1. Краткая справка по городу (История Мафии)
Buffalo and Niagara Falls
1910 - Angelo Palmeri (1878 to 1932). At least one source claims that Palmeri, immigrant from Castellamare del Golfo, Sicily, organized a Mafia family in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls region about 1910. Palmeri was reportedly a respected old-school Mafioso, who settled into an advisory role from Niagara Falls as others rose to lead the Buffalo family.
1916 - Giuseppe DiCarlo (1873 to July 9, 1922). Born in Vallelunga, Sicily, DiCarlo arrived in Buffalo in 1908. By the start of the Prohibition Era, DiCarlo was established boss of the Sicilian underworld in the Buffalo area. He reportedly had a significant number of immigrants from Castellamare, Sicily, in his organization.
1920 - As a gateway between Canada and the United States, Buffalo was a key city for the early U.S. Mafia. It became even more important as a conduit for quality alcoholic beverages during Prohibition. The Buffalo region was closely linked to Cleveland (where there also existed a sizeable population of Vallelunghesi) during the 1920s.
1921 - Stefano Magaddino (Oct. 10, 1891, to July 19, 1974). Magaddino likely had relatives (or fellow Castellamarese countrymen) in Buffalo when he fled to that area from Brooklyn in the early 1920s. He immediately became a major player in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls underworld and might have become boss as early as 1922, when Giuseppe DiCarlo died of a heart attack. Magaddino retained a level of control over his former Brooklyn organization for a decade. He continued to have interests in New York City after that, as he had family ties with the Bonanno clan.
1930 - Magaddino had sufficient resources to dedicate money and men to the Maranzano-Masseria Castellamarese War in New York City.
1931 - Magaddino's importance to the budding national Syndicate was revealed as he was given a seat at the underworld's ruling commission.
1940s - Magaddino's Buffalo family and Bonanno's New York family extended their rackets to the Canadian side of the border. (The family had some Canadian resources dating back through Prohibition.) Magaddino also moved into some Ohio territory. The Buffalo family generated income through gambling and labor rackets. John Montana, born in Montedore, was a key figure in Magaddino's operations.
1950s - Fred G. "the Wolf" Randaccio (July 1, 1907 to Oct. 4, 2004). Palermo-born Randaccio (known as Fred Lupo) assumed control of some day-to-day operations in the mid-1950s. Some believe Randaccio participated in a conspiracy against U.S. President John Kennedy.
1964 - John Montana, key figure in Magaddino's organization, died.
1967 - Fred Randaccio was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The Buffalo region began to come under the influence of Scranton, PA, boss Russell Bufalino. Bufalino had interests in northern Pennsylvania, western New York State and Canada.
1969 - Believing the aging Niagara Falls-based Magaddino was taking an unfair share of their profits while providing little to the organization, capos in the city of Buffalo pull away from Magaddino's leadership. Salvatore Pieri and Joe Fino are leaders of the rebel Buffalo regimes.
1970 - Salvatore Pieri (1911 to Aug. 24, 1981). Buffalo-born Salvatore Pieri and his brother Joseph appear to have headed a faction of a fractured Buffalo-Niagara crime family until at least 1981, when Salvatore died. Salvatore Pieri's influence was limited due to legal problems (especially after 1978, when he pleaded guilty to gambling charges) and the reluctance of the underworld Commission to acknowledge him as leader while Magaddino lived. The Pieris appear to have been aligned with Sam Frangiamore.
1972 - Sam "the Farmer" Frangiamore (Aug. 7, 1905, to Nov. 28, 1999). As the Buffalo region mob broke into factions, Frangiamore was regarded as an acting boss. His leadership in the region would not be recognized by the underworld Commission until after Stefano Magaddino's death in 1974. By then, the boss designation carried little weight.
1974 - Stefano Magaddino, survivor of numerous assassination attempts, died of natural causes on July 19, 1974. He was 82 years old. Frangiamore was recognized by the commission as boss, but his local authority was limited.
1975 - Joe Fino (? to ?). Fino appears to have briefly served in a nominal boss role until forced into retirement by his rivals.
1981 - Joseph Todaro (1923 to ?). Pieri's 1981 death allowed Joseph Todaro to take over as boss in Buffalo. Some sources indicate that Joseph Pieri served as boss for a half dozen years before giving way to Todaro.
2. Стефанно Магаддино
Oct. 10, 1891, to July 19, 1974.
Magaddino was an established Mafioso when he arrived in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. Magaddino, born in Castellamare del Golfo, Sicily, in 1891, appears to have served in an underboss-like capacity to Gaspar Milazzo, head of a group of Castellamarese Mafiosi in New York City.
