Sam Scro – The Invisible Mafioso of Syracuse, NY
The New York Mafia

This isn’t another bloody underworld shoot-em-up story, not at all. There are plenty of mob tales like that already. To the contrary, this unique biography delves into the often quiet but complex interwoven blood ties and behind-the-scenes familial relationships existing between Cosa Nostra figures and borgatas. The early development of Cosa Nostra in America ..read more

Marco (Mimi) Li Mandri – A Deceptively Shrewd Mafioso
The New York Mafia

3w ago
Technically speaking, within the ranks of Cosa Nostra, Marco Li Mandri formally held the rank of a soldier. Nothing more, nothing less. No law enforcement agency, whether they be a local police department or a federal agency like the FBI or the Federal Narcotics Bureau has ever claimed differently.  During all the years spent among his mafioso brethren in The Big Apple, he was considered a soldier operating under the supervision of a Family capo di decina. He was originally considered a soldier of the Salvatore D’Aquila Family. After D’Aquila’s murder, he then served under newly named “Re ..read more

Charlie Chiri had a roster a mile long of unsavory mafia friends and associates he affiliated with, and, for many years, he was able to fly under law enforcement’s radar quite successfully. But his cloak of anonymity was uncovered after the disastrous Apalachin Meeting in November 1957. The FBI identified him as a top stateside representative for recently deported and notorious New Jersey mob boss Joe Adonis. It was later revealed that Chiri and Adonis had either infiltrated, bought into, or started up what was soon to become several extremely lucrative inter-related business ventures. The pos ..read more
