Spade_Cooley 9,469 Posted September 12, 2023 Benedetto Capizzi, who was floated as a possible new capo di capi of the Sicilian Mafia in the mid-2000s following the arrest of Bernardo Provenzano (a position that de facto eventually went to the current ailing Matteo Messina Denaro), dead at 79. He'd been imprisoned since 2010 for, among other things, his role in the kidnapping, murder and disintegration in acid of 12-year-old Giuseppe Di Matteo, son of a mob informant. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Neto and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo were some of the largest Mexican drug lords in the 70s, 80s. Fonseca Carrillo (who was last mentioned around a decade ago here) was suffering from cancer in the 2000s, is now around 93 or possibly "only" 81 (according to the DEA) and has been in house arrest since 2016 "because of old age and declining health". Felix Gallardo is (or claims he is) suffering from every known ailment as mentioned by gcreptile some months ago. "El Narco de Narcos" Rafael Caro Quintero, Mexican major cartel boss, former FBI Ten Most Wanted lister and close associate of drug lords Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, hospitalised for surgery and treatment of a prostate ailment he's suffered from for a while. I think it's quite a miracle Quintero, Carrillo and Gallardo are all three still alive at 70, 93 and 77 and all (especially Carrillo and Gallardo) have been quite ill for a while.

Does anyone know if Carlo Gambino Jr, who I don't think followed his father into the family business, is still alive, or is that it for Carlo Sr's offspring?

An update of sorts for the two oldest names on your list – the person claiming to be Dentico's son is still trying to edit his father's Wiki page to say he died on March 28, 2018. As for "The Engineer", he appears on the family trees section of Ancestry. Died in 2003 in São Paulo, Brazil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted November 5, 2023 So, summat I never knew. Found this in a book called Lies, Damned Lies and History. The author clearly isn't over all the details. For the benefit of anyone not interested in the psycho gang wars of London in the 60's, Mad Frankie was the effective enforcer for the Richardson gang, enemies of the Krays and generally working a separate patch so's the potential all out war was kept in check. But during WW2 Frankie was very much an apprentice criminal and spent time banged up in the same cell as Ivor Novello. There's one-act TV gold in that pairing, surely.
