]
Authorities believe Bisaccia was promoted to captain of the Newark-based New Jersey crew by boss John Gotti in 1987. As capo, he oversaw the crew's gambling, loansharking, drugs and labor union rackets.[70] Bisaccia was part of a five-man hit team that murdered Gambino associate Francesco Oliveri in Astoria, Queens on May 3, 1988. Oliveri was killed at captain John Gambino's request for his involvement in the murder of Giuseppe Gambino, a member of John Gambino's crew. John Gotti approved the murder of Oliveri and selected Sammy Gravano to supervise it. Underboss-turned-government witness Gravano later testified that Gotti designated Bisccia as the shooter in the hit.[71]
Bisaccia was among ten members of the Jersey crew indicted on racketeering charges in August 1988. They were charged with conspiring to burglarize the northern offices of the New Jersey Attorney General's Organized Crime Task Force and destroy evidence against the crew by setting the building on fire.[72] Bisaccia and five members of his crew were convicted of racketeering on March 5, 1993.[73][74] He was sentenced to forty years in prison, which was later reduced to sixteen upon appeal.[75] In April 1993, he was further indicted for the killing of Oliveri as a result of the testimony of Sammy Gravano. He was convicted of murder and conspiracy to murder on November 27, 1993 and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in June 1995.[76] After serving his sentence on the racketeering conviction in New Jersey State Prison, Bisaccia was transferred to the federal correctional system and spent his final years at prisons in Pennsylvania and Virginia before being sent to a prison hospital in Butner, North Carolina, where he died of cancer aged seventy-three on November 30, 2008. Actor Joe Pesci reputedly based his performance in the film Goodfellas on Bisaccia, a childhood friend of his.[77]

Bisogno was found shot to death in the trunk of a rented car in the Bronx on August 13, 1969. Police estimated he was killed approximately two weeks prior. At the time of his death, he was on bail for a counterfeiting charge in Florida after being arrested in an undercover sting by Secret Service agents.[79][80]

Michael Caiazzo[edit]
Michael "Mike Tally" Caiazzo (January 26 26, 1911 – April 28, 1994)[1] was a caporegime of the Mulberry Street Crew who was expelled from the family after breaching protocol by appointing an acting capo of the crew without consulting with underboss Aniello Dellacroce. Caiazza named Joseph LaForte, Jr. as his acting captain ahead of a visit to hospital for treatment, before which he took counsel directly from boss Paul Castellano, disrespecting Dellacroce's position in the family. Caiazza had been named by Dellacroce some years earlier as the captain of the crew. The meeting at Dellacroce's home in which Caizza was informed of his expulsion on June 3, 1985 was recorded by electronic listening devices planted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[81]

The crew's victims were allegedly rivals, disloyal associates, suspected police informants and potential prosecution witnesses.[83] Campisi pleaded guilty on January 15, 1975 to conspiracy to receive, conceal and possess securities stolen from the mail and he was sentenced to five years in state prison on June 9, 1975.[84] After being released from prison in 1979, he became a made man in the Gambino family in 1981 and was a member of Frank Perrone's crew. Campisi was found shot dead in the trunk of his wife's car in Manhattan in July 1983 shortly after he and Genovese mobster Albert Manzo had reportedly skimmed money from a Mafia-connected casino on Staten Island.[85] Manzo was found killed in identical fashion the following month. Both murders remain unsolved.[86]

He was considered one of the largest wholesalers of heroin in the New York area in the 1950s, and succeeded Joseph Paterno as North Jersey captain.[87] Carminati and sixteen co-conspirators were indicted on loansharking charges in May 1975 following an eleven-month undercover police investigation. Lieutenant Joseph Delaney of the Bergen County Police Department posed as a corrupt policeman and associated with Carminati and other North Jersey gangsters between June 1974 and May 1975 as part of the operation. On October 4, 1977, Carminati pleaded guilty to to loansharking and to four counts of conspiracy, including three counts involving separate attempts to bribe Delaney.[88] He reportedly fell into disfavor with the Gambino family leadership after he unwittingly allowed the undercover police officer to infiltrate a family loansharking operation, and also because of his alcoholism.[89] Carminati died on September 25, 1998 at the age of eighty-six.[90]

Suspecting that the Ravenite was bugged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), boss John Gotti began meeting with his captains in Cirelli's apartment. Aniello Dellacroce had also previously used the apartment for meetings. Following Cirelli's death in February 1988, the FBI began monitoring the apartment which was occupied by his widow Lena ("Nettie").[97] FBI agents planted a covert listening device there while Mrs. Cirelli was in Florida over Thanksgiving weekend 1989.[98] The audio evidence obtained from the apartment helped secure a conviction against Gotti on murder and racketeering charges in 1992.[99]
Carmine Consalvo[edit]
Carmine Anthony Consalvo (c. 1937 – September 7, 1975)[11] was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew who was involved in drug trafficking.[58] He was the brother of Francis Consalvo, the uncle of Louis Consalvo and Salvatore Scala, and the nephew of Edward Lino.[4] Consalvo was credited with a large role in establishing a heroin smuggling route between Mexico and New York. Other members of the Consalvo brothers' heroin trafficking organization included Charles Alaimo, Vincent Beltempo and Edward Lino, who was the director of distribution in the heroin ring.[4]
On August 1, 1972, Consalvo was shot at inside the Ravenite Social Club in Little Italy, Manhattan by Carlo Anthony Lombardi, who was involved in a feud with Consalvo's caporegime Aniello Dellacroce. Lombardi, an independent drug dealer, missed and was severely assaulted by his intended victims. Lombardi returned to the club on August 8 with a machine gun, but the gun malfunctioned and he fled. On August 10, Lombardi was killed by two .38 caliber bullets fired into his head while he was driving with a 23‐year‐old girlfriend on Route 17 near Thompson.[100] Lombardi's associate and wheelman, Joseph Fucillo, was shot five times in the head and killed as he backed his car down the driveway of his Brooklyn home on October 17, 1972, a day after pleading guilty to a charge of distributing one ounce of heroin.[101]
In what was ruled a suicide by police, Consalvo fell to his death from his 24th-floor luxury apartment in Fort Lee, New Jersey on September 7, 1975. At the time of his death, he was awaiting trial as part of a drug ring that trafficked $30 million worth of heroin into the United States. George Adamo and Charles LaRocca, former Gambino associates who switched allegiance to the Bonanno family and were allegedly contracted with killing Consalvo, were shot dead and left in a van on a street in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn the following month. Consalvo's brother Francis fell to his death from the roof of a tenement building in Little Italy that December.[102] Joseph Alaimo subsequently took over the Consalvo drug network.[4] John and Gene Gotti told a confidential informant in 1984 that the Consalvos were killed on the orders of Vincent Gigante, who was utilized by the Commission to execute mobsters who violated the Mafia's ban on being prosecuted for drug dealing.[103]
Edward Consalvo[edit]
Edward Rocco "Eddie Ottawa" Consalvo (May 11, 1920 – February 1981) was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew. He was possibly related to Carmine and Francis Consalvo, two other members of the crew. Consalvo was given a suspended sentence and placed on a two year probation in 1952 for possession of untaxed alcohol. He was a suspect in the July 1956 murder of Abraham Telvi. According to informants, Consalvo was driving the getaway car. Telvi had carried out an acid attack on Victor Riesel, a journalist investigating labor union corruption, on the orders of the Lucchese family three months before being shot dead on Mulberry Street.[11]

Consalvo fell to his death from the roof of a tenement building in Little Italy, Manhattan in December 1975, three months after his brother Francis died in a fall from his luxury apartment in Fort Lee, New Jersey. John and Gene Gotti told a confidential informant in 1984 that the Consalvo brothers were killed on the orders of Vincent Gigante, who was utilized by the Commission to execute mobsters who violated the Mafia's ban on drug trafficking.[103] Carmine Consalvo had been awaiting trial as part of a drug ring that trafficked $30 million worth of heroin into the United States at the time of his death in September 1975.[102]

Frank Corbi[edit]
Francesco Fidele "Frank" Corbi (January 13, 1904 – July 9, 1990) was a caporegime of the Baltimore Crew.[105] Born in Dedham, Massachusetts, he was the son of Frances (née Contanzere) and Vito Corbi (1866 – 1929), and brother of Antonio, Joseph and Pasquale Corbi (1895 – 1955). His Calabrian-born father and older brother Pasquale were part of the Famiglia Vagabonda, a gang involved in bootlegging and Black Hand extortion rackets in West Virginia, and later relocated to Baltimore where they led the city's Calabrian mafia. In the early 1950s, the Calabrians joined with a group of Sicilians sent to the city by Frank Scalice on the orders of Albert Anastasia, forming the Baltimore Crew of what is now the Gambino family. Frank Corbi became acting capo of the crew in 1966 following the death of Baltimore's first captain, Luigi Morici, initially reporting directly to Joseph N. Gallo in New York before being made official capo. Corbi was involved in loansharking, extortion and gambling, and had an arrest record beginning in 1921, with arrests for assault, disorderly conduct and selling intoxicating beverages. He was also the president of the Baltimore Pizza Crust, Inc., of which his younger brother Joseph was treasurer and general manager.[57] In December 1966, Corbi was shot in the leg, hand and abdomen outside a card club on The Block during a struggle for a gun with Angelo Tromberi after Tromberi had disarmed Pittsburgh family member Antonio Ripepi, whom Corbi had ordered to pistol-whip Tromberi over a gambling debt.[106] Corbi was acquitted of assaulting Tromberi on October 31, 1968.[107] On August 7, 1979, Frank and Joseph Corbi were charged under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act after an inspection of the interior and exterior of their company's pizza crust production system by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered an insect infestation problem. The Corbi brothers were each convicted of food hygiene violations on November 28, 1979.[108] Corbi died on July 9, 1990 at the age of eighty-six.[11] Although he had been inactive for some years, Corbi's death officially marked the end of the Gambino family's Baltimore regime.[56]

The arrests were the culmination of a six-month investigation, during which two preliminary purchases of ten ounces each of heroin were made by narcotics agents.[110] He later partnered with Genovese family mobster Angelo Lapi and several Chicago bookmakers in overseeing a betting operation based in Hallandale Beach, Florida.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). The group was allegedly also involved in drug trafficking in Chicago and the Dominican Republic, and Illinois congressman Dan Rostenkowski reportedly betted with the group. An undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigation of Corrao's bookmaking ring ended in June 1994 with no arrests after Rostenkowski was indicted on unrelated federal charges.[111] Corrao lived in Pompano Beach, Florida in his later years and died aged seventy-seven on December 10, 2010.[112]

Joseph Vincent "Joe Butch" Corrao (October 31, 1936 – November 14, 2001) was a caporegime of the Little Italy Crew.[11] He was the son of Vincenzo Corrao, brother of Augustus Corrao and father of Vincent Corrao. Sponsored by Domenico Castore, Corrao became a made man in May 1976 and succeeded his father Vincenzo as capo of the Little Italy Crew after his death that same month. The crew's operations included loansharking, gambling and the extortion of various legitimate businesses. Corrao owned two restaurants and several additional buildings on Mulberry Street in Lower Manhattan.[109] On June 20, 1986, Corrao was indicted on federal racketeering charges along with fellow Gambino family members Thomas Agro, Joseph Armone, Robert DiBernardo, James Failla, Joseph N. Gallo, John Giordano, Angelo Ruggiero, Anthony Vitta and Joseph Zingaro, and associates George Daly, Louis Giardina, Julie Miron, Salvatore Migliorisi and Mildred Russo.[113] Nicholas Corozzo took over Corrao's operation while he was under indictment.[114] Mildred Russo, a clerk at the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse in Manhattan, conspired between 1975 and 1983 with Gambino family leaders through Corrao and associate Augustus Sclafani to obtain information about confidential grand jury matters and other criminal proceedings.[115] Fearing that Sclafani would cooperate with authorities, boss John Gotti ordered him killed. Sclafani was shot and stabbed to death in Corrao's social club in Little Italy, allegedly by Joe Watts. Corrao was acquitted of loansharking, extortion and obstruction of justice on June 11, 1987.[116]
Corrao was again indicted for loansharking and other racketeering crimes in the early 1990s. He pleaded guilty to one count of participating in a racketeering enterprise, in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and he was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison followed by three years supervised release in October 1993.[117] His relationship with John Gotti became fraught because he violated the boss' rule by accepting a plea deal.[118] Corrao also showed contempt for John's brother and acting boss Peter Gotti.[119] He was released from prison in 1998 and died of kidney failure on November 14, 2001 at the age of sixty-five.

His arrest record began in 1937 for receiving stolen goods, and he was later convicted on federal narcotics charges. Corrao was arrested by federal agents for drug trafficking in New York City on April 1, 1954 alongside his son Augustus, Augustus Sclafani and two others. The arrests were the culmination of a six-month investigation, during which two preliminary purchases of ten ounces each of heroin were made by narcotics agents.[110] He died from natural causes at the age of sixty-seven on May 28, 1976.

Frank Robert "Frankie Dap" Dapolito (December 1, 1923 – January 20, 1997) was a caporegime.[11] One of five brothers, he was raised in Greenwich Village, Manhattan and later resided in Bayside, Queens. Dapolito was a professional boxer in his youth and became a made man in the Gambino family in the 1950s, serving as a soldier until the early 1980s when he was appointed acting captain and then official captain of Ettore Zappi's crew upon Zappi's semi-retirement to Florida. For many years, Dapolito held the position of business agent in International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union 854 of Valley Stream, Long Island. Ettore Zappi's son Anthony was the longtime secretary/treasurer of the same union.[128] When the federal government began cracking down on Mafia infiltration of the union movement in the mid-1980s, Dapolito and Zappi resigned from their positions to avoid being expelled, which allowed them to retain their pensions. He then became personnel manager for a group of school bus companies that held lucrative city contracts.[129][130] In addition to labor racketeering, Dapolito was also involved in loansharking. In November 1994, he was sentenced to forty months in prison after being convicted of loansharking and racketeering.[131][90] Dapolito was paroled after serving approximately twenty-seven months of his sentence and died on January 20, 1997, aged seventy-three.[132]

Thomas Anthony "Tommy" DeBrizzi (c. 1922 – January 30, 1988) was a caporegime in the Connecticut faction.[11] A made man since at least 1966, he resided in Stratford and was involved in gambling and loansharking rackets in Stratford, Bridgeport and West Haven. DeBrizzi's criminal record started in 1941 and included convictions on illegal gambling, loansharking, racketeering and weapons charges. He was arrested for transporting a woman from Augusta, Georgia to Richmond, Virginia for the purpose of prostitution in 1952. In 1958, DeBrizzi was convicted of assault and breach in connection with two separate disturbances. A federal anti-loansharking statute was used for the first time in Connecticut against DeBrizzi and an associate, Angelo D. DeStafano, in 1969. He took control of the Gambino family's operations in Fairfield County after the previous captain, Frank Piccolo, was killed in September 1981. In April 1984, DeBrizzi's home in Stratford was one of six raided by the Connecticut State Police (CSP) during a crackdown on illegal gambling. $77,000 in cash, three handguns and betting slips were seized. While serving a ninety-day sentence on state racketeering and gambling charges the following year, he was indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts of illegally possessing firearms, two .38 caliber and a .44 caliber. DeBrizzi was convicted on the firearms charges and was sentenced to serve twenty-four months' imprisonment at FCI Danbury. He was released in August 1987 after serving sixteen months of his sentence.[133]
The leadership of the Gambino family had changed while DeBrizzi was in prison, with John Gotti supplanting Paul Castellano as boss. On February 5, 1988, DeBrizzi’s frozen corpse was found in the trunk of a car he had borrowed in shopping mall parking lot in Trumbull. The sixty-four-year-old had been shot four times in the head, chest and neck.[134][8] Anthony Megale, who had started taking control over some of DeBrizzi's bookmaking and sports-betting operations in Stamford while he was imprisoned, succeeded him as capo of the Connecticut crew.[135] Mobster-turned-government witness Sammy Gravano later testified that the underboss of the previous regime, Thomas Bilotti, had allowed DeBrizzi the option of missing meetings with the family's administration, but DeBrizzi angered John Gotti by refusing on three occasions to meet with Gotti in New York City. Gotti ordered DeBrizzi's killing as a means of sending a message to his other captains.[136]

In 1965, DeCurtis was charged along with Donato Fatico and John Vignini with multiple misdemeanor counts of keeping a disorderly house, conspiracy to violate federal liquor laws and disorderly conduct after the Nassau County Police Department raided a bar that catered to homosexuals in Island Park, Long Island. In 1967, DeCurtis, Fatico and Vignini were arrested again, this time on perjury charges related to an arson investigation after two rival gay bars located in nearby Oceanside were attacked with Molotov cocktails.[138] All three defendants were convicted on all charges, and DeCurtis was sentenced to two one-year prison sentences to run concurrently.[139] An informant told the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in September 1967 that DeCurtis and his brother Guido were behind the opening of the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. After his release from prison, DeCurtis took control of a pornography business in Lower Manhattan in 1973.[140] The company, Wholesale Books, was one of the largest manufacturers, producers and distributors of adult literature and films in the United States.[141]
The FBI reported as recently as 1980 that DeCurtis "probably continues to maintain secret interests in bars in lower Manhattan that cater to homosexuals". DeCurtis, who lived with his wife in Nassau County, Long Island and also owned a home on Staten Island, died of natural causes in July 1985, aged seventy-two.[142] His twenty-nine year old son Gregory DeCurtis was shot dead by a gunman who fled on a motorcycle as he sat inside a stretch limousine on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village on March 21, 1988.[143][144]
Guido DeCurtis[edit]
Guido Mario DeCurtis (c. 1914 – March 16, 1977) was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew.[58] He was involved in numerous rackets, including the financing of bars that catered to homosexuals, with his brother Ettore DeCurtis. An informant told the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in September 1967 that the DeCurtis brothers were behind the opening of the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, Manhattan.[142] He and Louis F. DiSalvo were arrested by the FBI on gambling charges on July 8, 1975 after federal agents raided and closed a high stakes gambling house on the East Side of Manhattan.[145]
DeCurtis died after being shot twice on Lexington Avenue on Manhattan's East Side on March 16, 1977 in full view of passersby and a police officer.[143] The officer arrested a suspect, Lebanese-Canadian dual citizen Joseph Djaija, after a chase.[146] At the time of his death, sixty-two-year-old DeCurtis' underboss and former caporegime Aniello Dellacroce was involved in a conflict with Bonanno family acting boss Carmine Galante over heroin rackets. While some law enforcement officials believe DeCurtis was killed because of a personal feud concerning gambling rights in Astoria, Queens, Dellacroce suspected that the murder was carried out by the Canadian faction of the Bonnano family and sent henchmen to Montreal, an important link in Galante's narcotics network. Dellacroce's men interrogated several Galante associates but found no proof that he had ordered DeCurtis' murder.[147]
Aniello Dellacroce[edit]
Armond Dellacroce[edit]
Armond "Buddy" Dellacroce (July 16, 1955 – April 4, 1988) was a soldier and the son of Aniello Dellacroce.[11][58] He pleaded guilty to criminal contempt on August 1, 1980 and he was sentenced to a one-year prison term on October 7, 1980 after he refused to testify at a grand jury investigation into the July 12, 1979 murder of acting Bonanno boss Carmine Galante.[148][149]
Dellacroce was indicted on racketeering and conspiracy charges along with his underboss father Aniello, boss John Gotti and seven others in March 1985. Dellacroce pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy on December 6, 1985, four days after his father died aged seventy-one of natural causes. Facing twenty years' imprisonment and a $25,000 fine, he disappeared before he was scheduled to be sentenced on March 31, 1986 and became the subject of a nationwide manhunt.[150] Dellacroce died at the age of 32 while hiding in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania on April 4, 1988 after two years as a fugitive. The cause of death was listed as a cerebral hemorrhage resulting from alcoholic cirrhosis.[151] He tested positive for the AIDS virus after his death.[152]
Carmine Dellacroce[edit]
Carmine James Dellacroce (December 2, 1905 – January 1969) was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew and the brother of Aniello Dellacroce.[11][58] He was convicted of striking a man on the head with a hammer during a fight in 1937 and sentenced to a six-month prison term. Dellacroce lived in Valley Stream, Long Island and died in January 1969 at the age of sixty-three.[153]
Joseph Delmonico[edit]
Joseph "Joe Brewster" Delmonico (– March 2022)
Anthony DeLutro[edit]
Anthony "Tony West" DeLutro (April 9, 1927 – March 26, 1997) was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew.[58] He was the brother of Cataldo DeLutro and father of John DeLutro.[155] In December 1964, DeLutro was convicted along with five others of various crimes relating to the burglary of seven United States Postal Service offices in New Jersey and the transportation and receipt of stamps stolen therefrom.[156] The gang stole $158,485 in postage stamps and blank money orders that could be cashed for as much as $147,000.[157] DeLutro was one of three operators of an afterhours club in Manhattan's Flatiron District arrested on May 18, 1969 following a grand jury investigation conducted by the U.S. Attorney's office and the Justice Department's Joint Strike Force on Organized Crime and Racketeering. The trio were found guilty of engaging in a retail liquor business without paying the federal tax on retail liquor dealers. On February 10, 1971, he was sentenced to two years in prison and fined $500.[158]
DeLutro was among nineteen people, also including Frank Lucas, who were indicted in January 1975 on narcotics trafficking charges after a year-long investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).[159] He was convicted on October 4, 1975 of distributing and conspiracy to distribute heroin as part of a narcotics ring that distributed over a hundred pounds of the drug in the New York metropolitan area in a one‐year period ending in early 1974.[160] On December 3, 1975, DeLutro was sentenced to twenty-five years' imprisonment.[161] He later lived in Rego Park, Queens and died on March 26, 1997 aged sixty-nine.[162]
Cataldo DeLutro[edit]
Cataldo Calegro DeLutro (November 27, 1916 – April 14, 1987), nicknamed "Charlie the Animal" and "Charlie West", was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew and the brother of Anthony DeLutro.[58] He was known as a loanshark and had a long criminal record.[163] In May 1969, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents questioned Leonard Horowitz, a businessman who DeLutro had loaned a total of $42,000 in cash over a seven month period ending in the spring of 1969. The FBI obtained permission to install listening equipment at Horowitz's business office to record a meeting with DeLutro. On May 12, Leonard Horowitz informed DeLutro's messenger that he was unable to make his full weekly payment, prompting DeLutro to visit him later that day to collect. The conversation was recorded, and was watched by an FBI agent hidden a few feet away. In 1970, DeLutro was convicted of violating the federal loansharking statute and the Hobbs Act, sentenced to eight years in prison and fined $10,000.[164] He died at the age of seventy on April 14, 1987.[11]
Roy DeMeo[edit]
Gregory DePalma[edit]
Paul DiBella[edit]
Paul DiBella (born c. 1921) was a soldier who controlled numerous afterhours clubs in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, some of which catered to the homosexual community.[139] A resident of Jackson Heights, Queens, he was the primary target of an investigation into unlicensed bars by a joint task force consisting of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which led to his arrest at his summer residence on Greenwood Lake, New Jersey on July 18, 1971. Twenty-seven others, including DiBella's stepson Nicholas DiMartino, were also arrested in connection to raids carried out at nine Manhattan afterhours clubs.[165] Narcotics were discovered at several of the raided premises.[166]
Robert DiBernardo[edit]
Louis DiBono[edit]
Louis Salvatore Valentino DiBono (May 3, 1927 – October 4, 1990) was a soldier in Pasquale Conte's crew.[11] Born in Corona, Queens, he was a construction contractor and operated a plastering and drywall company. In the early 1980s, DiBono became embroiled in a dispute with business partner Sammy Gravano, a member of another Gambino crew. A sit-down was held with boss Paul Castellano, at which an irate Gravano accused DiBono of withholding $200,000 in payments for subcontracts and threatened to kill DiBono. Gambino underboss Aniello Dellacroce intervened on Gravano's behalf, and Castellano ordered the two men to end their business partnership.[167] DiBono's company was contracted to apply fireproofing material to the infrastructure of the World Trade Center beginning in 1969. The manner in which DiBono obtained the contract was subject to a criminal investigation into New York and New Jersey Port Authority construction contracting. No criminal charges resulted from the fireproofing work.[168]
DiBono was found dead in his Cadillac in an underground parking garage at the World Trade Center on October 4, 1990. He had been shot three times in the head, apparently outside the car before being placed on the car's front seat. DiBono, who resided in Glen Cove, Long Island, was sixty-three years old.[169] He was laid to rest at Mount Saint Mary Cemetary in Flushing, Queens.[170] The murder was not captured on surveillance cameras and no witnesses could be located.[171] On December 11, 1990, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and New York City Police Department (NYPD) detectives raided the Ravenite Social Club, arresting the Gambino family administration, John Gotti, Frank Locascio and Sammy Gravano. The trio were charged with the murders of DiBono and four others, and various other offences.[172] Underboss-turned-government witness Sammy Gravano later testified that DiBono was killed after a dispute with boss John Gotti. According to Gravano, Gotti ordered DiBono's killing and selected DiBono's caporegime Pasquale Conte to oversee it.[173] On April 2, 1992, Gotti was convicted on all charges, and Locascio was found guilty on all but one. Both defendants were sentenced on June 23, 1992 to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole and a $250,000 fine.[172] Pasquale Conte and two of his soldiers, Paul Graziano and Anthony Vinciullo, were charged with the DiBono murder in February 1993.[174] However, in January 1994 a mistrial was declared due to a hung jury.[175] Conte, Graziano and Vinciullo were reindicted for the murder in June 1994 and, in lieu of a retrial, the trio decided to accept a plea bargain deal from the government.[176] In September 1994, Conte was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years' imprisonment and Graziano was sentenced to ten years'.[176][177] In January 2008, Gambino family associate John Alite pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy to murder Louis DiBono and three others, and various additional crimes.[178] After becoming a government witness, Alite implicated former acting boss John A. Gotti and enforcer Charles Carneglia in the killing of DiBono and others. Carneglia was convicted of four gangland murders, including DiBono's, on March 17, 2009.[179] He was given a life sentence on September 17, 2009.[180] On December 1, 2009, the trial of Gotti, Jr. ended in a mistrial and federal prosecutors indicated that they would not seek another trial against him.[181] In January 2010, the government decided not to pursue further charges against Gotti.[182]
Frank Locascio maintained his innocence in DiBono's murder.[183] Locascio's former defense lawyer, Anthony Cadinale, revealed after John Gotti's death in 2002 that he had received death threats from Gotti during the 1992 trial. Locascio's request for a new trial was denied in January 2007 after a federal appeals court rejected his claim that Cardinale had erred as a result of the threats.[184] In February 2020, Locascio filed papers in Brooklyn federal court in an attempt to overturn his murder conviction. Included in the papers was a statement from Sammy Gravano, reading "Frank Locascio had no role in the planning of, nor did he participate in any way in the murder or conspiracy to murder Louis DiBono".[185]
Vincent DiModica[edit]
Vincent D. "Juicy" DiModica (born c. 1932) was a caporegime in the New Jersey faction. A native of Belleville, he married his wife Patricia on October 9, 1955.[186] DiModica was convicted of armed robbery after stealing several thousand dollars from a supermarket in West Orange, New Jersey on September 6, 1958. In April 1960, two employees whom DiModica had held at gunpoint identified him as the robber during a lineup at New Jersey State Prison, where he was incarcerated for another crime.[187] On November 12, 1975, DiModica was indicted by an Essex County grand jury along with four others. The indictment charged that he and Raymond Carl Freda conspired with Newark Police Department (NPD) officers Gerard Valerius and Vincent Squatrito to carry out a fraudulent drug deal with two unsuspecting victims. DiModica and Freda arranged a proposed sale of a quantity of hashish to two other individuals for a price of $23,000. Valerius and Squatrito appeared at the time and place arranged for the sale, confiscated the drugs and the cash on behalf of the NPD and pretended to arrest DiModica and Freda. The indictment alleged that no such quantity of hashish ever existed and that DiModica, Freda, Valerius and Squatrito intended to trick and defraud their victims into believing that the hashish and the purchase money were being seized by the police department. Valerius and Squatrito never filed any report concerning this alleged incident or turned in any of the money which was purportedly confiscated.[188]
DiModica succeeded Robert Bisaccia as captain in the Gambino family's New Jersey faction after Bisaccia was imprisoned in 1993.[189] In May 1993, DiModica, his son James and Paul J. Whitney were charged with conspiracy and theft after being arrested following a robbery at a drugstore in Eldersburg, Maryland.[190] On February 28, 1998, DiModica, Genovese family captain Rosario Gangi and Genovese associate John Albert were indicted for extorting $200,000 from contractors and conspiring to defraud the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Newark International Airport.[191] DiModica, Gangi and Albert were convicted on July 27, 1998 of charges ranging from extortion to wire and mail fraud and violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). DiModica was sentenced to seventeen-and-a-half years in prison on October 1, 1998.[192] He served his sentence at FCI Otisville in New York and was released on September 21, 2012.[193][52]
James Eppolito, Sr.[edit]
James "Jimmy the Clam" Eppolito (c. 1915 – October 1, 1979) was a soldier in the Bath Beach–Bensonhurst faction of Nino Gaggi's crew, and a former caporegime.[194] A Sicilian American, he was the brother of Ralph Eppolito, father of James Eppolito, Jr. and uncle of Louis Eppolito, a corrupt New York Police Department (NYPD) detective and Lucchese family hitman.[195] Eppolito became a made man in the 1950s and was appointed to the role of capo by boss Carlo Gambino in the 1960s; he was at one point a powerful captain primarily involved in bookmaking. His power declined during the late 1970s, however, when Paul Castellano became boss following the death of Gambino. In 1979, Eppolito informed Castellano that Nino Gaggi and Roy DeMeo were involved in narcotics trafficking – a breach of the Gambino family's rules – after DeMeo cheated his son out of several thousand dollars in a cocaine deal. Gaggi and DeMeo denied the accusation to Castellano and claimed that Eppolito, Jr. was in fact a police informant. Castellano then ordered Gaggi to resolve the matter in whichever manner he chose; Gaggi and DeMeo decided to lure the Eppolitos to the Gemini Lounge in Canarsie, kill them and dismember their corpses.[196] Peter Piacenti, a trusted contemporary of Eppolito, was duped by Gaggi into attending the sitdown as a mediator, and the five men were travelling to the Gemini in Eppolito, Jr.'s Ford Thunderbird on October 1, 1979 when Eppolito, Sr. likely had an inclination as to his fate and ordered his son to pull the car over, ostensibly so that he could relieve himself. DeMeo and Gaggi shot and killed the Eppolitos when the car pulled over in Coney Island.[197] The double murder was witnessed by a passerby, Patrick Penny, who then alerted off-duty police sergeant Paul Roder. After a brief shootout, Roder wounded Gaggi in the neck and arrested him and Piacenti. DeMeo left the scene in a different direction from Gaggi and Piacenti and was not arrested or identified by the witness.[198] In March 1980, Gaggi and Piacenti were acquitted of murder; Gaggi was instead convicted of assault, and Piacenti of reckless endangerment.[199] Gaggi was sentenced to five-to-fifteen years in federal prison but his sentence was overturned on appeal and he was released from prison in 1981, while Piacenti served eight months in prison.[200] The witness in the case, Patrick Penny, was shot and killed by Roy DeMeo in Sheepshed Bay on May 12, 1980 for testifying against Gaggi and Piacenti.[201]
James Eppolito, Jr.[edit]
James A. "Jim-Jim" Eppolito (c. 1946 – October 1, 1979) was a soldier in Brooklyn. His father James Eppolito, Sr. and uncle Ralph Eppolito were also made men in the Gambino family, and his cousin was corrupt New York Police Department (NYPD) detective and Lucchese family hitman Louis Eppolito.[195] Eppolito was involved in a children's charity scam that duped First Lady Rosalynn Carter and Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, among others. The scam was exposed by the television show 60 Minutes in 1979, and newspapers printed still photographs from the television footage showing Eppolito and Carter posing together. This angered boss Paul Castellano, who was concerned that the exposure may result in retaliation against the Gambino family by President Jimmy Carter. That same year, Eppolito was conned out of several thousand dollars by Roy DeMeo in a cocaine deal. He complained to his father, a former caporegime, but DeMeo and his captain Nino Gaggi denied the accusation and accused Eppolito, Jr. of being a police informant. Eppolito, Sr. then took the complaint to Paul Castellano, exposing DeMeo and Gaggi's drug dealing – a prohibited activity in the Gambino family – and requesting permission to kill the pair. Castellano accepted Gaggi's version of events, however, and ordered him to resolve the matter in whichever manner he saw fit.[196] Gaggi and DeMeo decided to lure the Eppolitos to a sitdown at the Gemini Lounge in Canarsie, where they planned to kill them and dismember their bodies. Gaggi duped Peter Piacenti, a trusted contemporary of Eppolito, Sr., into attending the meeting as a mediator. The five men were travelling to the Gemini Lounge in Eppolito, Jr.'s Ford Thunderbird on October 1, 1979 when Eppolito, Sr. ordered his son to pull the car over, ostensibly so that he could relieve himself, after becoming suspicious. DeMeo and Gaggi shot and killed the Eppolitos when the car pulled over in Coney Island.[197] The murders were witnessed by a passerby, Patrick Penny, who then alerted off-duty police sergeant Paul Roder. After a brief shootout, Roder wounded Gaggi in the neck and arrested him and Piacenti. DeMeo left the scene in a different direction from the other two and was not arrested or identified by the witness.[198] Gaggi and Piacenti were acquitted of murder in March 1980; Gaggi was instead convicted of assault, and Piacenti of reckless endangerment.[199] Gaggi was sentenced to five-to-fifteen years in federal prison but his sentence was overturned on appeal and he was released from prison in 1981, while Piacenti served eight months in prison.[200] Patrick Penny, who testified against Gaggi and Piacenti in the case, was shot dead by DeMeo after leaving a bar in Sheepshed Bay on May 12, 1980.[201]
James Failla[edit]
Joseph Farinella[edit]
Joseph Nicholas "Pal Joey" Farinella (May 4, 1930 – October 21, 2001)[11] was a soldier in the New Jersey faction. The son of Christina (née Casale) and Samuel Farinella, he was born in Maplewood and served in the United States Navy during the Korean War.[202] In June 1964, Farinella was indicted on murder charges along with Peter Ferrara, Angelo Meli and Nicholas Russo in relation to the killing of suspected informant Alfredo Santantonio, who was shot dead by two men in a flower store he owned in Brooklyn on July 11, 1963,[203] after a covert listening device planted in Ferrara's office in a Coney Island service station by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) the previous year as part of an unrelated investigation unexpectedly provided details of the murder conspiracy.[204] Authorities were able to determine that Brooklyn-based caporegime Ferrara ordered Santantonio killed due to suspicions that he had revealed details about a Gambino family heroin trafficking ring to law enforcement, and that Farinella and Meli were the shooters, while Ferrara and Russo acted as backup shooters.[205] Murder charges against the four were dismissed by the district attorney in September 1967 when the Supreme Court deemed that evidence in the case was obtained via illegal electronic surveillance.[206][207]
In 1986, Farinella helped orchestrate a meeting between Philadelphia family boss Nicodemo Scarfo and Gambino boss John Gotti regarding an incident in which Matty Gambino, a member of the Cherry Hill Gambinos, brandished a firearm and threatened the life of Philadelphia soldier Phil Narducci during a bar fight that started over a female. Scarfo requested the meeting and designated his nephew and underboss Phil Leonetti with the task of organizing the summit. Leonetti then contacted Farinella, his liaison in the Gambino family, who arranged for Scarfo and Gotti to meet at the Staten Island home of the brother-in-law of Gambino underboss Sammy Gravano. With Philadelphia being represented by Scarfo and Leonetti, and the Gambino delegation consisting of Farinella, Gravano, Gotti and his consigliere Joseph N. Gallo, the sitdown ended with Gotti apologizing for Gambino's actions and giving Scarfo permission to issue a murder contract on Gambino should he disrespect a member of the Philadelphia family in future.[208]
He and his wife of 49 years, Joan J. Russell Farinella, owned and operated a deli in Ewing Township between 1968 and 2002. A 40-year resident of Lawrenceville, Farinella died on October 21, 2001 at the age of 71.[209] Joan died aged 73 on April 5, 2008.[210]

