The Murder of Pasqualino Lolordo, Al Capone Minion
(eBook)

English

Pasqualino Lolordo was an underling of Al Capone who the Chicago crime boss made head of the Unione Sicilliana. Lolordo was murdered in cold blood in his own home one afternoon in 1929 after he and his wife returned from a shopping trip. Two groups of men visited his fashionable northwest Chicago apartment, a group of two followed by three more. The last group met with him in the living room of his home before they shot him while the men were having drinks. The murder was never solved and his wife knew little of her husband's business life. His brother, Joe, was a bodyguard for Tony Lombardo, the man Pasqualino replaced as head of Unione Siciliano. Another of the Lolordo brothers was killed by the orders of Bugs Moran, whose gang was wiped out in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. --Provided by publisher.
