but for David Rockefeller, not the MOB...
New Kensington is a MOB town, where United Health Care
sent me, after Gateway "DROPPED" Bellevue's Hussaini,

FABRICATED DIAGNOSIS, USING FRAUDULENT
UNNEEDED "LIFE-SUPPORT" TO HYPERVENTILATE,
SUBDUE, SILENCE, TORTURE, COERCE PLUG-PULLING,

You see, about the mid-1980s, when the Mafia

GROW INSIDE YOUR LOCAL HOSPITAL ROOM.
SEE YA AT THE ER! CHEERS!
After 100s of years of Mafia accidents involving children,
do you think ONE MORE caused this Pope Excommunication?

IMAGINABLE...MUCH worse than indefinite
WATERBOARDING.

TO STOP IT.

Pittsburgh crime family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Pittsburgh crime family Founder Gregorio Conti[1] Founding location Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Years active c.1910s-present Territory Allegheny County, Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio.[2] Ethnicity Italian, Italian-American made men and other ethnicities as "associates" Membership less than 5 Criminal activities Racketeering, loansharking, extortion, and gambling Allies Genovese, Cleveland and Trafficante crime families Rivals Various gangs in the Pittsburgh area. The Pittsburgh crime family,[3] also known as the LaRocca crime family,[4] is an American Mafia crime family based in Pittsburgh, United States.[2][5] Contents [hide] 1 History 1.1 Prohibition era 1.2 Bazzano vs. the Volpe brothers 1.3 The LaRocca era 1.4 Genovese's leadership 1.5 Current status 2 Historical leadership 2.1 Boss (official and acting) 2.2 Underboss (official and acting) 2.3 Consigliere 2.4 Youngstown faction 3 Current members 3.1 Made members 3.2 Associates 4 Former members 5 Rival 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links History[edit] Prohibition era[edit] Main article: History of Pittsburgh § Prohibition In Pittsburgh the Italian underworld was broken into two ethnic faction the "Sicilian Mafia" controlling the North and South sides of the city and the "Neapolitan Camorra" which controlled the East end of the city.[1] In the early 1920s, the two faction became involved in bootlegging, the illegal making, selling and transporting of alcohol. Throughout the Prohibition era the factions fought in the city for control over the Italian neighborhoods of Larimer, Homewood, Hill District and Downtown. In the outer suburbs of southwestern Pennsylvania the factions fought over New Kensington, Arnold, Wilkinsburg, McKees Rocks, Wilmerding and Braddock.[6] During the late prohibition era from 1926 to 1933 there were over 200 murders in Allegheny County.[6] During Stefano Monastero regime as boss in the late 1920s, he rivaled other Pittsburgh gangs and a Chicago gang, he and his brother were eventually murdered on August 4, 1929.[1][3] Giuseppe "Yeast Baron" Siragusa regime as boss was cut-short do to his allegiance to the Castellammarese Clan in New York City, he was murdered on September 13, 1931 days after Salvatore Maranzano was murdered.[1][3][5][6] Bazzano vs. the Volpe brothers[edit] After the murder of Siragusa, the family came under the control of Sicilian John Bazzano, who was selling sugar and yeast to home breweries allowing them to manufacture illegal alcohol.[1][6] Bazzano formed an alliance with the eight Volpe brothers which he allowed to operate out of a coffee shop in Middle Hill. The Volpe brothers already had control over the Neapolitian faction and illegal rackets throughout the Turtle Creek Valley and Wilmerding.[6] The alliance ended when the Volpe brothers began expanding into East Liberty and the North Side, Bazzano sent a hit-team on July 29, 1932 murdering three of the Volpe brothers.[6] The surviving Volpe brothers went to the Commission in New York and it was decided Bazzano would be held responsible for his unsanctioned hit. Bazzano's body was found on August 8, 1932 in Red Hook, Brooklyn he had been stabbed and strangled to death.[1][3][5][6] The LaRocca era[edit] Boss John Sebastian LaRocca Vincenzo Capizzi, became the new boss after Bazzano's murder, but he eventually resigned in 1937,[3] and was replaced by Frank Amato. As boss Amato, began expanding his influence over the gambling rackets in and around Allegheny County, but in 1956 he became ill and resigned becoming underboss.[1][3][6] John LaRocca took control of the crime family and reigned as boss for nearly thirty years.[3][7] In 1957, LaRocca attended Apalachin Meeting with capos Gabriel Mannarino and Michael James Genovese.