Carmine Fatico[edit]
Donato Fatico[edit]
Donato "Daniel" Fatico (July 10, 1920 – March 24, 2006), nicknamed "Danny Wagons" and "Danny the Head", was a soldier in the Mulberry Street Crew and later the Bergin Crew who operated in the East New York–Brownsville and Canarsie sections of Brooklyn, and the Ozone Park neighborhood in Queens.[58] He was born in East New York but relocated to Ozone Park, where he lived with his wife and three children, amidst rapid demographic change in East New York in the 1950s. Fatico became a made man during the Albert Anastasia regime, following in the footsteps of his older brother Carmine Fatico, with whom he was a partner in many rackets.[211] After initially serving under Aniello Dellacroce in the Mulberry Street Crew, he later became a member of the Bergin Crew, operating out of the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club in Ozone Park, where he was acting captain to his brother Carmine.[138]
Fatico's arrest record began in 1941 and included charges of felonious assault, burglary, bookmaking, policy, the illegal manufacture of alcohol, vagrancy, running a disorderly house, and hijacking. He was convicted more than twenty times throughout his life. In 1946, Fatico and an accomplice were charged with stabbing a man, John Minutella, and striking him in the head with a baseball bat after an argument at a card game. Later that year, he was charged with another felonious assault for attempting to hit another man, Michael Mintelli, with his car. In the mid-1950s, Fatico and several others were charged with federal alcohol tax violations, manufacture, sale, and conspiracy after U.S. Department of the Treasury agents raided a thousand-gallon alcohol still racket at an abandoned warehouse in Long Island City, Queens. In 1965, he was charged along with Ettore DeCurtis and John Vignini with multiple misdemeanor counts of keeping a disorderly house, conspiracy to violate federal liquor laws and disorderly conduct following a raid on a bar that catered to homosexuals in Island Park, Long Island by the Nassau County Police Department.[139] Fatico, DeCurtis, and Vignini were arrested again in 1967, this time on perjury charges related to an arson investigation after two rival gay bars located in nearby Oceanside were attacked with Molotov cocktails. All three defendants were convicted on all charges, and Fatico was sentenced to six months' imprisonment.[138] On January 23, 1974, detectives from the Brooklyn District Attorney's office raided a high stakes craps game at a social club in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, arresting thirty people, including Fatico and four other Mafia members. All were charged with promoting gambling in the second degree and possession of gambling equipment.[212]
Fatico was among eighteen members of a hijacking ring indicted by a federal grand jury in Brooklyn on February 5, 1976, charged with carrying out five truck hijackings at John F. Kennedy International Airport between 1971 and 1972 that resulted in the theft of over $400,000. Other members of the gang included Carmine Fatico, Charles and John Carneglia, and Thomas DeSimone.[213] After a mistrial was declared due to a jury deadlock, Donato and Carmine Fatico pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess a quantity of furs stolen from a foreign shipment. Prior to sentencing, the government informed the judge in the case that both men were made members of the Gambino family and important figures in the upper echelon of organized crime activity, potentially compelling the judge to hand down increased sentences. The Fatico brothers objected, resulting in the creation of a proceeding known as a Fatico hearing when the government offered to support its allegations at a sentencing hearing by the testimony of the former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s Organized Crime section in the New York office, based upon information furnished to him by confidential informants.[214] These informants were later revealed to be Manuel Llauget and Colombo family associate Salvatore Montello, both of whom went into the witness protection program. The judge in the case concluded that the Faticos were indeed members of the Mafia.[215] On January 6, 1978, Fatico was arrested following another gambling raid when detectives stormed a small apartment in Kips Bay, Manhattan where a craps game was being held. Fatico and five others were charged with promoting gambling and possession of gambling paraphernalia.[216] On July 27, 1978, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York sentenced Fatico to a four-year term on the conspiracy count, to be served consecutively with a three-year term imposed a month earlier for his conviction for operating the dice game.[217]
Fatico went into semi-retirement following his release from prison and died on March 24, 2006 at the age of eighty-six.[11][138]
Peter Ferrara[edit]
Peter "Petey Pumps" Ferrara (c. 1908 – 1969) was a caporegime in Brooklyn.[60] He was involved primarily in gambling.[218] Ferrara was indicted in June 1964, along with Angelo Meli, Nicholas Russo and Joseph Farinella, in connection to the murder of suspected informant Alfredo Santantonio, who was shot dead by two men in his flower store in Brooklyn on July 11, 1963.[203] A listening device planted in Ferrara's Coney Island office by the New York Police Department (NYPD) the previous year as part of an unrelated investigation unexpectedly provided details of the murder conspiracy against Santantonio.[204] Authorities determined that Ferrara had ordered the killing after suspecting that Santantonio had revealed to law enforcement details about the Gambino family's heroin trafficking network, and that Meli and Farinella were the shooters, while Ferrara and Russo acted as backup shooters and waited outside the flower shop. Ferrara was apprehended by detectives on May 3, 1965 as he left Doctors' Hospital on Staten Island, where he was a heart patient under an alias.[205] Murder charges against Ferrara and his three co-defendants were dismissed by the district attorney in September 1967 after the Supreme Court deemed that evidence in the case was obtained from illegal electronic surveillance.[206] Ferrara, who stood 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m) tall, had a daughter who became a nun.[219]

Henry Joseph Borelli (born June 15, 1948), nicknamed "Dirty Henry" in reference to the film Dirty Harry, is a former associate of Roy DeMeo's Gemini Lounge Crew in Canarsie, Brooklyn. He is ineligible to become a made man because he took, and passed, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) entrance exam in the early 1970s. When New York City froze the hiring list during a budget crisis, however, he was arrested twice for petty burglary, ruining his candidacy for the police department.

Vito Borelli[edit]
Vito Borelli (died 1975) was an associate of the Gambino and Bonanno families. Prior to his association with the Gambino family, he had been affiliated with Bonanno family member Philip Rastelli and had briefly dated one of Rastelli's nieces. Borelli was later in a relationship with Constance "Connie" Castellano, the daughter of Gambino family acting boss Paul Castellano. In mid-1975, Paul Castellano ordered the murder of Borelli after hearing that Borelli had made disparaging remarks about him; Borelli had compared Castellano to Frank Perdue, the owner and commercial spokesman for Perdue Farms.[226] After struggling to locate or create an opportunity to kill Borelli, the Gambino family contacted the Bonanno family via Salvatore Catalano for assistance in the murder. Borelli was lured to the warehouse of a cookie shop owned by Bonanno soldier Anthony Rabito in Midtown Manhattan, where he was shot dead by John Gotti and Joseph Watts. Earlier that day, a stolen panel truck, obtained by Bonanno associate Duane Leisenheimer, was provided to Salvatore Vitale and John Carneglia and parked outside Rabito's business for use in transporting Borelli's body. After the truck failed to start, Vitale offered his own car for use. The body was placed in the trunk and Vitale, accompanied by Frank DeCicco, delivered it to a location in or near South Ozone Park, Queens, where a second group that included Roy DeMeo had assembled.[227] Borelli's corpse was presumably subsequently dismembered and disposed of in Brooklyn's Fountain Avenue landfill, a site commonly used by DeMeo.[228] His remains have never been recovered. Additional participants in Borelli's murder included Gambino family member Angelo Ruggiero, and Joseph Massino, Dominick Napolitano, James Episcopia and John Cerasani of the Bonnano family.[229] Vitale and Massino later provided testimony regarding Borelli's murder in 2003 and 2004, respectively, after becoming government witnesses.[230][231][232]
Greg Bucceroni[edit]
Gregory "Greg" Bucceroni (born c. 1964) is a former associate of the Gambino, Lucchese and Philadelphia crime families-turned-police officer and crime victim advocate.[233] The son of a Philadelphia police officer and nephew of heavyweight boxer Dan "Butcher Boy" Bucceroni, a debt collector for the Philadelphia Mafia, Greg Bucceroni began running errands for Harry Riccobene's loan sharking and bookmaking operations in South Philadelphia by 1975. He was a child street hustler and alleges that he was abused by a tri-state pedophile ring, involving Ed Savitz and Jerry Sandusky's Second Mile foundation, between 1977 and 1980.[234] Bucceroni claims that future mob hitman John Veasey was a fellow street hustler and abuse victim. He also claims that Riccobene introduced him to Lucchese associate Jimmy Burke in 1978, and that Burke was responsible for the January 1979 unsolved murder of Thomas DeSimone. According to Bucceroni, DeSimone's body was disposed of in a crushed car at a scrap metal yard in Kensington, Philadelphia by Richie Bildstein, an associate of Richard Kuklinski, at Burke's request. In an article written for The Public Record, Bucceroni recalled that Burke asked him to lure Henry Hill into an ambush at a Brooklyn Heights grocery store when he suspected Hill of being an informant in 1980.[235] Bucceroni's association with the Gambino family began in 1979 when he was introduced to Chucky Smith, a Gambino associate who operated pornography establishments in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York City.[236] Between 1980 and 1982, Bucceroni was involved with Robert DiBernardo's pornography rackets in New York City, Philadelphia and Atlantic City.[237] His association with organized crime ended in 1982 when he joined the military aged eighteen.[238]

Frank Carrone[edit]
Francesco Carrone (1938 - 1975), also known as "Buzzy" or "Buzz", was an American Gambino crime family associate. He was a close friend of Thomas Agro and Peter Calabrese.
Born in the Little Italy section of Manhattan, Carrone was nicknamed "Buzz" because of his violent temper. He joined the Gambino family as an associate, working under caporegime Thomas Agro, and later Carmine Fatico, in the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club crew. He was involved in bank robbery and hijacking as a "stick up man". Carrone also trafficked small shipments of cocaine, marijuana and Quaaludes in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
His right eye was gouged or shot out, severing nerve endings and paralyzing facial muscles and giving the impression that half of his face was smiling. It is unclear how or who was responsible for Carrone losing his eye. As a result of the injury, he suffered from depth perception issues in the years following his accident. Fellow crew member Joseph Ianuzzi described Carrone before his disfigurement as "a tall and handsome Italian".
Carrone suffered from narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. After his disfigurement, Carrone's condition was made worse by a severe case of posttraumatic stress disorder.
Carrone was exiled from his crew and the Gambino family for robbing banks without Fatico's permission. Carrone now started robbing banks on his own. In May 1972 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agents Patrick Colgan and Thomas D'Onofrio were looking for Carrone about a string of bank robberies in New York. A number of bank tellers implicated Carrone, describing him as "bizarre looking man with one eye and a gun". One day the two agents spotted Carrone exiting an apartment building in Little Italy. Carrone saw the agents and drove off. The FBI chased him at speeds up to 90 miles per hour (140 km/h). As the agents approached children crossing at a cross walk, they attempted to slow down, but their brakes failed. Carrone sped away, but immediately plowed into a woman's car. When the agents got out of their car, a bystander told them that Carrone was hiding under the steering wheel in his vehicle. Almost immediately, Carrone popped out and starting firing at the agents. In the confusion, Carrone managed to escape.
After the FBI shootout, FBI supervisor John Good approached Fatico and told him to give up Carrone. Fatico could not comply because Carrone had fled to Boston. This caused a period of major FBI harassment brought on by Carrone shooting at the FBI agents. Furious at the trouble that Carrone had caused the Gambino family, Fatico put a contract on Carrone. Fatico allegedly offered to induct anyone who murdered Carrone into the Gambino family. However, Carrone remained a fugitive. He was also featured as a fugitive on the television program America's Most Wanted, but no one turned him in.
In 1974, low on money, Carrone robbed a bank in East Boston, Massachusetts in the Financial District, Boston, Massachusetts. However, a silent alarm went off and Massachusetts state police troopers were soon chasing him. The troopers chased Carrone into some nearby woods. One trooper, tiptoeing through some heavy underbrush, suddenly heard three loud clicks behind him. He turned with his gun drawn and saw Carrone standing there, his gun pointed at the trooper's head; Carrone was out of ammunition, however. As the trooper leveled his own gun at Carrone, Carrone pleaded with the trooper, "Do it". The trooper spared Carrone's life and arrested him.
Carrone was sent to prison at Massachusetts Correctional Institution - Cedar Junction in Walpole, Massachusetts. Carrone feared that he would be murdered by his former associates in the Gambino family, and so suffered from insomnia brought on by anxiety and chronic fatigue syndrome.
In 1975, Carrone died in prison of an undiagnosed supraventricular tachycardia brought on by hypertension, starvation, and malnourishment.

Richard DiNome[edit]
Richard "Richie" DiNome (September 10, 1954 Pigtown, Brooklyn - February 4, 1984 Gravesend, Brooklyn) was an alleged member of the DeMeo crew under the Gambino crime family. He was the younger brother of Gambino associate and government informant Frederick DiNome.
Richard DiNome was born to Italian-American emigrants in Pigtown, Brooklyn. He was involved in stealing cars and worked at a chop shop in Staten Island, stripping cars for automobile parts. He lived at 2305 E 5th Street in Gravesend, Brooklyn. On an average day DiNome stole 6-7 cars from the rich neighborhoods in Brooklyn. He was known among criminal associates as an expert auto mechanic. He professed pure happiness when he was asked to work with his brother Frederick in his stolen car ring.
Fellow car thieves Anthony Senter and Joseph Testa used his family's station wagon equipped with his child's baby stroller, car seat and toys to hinder police suspicion of any wrongdoing when stopped by curious police officers out on the street. Anthony, Joseph, DiNome, and Vito Arena centered on the Jewish-populated neighborhood of Borough Park because the cars in the vicinity of that neighborhood were least likely to have non-leather upholstered seats due to religious practices. He would drive them to Flatlands, Brooklyn and leave them on streets near his brother Freddy's automotive shop, signalling which vehicles were stolen by leaving the passenger-side sun visor down.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, DiNome started adopting a wardrobe that consisted of New York City Police Department-style shirts, gold chains around his neck and a dungaree jacket. While attaching a silencer to a loaded automatic handgun in preparation for the murder of business associate Khaled Fahd Darwish Daoud, he accidentally shot himself in the hand.
He followed his brother into organized crime and become a key member of the DeMeo crew headed by Mafia capo Roy DeMeo; a dangerous group linked to hundreds of murders. In Murder Machine, authors Jerry Capeci and Gene Mustain described him as a "stumblebum". He did not suffer from dyslexia like his older brother, but was thought to be considerably less acute. He managed to successfully manage a Flatlands, Brooklyn automotive repair shop on Glenwood Road in Flatlands located directly around the corner from his brother's gasoline station, body shop and auto repair center. While his brother Frederick was offbeat with his eccentricities and idiosyncrasies but competent, Richard DiNome was a "whining bumbler".
He made most of his money from grand theft auto from Joseph Scorney, a former friend and protégé of Vito Arena. Scorney would slim jim and slap hammer the cars whereupon DiNome would drive the stolen cars away to the many chop shops in Canarsie, Brooklyn. Between DiNome and Scorney, they were making $1,000–2,500 a week for their stolen car parts of luxury vehicles. He owned three cars, including a Porsche 935, and lived in a newly furnished Bensonhurst, Brooklyn highrise apartment building where he kept $25,000 hidden underneath the hollow bottom of an artificial plant, for "in case I have to buy a cop off" as he would tell his associates.
He was more enthusiastic than Scorney about hiring Vito Arena into their car theft crew but he wanted to please his brother Frederick, by helping out his old friend.[clarification needed] In the summer of 1978, Scorney, Arena and DiNome stole between four and seven cars a night. He murdered his brother's friend Joseph Scorney on September 28, 1978 for refusing to join their auto theft ring, by shooting him to death with the help of Vito Arena, Frederick and Ronald Turekian.
DiNome was found shot in the back of the head with an automatic handgun in his Gravesend, Brooklyn home along with his friends John Baida and Frederick Seiden.[239]
DiNome was shot and wounded with a shotgun as he approached the home of Michael Agri on Staten Island in June 1983. Agri was arrested for assault but the charges against him were dropped due to a lack of evidence after DiNome failed to appear in court on a number of occasions.[242]
According to fellow DeMeo crew member Pete LaFroscia, DiNome was "
Peter LaFroscia said of DiNome: "How he got mixed up with those boys [the DeMeo crew] I'll never know".[243]

Edward Grillo[edit]
Edward "Danny" Grillo (February 7, 1934 – November 14, 1978) was a member of the Gemini Lounge Crew and an associate of the Westies. After falling deeply into debt to DeMeo and other loansharks, Grillo was murdered by his own associates in the DeMeo Crew.
Grillo was born in Little Italy, Manhattan to Italian immigrants from Genoa, Liguria. In 1976, after completing a prison sentence for hijacking, Grillo was recruited by DeMeo into his crew. Grillo and DeMeo had known each other through work in the Mafia-connected Canarsie junkyards. Grillo soon became involved in the hijacking of truck cargoes to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens. Associate Dominick Montiglio, who became a government witness in 1983, described how DeMeo once asked him to temporarily store 120 stolen Smith & Wesson handguns. Grillo and other DeMeo crew members had hijacked the guns, headed to law enforcement in Finland as they were being transported to the airport. Montiglio stored the weapons for one day and then turned them over to Grillo and DeMeo.
Shortly after joining the DeMeo's crew, Grillo helped form an alliance with a group of Irish-American mobsters known as The Westies. While in prison during the early 1970s, Grillo had met James 'Jimmy' Coonan, an Irish mobster who wanted to lead the Westies. After their release, both men stayed in contact. Coonan wanted to oust Westies leader Michael 'Mickey' Spillane, but needed money to fund a rebellion. Grillo reported Coonan's predicament to DeMeo, who decided to help Coonan. The DeMeo crew and the Coonan faction were soon committing hijackings together and splitting the profits. DeMeo also loaned Coonan large sums of money to build a portfolio of loanshark customers. On May 13 of 1977, Spillane was shot to death outside of his apartment building, reportedly by Grillo and DeMeo.
With Spillane gone, Coonan then sought to eliminate Ruby Stein, a bigtime loanshark with ties to the Genovese Family. Grillo and a number of Westies owed large amounts of money to Stein and were looking to escape these obligations. Grillo decided this was a good idea and proceeded to kill Stein without the permission or knowledge of his boss DeMeo, a serious violation of mob rules. Two days after Spillane's murder, Grillo shot Stein to death in a club owned by a Westie member. The corpse was then dismembered by the Coonan faction, packaged, and deposited into the ocean. This alliance between the Gambinos and the Westies would greatly benefit the Gambino family and ultimately lead to DeMeo becoming an official family member.
By 1978, Grillo was in deep trouble with the Gambino family. Suffering from gambling and cocaine addictions, he found himself heavily in debt to DeMeo. To avoid missing his payments to DeMeo, he was constantly borrowing from other loansharks. The drugs and financial stress was apparently making Grillo act erratically. This behavior convinced DeMeo and his superior, Anthony Gaggi, that Grillo was weak and would fold under police pressure if arrested. Montiglio attempted to help Grillo, risking his own life to do it. On one occasion, Montiglio ripped up $50,000 worth of debt markers that Danny had acquired during a night of gambling at Gambino party. DeMeo confronted Montiglio about Danny's behavior, and made statements that implied Grillo did not have much time left.
On November 15, 1978 Montiglio visited the DeMeo crew's primary hangout, the Gemini Lounge in Brooklyn. Seeing crew members Chris Rosenberg, Joseph Testa and Anthony Senter outside the entrance, Montiglio asked if they had seen Grillo. Rosenberg allegedly smiled and replied, "No one will see Danny no more." Montiglio then approached DeMeo inside the Lounge, who confirmed Rosenberg's statement, claiming that "...if anybody wants to talk to (Danny) they'll have to talk to him at the Fountain Avenue dump."
Many of the DeMeo crew's victims had been dismembered and deposited at this dump. DeMeo went on to say that the crew had parked Grillo's car in the middle of the Manhattan Bridge and left the driver side door open to make it look like a suicide. During a later meeting with the Westies, DeMeo learned from Coonan that Grillo had tried to use Coonan as a front to borrow even more money from DeMeo. According to Coonan's second-in-command Mickey Featherstone, DeMeo allegedly remarked, "I wish you would've told me earlier, I would've cut him into littler pieces."
Grillo's wife later testified that on November 14, 1978, the day her husband disappeared, Grillo had received a call at home from DeMeo requesting he come to a meeting at the Gemini Lounge. Before leaving, Grillo took special care to tell his wife and children goodbye. After he was gone, his wife discovered that he had left his wallet and other personal possessions behind. A loyal crew member to the end, Grillo voluntarily went to a meeting that he may have known would be his last.
Kenneth Guarino[edit]
Kenneth F. "Kenny" Guarino (born 1950) is a pornography distributor and former Gambino family associate in Rhode Island. He created and incorporated Capital Video Corporation, a distributor of pornographic videotapes located in Cranston, in 1979 and later headed the Providence-based Imperial Distributing Company, a major distributor and adult book shop owner with retail outlets in Rhode Island and Worcester, Springfield and Boston in Massachusetts.[244] His other business ventures included a stage production at the Dunes hotel and casino in Las Vegas, and a precious metals business in the New England area. Guarino forged links with Gambino family caporegime Ettore Zappi and Patriarca family boss Raymond L. S. Patriarca. Concerned that members of other crime families would extort money from, or take over, his multimillion dollar pornography business, Guarino began paying tribute to Zappi to fend off extortion attempts and to assist Guarino with other business matters. Natale Richichi later succeeded Zappi as captain and inherited Guarino's business interests from Zappi following his retirement.[245]
On February 28, 1978, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents seized a quantity of obscene materials, including books, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers, films and prints, being transferred in a panel truck from a warehouse in Providence owned by Guarino and others for delivery to retail stores in Boston's Combat Zone.[246] Guarino was among seven people convicted by a federal court in Boston of transporting obscene matter in interstate commerce for the purpose of sale on April 1, 1981. An eighth defendant was acquitted.[247] The convicted were part of a three-firm umbrella operation, of which Guarino was the reputed mastermind, that generated $3 million annually from distributing pornographic films and literature in New England, New York and Canada. Guarino was sentenced to two concurrent two-year prison terms and a $15,000 fine on April 23, 1981.[248][249]
Guarino was charged with operating an illegal gambling enterprise in 1980 after being arrested along with forty-four others during gambling raids carried out at twelve locations throughout Rhode Island. He pleaded no contest to bookmaking charges in 1987 and was fined $250. Guarino also served three months in prison and was fined $5,000 after he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges in June 1985.[250] In 1988, Guarino and a corporation through which he bought property in Boston's red-light district were implicated in a money laundering scheme.[251]
Guarino met with Gambino boss John Gotti on at least one occasion; he, along with Natale Richichi and others, attended a restaurant in Johnston with Gotti in 1991.[250] Guarino also brokered a sitdown between Richichi and senior Patriarca members Robert DeLuca and Frank Salemme, who met in Massachusetts on December 11, 1991 to negotiate a partnership for peep shows in Boston's Combat Zone, which was controlled by the Patriarca family.[252] The meeting, in a hotel room near Logan International Airport, was recorded by an FBI covert listening device.[253]
Guarino, Natale Richichi and Los Angeles family soldier Stephen Cino were indicted in October 1992 on one count of conspiring to bribe the president of the Las Vegas stagehands union in connection with Guarino's show at the Dunes hotel and casino. In August 1994, Guarino and Richichi were indicted with three others in a superseding indictment, which alleged a conspiracy to defraud the United States government by concealing from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at least $1,728,000 that had been payed to Richichi in cash by Guarino as protection money between July 1985 and September 1995. Finally, in August 1995, Guarino and Richichi were again indicted under a second superseding indictment for both of these counts, and they were also each separately indicted for several counts of interstate transportation of obscene material through the use of a common carrier. The obscenity charges against Guarino, Natale Richichi's son Salvatore, and William Haimowitz were dismissed on September 24, 1996 after North Star Distributors – a subsidiary of South Pointe Enterprises, of which Guarino served as president – pleaded guilty to distributing obscene films in Nevada and agreed to pay a $200,000 fine.[254] On January 9, 1997, Richichi pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the government out of money that Guarino had payed him to protect his pornography business from being taken over by the Patriarca family. The following day, Guarino, as part of a plea agreement, pled guilty only to the charge of conspiracy to evade taxes. He was sentenced on April 25, 1997 to sixteen months in prison, eleven of which were served in a halfway house, and fined $250,000.[245] He was released from custody on October 2, 1998.[52] A federal court ruled on February 11, 2002 that Guarino's Capital Video Corporation could not deduct from its taxes $767,072 in legal fees paid by Guarino during the case.[255][256]
In July 1994, Guarino resigned from his role as president, chairman and director of Metro Global Media Inc. – then called South Pointe Enterprises – following an exposé by The Wall Street Journal. He returned as president in December 1995. He resigned from Metro Global Media once again, but remained a major shareholder in the company, in November 1996.[257] The company, based in Cranston, had expanded significantly that year, opening a foreign sales office in Flensburg, Germany and buying Phantasm Holdings of the Netherlands. Metro Global Media, which produced 261 pornographic films between 1995 and 1996, recorded revenues of $19.5 million for that fiscal year. Guarino was residing in a waterfront home in Cranston's Edgewood neighborhood at the time.[250]

Guarino was an executive producer of the 2007 film The Education of Charlie Banks.[263] In October 2006, he filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against the film's producer Marissa Polvino, claiming that he invested $3 million in the film only to find that no other investors were interested in the project, and that Polvino was refusing to hand over possession of the film to the editor. Polvino filed a suit in Rhode Island against Guarino for not paying her full producer fee.[264]

