About The MOB
N
Frank Nitti
? to March 1943.
Nitti rose through the ranks of the Chicago mob under his relative Al Capone and served as Capone's underboss.
When the boss was jailed for income tax evasion, Nitti took control of the Chicago underworld and looks to have had a good deal more control of it than Capone ever did. Chicago still had its gang conflicts but nothing like the warfare and bloodshed of the Capone Era.
Facing extortion charges relating to the show business industry, Nitti apparently committed suicide in 1943.
Antonio Notaro
Notaro was hastily initiated into the Brooklyn Camorra by Pelligrino Morano in 1916. The Neapolitan Camorrists were in the middle of a feud with Sicilian Mafiosi based in Manhattan. Morano, the Camorra leader, called on Notaro to act as an assassin. Morano lured Mafia leaders Nicholas Morello and Charles Ubriaco to Brooklyn for a supposed peace conference. On their way, the two were ambushed and shot to death. Notaro later told police all about the incident, his role in it and the Camorra initiation. He served as a government witness in the successful prosecution of Morano and aide Alessandro Vollero.