[8] LaRocca escaped the federal authorities but Mannarino and Genovese were unsuccessful and were arrested.[3][5][7] LaRocca and capo Mannarino became partners with Tampa crime family boss Santo Trafficante, Jr. in the Sans Souci hotel-casino in Havana, Cuba.[5][6][9] In 1959, Fidel Castro took control of Cuba and forced out all the mobsters in the country.[9] Through bribery LaRocca became a powerful Mafia boss by controlling politicians, police officers and other officials in the Pittsburgh area.[3] His family also maintained control of labor unions through local 1058.[3] LaRocca influence also grew through close ties to Gambino crime family boss Carlo Gambino, Bufalino crime family boss Russell Bufalino, Philadelphia crime family boss Angelo Bruno and Kansas City crime family boss Nick Civella.[3] In the 1960s, LaRocca's family started a conflict with the Cleveland crime family when they expanded into Youngstown, Ohio.[8] In 1964, LaRocca supported Frank Valenti's takeover of the Rochester crime family from Jake Russo.[10] LaRocca died on December 3, 1984 and was succeeded by Michael Genovese as boss of the Pittsburgh crime family.[1][3] Genovese's leadership[edit] [icon] This section requires expansion. (August 2011) Since the bootlegging and ammunition trading industries were finished, Genovese turned to gambling and drugs. By this time, around the 1980s, the mob was slowly losing its influence on the government so the FBI quickly saw the path the Mafia was about to take and so the FBI pursued them. The FBI quickly traced Genovese's cocaine trail to his top men, Charles "Chucky" Porter and Louis Raucci Sr.[11] Another challenge the mob had was finding new people for the Family at this time. The two chosen were Joseph Naples and Lenine "Lenny" Strollo who were inducted in 1987. However the major fall the Mafia took over the years and decline of political and governmental power led to the murder of Naples by an unknown mobster believed to be Strollo in 1991 and the arrest of Thomas Ciancutti in 2000 for "running a gambling ring in Fayette County". Strollo has denied having been the culprit behind the murder of Joey Naples. Current status[edit] After the conviction of the top members in the late 1990s and the death of many important members in the last decade the family has few members left.[3] Historical leadership[edit] Boss (official and acting)[edit] c.1910s–1920 – Gregorio Conti – retired[1] 1920–1925 – Salvatore Calderone – retired[1][12] 1925–1929 – Stefano Monastero – murdered on August 6, 1929[1][3][13] 1929–1931 – Giuseppe "Yeast Baron" Siragusa – murdered on September 13, 1931[1][3][12] 1931–1932 – John Bazzano – found dead on August 8, 1932 in Red Hook, Brooklyn[1][3][12] 1932–1937 – Vincenzo Capizzi – retired to Italy[1][3][12] 1937–1956 – Frank Amato[12][14][15] – stepped down, becoming underboss.[1][3] 1956–1984 – Sebastian "John" LaRocca[16] – died on December 3, 1984.[1][4][17] Ruling Panel 1978–1980 – Michael Genovese, Gabriel Mannarino (died July 1980)[9] and Joseph Pecora (imprisoned 1979)[1][17] Acting 1980–1984 – Michael Genovese – promoted to boss[1] 1985–2006 – Michael James Genovese[1][4][17] – died on October 31, 2006[1] 2006–2008 – John Bazzano Jr. – died on July 28, 2008[18][19] 2008–present – Thomas "Sonny" Ciancutti Underboss (official and acting)[edit] 1925–1929 – Salvatore "Sam" Monastero – brother to boss Stefano Monastero[1][13] 1936–1956 – Sebastian "John" LaRocca – promoted to boss 1956–1973 – Frank Amato – died 1973[1] 1973–1987 – Joseph "Jo Jo" Pecora – imprisoned 1979-1983, died 1987[16][17] 1987–2006 – John Bazzano Jr. – took over after Pecora died;[4][18] became boss in 2006 Acting 1987–1995 – Charles Porter – convicted in 1990 and sentenced to 28 years, defected to the government in 1999.[11][17] 2006–2008 – Thomas "Sonny" Ciancutti – became boss in 2008 2008–present – Robert "Bobby I" Iannelli Consigliere[edit] 1956–1985 – Michael James Genovese – promoted to boss[16] 1985–1989 – Pasquale "Pat" Ferruccio – controlled gambling in the Canton, Ohio area,[17] imprisoned in 1991 1989–2002 – Charles "Murgie" Imburgia – his nephew Anthony Murgie was connected to the Genovese family.[17] 2002–2006 – Thomas "Sonny" Ciancutti – became underboss 2006–2008 – Robert "Bobby I" Iannelli – became underboss Youngstown faction[edit] The faction operates in Youngstown, Ohio throughout the Mahoning Valley.