Ronald Jerothe[edit]
Ronald "Foxy" Jerothe (May 24, 1947 – December 12, 1974)[265] was a Gambino family associate and member of the Bergin Crew, which operated out the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club in Ozone Park, Queens. A half-Italian associate of the family from 1962 to 1970, Jerothe was a protégé of John Gotti and bodyguard for Aniello Dellacroce. He was also a close friend of Salvatore Polisi and Thomas DeSimone. Jerothe was a "stick up man" involved in hijacking, bank robbery and drug trafficking, and earned a reputation in mob circles for his swiftness during bank robberies as well as his skills at seducing women. While performing hijackings, he would keep a snub-nose pistol, usually a .38 Smith & Wesson, in the rear pocket of his pants or taped to his leg like undercover policemen. Jerothe thought up the idea to regularly use Smith & Wesson manufactured handcuffs because they were the same ones used by the New York Police Department (NYPD) which would allow handcuffed truck drivers to be released quickly.
Jerothe was killed by Lucchese family associate Thomas DeSimone over a dispute involving Jerothe's sister, whom DeSimone had been dating. DeSimone assaulted the sister following a break-up, prompting Jerothe to threated to murder him. Hearing of the threat, DeSimone went to Jerothe's Ozone Park apartment and shot him in the face at point-blank range as he answered the door on December 12, 1974. Although the Gotti brothers were angry over Jerothe's skimming of drug profits, they were willing to exact revenge as a matter of principle because DeSimone had murdered a Gambino associate without permission. Additionally, DeSimone had killed William "Billy Batts" Bentvena, a made member of the Gambino family, in a severe breach of the Mafia code of omertà.[266] According to the testimony of Gambino associate-turned-informant Joseph "Joe Dogs" Iannuzzi, John Gotti dispatched Thomas Agro to kill DeSimone after receiving permission from DeSimone's caporegime, Paul Vario. DeSimone was allegedly lured to Agro under the pretense of becoming a made man and disappeared on January 14, 1979. Agro had murdered him and thrown his weighted-down body into the sea. Agro was also responsible for killing Thomas' older brother Anthony several years earlier, and had plans to kill his brother Robert before he was incarcerated in 1985.[236]

Harvey "Chris" Rosenberg (October 6, 1950 – May 11, 1979), also known as Chris DeMeo and Christopher Rosalia,[294] was an American gangster who was member of the DeMeo crew run by Gambino crime family soldier Roy DeMeo. The gang is suspected of between 75–200 murders in the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. Following a failed narcotics deal with a Cuban drug cartel that Rosenberg stole from, DeMeo killed Rosenberg as restitution.
Chris Rosenberg grew up in Canarsie on a block dominated by Italian-Americans. Despite the Mafia rule that only full Italians could be made, or officially inducted into the organization, Rosenberg reportedly believed that his earning abilities and willingness to murder might eventually lead to his becoming a member of Cosa Nostra. He reportedly did not like his Jewish last name and preferred people call him "Chris DeMeo" instead.
Rosenberg's criminal career began at the age of 13, when he began dealing marijuana. His first arrest was in 1970 for car theft, which started out as a felony case but was reduced to a misdemeanor. He was given probation rather than jail time. He was arrested again in 1971 for possession of the drug hashish, then again in 1972 for the attempted theft of a snow plow. Both cases were dismissed.
Rosenberg was dealing in small amounts of marijuana and hashish when he first met Roy DeMeo at a Canarsie gas station in 1966. DeMeo recruited Chris to steal cars, which would then be sold off through connections DeMeo had within Canarsie junkyards. Rosenberg was also the first crew member to interact with DeMeo socially at family barbecues and get-togethers at DeMeo's house.
Between his adept car abilities as well as his fledgling drug business, Rosenberg became successful and opened his own car shop named Car Phobia Repairs, which soon became a hotspot for stolen vehicles. By 1972, Rosenberg had his friends stealing cars for him. Two of these friends were the Gemini twins, Joseph Testa and Anthony Senter, who Rosenberg would introduce to DeMeo and become two core members of the DeMeo crew. Testa and Senter, who were both full-blooded Italians, had known Rosenberg since their teenage years.
By 1974, a 23-year-old Rosenberg began selling cocaine and quaaludes, again backed by DeMeo. He acquired the Quaaludes through a pharmacist connection, as well as the cocaine, which at the time could be prescribed for medical purposes. Through this pharmacist, Chris Rosenberg and the rest of the early DeMeo crew met 22-year-old Andrei Katz, a man who became what was most likely the crew's first murder victim. When Katz was arrested due to a stolen vehicle he purchased from the crew, he blamed Rosenberg for his predicament.
The situation soon escalated to violence when Katz was pulled from his vehicle and severely beaten by two men and put in the hospital. Andrei's brother Victor later testified in court that Andrei claimed the two men were Testa and Senter. Victor also testified that while still in the hospital recovering from his injuries, Andrei swore to his brother that he would get revenge on Chris and the others.
The revenge came on November 13, 1974, when Rosenberg opened his garage door and was struck with 3 bullets fired from an automatic rifle. Rosenberg survived through sheer luck, one bullet hitting him in the lower jaw, another his right arm and a third that was aimed for his chest merely glancing off. Surviving what should have been a fatal shooting, Rosenberg was reportedly furious. His jaw was left disfigured from the bullet wound. Despite undergoing reconstructive surgery, from that point on Rosenberg wore a beard to mask the scars that resulted from this attack.
The man who had shot Rosenberg that morning was never seen but it was assumed by Rosenberg and the rest of the DeMeo Crew to be Andrei Katz. After this incident, and while Rosenberg was still in the hospital recovering from his gunshot wounds, DeMeo met with his followers and it was decided that Katz had to be murdered.
Directly taking care of Katz was considered by the men to be too much of a risk due to the back and forth violence that had already occurred. Henry Borelli, who had become involved with the crew shortly after Chris was shot, suggested that he use a woman friend of his to bait Andrei to a location where he could be abducted and then dealt with discreetly. Arriving at the woman's apartment complex expecting to take her out on a date, Andrei was forcefully abducted by Rosenberg, Borelli, Testa and Senter and taken to the meat department of a grocery store, where DeMeo was waiting.
It was this night, Friday, June 13, 1975, that the DeMeo crew is first known to have been involved with murder and dismemberment. While first-hand accounts of the incident are unavailable, information provided by crew members who cooperated with the government years later as well as the actual remains of Andrei Katz provided clues that were used by law enforcement as well as author Jerry Capeci to reconstruct the events. Andrei was stabbed multiple times in the heart with a butcher knife, presumably by Rosenberg in revenge for the shooting that had ruined his face.
After he was already dead, he was then stabbed over a dozen times in the back, again presumably by Rosenberg. Katz's body was then stripped of its clothes and dismembered, likely by DeMeo and Testa, both former butcher apprentices. After the corpse was decapitated, one of the men, presumed to be Rosenberg, crushed the head with a machine normally used to compact cardboard boxes. Because of the damage done to the remains, dental records had to be used in order to positively identify the victim as Katz.
Although the woman friend of Henry Borelli's would confess her role soon after learning about Katz's murder, she was unable to identify Rosenberg. Borelli and Testa were arrested however, and spent months in jail while waiting for trial. They would secure an acquittal in January 1976, but the case would come back to haunt the surviving members of the crew in the late 1980s, when a Federal/State task force targeted the DeMeo Crew.
The nephew of Demeo's superior Anthony Gaggi within the Gambino Family, Dominick Montiglio, later testified that he learned of the murder from Rosenberg shortly after it happened. He also testified that Rosenberg claimed Katz's murder had driven DeMeo and his crew to decide that any future conflicts would be settled in a similar manner of dismemberment to make the victim disappear.
As the 1970s continued Rosenberg, along with the rest of the DeMeo crew, would commit many more killings. The victims included suspected informants and other mobsters DeMeo and his followers were contracted to kill. Dominick Montiglio, who visited DeMeo frequently to pick up payments for Anthony Gaggi, said in an interview that if the crew didn't kill at least three people a week, they would be depressed. Some were shot to death and left to be found, but the majority of murders committed by the crew followed what came to be known as the "Gemini Method", named so because the main location where the murders took place was the Gemini Lounge, the headquarters of the DeMeo crew through much of the late 1970s.
The Gemini Method usually consisted of the victim entering the apartment in back of the Lounge, dubbed 'The Clubhouse' by crew members. At this point, a crew member (almost always Roy DeMeo according to crew member turned government witness Frederick DiNome) would approach the victim with a silenced pistol and shoot them in the head, then wrap a towel around the head wound like a turban in order to prevent blood from pouring out. Immediately after, another crew member would stab the victim in the heart in order to prevent any more blood from pumping out of the gunshot wound.
By then the victim would usually be dead, at which point the corpse would be dragged into a bathtub and hung over it for a short period of time. This was done so that the corpse would bleed out and the remaining blood would congeal, making the following step, the dismemberment of the victim, as clean as possible. The body parts would be put into bags, boxed and then sent off to Brooklyn's Fountain Avenue Dump among other places.
Crew members who became government witnesses all contend that during the time period that Rosenberg was alive, he was always the crew member who stabbed the victims after they had been shot in the head. These same witnesses also claim that Rosenberg usually did the stabbings, as well as the subsequent dismembering of the body, in his boxer shorts or underwear in order to avoid staining the expensive clothes he wore.
Other victims murdered by the crew had their bodies either left where they were killed or dumped in nearby locations. They were killed for various reasons, usually involving cooperation with law enforcement or the drug trade, which Rosenberg was heavily involved in by the mid-to-late 70s. One victim, Kevin Guelli, had been given cocaine by Rosenberg to sell off to customers Guelli claimed he had available. When Rosenberg demanded payment shortly after giving him the drugs to sell, Guelli claimed someone had robbed his house and stolen the product. Rosenberg allegedly shot him dead on the spot. Another man was found shot to death and dumped into the trunk of a car allegedly after attempting to rip Rosenberg off in a marijuana deal.
By the late 1970s, Rosenberg's continued involvement in the drug trade as well as his business with the DeMeo Crew had given him a prosperous lifestyle. He was living in an affluent neighborhood and when not working was training for his pilot's license. He also owned a number of businesses, including a pizzeria and his body shop. His heavy involvement in drug trafficking included importing marijuana from Colombia and dealing in large quantities of cocaine. He was Roy DeMeo's second-in-command and when conducting drug deals sometimes referred to himself as "Chris DeMeo". Roy had become somewhat of a father figure to Rosenberg.
In 1979 he visited Florida to set up a cocaine deal with a loanshark customer of Roy DeMeo's who had entered the drug business in an attempt to pay off his debts. This man, Charles Padnick, was acquainted with a Cuban man named William Serrano. Serrano had connections with two Cuban drug merchants known only as "Pepon" and "El Negro". He was informed by Padnick that a group of Italians were interested in purchasing a large quantity of cocaine. After he met with Rosenberg, who introduced himself as Chris DeMeo, Serrano told his Cuban associates and a deal was set up, although Rosenberg was never informed of Serrano's source of the drugs.
A group of four, comprising Charles Padnick and William Serrano as well as the cousin and girlfriend of Serrano's Cuban drug connection "El Negro" flew to New York to facilitate the deal. Within hours of landing, they were shot to death, dismembered and disposed of by Rosenberg and other members of the DeMeo crew. That same night Rosenberg visited a hospital with gunshot wounds on his hand and on the side of his head, suggesting that the group may have tried to fight back before being killed. When the mysterious "El Negro" did not receive a phone call from his cousin or girlfriend that night to ensure that the sale had been completed, he contacted Charles Padnick's son Jamie in an attempt to get more information. Jamie Padnick flew to New York shortly after and disappeared as well after being murdered and dismembered by Rosenberg and his fellow crew members.
With the only information available being the location of New York City and the name "Chris DeMeo", the Cubans had contacts there inquire and eventually the situation led to Roy DeMeo and the Gambino family. Dominick Montiglio, the nephew of DeMeo's superior Anthony Gaggi, became a government witness in 1983 and claims that he was in charge of delivering messages back and forth between the Cubans' contact in New York and the Gambinos. "El Negro" stated that if Chris Rosenberg were murdered, there would be no further conflict. The murder would have to be in the newspapers, otherwise they would not believe it had actually occurred. After being ordered to kill Rosenberg by his superiors, DeMeo stalled for a number of weeks, reportedly due to the close relationship he and Rosenberg had. After a period of inaction on the part of the Gambinos, the Cuban drug lord sent a group of enforcers to New York and threatened violence if Rosenberg was not murdered soon.
During this situation between the Gambino family and the Cuban cartel, DeMeo committed his most public murder after mistaking a man for a Cuban assassin. The victim, Dominick Ragucci, was actually a 19-year-old paying his way through college by selling vacuum cleaners door to door. After DeMeo saw him parked in front of his house, he mistook him for a Cuban hitman and ended up pursuing the young man in a car chase that ended with Ragucci being shot to death by DeMeo after his vehicle became too damaged to continue driving. After this Anthony Gaggi met with DeMeo and ordered him to stop stalling and kill Rosenberg before there were any more innocent victims.
Rosenberg was reportedly never informed about the Cuban situation and thus had no indication that his life was in danger. On May 11, 1979, he went to the regular nightly meeting with DeMeo and crew. As he sat at the table with his associates, DeMeo pulled a pistol out of a brown bag sitting on the table and shot Rosenberg in the head, wounding but not killing him. When Rosenberg got up off the floor and stumbled onto one knee, Anthony Senter stood and shot him four more times in the head.
Rosenberg's body was then placed in his car, which was driven and left parked on a street near the Gateway National Recreation Area in New York City. Crew member Frederick DiNome then drove by the vehicle while Henry Borelli raked it with machine gun fire, to ensure the murder was a blatant enough assassination to guarantee that it would be mentioned in the local newspaper. This gave the Cubans proof of the killing and defused the situation. Witnesses claim that for years afterward DeMeo expressed genuine regret at having to kill Rosenberg.
Members of the DeMeo crew were suspects in Rosenberg's murder but there was not enough evidence to charge them. Years later however, the murder would be among many other charges in a 1984 indictment against the surviving crew members after cooperating witnesses for the government provided a great deal of information on the crew's activities. At the trial in 1988, testimony was given by Dominick Montiglio and Vito Arena linking the remnants of the DeMeo crew with Rosenberg's murder. In 1989 the defendants were convicted of all charges and Joseph Testa and Anthony Senter, the only core DeMeo Crew members who had not been murdered or already imprisoned, were sentenced to life in prison.

Joseph Scorney[edit]
Joseph "Joey" Scorney (c. 1953 Canarsie, Brooklyn - September 28, 1978 Flatlands, Brooklyn) was an Irish-American who was involved in grand theft auto. He turned down becoming a mob associate/car thief for Gambino crime family soldier Roy DeMeo because he wanted to avoid being involved with the mafia, and this led to his murder by Roy DeMeo associates Vito Arena and Ritchie DiNome. The DeMeo crew consisted of car thieves, drug dealers and murderers suspected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of somewhere between 75-200 murders from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.
Vito Arena was a close childhood friend of Scorney who remembered him as "a kid who liked to joyride and hang out at gas stations." He became prolific among Roy's gang of car thieves who was able to disable the typical car's security system and drive away within 30 to 40 seconds. Although he worked for Roy DeMeo, it was strictly "freelance" stating to Richard DiNome that he would never work for "the Mafia guys." A month after his old friend Vito Arena bumped into him on the street, he joined Richard and Scorney's grand theft auto chop shop operation.
During the summer of 1978, Frederick, Vito and Scorney took an estimated four to seven cars a night. Richard occasionally disputed with Scorney about acting as the team's "break and enter" man for the vehicles but their relationship remained steady. He was making an estimated $1500 and $2500 a week. He drove a $35,000 Porsche Turbo Carrera including two other brand new luxury cars and lived in a newly furnished highrise apartment in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn where he told criminal associates he hid $25,000 in the base of an artificial plant for bribing police.
On September 28, 1978 Joseph Scorney was murdered, although the motives never became clear to the participants in the murder, or later on to the defense team when Arena was questioned at the 1985 Mafia Commission Trial. Arena and Richard stuffed Scorney's body into a 50-gallon oil barrel and filled it with cement and rolled it off a pier in Center Moriches, New York. The body was recovered in 1982. In 1985 Vito Arena was sentenced to eighteen years for the murder of Scorney.

Chucky Smith[edit]
"Fat" Chucky Smith was an associate who operated pornography establishments in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York City in conjunction with Richard Basciano, Roy DeMeo, Robert DiBernardo, Richard Kuklinski and Anthony Trombetta in the late 1970s and early 1980s.[236] Smith also collaborated with Lucchese family associates Jimmy Burke, Thomas DeSimone and Henry Hill, as well as Kuklinski, in trafficking stolen property, pornography, narcotics and guns.[235]
Albert Somma[edit]
Albert "Albie" Somma (July 15, 1943 – September 24, 1982)[296] was an associate. A resident of Smithtown, Long Island, he was among ten people indicted on gambling charges on October 26, 1974 after a three-month investigation by the Nassau County District Attorney's Office into a Long Beach-based bookmaking operation which reportedly had ties to organized crime in New York City, Las Vegas and Cleveland, and grossed $30 million annually in sports bets.[297] Somma was alleged to be the head of the gambling ring.[298]
Somma was found dead on October 18, 1982 in a clearing surrounded by a wooded area on the highway median of the Adirondack Northway in Queensbury, killed by gunshot wounds to the head and back. Police theorized that he was killed on September 24, the day of his release from the Adirondack Correctional Facility in Ray Brook, where he had served a sentence for a loansharking conviction. Somma's cousin, Patrick M.Boccio Jr., was arrested on October 23 and charged with second-degree conspiracy to commit murder. The indictment was dismissed by Warren County judge G. Thomas Moynihan Jr. on August 25, 1983.[299] Additionally, Gambino family soldier Roy DeMeo was also a suspect in the killing. Shortly before beginning his prison sentence, Somma had brought accusations of drug dealing against the DeMeo crew, resulting in DeMeo being summoned and questioned by the family leadership.[300]

Anthony Trombetta[edit]
Anthony "Tony" Trombetta (July 11, 1943 – September 9, 2014) was an associate who operated pornography establishments in Philadelphia. Trombetta was raised in South Philadelphia and was the lead singer in the 1960s doo-wop group Rick & the Masters before embarking on a career in business.[301] He entered the city's pornography rackets in 1970 after a company he owned in Rochester, New York went bankrupt. Trombetta operated numerous companies which were subsidiaries of Robert DiBernardo's Star Distributors.[302] Several of his shops specialized in bestiality and child pornography.[303] Trombetta was convicted on federal charges of transporting women across state lines for prostitution in 1975.[304] The Meese Report, published in July 1986, named him as the largest pornography dealer in the Philadelphia–South New Jersey area and a Gambino family associate.[305] The last adult movie theater owned by Trombetta closed in December 2012 as a result of a dispute between Trombetta and his landlord, Richard Basciano.[306] In February 2013, he and Basciano sold the former site of the theater and two other properties on Market Street for $2 million.[307] Trombetta lived in Washington Township, New Jersey in later life and died of heart failure aged seventy-one on September 9, 2014.[308]

Frederick R. DiNome a.k.a. "Broadway Freddy" a.k.a. Broadway Freddy DiName (December 18, 1940 Pigtown, Brooklyn - February 11, 1986 Huntington Place, San Antonio, Texas) was a professional drag racer and a member of the DeMeo crew, headed by Gambino soldier Roy DeMeo. He later became a government witness and testified against many Gambino crime family members.
Frederick was one of three brothers born to Italian-American emigrants in Canarsie, Brooklyn. He spelled his name one way, but wrote it another, -D-I-N-A-M-E although this may have been unintentional because he had never learned how to write anything but his name, and he did it in more of a scrawl. He was born twelve days before Roy DeMeo. His mother died in 1951 when Frederick was 16, around the same time as Roy Demeo's brother "Chubby" was killed serving in the military in the Korean War. His brother Richard worked for a chop shop in Staten Island stealing cars. DiNome followed him into organized crime and became a member of the DiMeo crew led by Roy DeMeo. Albert DeMeo described Frederick in For the Sins of My Father as, "...A husky guy about five feet, nine inches, a little shorter than my father, and every inch of him was covered in grease. He seemed to exude engine grease from his pores. Freddy had dirty blond hair, a lopsided nose, and tattoos covering both arms. His teeth were stained and crooked, and his fingernails were filthy." In his biography, Albert DeMeo writes that his father had "taken [Albert] by Freddy's house to play with Freddy's children while he and Freddy talked some business." He commented about Frederick's house, "The house was set on nearly two acres, and Freddy's backyard was like a Hot Wheels racetrack. He kept race cars and motorbikes there, and he promised that as soon as [Albert] was big enough, he'd let [him] ride on one of the bikes. He also had a basement filled to the brim with electronic equipment. Hundreds of televisions, VCRS, stereos covered his basement in stacks, still in their boxes." He was a fourth grade drop out. Roy DeMeo gave him cash to have the dental work repaired and to purchase a new wardrobe. He suffered from an undiagnosed case of dyslexia which made him an outsider among the other children in the neighborhood. He was a close friend of fellow DeMeo crew mob associate Peter LaFroscia. He was involved in the murder of car thief and mob associate Joseph Scorney.
He was born and raised in the same neighborhood as Chris Rosenberg, Anthony Senter, Joseph Testa, and Henry Borelli, who would all later become associates in the crew of Roy DeMeo. He invested the money from his car theft operation and drag racing career and bought a gas station and an automobile body shop and repair business which he named "Broadway Freddy's Diagnostic Center" located at 4214 Glenwood Road. Although his car repair business was successful he was usually broke. He had borrowed money from his friend Roy DeMeo since 1971. He did not like working with fellow Gemini crew member Henry Borelli because Borelli had a laid back attitude, showed up late at his automotive center to steal cars and complained about his workload, stealing seven to ten cars a day. Car ring mob associate Abdullah Hassan later complained directly to Roy DeMeo that someone was stealing the radios from the cars before they were shipped off to Kuwait. Roy DeMeo would personally instruct and mentor Frederick in the Gemini method of human dismemberment following the murders of Khaled Daoud and Ronald Falcaro. Freddy had his auto body used as the murder site of Khaled Doud, Ronald Falcaro, Charles Mongitore, Daniel Scaturo and John Burton. Henry Borelli and Vito Arena who were present during the murders and assisted in the dismemberment would later state that in court they witnessed Frederick cut off Falcaro's genitalia and stick it in the mouth of his severed head.
In 1971 he was filing for divorce and fighting with his ex-wife over custody of his son and namesake, Frederick Jr., and needed $3,000 to pay off the gasoline supplier of his automotive center. He would later remarry in September 1977. Frederick associated with both the Lucchese crime family's Clyde Brooks and Paul Vario, but due to his reputation for being erratic and infantile, he was denied becoming a made man. He moved to Long Island and was granted full custody of his son.
DiNome's eccentricities were viewed poorly by other mobsters, such as his owning a pet monkey that he housed at the garage named "Susie" which he trained to pump gas at his fueling station. He frequently smoked marijuana, but hid this from his friend Roy DeMeo who openly disapproved of any indulgence in illegal narcotics.
DiNome would act as chauffeur to Roy DeMeo, and DeMeo had him help out in transport truck hijackings from John F. Kennedy International Airport. Although Freddy was never able to get his driver's license because of his dyslexia he was said to be a capable chauffeur because he never forgot where a certain address was after someone directed him to the location. After moving to Long Island during a heated domestic dispute with a neighbor he snatched the neighbor's dog and decapitated it and then left it on the man's porch. He introduced Vito Arena into the DeMeo crew.
Freddy began his professional drag racing career in 1967 after building a racecar that he financed by selling stolen Volkswagens. His racing pseudonym was "'Broadway Freddy' DeName". Late night television commercials promoted his appearances at local and national racetracks and he was making $100,000 a year. He raced almost exclusively on the East Coast, at Madison Township Raceway Park, Englishtown, New Jersey; Atco Raceway, Atco, New Jersey; New York National Speedway on Long Island, New York; Lebanon Valley Speedway near West Lebanon, New York; New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire; Maryland International Raceway at Budds Creek, Maryland; and at Richmond International Raceway in Henrico County, Virginia. He raced some in southern California during the winter of 1968 or '69, notably at Lions Drag Strip in Wilmington (Long Beach). After he sold his fuel dragster, DiNome switched to Funny Car with a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro that ran at most twelve to fifteen races a season. After his Camaro, DiNome raced a 1972 Ford Mustang the "Motion Performnance Fugitive", a Chevrolet Monza and a 1976 Buick Skyhawk that he called "Saturday Night Fever", the name taken from the movie starring John Travolta. Frederick never won a major race. He competed once or twice at the NHRA Summernationals, the UHRA (United Hot Rod Association) Summer Nationals, the New England Funny Car Nationals at New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire and some of the Don Garlits' PRO (Professional Racers Organization) races of the mid-1970s. Except for the UHRA shows at New York National and the Epping race he never qualified for any of those races.
In 1976, his busiest season, he raced ten times: his first race was at the Car (magazine) event at Atco where he lost to Roy Harris driving Gus Wunsch's "Brutus" Mustang II. His last race was at the Lakeland International Raceway, now the USA International Raceway in Lakeland, Florida, for the Don Garlits PRO race, where he did not qualify for entry into the Gatornationals with an 8.10-seconds run. His best run of the season was a 6.91, but at that time he had future International Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Harlan Thompson behind the wheel. Thompson drove two rounds before losing to Gary Burgin. He stayed on as an owner in 1977, with Thompson as the main driver.
In 1978, Thompson competed in just three events. In his first race in 1978 at an eight-car show at Englishtown, New Jersey, he ran a 6.69 which made him a runner-up to Jimmy King in the King & Marshall Chevrolet Monza. Roy DeMeo, his cousin Joseph Guglielmo and Albert DeMeo attended his races.
After a near fatal car crash during one of his races, his drag racing career floundered before he finally gave it up for good to pursue a career in organized crime. Roy DeMeo, who was at the near fatal race in the stands, said about the horrifying incident, "I went to watch Freddy once and he crashed. He climbs out of the car and he's on fire. He looks like an astronaut who has crash landed. The firemen are hosing him down, but he looks up at me in the stands and begins to smile and wave like some kids were squirting him by the pool. Don't tell me Freddy is crazy. I know he is fucking nuts."
DiNome reportedly committed suicide in 1986.[330]

Andrei Katz[edit]
Andrei Katz (1952 – June 13, 1975) was a Jewish-Romanian immigrant living in New York City in the 1970s, where through auto theft and drug dealing he became involved with the Gemini Lounge Crew in Canarsie, Brooklyn, and became their first known murder victim.[332] His parents, both concentration camp survivors, had immigrated to New York City in 1956 with Andrei, who was four years old at the time, and settled in Brooklyn. Andrei had a younger brother by the name of Victor.
In January 1975, Katz visited the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office and voluntarily provided them information that Chris Rosenberg was heavily involved in auto theft.[333] Roy DeMeo learned about the meeting immediately after it happened from an Auto Crimes detective on his payroll. Roy ordered DeMeo crew associate Henry Borelli to contact a female acquaintance, Babette Judith Questel, about being used as bait.[334] In May, Andrei appeared before a Brooklyn grand jury and divulged what he knew about the DeMeo crew's illegal activities. In June 1975, Questel was used to successfully lure Katz to her apartment complex for what he thought was a date, where upon arrival he was immediately abducted by members of the DeMeo crew.[334] He was then taken to the meat department of a supermarket in Queens, where he was stabbed multiple times in the heart and then the back by a butcher knife.[335] After being decapitated, Katz's head was then crushed when it was put through a machine normally used for compacting cardboard boxes. The body parts were wrapped in plastic bags and then deposited into the supermarket's dumpster, where they were discovered days later when a pedestrian walking his dog spotted one of Katz's legs lying on a curb near the store.[336] The police reported to the press that a grisly, brutal killing had occurred, but that was the extent of the information given. The body was identified as that of Andrei Katz two days later through the use of dental records.[337]

The Baltimore Crew was an Italian American organized crime group that ultimately became a faction of the Gambino crime family operating in the port city of Baltimore, Maryland from approximately 1923 until 1990. Originally an independent organization led by the Corbi family, Frank Scalice of the New York-based Gambino family installed Luigi Morici as the reigning caporegime over the area around 1951. Throughout most of its existence, the Baltimore cosca was functionally headed by the Corbi family: Vito, and then his sons; Antonio, Pasquale and Frank.
History[edit]
Rule of the Corbi family[edit]
The Calabrian-born Vito Corbi (1866–1929) was a leading member of the Famiglia Vagabonda, a small criminal organization that operated several legitimate businesses as well as bootlegging and Black Hand extortion rackets in the Fairmont–Clarksburg area of West Virginia during the early Prohibition era. Other members of this group included Vito's eldest son Pasquale ("Patsy"; 1894–1955) and Vincenzo "Jim" Urso (1883–1950). In March 1923, nine members of the gang, including Pasquale Corbi, were charged with twelve murders and series of dynamitings carried out in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland.[3] Pasquale Corbi was sentenced to life imprisonment the following month for the January 1922 murder of local barber Francesco "Frank Naples" Napolitano, a reputed Camorra member.[4][5] Vito Corbi and Vincenzo Urso avoided prosecution as they had moved to Baltimore and Canada, respectively, prior to the investigation. Settling in Baltimore, Vito Corbi led the city's Calabrian mafia until his death in 1929. Pasquale Corbi's prison sentence was commuted to eighteen years and he was paroled in 1932, at which time he joined his family in Baltimore. Paquale Corbi became the leader of the group, with his brother Frank as his chief lieutenant. The Corbi clan initially acted independently from any Mafia crime families, but circa 1951 Albert Anastasia charged Frank Scalice with overseeing the formation of a faction of the future Gambino crime family in Baltimore. Scalice sent a contingent of New York-based gangsters to the city and installed Luigi Morici as the reigning caporegime over the area. Morici also recruited a number of local Sicilian and Calabrian criminals, including the Corbis, into his crew. The Corbi family acquiesced to the Gambino relationship but maintained local leadership, simply answering to and accessing support from Morici and his New York Gambino connections.[2]
Under Gambino leadership[edit]
The Baltimore Crew was involved primarily in illegal gambling and loan sharking, and also partnered with or extorted local Jewish gangsters, who were the dominant powers in the city's underworld.[6] The crew's membership consisted of approximately twelve-to-fifteen made men and numerous associates at its peak strength during the 1950s and 1960s.[2] The Baltimore Crew was suspected in the murders of Antonio "Tony" Messina and Salvatore "Big Sam" Zannino; Messina was found shot dead in the trunk of a car on June 23, 1952 and Zannino disappeared around the same time.[7] According to an informant, both killings were carried out on the orders of Albert Anastasia, and that Baltimore Crew member Frank Malvaso participated in Messina's murder.[6] In 1966, Luigi Morici stepped down from the role of capo due to ill health.[5] During this time, the crew was put under the management of the then-captain Joseph N. Gallo, who had became Baltimore's point of contact with the family's administration following Scalice's death in 1957. Frank Corbi assumed the position of acting leader of the Baltimore operation, reporting directly to Gallo. Eventually, Corbi was promoted to official captain of the crew.
By the 1980s most of the membership had died or retired, and with Corbi in his 80s and inactive, the regime became extinct.[5] The presence of the Baltimore Crew officially ended with Corbi's death in 1990.[2]

California[edit]
In an indictment that reads like a script for the violent television drama Sons of Anarchy, federal prosecutors on Monday charged 11 members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang with wreaking death and destruction in California over the past 10 years.
Members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang in Sonoma County, a scenic area of Northern California more often associated with posh wine tours, carried out attacks against rival gang members and anyone who disrespected a Hells Angel member or broke any of gang rules, federal prosecutors said.
The gang members kept a massive armory of shotguns, rifles, brass knuckles, a "homemade mace-type weapon" and a large number of knives—and back in 2007 they used mortgage fraud to obtain a home where they established an indoor marijuana farm, according to the indictment.
The most serious crime, however, took place when Jonathan "Jon Jon" Nelson, the president of the Sonoma County chapter of the Hells Angels, told an unnamed victim to meet with Brian Wendt, the president of the Fresno County chapter of the Hells Angels—with Wendt then murdering the victim, the indictment states.
Other crimes laid against the gang members include drug trafficking, assault, robbery, illegal guns and witness intimidation.
"This week we have taken a significant step toward bringing to justice an alleged conspiracy whose aim has been to commit violent crimes," U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch, of the Northern District of California, said in a statement Monday.
Another Hells Angels member sexually assaulted someone identified only as "Victim 6" last year, threatening during the attack to hurt Victim 6's family if they reported the assault.
NEWSWEEK SUBSCRIPTION OFFERS > RELATED STORIES Indictment Shows Hell's Angels Riding On U.S. Government Arrests Hundreds Of MS-13 Gang Members FBI: Bloods Gang Leader Ronald Herron Sentenced to Life While the Hells Angels are sometimes thought to be extinct or remnants of the 1960s counterculture movement, recent arrests—such as the arrest of six Hells Angels near New York City in March—show they are still active. There are about 800 Hells Angels members in the U.S., spread over 92 chapters in 27 states and up to 2,500 worldwide, the U.S. Department of Justice said earlier this year.
The indictment also revealed some of the inner workings of the Sonoma County chapter of the Hells Angels.
Becoming a member of the gang is a formal process, with the hopeful member first serving as a "hangaround" who performs menial tasks and tries to gain the respect of full members. The next stage in the process is to become a "prospect," at which point the prospective member can attend Hells Angels meetings, which are called "church."
"On motorcycle trips by the chapter, or 'runs,' they are expected to hold firearms," the indictment states. "A person generally is a prospect for a year before being considered for full membership."
The Hells Angels gang is intensely image-conscious and tries to frame arrests like the ones announced Monday as "a few bad apples" and not connected to the gang, says Julian Sher, a Canadian investigative journalist who has written books about motorcycle gangs, tells Newsweek. "The Hells Angels care more about their image than any other crime group," says Sher.
The Hells Angels charged Monday face up to life in prison if convicted on the top conspiracy charge.

