Summary of Sam Giancana & Scott M. Burnstein's Family Affair - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2006, two of the Windy City's most notorious wiseguys, Joseph Joey the Clown Lombardo and Frank Frankie the German Schweihs, were arrested by federal authorities. They were both highly respected members of one of the most powerful and dangerous crime syndicates in the world. #2 The Family Secrets investigation was a major accomplishment for the FBI, as was the arrest of the Spilotro brothers.
However, things were looking up for the Midwest crime family in 2004, when Jimmy Marcello, the syndicate's new street boss, emerged from a ten-year federal prison sentence. #3 On April 6, 2005, Patrick Fitzgerald announced the indictment of the fourteen men, including Joey Lombardo and Frank Schweihs. Lombardo was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. However, despite the written correspondence between him and Zagel, letters sent through his attorney and conspicuously postmarked from within Chicago, the trail went cold. #4 After ten months of tracking down and arresting Joey Lombardo, the FBI finally caught up with its target in mid-January 2006.
Lombardo was booked, fingerprinted, and jailed on January 13, 2006.
