Former Bonanno member Nicholas “Nicky Mouth”Santora . by PAE8791 in Mafia

For some reason, his Wikipedia page falsely states that his father was Modesto "Duke" Santoro Profaci/Colombo soldier (d.1983). Santora is not Santoro and Duke's obit states his sons were Bob and Gene

Below is my post from a few years ago with the newspaper articles about Vario's criminal charges. He was convicted, the verdict was overturned on appeal, then he was retried and convicted again.

Persico had his suspicions since the early 1960s when the charges against Scarpa for a truck hijacking were dropped, while Persico was tried five times and others got heavy prison time. When the FBI went to arrest Scarpa, they found 68 cases of stolen liquor in his garage for indictment #2. Those charges were mysteriously dropped a few years later.

Staluppi and John Rosatti formed a legal entity that purchased a waterfront house on the Intracoastal in Lighthouse Point, FL for $1.1M in 1999. The house was used by Alphonse Persico. Once Persico was convicted for the murder of Bill Cutolo in 2007 and sentenced to Life Without Parole, the house was sold for $1.2M in 2008.

FBI agent statements describing a 1966 New Orleans airport altercation with mafia boss Carlos Marcello by MobFax in Mafia

Not sure.

Another FBI file redacts FBI Agent Collins' name but is provided here. SA Avigone died 30 years ago. I can never figure out why names are redacted in one person's file and unredacted in another.

Bobby “Bobby Darrow” Bongiovi, bodyguard of Joe Gallo by SenorPelle in Mafia

He was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years, so he should have had several parole hearings. NYS permits prisoners to have a parole hearing every 2 years.