Two Hells Angels members, Russell J. Kutzer and Bridgeport chapter president Donald Meredith, were shot and stabbed to death when two men, one armed with a handgun, attacked the pair after entering a café in Lakeview, Bridgeport after midnight on October 5, 1977.[7] An autopsy report showed Meredith and Kutzer attempted to flee after they were shot but were caught and stabbed. Kutzer, who was out on $50,000 bail while awaiting a manslaughter trial in the May 2, 1975 beating death of José Sosa, had his head nearly severed from his body. A suspect in the double murder surrendered to authorities in Chicago, Illinois upon the urging of his family the same day.[8] Santos W. Pagán was charged on December 5 with two counts of manslaughter in the first degree.[9]

Daniel Bifield was arrested when state authorities raided a Hells Angels clubhouse in the Bronx, New York in February 1980 in a search for weapons used in the murder of Genovese crime family mobster Thomas "Tommy the Blond" Vastano, who was shot dead in Stratford on January 28. Although shotguns, rifles, handguns, brass knuckles and plastic explosives were seized in the raid, no weapons linked to the killing were retrieved.[10] At the time of his death, Vastano was under subpoena to testify before a federal grand jury about gambling activities in New Haven and Bridgeport.[11][12] Authorities investigating his murder suspected that the Hells Angels were contracted by Mafia figures to carry out the execution.[13]
Thomas Anthony Jacheo, a former Huns MC member and a candidate for membership in the Hells Angels, was charged with two counts of felony murder in the homicides of jewelry store owner John Gulbenkian and his employee Joseph Ourfalian, who were killed in a shootout at Gulbenkian's store in Bridgeport on August 13, 1981.[14] Jacheo's alleged accomplice and fellow motorcycle gang member Robert Erff was also killed in the shooting when Gulbenkian returned fire with a handgun, with one bullet piercing a seam in a bulletproof vest worn by Erff and lodging close to his heart. [15] Jacheo allegedly drove Erff to Bridgeport Hospital, where he died of internal bleeding, before being arrested the following day.[16] According to prosecutors, Gulbenkian's death was the result of a murder contract that had been put on his life after he began cooperating with law enforcement authorities.[17] He had been charged with selling cocaine to an undercover narcotics detective after being arrested on January 24, and he subsequently figured in an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigation that resulted in the indictment of six men from the Bridgeport area.[18] Jacheo, a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, died at the age of 50 on June 8, 2003.[19]
Four men – including New Rochelle, New York Hells Angels chapter member Kevin Lubic – were arrested in February 2011 and indicted on conspiracy charges by a federal grand jury on March 15 in connection to an interstate drug network, which allegedly distributed more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana in Greater Danbury over a four-year period beginning in 2007.[20] The narcotics ring, which was under the protection of corrupt officers in the New Milford and Wilton police departments according to prosecutors, was ultimately dismantled after a five-year investigation by the Danbury Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).[21] Lubic joined the enterprise upon his release from custody in February 2007 after serving a 77-month federal prison sentence for conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana in New York, and was the network's connection to Bonnano crime family associate Richard Sciaccetano, who was the primary source of supply.[22] Lubic pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana on April 29, 2013 after accepting a deal from federal prosecutors for a sentence of up to 37 months in prison and fines up to $50,000.[23] His sentencing was delayed indefinitely, however, until the expiration of a five-year probation period stemming from a previous drug conviction.[24] The other defendants in the case – Sciacchetano, Mark Mansa and Glenn Wagner – were sentenced to 37,[25] 46[26] and 62[27] months' imprisonment, respectively, in June and July 2012.

Indiana[edit]
Prior to the foundation of a Hells Angels presence in Indiana, the club was suspected by federal authorities of supplying the state's Hell's Henchmen and Invaders motorcycle gangs with methamphetamine.[31] When the Outlaws attempted to coerce the Hell's Henchmen into "patching over", the Henchmen held a meeting with the Hells Angels in Indiana and agreed to "prospect" for the Angels instead.[32] On December 2, 1994, the Hell's Henchmen chapter in South Bend, along with their chapters in Chicago and Rockford, Illinois, joined the Hells Angels.[33] After becoming targets of the Outlaws, the Invaders disbanded, with some members joining the Hells Angels and the rest retiring from crime.[34]
The HAMC formed its first Indiana chapter in South Bend in 1994 as part of the club's expansion into Indiana and Illinois, which resulted in a war with the Outlaws. The conflict ended with a truce in 1996.[35]

While travelling via motorcycle to the Hells Angels' annual rally in Yankton, South Dakota on August 14, 1975, three club members – James M. "Beetle" Bailey, Jr. and Richard Vesey of the Cleveland, Ohio chapter, and Paul "Chip" Philemon from North Carolina – were fired upon by at least two gunmen who were hidden in an embankment beneath an overpass on Interstate 80 near Colfax. Bailey was killed after being shot in the neck, and Vesey was wounded in the arm. According to police, one assailant fired a shotgun and another a .38 caliber or .357 Magnum revolver. No motive was established for the shooting and no suspects were apprehended.[36] The murder remains a cold case.[37] Philemon was murdered at Bailey's funeral in Cleveland after the phone number of a member of the Outlaws, a club with which the Hells Angels were in a state of conflict, was allegedly found in his wallet.[38] After turning government witness in November 1981, Cleveland Hells Angels chapter vice-president Clarence Addie "Butch" Crouch testified that, before his death, chapter treasurer Bailey was building evidence of financial fraud against other members using receipts he had accumulated and kept in his wallet, and that Bailey was killed by HAMC officers in order to prevent him handing over the receipts to senior Hells Angels at the national meeting.[39]
Kentucky[edit]
The Hells Angels' chapter in Fulton was established on 29 June 1985.[33]
John Cleve Webb, president of the Hells Angels' Anchorage, Alaska chapter, was fatally shot by two Outlaws outside a biker bar in Jefferson County on August 12, 1986. Outlaws member Leonard "Cool Ray" Mullen later pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in Webb's death.[40] The Anchorage and Oakland, California chapters then began conspiring to kill members of the Outlaws in retribution. Unknown to them, Anchorage chapter officer Anthony Tait – who devised a fictional plot to carry out a retaliatory bombing of an Outlaws clubhouse in Chicago, Illinois – was acting as a paid informant for the FBI.[41] Tait aided the FBI in a two-year investigation by travelling the country at government expense and meeting with various Hells Angels members, making recorded purchases of weapons, explosives and drugs while wearing a wire. By utilizing the informant and undercover agents, the FBI acquired approximately $1.6 million of cocaine and methamphetamine, over twenty pounds of high explosives, three automatic weapons and two silencers from the club.[42] The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation Operation CACUS culminated with the arrests of 38 HAMC members in Kentucky and four other states on November 10, 1987.[31][43] Ten Alaskan and Californian Angels were extradited to Louisville to face charges of conspiring to transport firearms and explosives across state lines in order to kill Outlaws members.[44] On October 28, 1988, Sonny Barger and Michael O'Farrell – Oakland chapter president and vice-president, respectively – were convicted of conspiracy,[45] while Lawrence Russell Hagel, Gerald G. Protzman and Edward Floyd Hubert – Webb's successor as Anchorage chapter president – were convicted of the misdemeanor charge of converting a government intelligence manual for their use. Five others were acquitted.[46] A bounty of $1 million was allegedly put on Tait's life.[47]

Maryland[edit]
In March 1991, a member of the Accretes MC in Anne Arundel County was arrested and charged with trafficking large quantities of methamphetamine as part of a 29-count indictment against the biker and three others, alleging the purchase of the drug from the Hells Angels in California and the Pagans in Ohio. The Accretes, in turn, allegedly distributed methamphetamine to five local motorcycle gangs.[31]
The HAMC formed a prospect chapter in North Beach in 2002.[35]
The Baltimore chapter received full colors in August 2004.[35]

Minnesota[edit]
The Hells Angels were established in Minnesota on September 18, 1982 with a chapter in Minneapolis.[33]
A Hells Angels biker and several members of traditional organized crime groups were convicted in a major methamphetamine distribution case in 1989 and 1990.[49]
https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca8/18-2685/18-2685-2019-08-13.html
On the orders of Outlaws international president Harry "Taco" Bowman in 1993, a hit squad consisting of members of the Outlaws' Milwaukee and Janesville chapters in the neighboring state of Wisconsin travelled to Minnesota and carried out surveillance on Minneapolis Hells Angels chapter president Patrick Matter ahead of a planned assassination. The Outlaws were unsuccessful in carrying out the killing, however. Several months later, in December 1993, Outlaws bikers attempted a car bomb attack on Matter; the bomb exploded prematurely, destroying Matter's truck and injuring the man who planted the explosive.[50]
Nevada[edit]
The Hells Angels' first chapter in Nevada was founded in Reno in 1998.[35]
New York[edit]
Numerous police and international intelligence agencies classify the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) as a motorcycle gang and contend that members carry out widespread violent crimes, including drug dealing, trafficking in stolen goods, gunrunning, extortion, and prostitution rings.[51][52] Members of the organization have continuously asserted that they are only a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who have joined to ride motorcycles together, to organize social events such as group road trips, fundraisers, parties, and motorcycle rallies, and that any crimes are the responsibility of the individuals who carried them out and not the club as a whole.[53][54]
The HAMC founded its first chapters in New York state on December 5, 1969 by "patching over" the Aliens motorcycle gang of New York City and the Hackers biker club in Rochester.[55][56] The New York City charter is among the club's largest,[57] and, along with the Cleveland, Ohio chapter, is responsible for coordinating all Hells Angels activities in the Eastern United States as well as those of chapters in Canada and Europe.[58] With additional chapters in New Rochelle[59] and Troy,[60] the club has a presence in the Hudson Valley,[61] as well as in Suffolk County on Long Island.[62][63]
The Hells Angels have formed links with the Gambino and Genovese crime families in New York City and the Bufalino crime family in Western New York, providing security, transportation in narcotics transactions and contract killings for the Mafia in exchange for drugs.[64][65] The U.S. Customs Service documented cases in which the New York Hells Angels partnered the Medellín Cartel in the smuggling of cocaine.[64] The club also distributes methamphetamine in the state and smuggles marijuana into the United States from Canada through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.[66]
Gang wars[edit]
Outlaws[edit]
The decades-long conflict between the Hells Angels and the Outlaws reportedly originated from a personal feud between two members of the Aliens biker gang in 1969, when the wife of Sandy Alexander was allegedly raped by fellow club member Peter "Greased Lightning" Rogers while Alexander was in California seeking permission from HAMC leader Sonny Barger to establish a Hells Angels chapter in Manhattan.[67][68] Rogers subsequently fled to Chicago and joined the Outlaws, becoming a senior member of the club. Alexander, meanwhile, also rose through the Hells Angels' hierarchy to a position of influence, second only to Barger.[69] At a party in New York City on December 31, 1973, Rogers was assaulted by two Hells Angels who seized and forcibly held him until Alexander arrived. Rogers was subsequently beaten and almost killed by Alexander in a one-on-one fight.[70][71] In retaliation for the New Year's Eve incident, South Florida Outlaws chapter president James "Big Jim" Nolan allegedly ordered the killings of two members and a former member of the Lowell, Massachusetts Hells Angels chapter.[72] "Whiskey" George E. Hartman, Jr. and Edwin Thomas "Riverboat" Riley were identified by rival bikers seeking revenge for the attack on Rogers while on a visit to the Outlaws' territory in Florida to supervise the covering up of HAMC tattoos belonging to Albert E. "Oskie" Simmons, who had relocated to Orlando, Florida to operate a motorcycle shop after leaving the club in 1973 or earlier.[73] Police believe Hartman and Riley were in Florida to source narcotics.[74] According to other sources, they may also have been in pursuit of three Florida-bound members of the Lucifer's Henchmen, a fledgling motorcycle club with which the Hells Angels were feuding in Massachusetts.[75] Hartman, Riley and Simmons were each bound with rope before being fatally shot in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun after being forced into a van at gunpoint and taken to a quarry near Andytown, Florida by Outlaws members Henry "Funky Tim" Amis, William Elbert "Gatemouth Willie" Edson, Norman Edward "Spider" Risinger and Ralph "Lucifer" Yannotta on April 27, 1974. They had earlier been lured to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida tavern under the pretense of a drug deal.[76] The bodies of the Massachusetts trio were then weighed down with concrete cinder blocks and submerged in a flooded, twenty-feet deep rock pit, but were discovered on May 1 after one corpse broke free and was seen by Stanley McElroy, a passing motorist.[77] The other two were found by police divers.[78] Hartman and Riley received a Hells Angels burial in Lowell, while Simmons was laid to rest in Orlando.[79] The Hells Angels determined that the Outlaws were responsible for the massacre after an internal investigation, and subsequently declared war on their rivals at a national meeting in Cleveland, which was attended by representatives of every club chapter. As a result, the Outlaws fortified their clubhouses with cinderblock walls and gunports on the orders of Chicago, Illinois-based national president Harold "Stairway Harry" Henderson. The Hells Angels carried out several machine gun attacks on Outlaws headquarters in Georgia, Florida and Ohio in 1974 and 1975.[80] Amis, Edson, Nolan and Yannotta were indicted by a grand jury in connection with the triple homicide in April 1978, each charged with three counts of first-degree murder.[81] Risinger was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, and a federal warrant was issued for his arrest. Edson and Yannotta received sentences for lesser charges and entered the Federal Witness Protection Program after testifying against Nolan, who stood trial for the triple homicide three times and was acquitted in 1979 after two mistrials. Amis was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, and was later stabbed to death in a prison fight.[82] Outlaws member Joe Edward Sorsby was arrested and faced extradition to Florida in the mistaken belief that he was in fact Risinger after he and another biker were stopped for traffic offences by Indiana State Police trooper Dwayne Dillahunty while riding their motorcycles on Interstate 65 in Merrillville, Indiana, just across the state line from Chicago, on June 7, 1991. Sorsby's name had been used as an alias by Risinger and was registered in a national Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) database.[83][84] Sorsby was released when police discovered they had the wrong man in custody after comparing fingerprints.[85]
On September 25, 1994, two bikers were killed and at least eight were injured as members of the Hells Angels and the Outlaws fought with guns, knives and other weapons in what authorities believe was a pre-arranged encounter at a motorcycle speedway track in Lancaster. Rochester Hells Angels chapter president Michael J. "Mad Mike" Quale was fatally stabbed over a dozen times, and Buffalo Outlaws chapter president Walter "Buffalo Wally" Posnjak died from a gunshot wound to the chest. Two people were wounded by gunfire and several others were treated for stab wounds at the Erie County Medical Center.[86] Fifteen people were arrested on weapons and drug charges in the aftermath.[87] The melee had been preceded by a fight between Hells Angels and Outlaws members at a local bar the previous evening, and occurred at a time when the rival clubs were engaged in a turf war in the Midwest after the HAMC expanded into the Outlaws' home state of Illinois.[88] In a search for evidence relating to the fatal brawl, four police agencies utilized an armored vehicle and an NYSP helicopter during sweeps of the Rochester HAMC chapter clubhouse, a pizzeria in the city, and a residence in the bordering town of Greece, which uncovered eleven weapons and other suspicious items on December 22.[89] Robert "Big Bob" Herold, the Hells Angels' former president in Rochester, was arrested on January 19, 1995 and charged with second-degree murder after a .44 Magnum revolver that had been used to kill Posnjak and was legally registered on Herold's pistol permit was discovered in his home.[90] He and his girlfriend, Sheila Elmlinger, were also charged with possessing illegal weapons and stolen property in relation to eight unregistered weapons which were also found.[91] Herold was acquitted of Posnjak's murder in 1996.[92] The FBI learned from informants that Quale had been stabbed to death by Indiana Outlaws member Donald Bryan "Big Don" Fogg and Orville Jerome "Orvie" Cochran, president of the Outlaws' South Side, Chicago chapter. Fogg was shot dead in Gary, Indiana on January 28, 1995 on the orders of Outlaws international president Harry "Taco" Bowman after he began cooperating with police.[93][94][95] Cochran was indicted on murder, racketeering and narcotics trafficking charges in June 2001, and he remained a fugitive until being arrested for shoplifting in Evergreen Park, Illinois on April 23, 2017.[96] Two counts of homicide conspiracy against Cochran, including that of Quale, were dismissed after he pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy in October 2018.[97][98] James Lee "Frank" Wheeler, who succeeded Bowman as the Outlaws' international president, was acquitted of orchestrating Quale's death in a trial which resulted in his conviction for racketeering, conspiracy and obstruction of justice on September 30, 2003.[99][100]
Rochester Hells Angels chapter members Patrick Lawless and James "Mitch" McAuley, Jr. were found in possession of two .357 Magnum handguns and a stolen .410 bore Mossberg shotgun while on route to kill members of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club when they were stopped in a car by police in Granby on August 23, 2005. The conflict with the Fulton-based Kingsmen, an Outlaws support club, emerged due to the Hells Angels' belief that the Outlaws were trying to establish a chapter within their sphere of influence.[101] The HAMC considered the area between Rochester and Syracuse their territory.[102] McAuley pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit murder in aid of racketeering and was sentenced to eight years in prison on April 24, 2008. Lawless also pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme.[103]
Breed[edit]
A confrontation between a group of approximately ten Hells Angels and two members of the Breed – Alfred Brechesi and Joseph Pascarella – on Staten Island on July 25, 1971 resulted in Brechesi being fatally shot and Pascarella being beaten and slashed. Three Hells Angels members – Anthony Morabito, John Scott and Howard "Howie" Weisbrod – were charged with assault.[104]
Pagans[edit]
A member of the Pagans was shot and wounded during a fight involving Hells Angels and Pagans bikers at a tattoo parlor in Deer Park, Long Island in September 1994.[105]
Pagans member Robert "Mailman" Rutherford died from knife and bullet wounds, three people were wounded by gunfire, and at least seven others were stabbed and beaten after dozens of Pagans members from across the East Coast armed with baseball bats, clubs, knives and firearms ambushed Hells Angels at the Hellraiser Ball, a tattoo and motorcycle trade exposition sponsored by the Long Island chapter of the HAMC and held at a convention hall in Plainview on February 23, 2002.[106] Seventy-five people – seventy-three Pagans and two Hells Angels – were detained by police on charges of rioting in the first degree, attempted gang assault in the first degree, and weapons offenses.[107] Long Island Hells Angels chapter secretary Raymond G. Dwyer was additionally charged with second-degree murder in Rutherford's death.[108] Hundreds of weapons, including two shotguns, four handguns and a TEC-9 machine pistol were also seized at the scene.[109] The seventy-three arrested Pagans were indicted on federal racketeering charges on March 12.[110] The incident was related to a turf war between the clubs, which began when the Pagans' presence in New York was virtually eliminated by federal prosecutions against the club in 1998, allowing the Hells Angels to fill the power vacuum.[111] A number of incidents in the weeks prior, including a spate of defections by Pagans to the Hells Angels in Maryland and Pennsylvania, also precipitated the storming of the biker event.[112] The attack was organized and spearheaded by Dennis "Rooster" Katona, the Pagans' national treasurer and sergeant-at-arms of the club's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania chapter. William "Tung Foo" Grayson and Richard "Fat Cat" Mahaffey of the Pagans' Virginia and Ohio factions, respectively, were identified in court documents as Katona's primary co-conspirators in the planning of the ambush.[113] On March 5, a tattoo parlor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania owned by Pagans member Joseph "Coney Island Joe" DeMatteo, who was among those arrested on Long Island, was firebombed in what authorities suspect was a retaliatory attack by the Hells Angels.[114][115] Murder charges against Dwyer were dismissed on September 20 as prosecutors could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the shooting was not justified,[116] and he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of third-degree weapons possession.[117] Katona served sixty-three months in federal prison for his role in the attack.[118]
New York City chapter clubhouse incidents[edit]
A police raid on the East Village headquarters of the New York City Hells Angels chapter on March 18, 1972 resulted in five arrests and the seizure of guns, knives and explosive devices. The arrests of two HAMC members – Vincent "Big Vinnie" Girolamo and Anthony Morabito – and three women – Windy Stein, and sisters Mary and Janet Huber – were the climax of a week‐long investigation of the robbery and assault of a young Puerto Rican man which took place in the vicinity of the Hells Angels' clubhouse on March 12.[119] Girolamo was charged with robbery and possession of brass knuckles and an imitation pistol, Stein with possession of a .38 caliber revolver and a machete, and Morabito and the Huber sisters with possession of a revolver, a bomb, a can of gunpowder and three incendiary flares.[120] Two twelve‐gauge shotguns and nearly a thousand rounds of ammunition, an assortment of knives and an illegal device for tapping telephone lines were also seized.[121] Local residents at the time also reported that the Hells Angels had been responsible for numerous incidents of violence, threats and harassment against various, predominantly African American, motorists and passersby in the area during the previous two years.[122]
On March 4, 1978, HAMC New York City chapter sergeant-at-arms Vincent Girolamo was arrested following a six-month investigation and charged with the murder of his girlfriend Mary Ann Campbell, who he allegedly threw to her death from the roof of the chapter clubhouse on September 21, 1977.[123] Released on a $50,000 bail, Girolamo died on September 12, 1979 of complications from a ruptured spleen, believed to have been sustained in a fight with Oakland, California chapter member Michael O'Farrell.[124][125] He was laid to rest at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx, and his funeral was attended by Hells Angels from across the United States and Europe.[126]
Angar Hussan, a fourteen-year-old Bengali immigrant, died at the Beth Israel Medical Center on July 5, 1990, a day after he was struck in the throat by metal shards from an exploding steel garbage can while watching M-80 firecrackers being set off at a Fourth of July block party sponsored by the Hells Angels outside the club's headquarters in the East Village. Three other bystanders were injured, two seriously.[127] HAMC members Anthony Morabito and John Tannuzzo were charged with second-degree murder in Hussan's death on October 22.[128] The motorcycle club as a corporation also was indicted on the charges.[129] Of the two men charged with murder, one was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, and the case against the other was dismissed.[124]
On January 28, 2007 a woman named Roberta Shalaby was found badly beaten on the sidewalk outside the Hells Angels' clubhouse in the Manhattan. The resulting investigation by the NYPD has been criticized by the group for its intensity. The police were refused access to the Hells Angels clubhouse and responded by closing off the area, setting up sniper positions, and sending in an armored personnel carrier.[130] After obtaining a warrant, the police searched the clubhouse and arrested one Hells Angel who was later released. The group claims to have no connection with the beating of Shalaby. Five security cameras cover the entrance to the New York chapter's East Village headquarters, but the New York HAMC maintains nobody knows how Shalaby was beaten nearly to death at their front door. A club lawyer said they intended to sue the city of New York for false arrest and possible civil rights violations.[131]
Infighting[edit]
The Hells Angels are suspected by law enforcement in the 1978 unsolved murder of club member Jimmy Johnson.[124] Johnson himself allegedly murdered a girlfriend of his and buried her remains at a property he owned in Stratford. He purportedly required treatment at a hospital in Utica after sustaining a gunshot wound to the hand during his girlfriend's killing.[132]

Ten men and four women were arrested, and two handguns, ammunition and other weapons were confiscated in an NYPD raid on the Hells Angels' Manhattan clubhouse on August 5, 1998. Charges of assault, robbery and weapons possession against twelve of the defendants were later dismissed. The search stemmed from a complaint the police received on July 29 from a man who claimed to have been assaulted and robbed of his motorcycle, keys, helmet and jacket inside the club's headquarters five days earlier. Despite being issued a warrant to search only the ground floor of the premises and an adjacent messenger service for a stolen Harley-Davidson motorcycle and related items, a team of more than fifty police officers, detectives and senior officials allegedly raided apartments on each floor of the six-story building, prompting several plaintiffs to file a lawsuit against the city of New York in December 1998. On March 18, 1999, the Guiliani administration agreed settle the lawsuit out of court, paying $450,000 to seven Hells Angels members, including chapter president Bartley J. Dowling, and two of the bikers' girlfriends.[133]
Seven members of the Long Island Hells Angels chapter, including president Robert John "Bob" Maganza, were arrested on charges of first-degree robbery between May 1 and 3, 2002 in connection with an assault on a former member, who was allegedly robbed of jewelry and a motorcycle, and had his tattoos inked over inside the chapter clubhouse in Hempsted in February 2002.[134] Police also seized $130,000 in cash, financial records, an Uzi submachine gun, two rifles, several shotguns, brass knuckles, knives and five motorcycles in raids conducted on members' homes and the clubhouse.[135][136]

Mick Jagger murder plot[edit]
The New York Hells Angels attempted to kill singer Mick Jagger on at least two occasions due to a dispute over $50,000 in legal fees accrued by the HAMC in the aftermath of the death of Meredith Hunter at the December 6, 1969 Altamont Free Concert in Altamont, California, where the club provided security for The Rolling Stones and other bands. Jagger and The Rolling Stones refused to pay the legal defense cost of Hells Angels member Alan Passaro, who was charged with murdering Hunter, and sent a member of their security detail to the Hells Angels' New York City chapter clubhouse in the East Village to deliver a message of non-compliance. The bodyguard was allegedly pistol-whipped with his own weapon and ejected from the clubhouse after displaying a handgun.[137] An initial attempt on Jagger's life during the New York City leg of the Tour of the Americas in June 1975 went awry when The Rolling Stones failed to check into a Manhattan hotel where a Hells Angels member armed with a silencer-equipped .22 caliber pistol was waiting to ambush the band.[138] A subsequent plot to access Jagger's holiday home in the Hamptons on Long Island via boat and plant a bomb was also foiled after a rubber raft loaded with explosives was lost in the water as a result of a storm in 1979.[139] The four-man assassination team was allegedly comprised of Sandy Alexander, Herbert Kittel, Michael Manfredonia and Michael Ciccetti.[140] Another Hells Angel, Cleveland chapter vice-president Clarence "Butch" Crouch, became a government informant in November 1981 and notified authorities of the plan. The ATF warned Jagger of the threat on his life and, despite his initial refusal, he then dispatched one of his security personnel to deliver $50,000 to the Hells Angels' Manhattan headquarters to cover Passaro's legal bill.[141] Crouch recounted the events during his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C. on March 3, 1983.[142] He later died in a murder-suicide while in the Federal Witness Protection Program, shooting himself after killing his wife and stepson at their home in Avinger, Texas on July 8, 2013.[39]
Operation Roughrider[edit]
The New York City chapter began manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine in mid-1978, with chapter president Sandy Alexander providing the drug formula, vice-president Howard Weisbrod supplying the phenylacetone used in the manufacturing process, and Paul Francis "K.C." Casey acting as the primary manufacturer. Alexander served as the chapter's president from its inception on December 5, 1969 until March 25, 1984, and also led the club's East Coast and European chapters. He was succeeded by William "Wild Bill" Medeiros, a founding member of the chapter who left the post after four months to resume the position of sergeant-at-arms. Casey then assumed the presidency. After some members became frustrated with restrictions on methamphetamine distribution imposed by senior members of the New York City faction, a New York nomads chapter was formed on November 11, 1984 in order to distribute greater quantities of the drug than was permitted in the Manhattan chapter. The Mid-State chapter, based in Binghampton and Troy, obtained narcotics from members of the New York City branch.[143] According to federal documents, the club utilized an extensive counter-surveillance system to prevent law enforcement infiltration that may have included a contact in the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and a federal prosecutor in Albany.[144] An FBI investigation of the Hells Angels codenamed Operation Roughrider commenced after Vernon Hartung, an inmate at FCI Petersburg in Virginia, contacted the bureau and became a confidential informant. Following his release from prison on April 2, 1982, Hartung was introduced to San Francisco, California Hells Angels chapter president Gary Kautzman by Robert "Hoss" Hall, president of the Richmond, Virginia-based Confederate Angels Motorcycle Club. Along with undercover FBI agent Kevin P. Bonner, the informant met with Kautzman on the pretext of seeking authorization to establish a HAMC chapter in Baltimore, Maryland, a ruse which allowed Bonner to infiltrate the club over a twenty-six month period. Beginning in March 1983, Bonner posed as a Baltimore drug dealer interested in purchasing methamphetamine and cocaine from the Hells Angels, and he made narcotics transactions with members of eleven chapters across the country, including New York City chapter president Sandy Alexander and Mid-State chapter vice-president James "Gorilla" Harwood.[145][65]
Operation Roughrider culminated with the arrests of 133 Hells Angels members and associates on racketeering and drug trafficking charges after over a thousand law enforcement personnel carried out approximately fifty coordinated raids in eleven states on May 2, 1985. $2.6 million in cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, hashish, PCP and LSD, as well as weapons including Uzi submachine guns and rocket launchers were seized.[146] Fifteen of the arrests took place in the New York metropolitan area, where the New York City chapter headquarters in Manhattan was raided, and at least one Uzi and an undetermined quantity of drugs were discovered.[147] A further nineteen club members and associates were taken into custody in Albany and Broome counties.[148][149][150] Arrest warrants were also issued for two club members, Herbert Kittel and New York nomads chapter president Chuck Zito, who were working as bodyguards for Bon Jovi on tour in Japan at the time. Kittel and Zito surrendered to the United States Embassy in Tokyo on July 22 after they were the subject of a nationwide dragnet by Japanese police at the request of the FBI.[151] On October 14, the Tokyo High Court approved an extradition request by U.S. authorities,[152] and, after detaining the pair in a Tokyo prison for four months, the Japanese Ministry of Justice released them into the custody of U.S. Justice Department officials in Tokyo on October 26.[153] Medeiros was a fugitive from justice until October 1985.[154] He, along with Harwood and John Miller, subsequently agreed to cooperate with the government and entered the Federal Witness Protection Program.[155]
On December 12, 1985, Alexander and Weisbrod, a Jewish Hells Angel,[156] pleaded guilty to federal narcotics distribution charges, while chapter secretary Charles Neuman pleaded guilty to conspiracy.[157] Alexander was sentenced to sixteen years' imprisonment on February 13, 1986 and was paroled from prison in August 1993.[124] On March 27, 1986, Mid-State members Kim D. "Mr. Fun" DiLuzio and Ronald G. "Big Cheese" Cheeseman were sentenced to fifteen and twenty-six years' imprisonment, respectively, after pleading guilty to federal racketeering and narcotics conspiracy charges. Three associates – Janet "Puffy" Beam Cheeseman, James Lee "The Mayor" Farrigan and Richard D. "Piggy" Cirzeveto – were also given sentences of two, fifteen and eighteen years for drug trafficking and extortion.[158] Cheeseman, president of the Binghamton and Mid-State chapters, was sentenced on April 1, 1986 to an additional six-to-eighteen-year sentence, to run concurrently, after pleading guilty to first-degree sodomy, a charge stemming from a video cassette showing him engaged in sexual acts with a seven-year-old boy and an eleven-year-old girl found when federal, state and local authorities searched his residence.[159] The same day, seven other HAMC members and associates – Orville Deitz, Philip Kramer, Raymond "Butch" Lindsay, John LoFranco, Patti Milhomme Root, Maureen "Mo" Pompey and Martin "Tiny" Pulver – were sentenced to prison terms of between six months and twenty-three years in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York in Albany after pleading guilty to various federal charges.[160] LoFranco, a professional boxer and high-ranking member of the Hells Angels' nomads chapter, had pled guilty to three conspiracy counts, for racketeering, narcotics and extortion conspiracy, on February 3, 1986,[161] and was paroled from prison in 1994 after serving nine years of a twenty-three-year sentence.[162][163] Zito pleaded guilty to one felony drug count in late 1986 and was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. His sentence was reduced to seven years' in 1988,[132] and he ultimately served six years in federal prison.[164] Casey pleaded guilty to conspiracy, manufacturing and distribution on November 2, 1987. Brendan Manning, who succeeded Casey as New York City chapter president, was convicted on December 11, 1987 of conspiracy and distribution of methamphetamine.[165]
In an effort to seize the Hells Angels' New York City chapter clubhouse, the federal government filed a complaint against the building on May 1, 1985, alleging that it was subject to forfeiture under federal drug forfeiture laws, which had been amended by Congress on October 12, 1984, to permit forfeiture of real property used for narcotics-related activities.[124] Sandy Alexander, his wife Colette Alexander and the Church of Angels – a moniker under which the HAMC was incorporated as a nonprofit religious organization in New York state[166] – subsequently intervened as claimants in the action. On February 4, 1994, after an approximately five-week trial, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the claimants, who they determined had proven that the premises was not used, or intended to be used, to commit, or to facilitate the commission of, a felony drug violation between October 12, 1984 and May 2, 1985.[143]