Milazzo and Magaddino were sought by police after an apparent vendetta murder of a rival gang leader named Bucellato in 1921. Milazzo fled the city for Detroit, where he established another Mafia family. Magaddino left for Buffalo, beginning his own crime kingdom there and maintaining close ties to the Brooklyn group.
Cola Schiro appears to have served in the leadership position of the Brooklyn Castellamarese after Magaddino's departure, but he may have been a puppet ruler, taking his orders from Milazzo and Magaddino.
Magaddino lingered atop the Buffalo Mafia from 1922 to his death in 1974.
At the start of what became known as the Castellamarese War, "Joe the Boss" Masseria, ruler of the New York City underworld, reportedly had Milazzo killed for not supporting his efforts to control events in Chicago. That left Magaddino the senior member of the Castellamarese Mafiosi. Through Salvatore Maranzano in New York - after the sudden disappearance of Schiro - Magaddino conducted a war against the forces of Masseria.
In 1931, first Masseria and then Maranzano were gunned down. Magaddino was invited to join the Mafia ruling Commission created by Charlie Luciano at that time. Magaddino, a cousin to New York crime boss Joe Bonanno, remained an influential player in American organized crime until his death of natural causes.
Initially an ally of Bonanno's, he and Bonanno became enemies in the 1960s.
3. Фред Рандаччо
July 1, 1907, to Oct. 4, 2004.
("Fred Lupo," "the Wolf")
Randaccio was reportedly born in Palermo and settled in Buffalo NY during the Prohibition Era. He became a big shot in the Magaddino Crime Family after World War II, overseeing labor and gambling rackets. His climb to the highest post of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls underworld was halted by a 1967 conviction and a long prison term.
A U.S. census entry indicates that he was born in New York,(1) but army enlistment records from spring of 1945 reveal that he was an immigrant and had not yet become a citizen.(2) (He signed up for military service on March 19, 1945, just five months before V-J Day.)
Randaccio was a key member of the postwar Stefano Magaddino criminal organization. By the 1950s, he moved from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and is believed to have assumed control of some day-to-day Mafia operations.
Though he was not named by law enforcement officials as an attendee of the Apalachin convention in 1957 (Magaddino's brother Antonio was), he was subpoenaed to testify before a summer 1959 federal grand jury investigating the meeting.(3) He got into a bit of trouble when he didn't show up.(4) However, a U.S. District Court decided in early October that Randaccio could not be compelled to answer any Apalachin-related questions.(5)
During 1963, when Joe Valachi delivered mob information to Senate investigators, Randaccio was shown as underboss and "heir apparent" on an FBI hierarchy chart of the Magaddino Family. A Buffalo police official insisted that Randaccio controlled "all gambling, labor racketeering and other illegitimate activities for the old man [Magaddino]"(6)
Some believe Randaccio had a role in the planning of the Kennedy assassination later in 1963. Certainly, Fred the Wolf didn't seem too upset about the President's death when he was overheard congratulating a mob associate on the killing and sharing in a hearty laugh.(7)
Randaccio's prestige and power within the Buffalo-Niagara Falls mob likely increased with the 1964 death by natural causes of John Montana. Montana was a "high level" associate of boss Stefano Magaddino.(8)
Within a few years, the law began to catch up with Randaccio. He was called to New York City to testify on the disappearance of crime boss Joseph Bonanno in 1965. A bachelor party (it was in honor of Joseph Todaro, who was to wed Carol Ann Panero) he attended in Buffalo during early May of 1967 was raided by local, state and federal law enforcement officers.(9)
Later in the same month, the statement of convicted narcotics smuggler Vito Agueci were released through an Italian court. In the statement, Agueci recalled being initiated into the Buffalo-area Mafia by Randaccio, who was the organization's underboss.(10)
On June 22, Randaccio, then 59, was arrested by federal and local law enforcement agents, along with five other men. The group was charged with conspiring to commit robberies of banks and armored cars (none of the robberies were actually committed).(11)
Randaccio, Pasquale A. Natarelli, Steven Cino, Charles Caci and Louis F. Sorgi were convicted in late November.(12) Randaccio was sentenced to 20 years in prison and his influence within the Buffalo-Niagara Falls mob waned.
Shortly after his imprisonment, the Magaddino Family began to crumble. Salvatore Pieri, who had been arrested with Randaccio in the robbery conspiracy case but managed to avoid conviction, emerged as a separate underworld power within the City of Buffalo.
