Dr. Giacchino Helps Outfit Attack Fosco
Posted on 29. Apr, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Announcements, Organized Crime
I have pointed out in recent articles some of the major obstacles that I have overcome recently. The most tragic would have to be the loss of my wonderful, loving and generous 90-year-old grandmother. My only major victory would have to be beating cancer. However, those matters are merely the tip of the iceberg as [...]

A little more than a week to go and I think I might just snap. In the midst of all the truly newsworthy and important stories dominating the world stage (particularly the plight of so many Middle-Eastern people struggling desperately against the tyranny of kings and autocrats) we are drowned in the media deluge of [...]
Happy Anniversary Dr. Giacchino
Posted on 19. Apr, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events
April 22, 2010 has a dual significance in my life. It was the day that I was diagnosed with nearly a Stage III blood cancer. I was told it would take my life within one year if I refused treatment, an option I was seriously considering. It was also the day that Illinois State Drug [...]

Chicago Outfit bosses Joseph Aiuppa and Jack Cerone definitely ordered the hit on Outfit-member Charles “Chuckie” English that took place on February 13, 1985 in front of the old Horwaths’s Restaurant in Elmwood Park, Illinois. However, it was Johnny DiFronzo that organized how the hit was executed. As we have learned, most Outfit hits are [...]
Small Potatoes
Posted on 08. Apr, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
The GOP has accomplished some pretty impressive work on the (much delayed) 2011 budget. All the extensions on the budget have come with some sort of a cut, and the final product promises even more – that is if they could get it done. It is no shock that the Democrats are (grudgingly) fighting such [...]
DiFronzo Authorized Hit On The Hatch
Posted on 02. Apr, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Organized Crime
The ownership of the now defunct CMS Trucking, Inc. of Melrose Park, Illinois, is the basis of an interesting story. The initials CMS stand for the last names of the three owners, Tony “The Hatch” Chiaramonti, Michael Magnafichi and John Spizzirri. Chiaramonti was a longtime Outfit enforcer, Magnafichi a longtime Outfit bookmaker and Spizzirri was [...]