Drug trafficking[edit]
In the spring of 1993, Lee Carter, Jr., who worked as a bartender at a bowling alley in Rouses Point, was offered the opportunity to work as a drug courier for members of the Hells Angels' nomads chapter in Quebec, Canada by smuggling cocaine from New York to Montreal. Carter accepted the offer but then alerted police and agreed to become an undercover informant for the federal government as part of a sting operation which resulted in several Hells Angels members being charged with conspiracy to smuggle fifty-four kilograms of cocaine into Canada. On July 28, 1993, Carter was killed outside his workplace when his car exploded as a result of a bomb planted below the driver's seat. At the time, all co-defendants except Richard "Rick" Vallée had pled guilty and all refused to cooperate. The cocaine charges against Vallée were dismissed following Carter's death.[167] Vallée was arrested in Quebec on suspicion of Carter's murder in April 1995. While awaiting extradition to the United States in June 1997, he escaped during a hospital visit in Montreal after he and three accomplices subdued a guard and fled on stolen motorcycles. Vallée absconded to Costa Rica and remained a fugitive until he was apprehended in Montreal on April 11, 2003.[168] Following his extradition to the U.S. in 2006, Vallée was convicted of murdering Carter in September 2007. On April 14, 2008, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to pay more than $900,000 in restitution to Carter's family.[169]
A methamphetamine trafficking network controlled by members and associates of the Hells Angels' Rochester chapter, which operated in Western New York from 2002 through July 9, 2010, was dismantled after an investigation by the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the NYSP, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, the City of Batavia Police Department, and the Village of LeRoy Police Department. James Henry McAuley, Jr., the vice-president of the Rochester chapter and the leader of the drug ring, was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison in July 2016. Richard W. Mar, the former president of the club's Monterey, California chapter who supplied the Rochester Hells Angels with methamphetamine and trafficked the drug to New York from California, was sentenced to ten years in federal prison in August 2016.[170] Rochester Hells Angels members Richard E. Riedman and Jeffrey A. Tyler, and three associates – Donna Boon (McAuley's wife), Gordon Montgomery and Paul Griffin – pleaded guilty to drug trafficking offenses based on their roles in the conspiracy; Riedman was sentenced to thirty-seven months in prison, Tyler to eighteen months in prison, Boon to three years probation and twelve months of home incarceration, Montgomery to sixty months in prison, and Griffin to probation. Additionally, Rochester Hells Angels member Robert W. "Bugsy" Moran, Jr. was sentenced to eighteen months in prison after pleading guilty to armed assault in relation to a baseball bat beating of a bar patron who made disparaging comments about the club on May 31, 2006. Gina Tata, a bartender who phoned the Hells Angels and informed them of the patron's remarks, was sentenced to three years probation.[171] Timothy M. Stone was also sentenced to twelve months in prison on charges related to the case.[172]
Other incidents[edit]
Eight Hells Angels members, who were in New York City to attend the funeral of murdered club member Jeffrey "Groover" Coffey, were arrested on suspicion of the March 10, 1971 gang rape of a seventeen-year-old girl in a leather goods store in the East Village, Manhattan. The bikers allegedly returned to the store, owned by Eugene Pritzert, to pick up goods they had ordered the day before. When Pritzert told them the goods were not ready, they began abusing him, waking Pritzert's girlfriend who was asleep in the rear of the store. While some members guarded the store owner, others took turns beating and raping the girl. After approximately six hours, Pritzert managed to escape and alerted police. The girl identified her alleged attackers in a police lineup.[174] The eight men – Robert Cardner, Robert Marshall and Car Paretta from Massachusetts, Thomas Fusco, Edward Robinson and Kevin Seymour from New York state, Kurt Groudle from Ohio, and James Ordfield from New York City – were charged with rape, sodomy, unlawful imprisonment and criminal trespassing.[175][176]
On February 3, 1974, four HAMC members – James Allen, Herbert Reynolds Kittel, Michael Manfredonia and Charles Thompson – were arrested and charged with assaulting Harold Mason, who had previously worked undercover for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) Seattle, Washington office against the Hells Angels on the West Coast, after he left a bar in Lower Manhattan. Mason was hospitalized in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital, suffering from concussion and several cracked ribs. The alleged beating occurred hours after Mason had reported seeing a machine gun at the Hells Angels' clubhouse during a visit to the premises.[177]
Hells Angels member Michael "Mike the Bike" Cicchetti was hospitalized after suffering gunshot wounds of the abdomen during a fight at a bar in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on October 3, 1974, which left a barman, Frank "Frankie Skid" Nocera, dead, having been shot once in the head, once in the chest, and having suffered six stab wounds. Three others – Enrico Delimonte, Carmine Fergone and bar manager Frank Scotto – were also hospitalized with knife and gunshot wounds. Michael Cicchetti's brother, Thomas, was charged with Nocera's homicide.[178] Thomas Cicchetti was convicted of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree on January 15, 1976.[179][180] Michael Cicchetti was killed at the age of fifty-eight when he was thrown from his Harley-Davidson motorcycle after hitting a raised manhole cover on a road in Sunset Park, Brooklyn on June 3, 2004.[181]
College student Bruce Meyer was shot five times in the head at point-blank range with a .22 caliber handgun fitted with a silencer in the parking lot of his apartment building in Brewster on December 14, 1975.[182] Law enforcement sources stated that Meyer was murdered by the former president of the Connecticut Hells Angels chapter in retaliation for him killing a Hells Angels member in a car crash on July 3, 1975.[183]
In 1977, an explosion of undetermined origin damaged the clubhouse of the Mid-State Hells Angels chapter in Binghamton and six other buildings.[148]
Chuck Zito was allegedly initiated into the New York City Hells Angels chapter in May 1979 after he and another club member, Philip "Lightfoot" Kramer, used a remote-controlled device to detonate C-4 explosives attached to a vehicle belonging to Queens pizzeria owner Robert Giangarra, who survived without serious injury. According to Hells Angel-turned-FBI informant John Joseph "Pirate" Miller, Giangarra was targeted by the HAMC after shooting and wounding club member Cortland "Chip" Candow in a bar in Manhattan. Neither Zito or Kramer were charged with the bombing.[132]
In August 1979, a Hells Angels member exchanged gunfire with an unidentified man in Binghampton.[148]
Hells Angels members Michael Manfredonio, Michael Cicchetti, John B. "The Baptist" LoFranco and Augustine L. Casey were arrested by the New York State Police (NYSP) at the main gate of Great Meadow Correctional Facility on weapons, narcotics, and prison contraband charges in connection with a .32 caliber handgun and a quantity of cocaine on May 3, 1979.[184]
Police raids on five Rochester homes belonging to Hells Angels members on August 15, 1980 resulted in the arrests of six people and the confiscation of suspected drugs, at least thirty-five weapons, a stolen car and eighteen venomous snakes.[185] Each of the arrested was charged with possessing illegal weapons, and Rochester chapter president Robert H. "Blackfoot" Turner was also charged with possession of stolen property and four tabs of LSD. The raids took place after police received information on criminal activity from a confidential informant, believed to be an expelled former member of the club.[186] Turner died of heart failure at the age of forty-three on August 18, 1990.[187][188] His funeral was attended by more than eight-hundred people, including Hells Angels from around the country.[189]

North Carolina[edit]
There are three Hells Angels chapters in North Carolina, located in Durham, Fayetteville and Winston-Salem.[194] The first chapter in the state was founded in Durham on July 24, 1973.[195] The HAMC is involved in the transportation and distribution of narcotics, primarily cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana, in North Carolina.[196] The drugs are typically transported into the state from the southwestern U.S., and distributed at wholesale quantities to a network of support clubs and female associates, who then oversee distribution at the retail level from motorcycle shops, exotic dance clubs, bars, and tattoo parlors.[197]
Rise and fall of the Charlotte chapter[edit]
This was then followed by the Charlotte chapter, which was chartered on October 19, 1978 and was formed by Michael Franklin "Thunder" Finazzo – a member of the Hells Angels' elite "Filthy Few" from Omaha, Nebraska – and others. Charlotte was home to numerous motorcycle gangs at the time, including the Outlaws, but under Finazzo's leadership, the Hells Angels were able to take control of much of the city's criminal rackets and operated drug, prostitution and motorcycle theft rings throughout the state.[195] During the Hells Angels' international rally held at a private campground on Kerr Lake on July 4, 1981, journalists covering the event for The Charlotte Observer were assaulted by Hells Angels members. Staff reporters Robin Clark and Tex O'Neill were punched and photographer Mark Sluder was forced to turn over his film at knifepoint.[198] The attack was stopped when O'Neill alerted FBI agents who were also observing the rally.[199] Michael Finazzo and his lieutenant Tyler Duris "Yank" Frndak were found shot dead and stuffed in the trunk of an Oldsmobile 88 in Randolph County on September 26, 1981. At the time, Finazzo was considered by police to be among the ten most powerful members of the club. Although the murders remain unsolved,[200] police believe that the killings were related to a feud with the Outlaws[201] or a power struggle within the Hells Angels.[202] Club members from across the United States, as well as Canada, Denmark, England and the Netherlands, attended the burials of both men, which took place in Marshville on October 1, 1981. Finazzo's successor as chapter president, Fred Martin Scarnechia, and another Hells Angel, Thomas Lee Campbell, pistol-whipped undercover DEA agent John Landrum amidst a scuffle during a drug deal sting operation, in which Scarnechia was also stabbed, at Scarnechia's home in Fort Mill, South Carolina on July 27, 1982.[203] Authorities then obtained warrants to search a storage unit in nearby Rock Hill, South Carolina, where they uncovered a booby-trapped stockpile of weapons consisting of C-4 explosive, grenades, ammunition and two fully-automatic submachine guns equipped with silencers. The ATF was called in to investigate the seizure, and an explosive ordnance disposal unit from the Fort Jackson Army base was required to disarm the trap.[204] Scarnechia and Campbell were sentenced to five years in prison for assaulting the federal agent on January 6, 1983.[205] The Charlotte chapter was at one point the Hells Angels' largest on the east coast, with approximately a dozen members and numerous associates, but was disbanded after its position became precarious following the murders of Finazzo and Frndak, and the imprisonment of Scarnechia. The chapter clubhouse, known as "the Bunker", was burned down in a suspected arson attack on August 12, 1985. Investigators believe that the Hells Angels themselves destroyed the property before their departure.[206]
Operation CACUS[edit]
In early 1987, Durham Hells Angels chapter president Lawrence Dean "Chitlin" Lenihan was approached at a club function in Charleston, South Carolina by Anthony John Tait, the sergeant-at-arms of the Anchorage, Alaska chapter who was seeking weaponry such as antitank rockets, automatic weapons and explosives. Tait had been appointed by the club to coordinate a plan of retaliation against the Outlaws after Anchorage HAMC chapter president John Cleve Webb was shot dead by Outlaws members in Jefferson County, Kentucky on August 12, 1986. Tait, however, had become a paid FBI informant in 1984 and was supplying the bureau with information concerning the Hells Angels' illegal activities. Lenihan directed him to Durham chapter treasurer Timothy Jay "Tiny" Blackwell, who – along with another Hells Angel, Larry William White – supplied Tait with five pounds of C-4 plastic explosives and eight blasting caps during a subsequent meeting in Durham.[207] Operation CACUS, a two-year Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation aided by Tait's efforts, resulted in 38 Hells Angels in five states being arrested on drugs, weapons, explosives and conspiracy charges on November 10, 1987.[31] Blackwell, Lenihan and White were charged with acquiring explosive devices and with conspiring to use the explosive with intent to kill or intimidate members of the Outlaws.[208] Although the trio were scheduled to be extradited to Louisville, Kentucky to stand trial at the District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, the case was later transferred to the District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina after the conspiracy charges were dismissed.[209] Blackwell, Lenihan and White were each convicted of one count of distributing explosives to an unlicensed person not residing in the state in which the distributor resides, and one count of possessing an unregistered firearm.[207] Tait would later allege that the Hells Angels put a $1 million bounty on his life.[47]
Charles Terry Norman, a Winston-Salem Hells Angels chapter officer, began cooperating with the United States government in late 1989 and provided testimony which helped secure the June 1992 interstate drug trafficking conviction of Odis "Buck" Garrett, the president of the HAMC's Vallejo, California-based nomads chapter who oversaw what prosecutors described as the largest methamphetamine manufacturing and distribution case in the U.S.[154] Norman testified that he made arrangements for the delivery of eleven pounds of Garrett's drugs to North Carolina. Garrett was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole on September 28, 1992.[212] His associates Carl Dulinsky and Harris Blane Shimel were also convicted in the case.[213]

Ohio[edit]
The Cleveland charter became the club's first Midwestern chapter. - https://web.archive.org/web/20200925010203/https://gangsterreport.com/the-devil-is-in-the-details-hells-angels-set-up-shop-in-michigan-for-first-time/
The Hells Angels have established a presence in Northeast Ohio, with chapters in Akron, Cleveland, Lake County and Portage County.[214] The first HAMC faction in Ohio was chartered on December 16, 1967 when two clubs – the Gooses Motorcycle Club, founded in 1960, and the Animals Motorcycle Club – merged to form the Cleveland chapter, known as the "Dirty 30".[39] The Cleveland chapter is influential in the club's national organization and is reputed to be the location of the national treasury. The Cleveland and New York City chapters also control all Hells Angels activities in the Eastern United States as well as those of chapters in Canada and Europe.[58] The Hells Angels are active in gunrunning, extortion, trafficking in stolen property and methamphetamine distribution in the Cleveland and Akron areas,[215] and have been involved in contract killings and drug trafficking with the Cleveland crime family.[64][216]
Conflicts with rival groups[edit]
Headquartered out of a clubhouse in the St. Clair–Superior neighborhood, the Cleveland Hells Angels came into conflict with another local club, God's Children Motorcycle Club, soon after their foundation.[217] While in pursuit of members of the God's Children on February 28, 1968, a group of Hells Angels and Animals MC members shot and killed two men, Roosevelt Brown and James O. Tillett, at a bar on the east side of Cleveland. Brown, a black man, was shot twice in the back after being harassed by the Hells Angels, while Tillett, a white man, was shot once in the head as he tried to intervene on Brown's behalf. Robert Williams, a piano player at the bar, was also assaulted by the bikers. Two brothers were arrested, and two shotguns and a rifle were confiscated when police subsequently raided the the nearby clubhouse of the Animals MC.[218] Six fugitive Hells Angels members – Cleveland chapter president Timothy John "T.A." Adams, Nelson J. "Scotty" Blackburn, Donald A. Fraser, Robert G. "Bottles" Lemmons, Gary Leroy "Monkey" Montgomery and "Dirty" George Westley Rothrock – and two of their girlfriends – Kathy Diane Shaffer and Nellie M. Sideris – were charged with first-degree murder. A .38 caliber revolver used in the killing of Brown was recovered in a garage in Erie, Pennsylvania, where Adams and Montgomery had initially fled to, on March 2. The same day, Fraser and Shaffer were arrested in Kingman, Arizona.[219] Animals MC member Donald Griswold also surrendered to police on March 6.[220] On March 12, Blackburn, Lemmons, Rothrock and Sideris were captured by the New York State Police near Fonda, New York.[221] The two remaining suspects, Adams and Montgomery, were apprehended by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and local police in Walnut Creek, California the following day.[222][223] Three other Hells Angels – Donald A. "Doc" Edwards, Eugene F. "Meany" Zagar and Robert D. "Fly" Salerno – were additionally indicted on first-degree murder charges on March 21. Murder charges were dismissed against Fraser, Shaffer and Sideris, who were held as material witnesses.[224] Salerno was convicted of first-degree murder, Blackburn, Griswold and Lemmons of second-degree murder, and Adams of first-degree manslaughter.[225] Blackburn was sentenced to serve two ten-years-to-life sentences, to run concurrently,[226] and Lemmons and Griswold were sentenced to two consecutive life terms.[227][228] On June 11, 1975, Governor of Ohio James A. Rhodes, acting on the unanimous recommendation of the state parole board, reduced the sentences of Blackburn and Lemmons to six- and seven-years-to-life, respectively.[229] The pair were released from Marion Correctional Institution on parole shortly after.[230] Blackburn left the HAMC in 1993 and died on October 27, 2011 at the age of sixty-seven.[231]
Hells Angels members from Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and California were involved in a large-scale brawl with members of the Breed, in which knives, chains and clubs were brandished, at a motorcycle trade show in Cleveland on March 6, 1971.[232] With over a hundred bikers on each side, the violence led to the deaths of five people; Breed members Bruce "Buster" Emerick, Andrew C. Demeter, Amelio "Pierre" Gardull and Thomas Allen Terry, and Hells Angels member Jeffrey "Groover" Coffey.[233] Twenty-three people were also injured, including three police officers. Eighty-four people were arrested at the scene. According to police, the violence erupted after the Breed attacked the Hells Angels. Breed members disputed the claim, however, asserting that they were ambushed by the Hells Angels after attending the event unarmed, as ordered by their chapter officers.[234] On March 9, forty-seven Breed members and ten Hells Angels were each charged with five counts of first-degree murder.[235] Fourteen HAMC members ultimately pleaded guilty to manslaughter on October 19.[236][237] The Breed were a fledgling club at the time and had expanded into territory held by the Hells Angels in Akron and on the East Coast.[238] The feud between the two clubs reportedly began after a fight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1969,[233] and continued during the following two decades.[239]
In 1974, Hells Angels initiate Andrew Shission allegedly shot and killed Outlaws member Bruce Sunday while Sunday was riding his motorcycle on Interstate 77.[240] The motorcycle crashed at high speed, resulting in Sunday's girlfriend, who was riding on the back, suffering serious injuries.[241] Shission and five other Hells Angels were indicted for a series of murders, all but two of which occurred as a result of the club's war with the Outlaws, on June 10, 1982.[242] Authorities at the time suspected the Hells Angels of responsibility in at least twenty homicides during a period of warfare between the HAMC and the Outlaws beginning in 1974.[39] Clarence "Butch" Crouch, the Cleveland Hells Angels vice-president who became a government witness in November 1981, testified against Shission in an aggravated murder trial in 1983. The case against Shission was dismissed due to a lack of evidence to corroborate the testimony from Crouch.[243]
Three members of a Hells Angels hit team killed one man, Donald Della Serra, and wounded two others with a submachine gun and shotguns in a drive-by shooting in front of a house in Akron on June 9, 1974. Della Serra was not a member of a motorcycle gang. The intended target of the attack was Outlaws member Steven "Groundhog" Wargo, who previously lived at the residence.[244] The crime went unsolved until Cleveland HAMC chapter vice-president-turned-government witness Clarence "Butch" Crouch confessed to being one of the gunmen to federal agents on November 5, 1981. He named the other two shooters as Richard C. "Friz" Frazier and Enis "Eagle" Crnic, who died in April 1977.[245] Crouch also implicated Hells Angels national treasurer Andrew Shission in the killing, and testified that Shission had provided the stolen car that was used in the shooting. Shission was acquitted of murder in Summit County on October 27, 1983.[243][246] Crouch was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten-to-forty years in prison.[39]
On January 7, 1975, three people – Burdell M. Offitt, Maryanne Sigley and Sigley's two-year-old son Christopher Michael – were killed and another three – John and Deborah Slepko, and nine-month-old Steve Sigley – were critically injured by a suitcase bomb that exploded inside the home of William Sigley, who was absent, in Cleveland's Slavic Village neighborhood. The explosive had been left on the porch of the house and was taken inside by Offitt, a visitor to the home.[247] Cleveland HAMC chapter vice-president-turned government witness Clarence "Butch" Crouch later testified that two fellow Hells Angels, chapter treasurer Richard A. Amato and Harold L. "Harry" Chakirelis, carried out the bombing in the mistaken belief that the house was occupied by a member of the rival Outlaws.[248] Amato and Chakirelis were among six Hells Angels members indicted for a series of unsolved murders, some stemming from the conflict between the HAMC and the Outlaws, on June 10, 1982. Amato was charged with three counts of aggravated murder and three counts of attempted murder, while Chakirelis was charged with a single murder count.[240] The indictments were the result of a federal grand jury investigation of the Hells Angels' activities in Cleveland and Akron.[242] An aggravated murder case against Amato was dismissed on November 8, 1983 by judge James J. McGettrick, who deemed four days of testimony insufficient to prove the prosecutor's case.[249] Deborah Slepko, who spent eleven months in hospital, was blinded in one eye and lost hearing, testified in the trial.[246] The dismissal of the Amato case led prosecutors on November 28 to also withdraw the case against Chakirelis.[250][251] Chakirelis died at the age of seventy-six on June 11, 2019.[252]
The Hells Angels' Akron chapter was formed in February 1979 by James Patrick Caronite, president of the club's territories in the Eastern U.S.[245] In December 1979, two Outlaws members armed with a silencer-equipped .22 caliber pistol and a sawed-off shotgun were arrested in a car by police near the Hells Angels' Akron clubhouse. Caronite was believed to be the target of the Outlaws' assassination team.[253] Caronite had earlier been ordered by Sonny Barger and other senior Hells Angels to arrange a peace meeting with members of the Outlaws. The peace meeting, to be held in an eastern state, was in fact an opportunity for the Hells Angels to assassinate their rivals' leadership, according to investigators. Having gave his word to the Outlaws that they would be safe at the meeting, Caronite reportedly warned the Outlaws, who avoided the meeting, when he learned of the assassination plans. The warning reportedly angered the HAMC hierarchy.[254]
Hells Angels Cleveland chapter member Jack "Jack-O-Lantern" Gentry was arrested on June 11, 1982 and charged with the murder of Outlaws member Ralph "Real Time" Tanner, who was shot twice and killed behind the Outlaws' Toledo chapter clubhouse on November 30, 1980.[242] Tanner was one of six Hells Angels indicted for a series of murders, all but two of which stemmed for the club's conflict with the Outlaws, after a a federal grand jury investigation of the HAMC's activities in Cleveland and Akron.[240] Charged with aggravated murder, Gentry stood trial in Lucas County circuit court in October 1982. The trial was attended by HAMC members from across the country, including West Coast leader Sonny Barger and East Coast commander Sandy Alexander.[255] A female juror was excused from duty after her son was threatened by a group of Hells Angels at a Downtown Toledo bar.[256] Hells Angel-turned-government witness Clarence "Butch" Crouch testified that Gentry and other Cleveland Hells Angels had carried out recognizance missions on Outlaws targets in Toledo in the weeks leading up to Tanner's murder, for which Gentry was rewarded with initiation into the HAMC.[257] Gentry was acquitted of all charges on October 29 after a four-day proceeding.[258]
On November 23, 1981, the FBI raided a Hells Angels weapons cache located in a rented warehouse in Cleveland, discovering a large quantity of explosives and automatic firearms, including hand grenades, anti-tank rockets, a supply of dynamite, an M16 rifle, two submachine guns, shotguns and an automatic pistol.[259] The arsenal was believed to be intended for use in the war against the Outlaws.[58]
On February 27, 1988, music store manager David Hartlaub was fatally shot thirteen times in his van at a bank parking lot in Perkins Township as he was making a nightly cash deposit by Hells Angels prospect John Ray Bonds, who sustained an arm wound from a bullet ricochet. Bonds fled in the van, which he abandoned nearby. Both the van's interior and the murder weapon, a MAC-11 9 mm caliber semi-automatic pistol fitted with a homemade silencer, were spattered with Bonds' blood. The deposit bag, containing approximately $4,000, was not taken. Douglas Waratuke, a music store employee who had followed Hartlaub to the bank in a separate vehicle, was threatened at gunpoint by full-patch Hells Angels member Steven Wayne Yee, who then fled on foot. Another HAMC prospect, Mark Verdi, acted as a getaway driver and drove Bonds and Yee from the scene in a car registered to Yee. Hartlaub was killed by the Hells Angels assassination team after being mistaken for a member of the Sandusky Outlaws chapter who drove an almost identical yellow van. The killing was planned in retaliation for the September 18, 1987 Joliet, Illinois shooting and wounding of Cleveland HAMC chapter president Kenneth "Kenny" Yates, at which Bonds had been present.[260] A March 9 search of Verdi's home in connection with an unrelated crime uncovered several items believed to be evidence of the murder, including a map, plastic bags and rolls of electrical tape of the types used to create a device to collect cartridges which was secured to the murder weapon, and several firearms. Despite the serial number on the murder weapon being obliterated, the FBI were able to trace its origin. The gun had previously been owned by a former roommate of Yee, who had owned two such weapons and testified that they had been stolen from his car when it was parked outside their apartment.[260] Spent shell casings which experts later determined came from the murder weapon were found in Yee's car, which was tracked down days later. Fibers found in the car also matched fibers from a glove found three weeks after the murder on the side of Ohio State Route 2 connecting Cleveland and Sandusky. Discovered along with the glove was Hartlaub's van registration and title, an empty box of 9 mm cartridges of the type used in the murder and found in Yee's car, and a loaded revolver. Bonds was identified as the shooter who had hid inside Hartlaub's van as a result of DNA evidence found at the murder scene and in Yee's car. The trio were subsequently indicted. Verdi and Yee were taken into custody on March 7, 1989, but Bonds fled before he could be brought to trial; he was a fugitive for eight months before being apprehended on November 8, 1989 when a patron at a bar in Paducah, Kentucky alerted law enforcement of his whereabouts. Authorities had earlier had him profiled on a nationally-televised crime show that summer.[261] Bonds, Verdi and Yee were convicted of federal weapons violations at the U.S. District Court in Toledo on February 22, 1991. On June 21, Verdi and Yee were sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment, and Bonds was sentenced to twenty five years'.[262] All three men later pleaded guilty in state court to aggravated murder. This was one of the first cases of DNA being used for criminal conviction.[263] Yee and Verdi were sentenced to an additional twenty years-to-life, while Bonds was given thirty years-to-life.[264] Bonds' murder trial was delayed after he was stabbed several times in prison on January 10, 1992.[265] Yee filed multiple appeals in a failed attempt to remove his guilty plea, and also unsuccessfully requested resentencing.[266] The case was the subject of "The Initiation", episode ten of season five of the documentary series The FBI Files, which originally aired on June 17, 2003.

