Join Gavin and Eric as they discuss John Alioto, former boss of the Milwaukee Mafia from 1952-1961.
The Aliotos were deeply connected to crime through blood and marriage, setting up the Milwaukee Family to be among the most intra-related in the country.
He was largely in the background during his reign. Early in life, he was a murder suspect in the death of Albert Scorsone, and was loosely tied in to an insurance scam in New York City. Alioto tended to focus more on his legitimate business prospects, and did as little as possible to bring on the heat from police and federal authorities.
Alioto’s most notable relative was Frank Balistrieri, his son-in-law.
In this episode, Eric will ask a question that will share some foreshadowing information on the relationship between John Alito and Frank Balistrieri - which is coming up in future episodes.