Four locations, including the Cleveland HAMC chapter headquarters, were raided by SWAT teams and federal agents on January 5, 2011 as arrest warrants were issued for club members Justin Selisker and Scott Stage.[267] Stage was convicted on March 21, 2011 of felonious assault in the beating of Steven Keresztesi, a biker who was seeking to reestablish the defunct Coffin Cheaters Motorcycle Club in Northeast Ohio. Keresztesi was attacked after refusing to pay tribute to the Hells Angels at a meeting behind a restaurant in Montville Township on September 3, 2010. On June 11, 2011, Stage was sentenced to six years in prison.[268] Seliskar was acquitted of assault charges on March 18, 2011.[269]
On July 25, 2020, Cleveland Hells Angels chapter member John Fuller was fatally shot and a Mongols member was stabbed and wounded after a brawl involving approximately ten bikers at a gas station in Valley View.[270] Fuller's killer was arrested but was later released from police custody.[214]
Internal conflicts[edit]
Cleveland Hells Angels chapter members James Bailey and Richard Vesey were shot by at least two gunmen who were hidden in an embankment beneath an overpass on Interstate 80 near Colfax, Iowa as they travelled via motorcycle to the club's annual rally in Yankton, South Dakota on August 14, 1975. Bailey was killed after being shot in the neck, and Vesey was wounded in the arm. A third biker, Paul "Chip" Philemon of the North Carolina chapter, escaped unscathed. According to police, one assailant fired a shotgun and another a .38 caliber or .357 Magnum revolver. No motive was established for the shooting and no suspects were apprehended.[36] Bailey's murder remains a cold case.[37] Philemon was murdered at Bailey's funeral in Cleveland after the phone number of a member of the Outlaws was allegedly found in his wallet.[38] After turning government witness in November 1981, Cleveland Hells Angels chapter vice-president Clarence "Butch" Crouch testified that, before his death, chapter treasurer Bailey was building evidence of financial fraud against other members using receipts he had accumulated and kept in his wallet, and that Bailey was killed by HAMC officers in order to prevent him handing over the receipts to senior Hells Angels at the national meeting.[39]
Cleveland Hells Angels chapter founding member and vice-president Clarence Addie "Butch" Crouch was born in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1940 and had been a founding member of the Bandidos in Texas in 1966 before resigning and applying to the Hells Angels. He was dispatched to Cleveland to establish a HAMC chapter by Sonny Barger and the club's mother chapter in Oakland, California the following year. Crouch became a government witness after contacting the ATF in November 1981 and gave information on an extensive list of cases, such as the Sigley home bombing and the homicides of James Bailey, Donald Della Serra, Denise Padavick, Frank P. Pircio, Bruce Sunday and Ralph Tanner. He testified in at least five trials involving Hells Angels members, including those of Richard Amato, Jack Gentry, Thomas Padavick and Andrew Shission. Only the trial of Padavick resulted in a conviction.[271] Crouch entered the Federal Witness Protection Program in 1990 after serving eight years of a ten-to-forty year prison sentence for the manslaughter of Della Serra, who was shot to death in a case of mistaken identity in Akron on June 9, 1974.[249] The crime had gone unsolved until Crouch confessed to federal agents on November 5, 1981. Living in Avinger, Texas under the alias "Paul Allen Dome", Crouch died in a murder-suicide on July 8, 2013, shooting himself after killing his wife and stepson at their home.[39]
Clyde S. Trent, president of the Hells Angels' Akron chapter between 1989 and 1990, survived two alleged assassination attempts during that time period. A bomb placed in the driveway of Trent's home in August 1990 failed to detonate. In December 1990, he was shot twice with a 9 mm handgun as he sat in a car a near the Cleveland HAMC chapter clubhouse. Trent identified another club member as his assailant, but declined to press charges. The Akron chapter disbanded in 1991 as a result of internal feuds, indictments and leadership issues. The chapter's three remaining members subsequently transferred to other Hells Angels factions. The Cleveland chapter, once considered among the club's most powerful in the United States, had also fallen into disarray by this point.[272]
Contract killing[edit]
The Hells Angels were retained as contract killers by both factions involved in the Cleveland mob war of 1975–78, in which the Cleveland crime family feuded with Irish gangster Danny Greene and his Celtic Club for control of criminal rackets in the city. There were almost forty car bombings in Cleveland during this time period, earning the city the unofficial title of "Bomb City U.S.A.".[273] HAMC members were allegedly rewarded by the Mafia with Iron Workers' Union membership as payment for services rendered, and eventually were used as strikebreakers at a construction site in eastern Ohio.[274] Celtic Club lieutenant Kevin McTaggert informed the FBI that Hells Angels member Enis "Eagle" Crnic was contracted by Greene for a fee of $7,500 to kill Shondor Birns, a rival racketeer and Mafia ally who was assassinated via a car bomb containing C-4 explosive on March 29, 1975.[275] Crnic and Greene were also suspected in the attempted murder of Mafia enforcer Eugene "The Animal" Ciasullo, who survived the bombing of his home on July 21, 1976.[276] Another club member, George Rothrock, is also believed to have been involved in bombings.[277] Crnic was killed while attempting to attach a car bomb to a vehicle belonging to Cleveland crime family associate John "Johnny Del" Delzoppo on April 5, 1977. It was never determined if Crnic accidentally set off the bomb prematurely or if his accomplice in the car seen driving away from the scene had himself detonated the explosive.[278][279] Allegedly, Greene killed Crnic because of his clandestine knowledge of bombings against Greene's rivals.[58] Due to the Hells Angels' working relationship with the Mafia, Cleveland crime family boss James "Jack White" Licavoli and his administration were greatly angered by Crnic's involvement in the bombings.[280] Hells Angels member Frank R. Fencl allegedly carried out the July 6, 1978 murder of mobster Joseph F. "Joey Bugs" Bonarrigo under contract with the Mafia. According to testimony given by Cleveland crime family underboss-turned-government witness Angelo "Big Ange" Lonardo before the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on April 15, 1988, Mafia soldier Thomas "The Chinaman" Sinito had informed Lonardo and Licavoli of a murder threat against the pair by Bonarrigo, and was subsequently given permission to contract for Bonarrigo's killing. Joseph "Joe Loose" Iacobacci, an associate at the time who later became boss of the Cleveland crime family, was tasked with overseeing the murder and recruited a Hells Angel for assistance. After later learning that Sinito was involved in the narcotics trade, however, Lonardo developed the belief that Sinito had actually manufactured a reason to eliminate Bonarrigo as a drug rival rather than because of any legitimate threat to the family's leadership.[281] Fencl was arrested and charged with Bonarrigo's murder on June 10, 1982 as he and five other Hells Angels were indicted for a series of homicides following a federal grand jury investigation of the HAMC's activities in Cleveland and Akron.[242][240] He was scheduled to stand trial in September 1984 before judge James J. McGettrick. However, McGettrick was arrested on April 13, 1984 after accepting a $5,000 bribe to fix Fencl's upcoming trial from a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agent posing as a Hells Angels associate.[282][250]
In late 1982, law enforcement officers received information that the Cleveland Hells Angels chapter had issued a contract for the murder of a Cleveland ATF agent who had been involved in the investigation of several murders allegedly committed by members of the club. The information came from a confidential source in great detail, including where the killing would take place. The people planning these events knew the agent was going to fly to a particular location and then drive from that location to a law enforcement seminar in a nearby locality. Contact was made with the agent involved, and it was confirmed that he was going to go to the law enforcement seminar on the dates specified by the informant via the route specified by the informant. This information was not public knowledge.[154] The agent altered his travel plans after being informed of the assassination plot.[256]
Joseph S. "Joe" Casalicchio contracted two California Hells Angels members for a fee of $35,000 to assassinate Cuyahoga County Common Pleas judge Kathleen Ann Sutula, who had sentenced Casalicchio to thirty-three months' imprisonment for a drug conviction on February 27, 2001. The two unidentified bikers carried out a failed assassination attempt on April 28, 2001, when Sutula's home in Seven Hills was the object of gunfire.[283] While in the Marion Correctional Institution in April 2002, Casalicchio told another inmate, James Giminez, that he had hired hitmen kill Sutula but that the murder attempt had failed. On April 5, Giminez wrote a letter to Sutula, informing her of the Casalicchio's statements. Sutula forwarded the letter to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office. Casalicchio appealed his conviction, which was affirmed by the court on February 14, 2002. The case was, however, remanded for a new sentencing hearing. Sutula resentenced Casalicchio to the same sentence of thirty-three months in November 2002, and he was assigned to Grafton Correctional Institution to serve his sentence. On April 28, 2003, the Sheriff's Office placed an informant, Videll Schumpert, in the prison with Casalicchio. Schumpert was wired and taped conversations between the pair, during which Casalicchio admitted paying the Hells Angels to assassinate the judge, but that they had failed to carry out the assignment. Casalicchio also stated his belief that if Sutula were dead, he would have received a lesser sentence from another judge. He was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, felonious assault, retaliation, and intimidation on October 16, 2003.[284][285] On March 10, 2004, Casalicchio was convicted of intimidation and acquitted of the remaining charges.[286] He was sentenced to five years of incarceration.[287] Casalicchio died at the age of seventy-two in Ravenna on November 18, 2019.[288]
Drug trafficking[edit]
Arrests were made in Cleveland on May 2, 1985 in connection with Operation Roughrider, a three-year FBI investigation into the Hells Angels that culminated with the arrests of a total of 133 club members and associates on drug trafficking and racketeering charges during a series of coordinated raids carried out in eleven states.[289] The raids, involving over a thousand law enforcement personnel, also led to the seizure of cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, hashish, PCP and LSD valued at $2 million, as well as weapons including submachine guns and anti-tank weaponry.[290] Undercover FBI agent Kevin P. Bonner infiltrated the HAMC for twenty-six months and made narcotics transactions with members of eleven chapters across the country as part of the investigation.[289]
Patricia M. Long, an associate of the Akron Hells Angels, was arrested in 1989 after selling methamphetamine to an undercover police officer. A subsequent search of her Springfield Township home resulted in the seizure of a pound of the drug, valued at approximately $35,000. Long was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to five-to-twenty-five years in prison.[272]
Other incidents[edit]
An eighteen-year-old woman was allegedly gang raped by Hells Angels members in Cleveland Heights in 1969.[291]
In 1969, Cleveland Hells Angels chapter treasurer James M. "Beetle" Bailey, Jr. was acquitted of disturbing the peace after he was arrested in a house in Independence where five rifles, a sawed-off shotgun, a revolver, a chain and a switchblade knife were discovered.[36]
On the night of October 24 or the early morning hours of October 25, 1974, Hells Angels member Thomas A. Padavick shot and killed his wife Denise Padavick (née Wagner) at his Cleveland home. Denise Padavick's body was discovered on June 5, 1976, buried in a 55-gallon oil drum in Brecksville.[271] Thomas Padavick was one of six HAMC members indicted for a series of murders on June 10, 1982 as the result of a federal grand jury investigation of the club's activities in Cleveland and Akron.[240][242] Cleveland Hells Angels chapter vice-president Clarence "Butch" Crouch, who turned government witness in November 1981, testified that he witnessed Thomas shoot Denise in the head during an argument. Thomas Padavick was convicted of his wife's murder on June 25, 1986 and sentenced to fifteen years-to-life in prison.[292]
In 1977, Cleveland Division of Police (CDP) patrolman Steven D. Stevers was convicted of bribery after being accused of aiding six Hells Angels members charged with the gang rape of a woman by passing $1,000 and an airline ticket to the victim on behalf of the bikers. While Stevers was sentenced to prison, the charges against the HAMC members were dismissed.[256]
Akron HAMC chapter member Joel Arden Parsons was sentenced to a term of imprisonment after he and another man were convicted for the robbery of a gas station in Coventry Township in 1980.[241] Summit County Sheriff's Office detectives believe the pair were also responsible for five other gas station robberies.[254] Parsons was sentenced to an additional ten-to-fifty-five years in prison in October 1989 for weapons charges and violating his parole on the armed robbery conviction.[272] He died at the age of fifty on October 29, 2007.[293]
Hells Angels member "Dirty" George Westley Rothrock was shot and killed with a .38 caliber handgun by his girlfriend Mary Jane Jarus after he had hit her with a telephone and choked her unconscious at their Cleveland home on November 2, 1981. Rothrock's funeral in Mentor on November 6 was attended by local and national Hells Angels.[294] The shooting was ruled justifiable. Jarus later entered the Federal Witness Protection Program and testified against another club member, Carl Lee Wortman, in a weapons possession trial in June 1984.[295]
A police raid on the Akron Hells Angels chapter clubhouse on May 22, 1982 resulted in four club members – David M. Beal, Fred A. Friend, Larry K. Shuman and chapter president James Caronite – being charged with operating an illegal bar, illegal liquor sales and possession of stolen firearms. An allegedly stolen 12-gauge shotgun, a pistol and two .22 caliber pen guns were seized in the raid.[296] Caronite and his girlfriend, Deborah "Debbie" Cannavino, were additionally charged with possessing a fictitious auto title and stolen furniture, as well as the alleged misuse of phone and utility lines.[241] The Hells Angels subsequently conspired to hire a hitman to kill one of the officers involved in the raid, Akron Police Department (APD) captain Jerry Foys.[154] The plot was defused by police before being put into action.[256] Cannavino and Caronite, the former president of the HAMC's East Coast territories, were convicted on November 12, 1982 on one count each of receiving stolen property and possession of a fictitious auto title, charges stemming from the theft of a 1975 Plymouth Duster from a used car lot in south Akron in 1979.[297] A mistrial was declared on remaining stolen property and auto theft charges lodged against the couple on November 15.[298] On November 18, Caronite was sentenced to concurrent prison sentences of two-to-five years on the stolen property charge and one-to-five years on the fictitious title charge, and also fined $2,000.[299] Cannavino was placed on two years' probation and fined $500 on December 6.[300] According to investigators, Caronite fell out of favor with the Hells Angels' national leadership in Oakland due to his poor leadership of the Akron chapter.[254] He retired from the club following his release from prison in 1986.[301]
During a meeting with undercover ATF agent Stephen Wells, who was posing as a Hells Angels associate, at a Rocky River restaurant in April 1984, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court judge James J. McGettrick admitted that he had accepted bribes to prearrange the outcomes in two cases where the defendants were members of the HAMC. He had received $6,900 to dismiss murder charges against Richard Amato and Harry Chakirelis in the Sidgley home bombing, which killed three people. On April 12, Wells, while wearing a wire, payed the judge an additional $5,000 in marked bills to determine an upcoming murder case against Hells Angels member Frank Fencl. McGettrick was arrested the following day, and the marked bills as well as other money that was traced to the Hells Angels and newspaper articles about the fixed cases were subsequently recovered from his home. $13,800 in cash of unknown origin was also seized from McGettrick's safety deposit box at a bank in Rocky River.[282] He pleaded no contest to the charges of soliciting one bribe and of receiving two bribes totaling $15,900 in exchange for fixing murder charges against Fencl and Amato but was found guilty by Hamilton County Common Pleas judge Simon L. Leis, Jr., who was assigned to hear the case as a visiting judge, on January 16, 1985.[302] Defense motions to find McGettrick, who was terminally ill with prostate and bone cancer, incompetent to stand trial and to suppress key evidence in the case were denied by Leis.[303] On February 8, 1985, McGettrick was sentenced to four years in prison and fined $15,000.[304] The bribery conviction was affirmed on appeal.[154] He died on July 17, 1985 at the age of sixty-eight.[305]
Carl Lee Wortman, a member of the Cleveland Hells Angels chapter, went on trial in June 1984 at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in Akron for conspiracy to possess weapons in violation of federal firearms laws, charges brought against him by a federal special investigative task force.[295] The government filed a motion in limine to prevent disclosure of the identity, address and residence locale of petit jurors in the case.[154] The first trial ended in a hung jury and the district court declared a mistrial. After a second trial before the same trial judge, David D. Dowd, Jr., Wortman was acquitted on nine of ten substantive counts of possession of unregistered firearms. The jury could not agree on the single remaining substantive count and the conspiracy count. The district court declared another mistrial as to these remaining counts. At a third trial, the government elected to proceed on the conspiracy count only.[306]
A search of the Medina County residence of Cleveland Hells Angels chapter member Richard C. "Friz" Frazier by the CDP and Medina County Sheriff's Office on October 23, 1986 resulted in the discovery of an automobile with altered vehicle identification numbers as well as a 9 mm and .380 caliber pistol, which ultimately were the basis for subsequent federal prosecution. The search was carried out after a confidential informant had told CDP detective Robert Kingzett of observing three stolen vehicles in a barn located on the premises during a previous visit. Frazier was sentenced to a prison term the following year after entering a conditional plea to a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.[307] In October 1988, Frazier was indicted by a Medina County grand jury, charged with two counts of rape, one count of sexual battery, and one count of gross sexual imposition against his stepdaughter Tiffany Skiba. Frazier, who was married to Skiba's mother Susan Bednarski between 1980 and 1989, molested Skiba from the time she was eleven until she was fifteen in 1987, when he was imprisoned on the federal weapons charges.[308] He fathered a son, Keaton, with her, who was born on September 1, 1988.[309] Frazier was expelled from the Hells Angels as a result of the allegations.[310] Skiba was to testify against Frazier in a trial set to begin on December 5, 1990. On November 8, however, Frazier stabbed Skiba to death with a steak knife at her grandparents' home in Collinwood, Cleveland.[311] She suffered twenty-five stab wounds to the chest, neck, abdomen and arms.[312] He was apprehended in Sheffield Lake on November 12 after failing to appear for a pretrial hearing, and was subsequently charged with the murder of Skiba.[313] On August 16, 1991, Frazier was convicted of aggravated murder, aggravated murder committed purposely with prior calculation and design, and aggravated burglary. He was sentenced to death on August 29.[314] On September 8, 2003, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit granted Frazier's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, vacated his death sentence based on ineffective assistance of counsel, and remanded to the state court for re-sentencing. The trial court re-sentenced Frazier to thirty years-to-life on March 18, 2005.[315]
Hells Angels members Bradley Peterson and Dustin Wolf were arrested on misdemeanor assault charges after they were involved in a physical confrontation with off-duty Euclid police officer Todd Gauntner at a bar in Willoughby on August 24, 2018. Gauntner was charged with using a weapon while under intoxication for pointing a gun at the pair.[316] After initially being placed on administrative leave on September 10 for violating police department rules, Gauntner was fired by Euclid Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail seven days later after Euclid Police Department chief Scott Meyer recommended his termination.[317] Wolf and Peterson both pleaded guilty to aggravated disorderly conduct; they were each fined $200 and received a thirty-day suspended jail sentence. On November 29, Gauntner pleaded guilty to using weapons while intoxicated.[318] He was sentenced to serve five days in jail.[319] Gauntner, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the War in Afghanistan who sufferered from suspected post-traumatic stress disorder, committed suicide in the lobby of the police station he was terminated from on March 23, 2020.[320]
The Akron chapter was reestablished in 2015 when the Hells Angels founded a clubhouse in the North Hill neighborhood after amalgamating the North Coast Motorcycle Club.[321][322] In September 2018, HAMC member Robert Lee Greathouse was arrested at a rural cabin in Cadiz on charges of felonious assault following a shooting in Akron. Two pistols and a rifle were recovered out of the home at the time of his arrest. Greathouse became a fugitive in April 2019 after he was given a short-term furlough prior to beginning his prison sentence on the felonious assault case. He was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) in Bourbon, Indiana on June 3, 2019.[323]

South Carolina[edit]
Four members of the Charleston Hells Angels chapter – William M. Coldren, Samuel Edward Evans, Terry Dale Hiott and chapter president Horace Anderson Powell – were charged with conspiracy to violate codes involving the interstate transportation of an explosive device after being arrested in the Summerville area by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation] (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and Dorchester County Sheriff's Office on November 10, 1987. The four bikers allegedly conspired with other Hells Angels members in Alaska, California, Kentucky and North Carolina to kill and injure members of the Outlaws in revenge of the August 12, 1986 killing of HAMC member John Cleve Webb in Louisville, Kentucky.[324] The action against the Charleston faction was a result of Operation CACUS, a two-year Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation of the HAMC, during which a confidential informant and undercover agents acquired approximately $1.6 million of cocaine and methamphetamine, over twenty pounds of high explosives, three automatic weapons and two silencers from the club.[31][208] A total of 38 Hells Angels members were arrested on narcotics, weapons, explosives and conspiracy charges during a series of coordinated raids carried out in five states.[325]

South Dakota[edit]
In August 2008, a Hells Angels member was shot dead after getting into a barroom confrontation with a member of the Iron Pigs, a Seattle, Washington-based law enforcement motorcycle club, at the Sturgis motorcycle rally. The incident stemmed from the Iron Pigs' wearing of a "Washington" bottom rocker.[326]

Virginia[edit]
The Hells Angels recruited a club in Manassas as a prospect chapter in January 2004. The club lost status after being infiltrated by an undercover Fairfax County Police Department detective, which resulted in its members being indicted on gang membership and assault charges in Loudoun County.[35]
Haas became became a cooperating witness after being convicted on federal drug charges and sentenced to twenty-seven years in prison on March 31, 1994.[330] His testimony assisted in the murder convictions of Charles Anthony "Chuck" Diaz and Gerald Michael "Butch" Lester of the Vallejo, California HAMC chapter, who killed former Hells Angel William Ivan "Billy" Grondalski, his wife Patricia ("Patty"), five-year-old daughter Dallas and seventeen-year-old stepson Nolan Jerami Vandagriff at their home in Fort Bragg, California on October 5, 1986. Haas returned to the Grondalski home with Lester the following day and assisted in setting fire to the property in an effort to destroy evidence.[331] Lester was convicted on four counts of murder on November 6, 1997, and Diaz was convicted on one count on May 5, 2004.[332][333]
Washington[edit]
The HAMC established its first Washington chapter in Spokane in 1994.[35]

"Mouldy" Marvin William Gilbert
SPOKANE - "Mouldy" Marvin Gilbert says he's just a middle-aged guy who moved to Spokane from California so he could raise his daughter in a better environment.
Police say otherwise. Gilbert - a member of the Hell's Angels motorcycle club for 32 years - has one more arrest to add to his two dozen previous ones. He's being held in Spokane County Jail on $1 million bail after police, who raided the club's Spokane clubhouse, say they confiscated weapons and illegal drugs.[344]
convicted of the second-degree murder of a man in Oakland in 1972.[345]
died at the age of sixty-five on June 22, 2007.[346]
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) He's one California emigrant the local Chamber of Commerce may wish would have stayed home.
"Mouldy" Marvin Gilbert has been with the Hells Angels motorcycle club for 32 years, been arrested two dozen times, and was featured in "The Hells Angels," Hunter S. Thompson's 1966 book.
Today, he's being held in the Spokane County Jail on $1 million bail after police raided the motorcycle club's Spokane clubhouse and confiscated weapons and illegal drugs.
Gilbert maintains he's just a middle-aged guy who moved to Spokane recently so he could raise his daughter in a better environment.
"I'm 53 years old and they say I'm a drug dealer?" Gilbert said in a jail interview last week. "Let's get serious."
"I wanted to move up here and raise my 7-year-old daughter in an area that has four seasons," Gilbert said.
Gilbert left Oakland, where the Angels are based, last summer and became vice president of the Spokane chapter.
In Thompson's book, Gilbert and another Hells Angel, Terry the Tramp, were called "stinking hairy thugs" who were charged with raping 14and 15-year-old girls. Both were acquitted.
Police say Gilbert earned his special "Filthy Few" Angels patch by stomping a man to death for the club in the 1970s.
Washington State Patrol detectives arrested Gilbert and five others during a raid at the Angels' clubhouse on Jan. 5.

The Outlaws have two chapters in Finland with an estimated fifteen-to-twenty members.[13]
France[edit]
The first Outlaws chapter in France was established in Nantes in 1994.[14]
Germany[edit]
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost-Riders_MC
The Outlaws consist of 53 chapters and 600 members in Germany.[15]
Italy[edit]
New Zealand[edit]
The Hawke's Bay-based New Zealand Outlaws "patched over" to the A.O.A. in 2014.[18] The Lone Legion Brotherhood in Blenheim also later joined the Outlaws.[18]
The previously unrelated Outlaws MC in Napier, New Zealand "patched over" to join the Outlaws in 2014.[19] On March 29, 2021, the national president of the Outlaws, Peter "China" Lui was murdered outside the Napier club house.[20] Less than two months later, Outlaws member Seth Forde was arrested and later convicted of possessing firearms and explosives 'for protection' after the earlier murder.[21]
In New Zealand the club has chapters in the cities of Napier, Blenheim and Christchurch.[22]
The Outlaws MC of New Zealand, established in Napier in 1968, have since "patched over" to the international club[23]

England[edit]
Hells Angels member Gerry Tobin was shot dead from an adjacent car while riding his motorcycle on the M40 on 12 August 2007. Two shots were fired from two separate weapons, with one hitting him in the head. He had been returning home to London from the Bulldog Bash festival held near Long Marston, Warwickshire. In November 2008, seven Outlaws members – the club's entire South Warwickshire chapter – were convicted over his murder and sentenced to a total of 191 years in prison. Sergeant-at-arms Sean Creighton, who directed the operation and was one of the gunmen, had waited in a Rover with Dane Garside and Simon Turner in a layby on the A46 for someone wearing Hells Angels colours to pass. Three others, Karl Garside, Ian Cameron and Dean Taylor, were in a Range Rover further up the motorway. A seventh member, Malcolm Bull, was in a third car, apparently acting as a link between the two groups.[26] It is believed that Tobin, while selected at random, was killed due to the fact that the Hells Angels-run Bulldog Bash is held in Outlaws territory, and that the killing may have been sanctioned by Outlaws leadership in the United States.[27] Taylor died from cancer aged fifty-six while serving his sentence at HMP Full Sutton on 14 August 2018.[28]
Up to thirty Outlaws and Hells Angels members engaged in a brawl inside a terminal building at Birmingham Airport on 20 January 2008. After the two groups had found themselves together on a flight from Alicante, Spain, reinforcement were called to meet them at the airport and the subsequent confrontation involved knuckledusters, hammers, a machete and a meat cleaver, and left three men injured.[29] Four Outlaws – Mark Moseley, Neale Harrison, Mark Price, and Jeremy Ball – and three Hells Angels were convicted of rioting. All seven were sentenced to six years each in prison in June 2009. Increased security at the court, for the period of the trial, cost around £1 million.[30] Another Outlaws member, Joseph Patrick John Lagrue, absconded before handing himself in to police in September 2011. He was also convicted of rioting and was sentenced to four years in prison in December 2011.[31]
Eighteen people were arrested in a series of raids targeting the Outlaws across Gloucestershire and Herefordshire after police executed warrants for drugs and sex offences in September 2013. A firearm, a suspected stolen motorcycle, class A and B drugs, a banned breed of dog and offensive weapons were also seized. West Mercia Police stated after the raids that they consider the Outlaws an organised crime group.[32]
Outlaws members John Wafford, Gary Jenkins and Malcolm Sheen violently assaulted a member of the Caballeros, a rival motorcycle club, before forcibly removing his colours at a pub in Hereford on 9 November 2013. The trio were found guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery and were each sentenced to sixteen months in prison in December 2015.[33]
Five armed Outlaws members – Jez Ball, David Bird, Stephen Cooper, Robert Haywood and Dean Ramsell – attempted to extort £40,000 from the owner of a building firm after luring him to a bogus business meeting in Yelverton, Devon on 17 February 2018. Ball, who had worked for the victim's building firm but had fallen out with him over money, organised the attack. The plan failed when the builder was able to escape on foot across a field, and four of the bikers were arrested on the M5 as they headed back to their homes in Derbyshire and Leicestershire after being tracked by a police helicopter. All five pleaded guilty to false imprisonment. In November 2019, Ball was sentenced to four years' imprisonment, Cooper and Haywood to two years and eight months', and Ramsell and Bird for two years and four months'.[34]

Alabama[edit]
Arizona[edit]
Connecticut[edit]
Connecticut Department of Correction prison officers James Knight, Gary W. Piscottano and Randy Sabettini were fired on May 6, 2004 due to their membership of the Waterbury chapter of the Outlaws. Two other officers, Mark J. Vincenzo and Walter C. Scappini II, received formal counseling for associating with the Outlaws; neither had been a member of the club.[44] The men appealed against their dismissals, contending that their First Amendment rights had been violated. The U.S. Court of Appeals Second Circuit decided on December 21, 2007 to uphold the dismissals as the government regards the club as a criminal enterprise.[45]
Roger Mariani, a senior member of the Hells Angels in Connecticut, was shot and killed while riding his motorcycle on the Connecticut Turnpike in West Haven on April 2, 2006.[46] The shooting happened after a group of over twenty motorcyclists was involved in an altercation with four men travelling in a sport utility vehicle. Another Hells Angels member, Paul Carrol, was also wounded when shots were fired from the car.[47] Within hours of Mariani's killing, two Hells Angels – Trevor Delaware and Jeffrey Richard – were arrested near the home of an Outlaws member in Enfield, in possession of weapons including knives and a loaded gun as well as pages from a classified state police manual that lists identities and addresses of gang members. The pair were charged with weapons possession and theft of a license plate.[48]
The Hells Angels are considered suspects in the murder of Joseph "HoJo" Ferraiolo, the president of the Outlaws' Waterbury chapter, who died from multiple gunshot wounds after being ambushed outside a tattoo parlor he owned in Hamden on February 9, 2010.[49] No one has ever been arrested in the case, which police consider an open investigation.[50]

Outlaws member Clifford Hemmeler was arrested along with his wife Kelly after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) raided their home in Enfield on June 15, 2010, seizing four guns and illegal steroids. Clifford Hemmeler was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, and possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia. The raid was connected to a nationwide investigation which resulted in 27 alleged Outlaws members being indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia, although Hemmeler only was connected to the case in a peripheral investigation.[51]
Outlaws members engaged in a mass brawl with members of the Diablos which left two people injured at a bar in Plainville on May 16, 2019.[52]
The Enfield police raided a property belonging to the Outlaws on November 9, 2021. This raid was in relation to the August 5, 2021 homicide of 38 year old Jason Comes, in the neighboring town of Somers.[53]
Florida[edit]
The FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive#453, Taco Bowman, known World Leader of the AOA, in prison since 1999 for three murders, was the international president of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. During the time that Bowman was a fugitive in 1998, it had chapters in more than 30 cities in the United States and some 20 chapters in at least four other countries. In 2001 he was tried in Jacksonville, Florida,[54] Federal agents along with the Daytona Beach SWAT Team raided the Outlaws clubhouse on Beach Street in Daytona Beach, Florida[55] looking for drugs, weapons, contraband, paraphernalia, etc.; they tore the Daytona Beach clubhouse apart for the better part of the day and found nothing[citation needed], but removed as many of the club's pictures and any other possibly identifying information as they could find. Federal agents also raided a home in Ormond Beach and two other clubhouses around the state. The search of the Jacksonville clubhouses netted federal agents 60 weapons including pocket and kitchen knives.
U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced a Detroit grand jury indictment of 16 of the Outlaws National Club's members.[56] The Detroit grand jury indictment included various charges, including assault and drug distribution. Eleven Outlaws leaders and high-ranking members of the gang were arrested after a five-year investigation. The FBI said several gang members were charged with conspiracy to commit assault on members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in Indiana.
Members of the 69ers motorcycle gang killed Paul Anderson (president of the Cross Bayou Chapter in Pasco County, FL) in a targeted shooting, while Anderson was idling in a truck at a red light. Three members of the 69ers were arrested in December 2017 in connection to the killing.[57]
The Outlaws expanded into Florida from the Midwest after Detroit, Michigan chapter member Donald "Deke" Tanner began an association with James "Big Jim" Nolan, the president of the Iron Cross motorcycle gang in West Palm Beach.[58] In July 1967, the Outlaws "patched over" the Iron Cross and three other local biker gangs – the Cossacks, the Half Breeds and the Outcasts – to form the club's South Florida chapter.[59] The South Florida chapter was subsequently relocated to Fort Lauderdale.[60] The Outlaws underwent a significant expansion in Florida during the 1970s by absorbing other gangs, including the Regents in Jacksonville and the Iron Cross in Orlando.[61] By 2001, the Outlaws had established eight chapters with a combined membership of approximately 65 throughout the state.[62] The Outlaws have more chapters in Florida than in any other U.S. state, and are the preeminent motorcycle gang the state.[61][63] The club's South Florida faction is associated with the Mafia, providing security for strip clubs, and carrying out arson and extortion under contract from mobsters.[64]
Sex crimes[edit]
On November 14, 1967, five Outlaws members – Donald "Mangy" Graves Jr., Francis E. "Fat Frank" Link, Norman "Spider" Risinger, Joe "Squirrel" Sorsby Jr. and John "Crazy Johnny" Wables – kidnapped 19-year-old Christine Deese from a saloon before beating her and nailing her hands to a tree at a park in Juno Beach on November 14, 1967.[66] The torture was punishment for Deese withholding money she had made from prostitution from Risinger, her pimp.[67] Deese reported the incident to police after being released, and local bikers Link and Risinger were arrested within days. Graves, Sorsby and Wables, members of the Outlaws' Detrot, Michigan chapter, were captured two weeks later while being hidden by the Renegades, an Outlaws affiliate club in Detroit. After being extradited from Michigan to Florida, the trio were met at Palm Beach International Airport by state governor Claude R. Kirk Jr., who vowed to force the gang out of the state.[68] All five were charged with aggravated assault. Charges against Wables were eventually dropped, and Graves testified for the prosecution at the 1968 trial in which Link, Risinger and Sosby were convicted and sentenced to prison.[58]

On August 22, 1974, a 23-year-old woman from Daytona Beach was beaten, burned with cigarettes and lowered into a bathtub full of water, in which four Outlaws members attempted to electrocute her using electronic appliances, after she objected to taking orders from the Outlaws biker with whom she was living with.[65] Five Outlaws, including Henry "Funky Tim" Amis, were sentenced to prison sentences of between 15 and 20 years for the crime.[70]
Murders[edit]
The Outlaws are suspected to have committed approximately a hundred murders in Florida during the 1970s and 1980s.[71]

Fort Lauderdale quadruple murder[edit]
Drug trafficking[edit]
Beginning in the 1970s, the Florida faction of the Outlaws gained power and influence within the club by sourcing cocaine from Colombian and Cuban suppliers, which they then distributed to chapters in the Midwest and on the East Coast.[72] The Orlando chapter has used motorcycle parts businesses to transport cocaine to the Detroit and Louisville, Kentucky chapters.[64] In addition to cocaine, the Florida Outlaws are involved in the trafficking of designer drugs, marijuana and methamphetamine, with narcotics being smuggled from Haiti via air and sea. Outlaws members own property in South Florida where smugglers dock and unload their boats.[64][73] The club manufactures and distributes methamphetamine in the Fort Lauderdale area.[73]
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=89130 FBI Raids Outlaws Motorcycle Club Compound
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- In a precise and coordinated raid, the FBI searched buildings associated with the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in several cities Wednesday. Agents scoured a fenced compound in Arlington for hours.
With help from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the FBI searched a compound on Holland Street, near State Road 9A and Merrill Road.
As morning traffic buzzed by on the Southside Connector, the feds and their friends flooded the wooded side street. They stormed at least two large sheds, a house, and other buildings.
Signs hanging on the fence out front read "Outlaw" and "Clubhouse."
Neighbors -- too worried about retribution to talk on camera -- say agents banged on buildings in the back of the compound at about 7 a.m. Other officers and agents swarmed the main house.
The search that followed stretched into the afternoon.
The FBI wouldn't say what it seized inside the 1.5 acre compound of buildings and sheds.
Neighbors said agents brought out bags full of evidence and even hauled away some plants -- but they neighbors weren't sure what kind of plants.
The Arlington raid started at the same time as one in Daytona Beach and another in Citrus County, an hour north of Tampa.
"The indictment paints a picture not of a harmless group of motorcycle enthusiasts, but of an international, organized, and violent criminal gang," said U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Gonzales was in Detroit, where another raid snagged eleven Outlaws members who've been indicted for a range of crimes involving extortion, drugs, and guns. Five more Outlaws members from the Detroit area are still at large, Gonzales said.
"The indictment alleges that the defendants committed, attempted, and threatened to commit acts of violence to protect and expand the gang's criminal operations," Gonzales said.
Around six o'clock Wednesday, driving cars and a van stuffed with evidence from an eleven-hour search, the feds rolled out.
Then the Outlaws rolled in. A group of bikers roared down the road and pulled back into the fenced complex.
The FBI did not announce any arrests from their day-long Arlington raid, but Gonzales did promise more prosecutions in the future.
Gang wars[edit]
Hells Angels[edit]
Three members of the Hells Angels' Lowell, Massachusetts chapter – George "Whiskey G" Hartman, Edwin "Riverboat" Riley and Albert "Oskie" Simmons – were bound and gagged before being killed with shotguns by Outlaws members after being lured to a Broward County rock pit under the pretense of a drug deal on April 30, 1974. The killings were ordered by Outlaws South Florida chapter founder James "Big Jim" Nolan as revenge after Hartman, Riley and Simmons had assaulted a South Florida Outlaws member at a New Year’s Eve party in New York City. Simmons had left the Hells Angels in the weeks after the New Year’s incident, and Hartman and Riley travelled to Florida to retrieve club-issued regalia from him when they recieved a deceptive peace offering from the Outlaws in a purported narcotics transaction. Nolan was put on trial for the triple homicide three times and, after two mistrials, was found not guilty by a jury. The triple murder case against Nolan was built on the testimony of Billy "Gator Mouth" Edson and Ralph "Lucifer" Yannotta, two Outlaws who admitted their involvement in the massacre. Edson decided to cooperate after being arrested in a non-related case in Canada in 1976, naming himself, Yannotta and fellow Florida Outlaws Norman "Spider" Risinger and Henry "Funky Tim" Amis as those chosen by Nolan to eliminate the three Hells Angels. Yannotta followed suit, took the stand against Nolan and entered the Witness Protection Program. Amis was convicted of the murders; he was stabbed to death in prison almost decade a later. Risinger was apprehended in a routine traffic stop in rural Indiana in 1991.[74]

Warlocks[edit]
Outlaws bikers allegedly ambushed and robbed members of the Warlocks of their club "colors" and other personal belongings at gunpoint during what was purported to be a peace meeting in Orlando on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976.[76]
Pagans[edit]
The Outlaws have been involved in a rivalry with the Pagans in Central Florida.[63] The clubs first clashed at Daytona Bike Week in 1976.[77]

Infighting[edit]
The Outlaws' Tampa chapter was formed by former Jacksonville chapter president Wilson Tony "Roadblock" Harrell in 1975.[61]
Violent incidents[edit]
A Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office drug raid on the Outlaws' clubhouse in Tampa on October 14, 1976 resulted in a shootout when club member Harry Charles "Harpo" Ruby opened fire with a shotgun, leaving three sheriff's deputies wounded, including one – William Strickland – paralyzed.[78] Ruby was shot in the head by return fire and suffered brain damage.[79] He was charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder, possession of a short-barreled shotgun and possession of marijuana, while the other seven people in the house were also arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana and weapons. Charges against Ruby were dismissed in June 1979 as he was deemed unable to help with his defense due to his impairment.[80] On October 6, 1982, Ruby was again indicted on the three attempted murder charges as part of a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act case against the Outlaws. Declared competent to stand trial despite being brain damaged, partially blind and partially paralyzed, he was convicted on April 1, 1983 and died in federal prison in 2001.[81]
RICO cases[edit]
Sixteen patchwearing and probationary members of the Outlaws' Jacksonville and Tampa chapters were indicted by a federal grand jury on RICO charges on October 6, 1982. Ten of those were arrested in simultaneous raids carried out in Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Ocala, Buffalo, New York and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on November 2, 1982. Three others were already serving prison sentences, while a fourteenth club member was apprehended in Dallas, Texas in January 1983. Two others, Randall Frederick Perkins and Michael Edward Corbett, remain at large.[82] On April 1, 1983, thirteen of the fourteen were convicted on charges of murder, attempted murder, prostitution, extortion, drug distribution and witness intimidation. Sentencing took place on July 1, 1983, and individualized sentences of eight to forty years were imposed. Testimony at the trial from former Outlaws members and prostitutes who worked for the club revealed that the Outlaws were involved in the distribution of marijuana, cocaine and Quaaludes, and in a prostitution ring in Meridian, Mississippi.[81] The murder charge was related to the 1978 killing of Richard Earl "Ricky" Jones, who was shot dead in revenge for a drug rip-off in Jacksonville. John Joseph "J.J." Hall, the Tampa chapter president, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Jones' death and cooperated with investigators before entering the Witness Protection Program. Hall informed authorities that he and fellow Outlaws member Kenneth Robert Hart had murdered Jones, and also provided information on the February 8, 1981 contract killing of drug dealer Robert Lee Collins, who was in the process of testifying against several co-conspirators when he was killed in New Orleans, Louisiana by a car bomb planted by Outlaws members "Quick" Carl Henry Holley and Clarence Michael "Smitty" Smith.[83]

Ties between the Outlaws and the Chicago Outfit were established in 1977 by club members Martin J. "Marty" Curran and Thomas R. "Westside Tommy" Stimac.[181]
On May 30, 1981, three black males were shot outside the Outlaws' clubhouse on Roosevelt Road in Chicago by Outlaws member John C. "Burrito" Klimes, who was on guard duty that night. One of the victims died as a result of his wounds. After the shooting, Klimes became a fugitive and took refuge with the Outlaws in Tennessee for at least two months before returning to Chicago. His attempts to leave the club were blocked by Chicago chapter president Thomas Stimac. On one occasion, Stimac severely beat Klimes at the Outlaws clubhouse in a dispute over a drug business.[182] Klimes was killed by a bomb placed in his van in McCook on October 8, 1981, after which Klimes took over said drug business. The murder remains unsolved.[183]
Klimes[75]
The Outlaws were involved in a war with the Hells Angels in Illinois and Wisconsin between 1993 and 1995. The conflict commenced when the Hells Angels patched over the Hell's Henchmen in Illinois.
Thomas Stimac, a former Outlaws Chicago chapter president who had fallen out of favor with the club, was shot dead in his apartment in Lemont Township on July 22, 1999.[189] A prime suspect in the case is Orville "Orvie" Cochran, the then-Outlaws South Side chapter president. Stimac was dating Cochran's former girlfriend at the time of his murder. Cochran survived a shooting attempt outside the Outlaws' clubhouse in 2000, in what is believed to have been a retaliatory attack for Stimac's killing.[190]

The July 1978 near-fatal stabbing of Outlaws member Dale "Dummy" Larque prompted a war between the Outlaws and Sons of Silence in Indianapolis, Indiana which lasted until the early 1980s and resulted in a number of murders, including those of two bikers' girlfriends. The Sons of Silence chapter in the city had been established by Michael "Righteous Mike" Ramsey, a former Outlaws member who left the club in 1974 and later went on to become the Sons of Silence's national president. On March 5, 1980, Outlaws national vice-president Thomas Walter "Satan" Reeves was shot dead with an automatic rifle at the club's Indianapolis chapter headquarters. Authorities suspect Sons of Silence Indianapolis vice-president Steven Wayne "Crescent K" Kressin of the murder.[196] Bruce Birk Eastman was killed with a shotgun as he answered the door of the Sons of Silence Indianapolis clubhouse on 30 May 1984.[197][198]
An Outlaws member was murdered in Warsaw in 1979, allegedly by the Invaders motorcycle gang.[75]
On February 24, 1991, a large group of Outlaws were attacked by several members of the Sons of Silence at a motorcycle swap meet at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Shots were fired, three people were wounded, and two Sons of Silence members were arrested. Twelve guns and numerous knives were seized by police.[64] Alvin W. Wagerman, a probationary member of the Outlaws, was convicted of possession of a handgun with an altered serial number after being arrested while fleeing the scene.[199]

Kentucky[edit]
A member of the Outlaws' Louisville chapter pleaded guilty to reckless homicide for the killing of John Cleve Webb, a member of the Hells Angels' Anchorage, Alaska chapter who was shot outside a Jefferson County bar on August 12, 1986.[200] Five members of the Hells Angels' Anchorage and Oakland, California chapters, including reputed national leader Ralph "Sonny" Barger, were found guilty in October 1988 of conspiring to carry out bomb attacks in Louiseville and elsewhere against the Outlaws in revenge for Webb's murder.[201]

Louisiana[edit]
The Outlaws have served as contract killers for the New Orleans crime family, particularly during the reign of Carlos Marcello.[202]
Drug dealer Robert Lee Collins was killed by a bomb attached to his pickup truck in Algiers, New Orleans on February 8, 1981. Collins, who was in the process of testifying against several co-conspirators in a cocaine distribution trial, lost both legs and most of his left hand in the explosion and died six hours later from substantial blood loss.[203] The car bomb had allegedly been planted by "Quick" Carl Henry Holley and Clarence Michael "Smitty" Smith, two members of the Outlaws' Tampa, Florida chapter contracted by chapter president John Joseph "J.J." Hall to kill Collins. Hall headed a drug ring funneling cocaine to other Outlaws members for wholesale distribution and was supplied with the drug by Genovese crime family associate Anthony "Hialeah Tony" Scire.[204] Scire often gave Hall drugs on consignment and at the beginning of 1981, Hall owed Scire $30,000 in back payment. Scire offered reduce Hall's debt by $12,000 for assassinating Collins. The murder went unsolved until September 1983 when Hall and Holley informed investigators of their role in the bombing while on trial for racketeering. Hall, who was additionally charged the 1978 Jacksonville, Florida murder of drug dealer Richard Earl "Ricky" Jones, had been arrested in Buffalo, New York on November 2, 1982, while Holley was already serving a six year sentence at FCI Talladega in Alabama after being convicted of running a prostitution ring. Scire and Smith were convicted of Collins' murder on February 6, 1985 and sentenced to death. Hall and Holley were given immunity in exchange for their testimony in the trial.[83] Scire and Smith appealed their convictions, contending that the evidence used to convict them was based mainly on the testimony of two gang members with long criminal records, and that the judge had given the jury incorrect instructions regarding the meaning of reasonable doubt. On May 26, 1992, the Supreme Court overturned the convictions and death sentences of both men.[205] At a 1995 retrial, Smith was acquitted while Scire pleaded guilty to manslaughter; he was immediately released in exchange for time served.[206]
Maine[edit]
On June 15, 2010, the ATF surrounded the home of Thomas "Tomcat" Mayne. Gunfire was exchanged with the ATF, ultimately killing Mayne. The ATF was there to serve a federal search warrant for an indictment that included Mayne and 26 other members of the Outlaws, for RICO charges and for the shooting of a member of the rival Hells Angels.[210][211][212]

Massachusetts[edit]
On August 28, 2009, a former president of the Brockton, Massachusetts Chapter of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club was sent to jail for 262 months, for charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine.[213]
On June 15, 2010, 27 members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club were arrested in Massachusetts on various charges such as attempted murder, racketeering, and other violent crimes.[214]
Tensions between the Outlaws and the Hells Angels were heightened by the Outlaws' expansion into the Northeastern United States, which the Angels consider to be their own territory. An October 2002 National Drug Intelligence Center report listing newly established Outlaws chapters in the U.S. included eight chapters in the Hells Angels-controlled states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York. Both clubs reportedly began stockpiling weapons and body armor in preparation for confrontations during this period.[215] On February 23, 2002, police arrested 23 heavily-armed Outlaws members outside a club in Revere where Hells Angels had gathered.[216]

New York[edit]
On July 4, 1964, the Outlaws merged with the Cult, a small motorcycle gang from Voorheesville in upstate New York.[219] The club then became established in Buffalo via an amalgamation of the Chosen Few MC, which was the dominant biker gang in Western New York during the mid-to-late 1970s and maintained links to the Outlaws in the Midwest and Satan's Choice across the Canadian border in Ontario. The Chosen Few became a prospective chapter of the Outlaws in December 1980 before eventually "patching over". Subsequent factions were founded in the Southern Tier in 2001, Niagara Falls in 2012, and Silver Creek in 2019.[220] The Outlaws are involved in transporting cocaine into the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area from Florida[221] and have formed a working relationship with the Buffalo crime family, acting as enforcers and contract killers for the Mafia.[222]

Five people – William "Water Head" Allen, Bridgette "Midget" Benfield, William "Mouse" Droneburg, Randall Feazell and Leonard "Terrible Terry" Henderson – were shot dead in the Outlaws' clubhouse in Charlotte on July 4, 1979. Droneburg, Feazell and Henderson were club members, while Allen was a prospective member; Benfield was his girlfriend. The bodies of those killed were discovered by chapter president William "Chains" Flamont the following morning.[243] Two suspects, Gregory Scott Lindaman and Randy Allen Pigg, were identified in the case. Lindaman fled to San Bernardino, California where he was arrested on July 13, 1979 on an unrelated murder warrant that was issued by police in Mecklenburg County. After being extradited to North Carolina, he and Pigg were both interviewed by detectives although they were not charged due to a lack of evidence linking them to the murders.[244] The massacre remained a cold case until the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department announced on July 8, 2015 that they had closed the case, naming Lindaman and Pigg as the perpetrators. Both men were already deceased; Lindaman was killed in a traffic accident in Houston, Texas on October 15, 1990, and Pigg died from liver disease in Charlotte on October 5, 2007. Police believe that Lindaman had a personal feud with Henderson which led to the killings.[245]
Outlaws member Tommy Stroud was shot dead in Charlotte in February 1981.[246]

Two members of the Freeboarders, a club allied with the Outlaws, were assaulted by Iron Horsemen during a bar brawl in Camp Washington, Cincinnati on January 14, 1989 after inviting Outlaws members to a party at the bar.[249] Members of the Outlaws' Dayton chapter were meeting with Iron Horsemen members at a tavern in Mount Carmel on January 21, 1989 when a shootout erupted, killing two people – Outlaws national sergeant-at-arms Kenneth "Hambone" Hammond and New York Iron Horsemen member Kenneth Casella – and leaving another four hospitalized in serious condition. Freeboarders and Aeolas bikers were also involved in the shooting.[250] A week prior to the shootout, authorities received a report regarding an assault on two Outlaws members in Cincinnati by Iron Horsemen bikers.[251]

Pennsylvania[edit]
On March 17, 2009, 22 people—including a correctional officer—were charged in connection with a $3.6 million cocaine distribution ring operated by members and "wannabes" of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.[253]
On August 24, 2009, 15 members of the Outlaws Philadelphia chapter were arrested in connection with a methamphetamine ring. Those arrested included chapter president Thomas "The Boss" Zaroff and Lonzo "Death Row" Smith According to Pennsylvania District Attorney Tom Corbett, the club sold methamphetamine in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania and in Camden and Burlington counties in New Jersey.[254]

South Carolina[edit]
South Dakota[edit]
An Outlaws member was shot by a Sons of Silence member during a bar fight in which two other Sons of Silence bikers were stabbed in Sturgis in August 1990.[258]
Tennessee[edit]
On January 1, 2010, the Knox County Sheriff's Office in conjunction with the Knoxville Police Department raided a house located at 205 Clifton Road to serve two arrest warrants and execute a search warrant on the property, alleged to be an Outlaw clubhouse. Officers, including members of the SWAT team, raided the facility just before midnight but found only a handful of elderly club members, who surrendered quickly and peacefully. Knox County Sheriff James Jones acted on information from an undercover informant who said many of the members of the club would be present at the informal celebration of New Year's Eve. Arrest warrants had been issued for Mark "Ivan" Lester and Kenneth Foster for their alleged roles in a confrontation with the undercover informant earlier in December 2009. The informant had infiltrated the organization over 14 months previous. According to Sheriff Jones, Lester and Foster allegedly threatened the informant with a pistol and demanded the colors in his possession. By Club bylaws, Club colors always remain the property of the club and not of the individual member. The informant claimed to be in fear of his safety, and submitted to the men's demands. Mark Lester is alleged to be the Regional President in charge of the clubs operations in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee.
Both Lester and Foster were arrested at the residence and were charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping. Upon search of the residence the officers found a few legally owned handguns and small amounts of marijuana. They alleged they had evidence of other illegal activities. Both men were jailed and held in lieu of 3 million dollar bonds.[259] Other than the charges stemming from the club's unmasking of the undercover officer, however, no other charges have been filed. [259]
All charges against Mark Lester and Kenneth Foster were later dropped.[260]
Authorities estimate that the Outlaws control approximately 80% of the methamphetamine market in Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. The Tennessee Outlaws have also been involved in shipping stolen motorcycles and motorcycle parts to club chapters in Australia.[64]

On June 15, 2010, a grand jury in Virginia indicted 27 Outlaws members on various charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) related to participating in a criminal enterprise that engaged in assaults, kidnapping, drug dealing, illegal gambling, and attempted murder.[261]

In 1974, a violent feud began between the Outlaws and the Heaven's Devils, a biker gang with approximately 30 members in the Milwaukee area.[262] On April 26, 1974, nine Heaven's Devils bikers were robbed of their club colors at gunpoint by two Outlaws, Peter Olson and Thomas John Roehl, in the apartment of Heaven's Devils member Robert Potrykas. Olson and Roehl were convicted of armed robbery on September 19, 1974 and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment each after a number of Heaven's Devils members, including club president Michael Vermilyea, testified against them.[263] The homes of several Heaven's Devils' members were firebombed or strafed with gunfire shortly afterwards.[262] On November 5, 1974, fifteen-year-old newspaper delivery boy Larry O. Anstett was killed when an explosive hidden inside a cardboard box and left on the roof of an Oldsmobile belonging to Vermilyea exploded outside Vermilyea's home on North 83rd Street.[264]
The Sentinel offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the paperboy’s killer. Vermilyea’s father put up another $1,000

Outlaws members John Buschman and Joseph "Junkyard" Koller were convicted of first-degree sexual assault on April 13, 1980 after a woman was beaten and raped by four men at the Outlaws' clubhouse on the South Side of Milwaukee in May 1978.[265] Buschman was sentenced to five years in state prison.[262]
In 1993, a Hells Angels member was severely beaten by Outlaws members in Wisconsin.[194]

Red Devils[edit]
The first Red Devils chapter was founded in Sweden in November 2001.[1] The club has since expanded to Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, China, England, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States.[2]
Red & White Crew[edit]
There are Red & White Crew chapters in Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Malmö and two locations in Stockholm.[4]
The Red & White Crew had over four-hundred members in Denmark around 2000 but subsequently became independent from the Hells Angels.[6] Subsequently another youth branch AK81 was formed.
A Red & White Crew member was shot and killed on Gamla Tuvevägen in Gothenburg on 29 July 2007. A suspect was arrested but released due toa lack of evidence.[7]

Vietnamese organized crime refers to organized crime groups in Vietnam and ethnic Vietnamese gangs operating in other countries.
History of Vietnamese organized crime[edit]
Among the first organized crime group to emerge in Vietnam were the Bình Xuyên, which during the 1920s acted mainly as river pirates led by Dương Văn Dương,[8] before later becoming a legitimate military organization that at the same time nearly controlled the entire supply of opium of Vietnam in 1954.[9] With the arrival of Vietnamese independence in 1945 (in the North) and 1955 (in the South), organized crime activity, including protection rackets, were drastically reduced as both the Northern and Southern governments purged criminal activity in their halves of the country. In spite of this, organized crime continued to persist in both halves of Vietnam.
In the South, during the 1960s, the underworld of Saigon at the time was defined by the "Four Great Kings" period, where the city was ruled by the four top powerful mobsters who presided over much of the organized criminal activities and rackets within the city, such as the drug dens, prostitution houses, night clubs and casinos. These four gangsters were 1)Đại Cathay, 2)Huỳnh Tỳ, 3)Ngô Văn Cái and 4)Ba Thế, referred with veneration by the original Vietnamese saying, "Nhất Đại – nhì Tỳ - tam Cái – tứ Thế", referring to each of the four mobsters respectively by their level of dominance, with Đại Cathay referred to as being the king among kings in the city. Following 1975 and the reunification of Vietnam, the era of the Four Great Kings period came to and end, but Năm Cam would later come to form a dominant criminal group in Saigon during the 90s, where he was known for running numerous gambling dens, hotels, and restaurants that fronted for brothels, being said to have been going on a 15 year killing spree in Saigon where he eliminated his rivals. As such, he is often referred to as the godfather of Vietnam.[8][10][11][12][13]
Meanwhile, in the North, organized crime also existed, but it was much more masked from the general public and the government's eye, due to the North's more stringent control over organized criminal activity alongside stricter law enforcement. In spite of this, organized crime still managed to exist, most notably in the incidence of Khánh Trắng, the former President of the Đồng Xuân Labor Union in Hanoi, which was the first non-state trade organization in the city. At his height, Khánh Trắng's organization had received praise from the northern government officials as a model example of an organization that should be replicated. However, underneath the guise of operating a legal labor union, Khánh Trắng started to transform the union into a something like an organized crime group that extorted from the merchants in the Đồng Xuân market and creating unfair policies that usually resulted in fines against the local merchants, in which Khánh profited from.[14][15]
Another well known organized crime figure that originated from the North was Dung Hà, who was a female gangster from the city of Haiphong where she originally ran an illicit casino business alongside gaining numerous followers or disciples behind her. Other gangsters such as Hải Bánh also originated from the North, but some of them like Hải and Dung Hà later toke their operations to the south in order to expand their operations and become wealthier.[16][17]
In the modern era, organized crime in Vietnam is mostly concentrated in the northern regions such as in Hạ Long City and the nearby port city of Haiphong which are notorious for being hotbeds of organized crime groups that engage in activities such as smuggling, prostitution, drugs, and a myriad of other criminal activities. The Vietnamese mafia was nicknamed "the snake" by a Russian online source, stating that inside these organizations is a rigid hierarchy, iron discipline and total control over each member of community established.[8]
Criminal focus[edit]
Organizational structure[edit]
International activity[edit]
Australia[edit]
Vietnamese organised crime has been active in Australia since the 1980s, and mostly targets members of the Vietnamese community in crimes such as murder, extortion, robbery and drug dealing, with standover and extortion rackets being the most common. Head of the Victoria Police's Asian gang division, Detective Sergeant Stephen Pierce, was reported as saying in 1992: "Whilst the Vietnamese gangs lack organisation, they pose greater dangers due to their ease of mobility and transient nature, their random selection of targets, their lack of ties and ability to enact extreme violence upon their victims". Vietnamese groups are also involved in organising heroin shipments, either independently of or in association with established Chinese heroin trafficking operations, and operate at all levels of the heroin trade from street dealing to importing. In addition to purchasing from Chinese importers, Vietnamese gangs also wholesale to Romanian and Lebanese groups.
Canada[edit]
Czech Republic[edit]
There are approximately ten to fifteen Vietnamese gangs operating in the Czech Republic.[19]
Germany[edit]
Ireland[edit]
Vietnamese crime groups are prominent in the indoor cultivation of cannabis in Ireland.[20]

Sandy Fraser Alexander (August 8, 1942 – August 17, 2007) was an American outlaw biker and gangster who served as the president of the New York City chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) between 1969 and 1984.
Biography[edit]
Born into a wealthy family in Cuba, Alexander and his family moved to the United States when he was seven years old. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of eighteen, serving for five years in a reconnaissance unit. Following his military service, Alexander moved to California and became a "hangaround" of the Hells Angels.[1] He relocated to New York City in 1967.[2][3] In New York, he became a member of the Aliens Motorcycle Club, worked as a trapeze artist at the Electric Circus nightclub, and studied acting with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio before gaining employment as an actor and stuntman in film, television, commercials, off-Broadway and stock theatre.[4] Alexander had minor acting roles in The People Next Door (1970), Vigilante (1982) and other films.[5][6] He was also a professional boxer.[7]
Hells Angels[edit]
Alexander became president of the Aliens MC, an outlaw biker gang based in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan with ties to the New York Mafia.[8] In the summer of 1969, Alexander travelled to Oakland, California to seek permission from Hells Angels leader Sonny Barger to found an Angels chapter in New York. While he was in California, Alexander's wife was raped by fellow Aliens member Peter "Greased Lightning" Rogers, who subsequently fled to Florida and joined the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.[9] With the authorization of the club's leadership in Oakland, the Aliens "patched over" to the Hells Angels on December 5, 1969, forming the New York City chapter and establishing its headquarters in Manhattan.[10] As the founding president of the chapter, Alexander rose through the Hells Angels' hierarchy to a position of influence, second only to Barger,[11] leading the club's chapters in the Eastern United States and Europe.[12]
Rogers, meanwhile, also became a senior member of the Outlaws. On December 31, 1973, Rogers was recognised by members of the Satan's Soldiers, a Bronx-based club associated with the Hells Angels, as he rode his motorcycle into New York City wearing his Outlaws colors. After being alerted to Rogers' whereabouts, the Hells Angels dispatched the club's sergeant-at-arms, Vincent "Big Vinnie" Gerolamo, to find Alexander's rival. Gerolamo located Rogers at a New Year's Eve party, seized him and forcibly took him to the Hells Angels' clubhouse where he was held until Alexander arrived.[13] Rogers was subsequently beaten and almost killed by Alexander in a one-on-one fight.[14] In retaliation for the New Year's Eve incident, South Florida Outlaws chapter president James "Big Jim" Nolan allegedly ordered the killings of two members and a former member of the Lowell, Massachusetts Hells Angels chapter.[15] "Whiskey" George E. Hartman, Jr. and Edwin Thomas "Riverboat" Riley were identified by rival bikers seeking revenge for the attack on Rogers while on a visit to the Outlaws' territory in Florida to supervise the covering up of HAMC tattoos belonging to Albert E. "Oskie" Simmons, who had relocated to Orlando to operate a motorcycle shop after leaving the club in 1973 or earlier.[16] Hartman, Riley and Simmons were each bound with rope before being fatally shot in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun after being forced into a van at gunpoint and taken to a quarry near Andytown by Outlaws members Henry "Funky Tim" Amis, William Elbert "Gatemouth Willie" Edson, Norman Edward "Spider" Risinger and Ralph "Lucifer" Yannotta on April 27, 1974. They had earlier been lured to a Fort Lauderdale tavern under the pretense of a drug deal.[17] The Hells Angels determined that the Outlaws were responsible for the massacre after an internal investigation, and subsequently declared war on their rivals at a national meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, which was attended by representatives of every club chapter.[18] The conflict between the Hells Angels and the Outlaws has continued in the following decades.[19]
The New York City chapter began manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine in mid-1978, with Alexander providing the drug formula, vice-president Howard "Howie" Weisbrod supplying the phenylacetone used in the manufacturing process, and Paul Francis "K.C." Casey acting as the primary manufacturer. The methamphetamine was produced by Casey in clandestine laboratories on Staten Island and in Connecticut, and the drug enterprise subsidized the income of the chapter. After some members became frustrated with restrictions on methamphetamine distribution imposed by Alexander and other senior members of the New York City faction, a New York nomads chapter was formed on November 11, 1984 in order to distribute greater quantities of the drug than was permitted in the Manhattan chapter. The Hells Angels' Mid-State chapter, based in Binghampton and Troy, obtained narcotics from members of the New York City branch.[12] According to federal documents, the club utilized an extensive counter-surveillance system to prevent law enforcement infiltration that may have included a contact in the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and a federal prosecutor in Albany.[20] The Hells Angels also forged a loose alliance with the Genovese crime family, providing security and contract killings for the Mafia.[21]
Alexander created the concept for and co-produced the 1983 documentary film Hells Angels Forever.[22] One of the film's five credited directors, Leon Gast, departed the project after being slapped by Alexander.[23]
Alexander served as the New York City chapter president from its inception on December 5, 1969 until March 25, 1984, when he was succeeded by William "Wild Bill" Medeiros, another founding member of the chapter.[12]
Operation Roughrider[edit]
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began an investigation of the Hells Angels, codenamed Operation Roughrider, after Vernon Hartung, an inmate at FCI Petersburg in Virginia, contacted the bureau and became a confidential informant. Following his release from prison on April 2, 1982, Hartung was introduced to San Francisco Hells Angels chapter president Gary Kautzman by Robert "Hoss" Hall, president of the Richmond, Virginia-based Confederate Angels Motorcycle Club. Along with undercover FBI agent Kevin P. Bonner, the informant met with Kautzman on the pretext of seeking authorization to establish a HAMC chapter in Baltimore, a ruse which allowed Bonner to infiltrate the club over a twenty-six month period. Beginning in March 1983, Bonner posed as a Baltimore drug dealer interested in purchasing methamphetamine and cocaine from the Hells Angels, and he made narcotics transactions with members of nine chapters across the country, including Alexander, Weisbrod and Mid-State chapter vice-president James "Gorilla" Harwood.[25][21]
Operation Roughrider culminated with the arrests of 133 Hells Angels members and associates on racketeering and drug trafficking charges after over a thousand law enforcement personnel carried out approximately fifty coordinated raids in fourteen cities across the United States on May 2, 1985.[26] Alexander was among fifteen people taken into custody in the New York metropolitan area, where the New York City chapter clubhhouse in Manhattan was raided, and at least one Uzi submachine gun and an undetermined quantity of methamphetamine and cocaine were seized.[27] Alexander's wife, Colette, was also arrested with five other club members in the San Francisco Bay Area.[28][29] Medeiros, Harwood and another Hells Angel, John Joseph "Pirate" Miller, agreed to cooperate with the government and testified against their former clubmates before entering the Federal Witness Protection Program.[30]
On December 12, 1985, Alexander and Weisbrod both pleaded guilty to federal narcotics distribution charges, while chapter secretary Charles Neuman pleaded guilty to conspiracy.[31] Alexander was sentenced to sixteen years' imprisonment on February 13, 1986.
Later life and death[edit]
Alexander was paroled from prison in August 1993 and became estranged from the Hells Angels by 1994 as a result of a dispute over the ownership of the club's East Village headquarters.[32] Incorporated as the Church of Angels, the New York City Hells Angels chapter was registered as a nonprofit religious organization in the state of New York and purchased the building from Birdie Ruderman for a reported $1,900 in 1969. Alexander gained control of the property in 1983 and changed the deed to allow his family to live there rent free, specifying that proceeds from its sale should be divided among his heirs.[3] In an effort to seize the clubhouse as part of Operation Roughrider, the federal government filed a complaint against the building on May 1, 1985, alleging that it was subject to forfeiture under federal drug forfeiture laws, which had been amended by Congress on October 12, 1984, to permit forfeiture of real property used for narcotics-related activities.[32] Sandy Alexander, his wife Colette and the Church of Angels subsequently intervened as claimants in the action. The case was delayed in reaching trial partly because of Alexander's imprisonment. On February 4, 1994, after an approximately five-week trial, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the claimants, who they determined had proven that the premises was not used, or intended to be used, to commit, or to facilitate the commission of, a felony drug violation between October 12, 1984 and May 2, 1985.[12][33]
Alexander divorced Colette, who later relocated to Florida, and remarried Alison Glass Alexander. He had at least one daughter, Kimberly, from a previous marriage, and a son, Erik, who died aged twenty-one after being struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle on a causeway in Florida.[3] A resident of Jamaica, Queens, Alexander died at the age of sixty-five on August 17, 2007.[2]

Oakland Hells Angels chapter members John "Johnny Angel" Palomar, Manuel Frank "Manny" Rubio and Jacob "Jake" Sanchez began operating Siesta Catering, a San Leandro-based catering company, in 1975, and soon afterwards began a campaign of bombings and firebombings against rival catering companies. In October 1976, Raymond Canon sold his own catering company to the trio after surviving a grenade attack on his residence and a firebombing of his business.[47] Eight people, including Palomar, Rubio, Sanchez and Canon, were subpoenaed on July 18, 1978 to testify before a federal grand jury investigating possible links between the HAMC and the catering industry in the San Francisco Bay Area.[51] Siesta Catering was initially purchased by Sanchez for approximately $800,000 and was later sold by Rubio for around $6 million in 1980.[52]

Kenneth "Kenny" Yates, president of the Cleveland, Ohio chapter of the Hells Angels, was shot and wounded in the foot in Joliet, allegedly by Outlaws members who then robbed him of his colors, on September 18, 1987.[58][59] The incident reportedly occurred after Yates and another Hells Angel had planned an attack against the Outlaws using automatic firearms and other weaponry.[60]
The Hells Angels expanded into Illinois and Indiana in 1994 by patching over the Hell's Henchman Motorcycle Club, forming chapters in Chicago, Rockford and South Bend, Indiana. The club's expansion in the area resulted in a war with the Outlaws.[61]
The war between the Hells Angels and the Outlaws ended with a truce in 1996.[61]
The Hell's Henchmen chapters in Chicago and Rockford joined the Hells Angels on December 2, 1994.[63]

Reinhard Lutz, a member of the Zürich Hells Angels, became a fugitive wanted for trafficking 100 kilograms of cocaine, worth $5 million. Police theorized that Lutz fled to Brazil, where he was horbaroed by the club's Rio de Janeiro chapter.[76][101]
A six-year investigation of the Zürich Hells Angels by the Federal Office of Police cleared the chapter of being a criminal organization in December 2010. The investigation, which began in 2004, did, however, result in five members being charged with racketeering, drug trafficking and attempted kidnapping.[102] In September 2012, the former chapter president received a two-year suspended prison sentence for transporting and dealing marijuana, attempted blackmail, illegal restraint and kidnapping, a Lausanne-based club member received a ten-month suspended prison sentence for helping transport marijuana, a third member received a suspended fine of CHF7,200 ($7,751) for attempted kidnapping and illegal restraint, while charged were dropped against a fourth man. The drug charges related to the harvesting and selling a portion of a crop of several hundred kilograms of cannabis in Aarberg.[103]

Kennth Jay "Kenny" Owen (c. 1944 – July 4, 2016) was an American outlaw biker and gangster who was a senior member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in the San Francisco Bay Area and who was considered the world's leading manufacturer of methamphetamine.
Hells Angels[edit]
Owen joined the Hells Angels around 1968.[114] Howard Kohn of Rolling Stone magazine described Owen as a man with "a tall boxer’s physique — taut and virile as a Greek statue — and a fierce, untamed mass of black curls and beard, but his eyes are unfocused and his manner seems turbid".[114]
In the late 1970s, Owen was among the three main lieutenants of Sonny Barger in the Oakland chapter, along with James "Jim-Jim" Brandes and Sergey Walton.[114]

Death[edit]
Owen was released from prison on July 9, 2004.[128] He continued to reside in Oakland, where he died on July 4, 2016. Owen was survived by his wife, Debbie, and three daughters.[129]

has no fixed mother chapter[33]
Differing from other prominent motorcycle clubs, Pagans members do not wear a "bottom rocker" delineating the state which holds their membership; they instead wear a patch reading "East Coast", designating the entire East Coast of the United States as their territory.[45]
According to the Pagans' original national bylaws, the club's national president was to be paid the same salary as the President of the United States, and the "mother chapter" was responsible for overseeing organizational activities. The Pagans' bylaws underwent significant changes as a result of a 1983 RICO investigation into the club, which was successful in prosecuting over twenty members on weapons, narcotics and conspiracy charges. The club no longer uses clubhouses to conduct business; club meetings are instead rotated between members' residences.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Three-hundred members and seventeen chapters in New Jersey.[40]
The Pagans have associated with New York's Gambino and Genovese crime families in the fields of drug trafficking, contract killing and protection.[46]

https://www.nj.gov/sci/pdf/SCI%20Pagans%20Report.pdf
In August 2002, a Pagans member was detained by an officer of the New Jersey State Police for a vehicle infraction. During an inspection of the biker's motorcycle, it was discovered that the left handlebar had been modified to fire a .410 bore shotgun round.[33]
New York[edit]
There are 12 Pagans chapters in New York state; four on Long Island, four in upstate New York and four in New York City. The Bronx has traditionally been the club's base of operations in New York City.[53] The Pagans have associated with the Gambino and Genovese crime families in drug dealing, contract killing and enforcement work.[54]
In the spring of 1990, twenty Pagans members and associates were arrested in Schoharie County and Long Island on charges of manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine. The subsequent services of search warrants uncovered various amounts of the drug, as well as weapons, including handguns, AR-15 rifles and silencers, and what was classified as the largest mobile methamphetamine laboratory ever seized in the Northeastern United States. The laboratory had the ability to produce $1 million worth of methamphetamine monthly, and authorities believe the lab – which moved between locations in Long Island, upstate New York and North Carolina – had been in operation for approximately ten years. All twenty defendants in the case pleaded guilty.[45]
Hellsraiser Ball -
The Pagans allegedly intended challenge the Hells Angels' presence on Long Island, a longtime Pagan stronghold, and to kill Sonny Barger, who was attending an autograph signing at the event. The depletion of Pagans members which resulted from the Hellraiser Ball allowed the Hells Angels to expand into the Delaware Valley, and into Philadelphia in particular.[55]

The Pagans have been affiliated with the Philadelphia crime family in methamphetamine manufacturing, extortion and jewelry heists.[54][57]
Rhode Island[edit]
Virginia[edit]
Pagans membership in Virginia increased significantly in the late 1980s, from approximately five 1987 to around 45 by 1990.[45]
In 1990, several Pagans members were convicted of large-scale fraud after filing false claims for stolen cars and motorcycles.[45]
In August 1990, over two dozen Pagans members were arrested by the Virginia State Police in connection with a Richmond area drug ring. The bikers were indicted on charges including distribution of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine and LSD, as well as motorcycle theft, assault, robbery and firearms violations.[45]
Washington[edit]
West Virginia[edit]
https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs5/5266/overview.htm
35 Pagans members in West Virginia were charged with narcotics and weapons violations in January 1989 following the seizure of eleven kilograms of cocaine as well as automatic weapons – one of the largest cocaine seizures in the state's history. Motorcycle gang members and Colombian nationals were working in concert in the drug ring. All 35 were ultimately convicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and related charges.[45]

Florida[edit]
The Warlocks have provided security for the New Dixie Rights of the Ku Klux Klan in Apopka.[45]
Undercover agents purchased 26 machine guns, 84 homemade bombs, and two silencers from the Warlocks during a thirteen-month investigation. In a search for several members who were wanted for weapons and explosives trafficking, local, state and federal law enforcement officers held and searched approximately a hundred Warlocks bikers following the funeral of a murdered club member in March 1991. Twelve Warlocks members, including the national president, were arrested. The raid came on the eve of an annual motorcycle rally in Daytona Beach, which authorities believe could have been used as an opportunity for violence by the Warlocks and the rival Outlaws.[45]

Robert "Chico" Mora (October 18, 1955 – January 1, 2014) was an American outlaw biker and gangster
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10215310402729425&set=pcb.657867597726346
In 1980, Mora shot and killed two members of a rival club in Globe. He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to manslaughter, and was released around half of his sentence.[69]
claims that the Bad Company bikers were harassing members of the community and “acting like jerks.”[70]
Mora had been dispatched to Globe from Tucson with the purpose of establishing a Dirty Dozen chapter in the city. The Bad Company of New Mexico were against it. 11 Dirty Dozen members were arrested that weekend. Mora, with his attorney Chuck Weninger by his side, turned himself in to Gila County Sheriff Lyman Peace on the Monday after the shooting. Mora was charged with first-degree murder, his bond set at $2 million. Mora claimed self-defense, sating that the two Bad Company bikers ambushed him in the bar's bathroom. In October 1980, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in December 1980. Paroled in 1982, he became president of the Tucson chapter. Mora ruled Tucson, with local cops sometimes looking the other way and allowing the Dozen to keep out other bike clubs, according to some sources.[69]
Bad Company were also attempting to found a chapter in Globe. Mora served sentence at Florence.[71]
involved in methamphetamine trafficking[72]

Mora's last months[69]
there had been votes in previous years on the motion to merge with HA, but they had been unsuccessful until 1996, when Mora’s campaigning finally paid off. A majority of the about 80 members present voted yes. The 30-year reign of the Dozen in Arizona was kaput. Those patching over took 14 months to “prospect” as Angels, and in 1997, they officially became members of a worldwide brotherhood of outlaws.[69]

Missoula, Montana has been the location of several motorcycle gang-related homicides, as well as inter-gang assaults and shootings.[2]
In September 1989, an arsenal of weapons – including four semi-automatic Mac-10s, two Uzis, fourteen silencers, eighteen revolvers, 48 blasting caps, ammunition, and an Alameda County Sheriff's Office identification badge – was recovered by authorities in Newark. The weapons were stashed in storage lockers rented by Oakland Hells Angels chapter member Robert Dean Sandy.[2]
An investigation coordinated by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) in 1989 and 1990 into the Sons of Silence's involvement in a cocaine ring resulted in several arrests and the seizure of over a hundred weapons, including a machine gun, $50,000 in cash, and property. The vice-president of the Commerce City Sons of Silence chapter was charged with continuing criminal enterprise, and narcotic and weapons violations. A second phase of the indictment also led to four additional members being charged with drug conspiracy. Seven people were ultimately convicted in the case.[2]
The Sons of Silence have since been overtaken in membership size by the Mongols, and remain the sixth-largest biker gang in the U.S.[1]
An increasing number of seizures of clandestine methamphetamine labs in rural Oregon in the late 1980s and early 1990s was attributed to the Hessians. The Hells Angels allegedly provided the Hessians with money to purchase property, glassware and chemicals in order to manufacture meth. In return, for every five pounds of the drug produced, four pounds reportedly went to the Hells Angels.[2]

The Devils Diciples became involved in a violent dispute with the Bandidos, which was settled after representatives of both clubs met in Mobile in February 1982. Around this time, the Devils Diciples were also placing dancers controlled by the club in go-go bars in Birmingham, allegedly by threatening bar owners at gunpoint.[16]

Vincent Paul Diorio (July 13, 1929 – March 16, 2010) was a soldier in the Genovese Connecticut faction. The son of Josephine (née Rizzuto) and Antonio Diorio, he was born in Bridgeport and served in the U.S. Army before settling in Shelton. Diorio and his wife, Italia Fonzone, had two daughters, Joanna and Patricia.[1]
Diorio was indicted by a grand jury on charges of illegally possessing three shotguns and a rifle after state and federal authorities raided his home on April 10, 1980. The search was related to an investigation into the murders of Connecticut mob associates William Shamansky and Joseph Rabbitt, who were each shot dead on April 7 and 11 respectively.[2] Diorio was questioned by police in relation to the Shamansky and Rabbitt murders, but no charges were brought against him.[3]
Diorio died at Griffin Hospital in Derby on March 16, 2020 at the age of 80.[4]

In 1967, four Hells Angels members invaded a migrant labor camp in Pompano Beach, seeking revenge for the beating of two club members near the camp. In the ensuing brawl, Catalina Flores, an eleven-year-old girl, was shot and killed by a stray bullet.

| Founding location | Lodi, California |
|---|---|
| Territory | San Joaquin County |
| Ethnicity | Mexican American |
| Activities | Drug trafficking |
| Allies | Mayans |
| Rivals | Grim Bastards, Sons of Anarchy |
The Calaveras Motorcycle Club is a Mexican American motorcycle club based in Lodi. A small and low-ranking gang whose income comes from using a janitorial supply warehouse as a front for drug trafficking, the Calaveras serve as a puppet club for the Mayans. The club colors are red, green and white (the national colors of Mexico) and their patch is a trio of skulls with centre skull donning a crown paired with white and red roses.
Historical leadership[edit]
President[edit]
- unknown–2010 – Hector Salazar – Excommunicated.
- 2010–present – Roscoe
Vice President[edit]
- unknown–2010 – Roscoe – Promoted to President.
Sergeant-at-Arms[edit]
- unknown–2010 – Edgar – Murdered.
Edgar[edit]
- Played by: Louis De La Costa
- Appears in: "Widening Gyre"
The Calaveras sergeant-at-arms, Edgar is responsible for the murder of Grim Bastards vice president Lander Jackson, shooting Jackson in the back as he is eating breakfast before leaving a knife buried in his skull. While attending a motorcycle rally with their club, Edgar and Salazar are confronted by the Mayans, Grim Bastards and Sons of Anarchy. After being taken to a bathroom and threatened, Salazar outs Edgar as Jackson's killer and Grim Bastards president T.O. Cross kills Edgar in retaliation with a gunshot to the head.
Luisa[edit]
- Played by: Tara Macken
- Appears in: "Oiled", "Widening Gyre", "Lochán Mór", "Turas", "Bainne", "June Wedding"
Luisa is Hector Salazar's old lady. Following the Calaveras' attack on a Sons of Anarchy prospect's funeral, SAMCRO attack Hector and Luisa at their home and interrogate Hector before freeing him. Luisa later helps Hector in the kidnapping of Tara Knowles, girlfriend of SAMCRO vice president Jax Teller, and Knowles' work colleague Margaret Murphy.
Pozo[edit]
Pozo is one of the Calaveras members tasked with carrying out a drive-by shooting on the funeral of the late SAMCRO prospect Kip "Half-Sack" Epps, which wounds several mourners. When police open fire on their van, the Calaveras drive off at speed which causes Pozo to fall out and he left behind. After being apprahended by the Sons of Anarchy, SAMCRO vice president Jax Teller brutally beats Pozo, breaking his jaw, cheek, and nose. Pozo is then arrested and taken to St. Thomas Hospital, where he is kept under guard and eventually agrees to testify against the Calaveras. However, before he can turn informant, he is killed by SAMCRO enforcer Tig Trager at the hospital by cyanide injection.
Roscoe[edit]
- Played by: Joseph Julian Soria
- Appears in: "Widening Gyre"
Roscoe is a Calaveras member named as president by Marcus Alvarez following the excommunication of Hector Salazar, therefore it is likely that he was previously serving as vice president.
Hector Salazar[edit]
Nordics[edit]
| Years active | –2010 |
|---|---|
| Territory | Charming, also active in the California state prison system |
| Ethnicity | European American |
| Membership | 15–20 |
| Activities | Drug trafficking, prostitution |
| Allies | Aryan Brotherhood, L.O.A.N., Mayans |
| Rivals | Sons of Anarchy, as well as some of their former allies |
The Nordics, also known as the Nords, is a peckerwood gang that first appears in season one and is dissolved after season two. A street and prison gang led by Ernest Darby, the Nordics are involved in all aspects of the methamphetamine trade, producing, transporting, and distributing the product themselves, mainly to truckers and Hispanic street gangs. Their other activities include heroin dealing and prostitution. With its primary headquarters at the Hairy Dog Lounge, the gang is based in and around Charming and is said to consist of around 15–20 members, some with ties to the Aryan Brotherhood, though their own white supremacism tends to be much more lenient than that of the AB. The Nordics also have a presence in the state prison system; Darby provided protection for SAMCRO member Opie Winston while they were imprisoned at Chino prior to the events of the series and it is mentioned that two Nords are imprisoned in Pelican Bay for sex crimes.
At the beginning of the series the Nordics have an alliance with the Mayans, Darby having made a deal with Mayans Oakland charter president Marcus Alvarez allowing the Mayans to supply the Nordics with heroin to sell at street-level. Their drug pushing puts them at odds with SAMCRO, and Darby and his lieutenant Whistler are warned to keep their drug operations out of Charming. Tensions are further increased when SAMCRO vice president Jax Teller assaults and severely beats Nordics member Izzy for selling meth to his pregnant wife, Wendy Case, who subsequently overdosed and went into premature labor. SAMCRO later destroy a Mayans drug warehouse in San Leandro, killing Whistler and several Mayan footsoldiers. Darby meets with Alvarez and suggests teaming up to force SAMCRO out of town. Alvarez disagrees, but still offers the Nordics muscle to protect their drug dealing. When Darby receives a letter from rogue ATF agent Josh Kohn containing a file on SAMCRO’s dealings with the IRA, he sets up a meeting with Alvarez and offers to give him the file if he kills Clay Morrow, the President of SAMCRO, allowing the Nords and the Mayans to take over drug dealing and gun-running in Charming, respectively. However, Alvarez double crosses him and instructs his son, Esai, to assassinate Darby as well. Esai attacks Darby at his home, killing a Nordics footsoldier and the two women accompanying, though Darby manages to hide and is taken into custody by the police. In his cell, Clay convinces Darby to let SAMCRO handle the retaliation against the Mayans.
In season two, A.J. Weston, an Aryan Brotherhood member and lieutenant of Ethan Zobelle, the leader of the League of American Nationalists, visits Darby to discuss a prospective alliance between their organizations. Weston is disgusted by Darby's hiring of nonwhite employees, but nonetheless gives him funding to restart his meth and prostitution operations inside Charming, and Nordics later provide extra muscle for Weston's AB crew. SAMCRO continue their vigilante campaign against the Nordics' drug pushing, attacking a Nord dealer at a lumber mill who has the Aryans come to his aid, and later demolishing a Nordic meth lab. The League detonates a car bomb at SAMCRO’s clubhouse in retaliation, but Nordics' and L.O.A.N.'s partnership soon ends; Darby is arrested by police in the aftermath of the bombing and, although he denies any knowledge of Zobelle’s activities, he is able to identify Polly Zobelle based on a description, while Zobelle begins to betray Darby behind his back, intending to destroy the Nordics to prove that the town is capable of getting rid of criminal gangs like SAMCRO. He pays several porn actresses to do a temporary prostitution job for Darby, then tips off deputy police chief David Hale who arrests them. Next, Zobelle and Weston give Hale the addresses of the Nordics’ meth lab and brothel. Hale enlists the help of Clay Morrow, who attacks the brothel before burning down the meth lab. Enraged by Zobelle’s betrayal, Darby accuses Zobelle of selling him out. Zobelle offers him a chance to get recompense against SAMCRO, which Darby takes. He goes with Weston and several other Aryans to burn down the SAMCRO-owned Cara Cara porn studio. However, L.O.A.N. use this as an opportunity to get rid of him, knocking him unconsious and leaving him to die in the fire.
In season three, Ernest Darby is shown to have survived the fire, albeit the side of his face is scarred by the flames. He reveals that the Nordics have disbanded, and that he has gotten out of crime for good.
Ernest Darby[edit]
Eddie Gerber[edit]
Izzy[edit]
Izzy is a methamphetamine dealer working for the Nordics who makes his debut in the series' premiere episode, "Pilot", and is last seen in the season two episode "Fa Guan". Wendy Case overdoses on meth bought from Izzy, causing her to give birth birth to her son Abel ten weeks premature which leaves him in critical condition. Upon hearing the news, the father Jax Teller hunts down and assaults Izzy at the Hairy Dog Lounge, beating his severely and skewering his testicle with a pool cue. Later, at a meeting with Darby and Whistler, Clay Morrow provides a .357 Revolver as a "get-well present" for Izzy while Jax remarks on that they figured they'd give him "something with balls". He plays a recurring role through the series' second season, and is shown continuing to work for Ernest Darby in the background until the Nordics are dissolved.
Whistler[edit]
- Played by: Uncredited
- Appears in: "Pilot"
Whistler is the second-in-command of the Nordics and the best friend and right-hand man of Ernest Darby. He makes his only appearance in the pilot episode and is the first character to be killed by Jax Teller in the series. Whistler is first shown alongside Darby when the pair are threatened at a diner by SAMCRO leaders Teller and Clay Morrow to cease their drug operations in Charming. SAMCRO members later discover that the Mayans have a drug and guns warehouse in San Leandro that they decide to destroy. Whistler arrives at the warehouse before Jax can plant the explosive charges and shoots Jax in the back. Jax is able to return fire and kills Whistler. He is later referenced in the episode "Fun Town"; while searching for the rapist of Tristen Oswald, Clay and Tig Trager go to find Darby at St. Thomas Hospital and Tig remarks "You remember Whistler right? Haven't seen him in a while. It's weird how people can just disappear like that."
Johnny Yates[edit]
- Played by: Brett Wagner
- Appears in: "Fun Town"
Johnny Yates is a convicted sex offender and former members of the Nordics who makes his only appearance in the season one episode "Fun Town". Yates was briefly a member of the Nordics but "never fit in", according to Darby, and he left the gang after having his nose broken by Whistler. He eventually became a born again Christian and turned his life around, and lives with his mother, a breeder of fighting dogs, in Pope. Yates comes under suspicion of SAMCRO after Tristen Oswald is raped at a carnival and they track him down at his mother's home, bursting in on a prayer group meeting. He is able to provide an alibi and they apologize.

Don Nakaya Nielsen (July 4, 1959 – August 15, 2017) was an American kickboxer, professional wrestler and actor who competed in the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.
Kickboxing career[edit]
Don Nakaya Nielsen was born in Los Angeles and was of partial Japanese descent through his grandmother. His early background in martial arts included earning the rank of black belt in Tang Soo Do and winning a Golden Gloves gold medal in amateur boxing. He also attended Whittier College on a football scholarship.[50] Nakaya Nielsen began his professional kickboxing career training under Benny Urquidez as a full-contact competitor and ended his career as a Muay Thai stylist coached by Master Toddy.[51]
He came to prominence during his early career by facing notable opponents such as Brad Hefton and Maurice Smith and winning the WKA United States Cruiserweight (-86.0 kg/189 lb) Championship, WKA International Heavyweight (-95.0 kg/209 lb) Championship and UKF World Heavyweight Championship. Following his success in the US, he began fighting in Japan in 1986 where he achieved further notability.
Nakaya Nielsen became the IWA United States Cruiserweight Champion when he defeated Charlie Archer by third round knockout on the undercard of a New Japan Pro-Wrestling card headlined by Antonio Inoki vs Masa Saito at Osaka-jō Hall on March 26, 1987.[52] He then challenged Kevin Rosier for the WKA World Super Heavyweight (+95.0 kg/209 lb) Championship on May 14, 1989, losing by KO in round six. On September 5, 1989, Nakaya Nielsen faced Rob Kaman in Tokyo. He was floored by Kaman's powerful low kicks numerous times throughout the bout, beating the referee's count in round two before being stopped with a right hook in round three.
Towards the end of his career, Nakaya Nielsen twice lost to Japanese karate stylist Masaaki Satake; in Satake's kickboxing debut on June 30, 1990 and again on June 5, 1993 at K-1 Sanctuary III in a UKF World Heavyweight Championship match.
Professional wrestling career[edit]
He was also featured as a playable character in the video game Virtual Pro Wrestling 64.
Later life and death[edit]
Don Nakaya Nielsen graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles in 1986 and, following his retirement from kickboxing in 1993, became one of the first chiropractors to establish a practice in Bangkok. He had previously came to the city to train in Muay Thai under his Japanese management team and after living and training in various Muay Thai camps discovered that the chiropractic profession had not yet been established in Thailand.[50][53]
Nakaya Nielsen died at the age of 58 when he suffered a heart attack during surgery in Bangkok on August 15, 2017.[54] He was survived by his wife and three sons.[51]

Paul Kersey[edit]

| In-universe information | |
| Alias | Kimble Dr. Carter |
| Nickname | Mr. Vigilante |
| Occupation | Architect |
| Spouse | Joanna Kersey |
| Children | Carol Toby |
| Relatives | Jack Toby (son-in-law) |
Paul Leonard Kersey (played by Charles Bronson) is the protagonist of the series. Originally based on the Paul Benjamin character from Brian Garfield's 1972 novel Death Wish, the sequels make a complete breakaway from the novel and redefine the Paul Kersey character.
Kersey was born in the early 1920s to an English-American father and a Mormon mother from Provo, Utah. His Norman English ancestor, Pierre Whítmoré Keèrsye, anglicized his surname to Kersey. Paul was raised around guns and became a skilled shooter as a child. However, his mother prevented him from being around guns after his father was killed in a hunting accident. He served in the Medical Corps on a hospital ship in the Pacific theatre during World War II from 1944 to 1945. After the war, he entered Princeton University and graduated with a degree in civil engineering. He met his wife Joanna at Princeton. They soon married and their daughter Carol was born in New York City in 1951. He was a conscientious objector in the Korean War and served in the Medical Corps again in 1953. After returning home to New York City, he became a successful architect.[1]
Potragonists[edit]
Both games in the Mercenaries series feature the following three characters as the protagonists.
Chris Jacobs[edit]
Chris Jacobs (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a bald, cigar-smoking American mercenary. Born in San Jose, California in 1973 to an African American United States Army colonel father and a Korean interpreter mother, he dropped out of high school to follow in his father's footsteps. Jacobs spent seven years in Delta Force, and served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan. However, he became disillusioned as he saw his commanding officers show unethical behavior towards his fellow troops. This culminated with a joint-operations mission with the SAS which resulted in the deaths of five of his men. When his tour ended, Jacobs left the Army and became a mercenary with ExOps, a private military organization, in 2003. With ExOps, and on his own, he plied his trade in Libya and Senegal before the events of the games in North Korea and Venezuela.
Jacobs speaks Korean. According to the Mercenaries 2: World In Flames website, Jacobs' favorite music genres are gangsta rap and soul music.
Jennifer Mui[edit]
Sergeant Jennifer Mui (voiced by Jennifer Hale) is a British stealth expert. Mui was born in Hong Kong to a British cultural attaché father and a Chinese diplomat mother in around 1975. Her parents divorced when she was twelve years old and she then moved to England with her father when he got a promotion, but still remained close to her mother who was in Hong Kong. She excelled at studies and athletics as a child and later joined the British Army, where she served in the Parachute Regiment and Special Air Service. She was later accepted into MI6, but was not satisfied by her pay which led here to become a mercenary with ExOps in 2001. In addition to the North Korean and Venezuelan conflicts portrayed in the games, previously served in Iraq.
Mui is an expert in stealth operations and can speak Chinese. Her favorite music genres are Britpop and indie rock.
Mattias Nilsson[edit]
Mattias Nilsson (voiced by Peter Stormare) is a Swedish biker. Nilsson was born in Arvidsjaur, Sweden circa 1977 and was a juvenile delinquent in his youth. He joined the Swedish Navy at 17, and served as an artillery officer, and later as an Arctic Ranger in the Swedish Army. After leaving the military, he was involved in criminal activity and was a member of a local biker gang. After escaping from a Swedish prison, he became a mercenary to satisfy his thirst for destruction and money and joined ExOps in around 2007. On ExOps' payroll, and as a free agent, Nilsson fought in a number of warzones around the world including Kosovo, Montenegro, Senegal, East Timor prior to the events of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.
Nilsson is fluent in Russian.
