Cleveland crime family

Mayfield Road Mob and rise to power

Milano moved to Cleveland in 1913.Шаблон:Sfn He became involved in criminal activities immediately after arriving in the city,Шаблон:Sfn joiningШаблон:Sfn the newly formed Mayfield Road Mob.Шаблон:Sfn He and his brother Anthony quickly rose to positions of importance in the gang,Шаблон:Sfn and Frank became involved in counterfeiting, murder, and various liquor law violations.Шаблон:Sfn

By the early 1920s, the Cleveland mafia had taken over the Mayfield Road Mob and become the dominant criminal organization in Cleveland.Шаблон:Sfn It was led by boss Joseph "Big Joe" Lonardo.Шаблон:Sfn While visiting family in Italy, Lonardo lost control of the Cleveland mafia to Salvatore "Black Sam" Todaro and Joseph "Big Joe" Porrello. Lonardo demanded his business back when he returned to the United States, but was murdered by the Porrellos on June 23, 1927.Шаблон:Sfn Todaro was killed by the Lonardos on June 11, 1929.^[1] Joseph Porello took over the crime family, but he began to be pushed aside by Frank Milano, who was by now head of a resurgent Mayfield Road Mob.Шаблон:Sfn

Porrello began reasserting his power, and demanded that Milano turn over cash owed to him as well as make a large monetary payment as a sign of his loyalty. Milano agreed to do so. On July 5, 1930, Porello and his bodyguard, Sam Tilocco, went to Milano's restaurant, the Venetian, at 12601 Mayfield Road in Cleveland's Little Italy neighborhood.Шаблон:Sfn The two sat at a table with MilanoШаблон:Sfn and Milano associates John Angersola, Charles Colletti, and Chuck Polizzi.Шаблон:Sfn Within minutes, Porrello was dead. Tilocco crawled outside, and died on the sidewalk.Шаблон:Sfn

A series of revenge killings left Milano's Mayfield Road Mob in control of the Cleveland crime family.Шаблон:Sfn

Activities as head of the Cleveland crime family

He was a close associate of Cleveland crime family members George Angersola, John Angersola, Alfred Polizzi, and John Scalish,Шаблон:Sfn and co-owned Tornello Importing Co.,Шаблон:Sfn an olive oil importation business, with Alfred Polizzi.Шаблон:Sfn Milano was also allegedly close to Mayfield Road Mob member N. Louis "Babe" Triscaro, who later became president of Local 436 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.Шаблон:Sfn

With the start of Prohibition in 1920, Milano got involved in the distribution and sale of illegal alcoholic beverages. He and fellow mobster Louis Cohen ran a speakeasy at 7310 Lexington Avenue in Cleveland. After police closed it down in 1926, Milano and Cohen opened a restaurant on Hough Avenue.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1929, Milano met Moe Dalitz,Шаблон:Sfn who ran bootlegging, illegal gambling, and rackets in Detroit, Michigan. The two became close friends.Шаблон:Sfn

In April 1931, Salvatore Maranzano, head of the Castellammarese clan in New York City, declared himself capo di tutti capo (boss of all bosses). Lucky Luciano, who opposed Maranzano's claim to control the Luciano crime family, decided to have Maranzano murdered. On April 21, 1931, he met in Cleveland with Frank Milano, Moe Dalitz, Meyer Lansky, Santo Trafficante Sr., and an emissary sent by Al Capone. The five agreed with Luciano's plan to kill Maranzano and establish a new federation of crime families to handle disputes.Шаблон:Sfn After the September 10, 1931, assassination of Maranzano, the title of capo di tutti capo was retired and "The Commission" established by the American Mafia. Milano was named a member of The Commission, alongside Joseph Bonanno, Al Capone, Tommy Gagliano, Lucky Luciano, Vincent Mangano, and Joe Profaci.Шаблон:Sfn

Frank Milano and Moe Dalitz became partners in the Molaska Corporation, which manufactured dehydrated molasses for use in alcohol distillation. Other criminal investors in the Molaska Corporation included Lansky, Luciano, and Frank Costello (Luciano's lieutenant). Dehydrated molasses was sold to alcohol manufacturers nationwide,Шаблон:Sfn allowing Milano to accumulate a large fortune during Prohibition.Шаблон:Sfn As Prohibition came to a close, Dalitz advised Milano to expand into new criminal activities. Beginning in 1930, Dalitz and Milano joined with Cleveland mobster Thomas J. McGinty to open casinos (of which the Thomas Club and Harvard Club were two) and lease illegal slot machines to local businesses.Шаблон:Sfn

According to Angelo Lonardo, he sought permission from Milano to kill Giuseppe "Dr. Joe" Romano whom Lonardo believed to be involved in the murder of his father, Joseph "Big Joe" Lonardo. Milano approved the assassination, which occurred on June 10, 1936.Шаблон:Sfn^[2] Lonardo claims that Milano later denied authorizing the killing.Шаблон:Sfn

While a member of the Cleveland crime family, he lived in Akron, Ohio, and made extensive real estate purchases there.Шаблон:Sfn

Flight to Mexico

On January 30, 1935, Milano fled to Mexico Шаблон:Sfn to avoid prosecution for income tax evasion.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn He took up residence in Vera Cruz.Шаблон:Sfn As he could not run the Cleveland crime family from across the border, he stepped down as boss and was succeeded by Alfred Polizzi. The Mexican government granted Milano a permanent visa on April 13, 1942.Шаблон:Sfn

While living in Mexico, Milano engaged in a wide range of criminal activities. According to Alvin G. Sutton, Cleveland's top law enforcement officer, Milano smuggled individuals who had been deported from the U.S. back over the American border.Шаблон:Sfn

When Wilbur Clark built the Desert Inn casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1947, he sought and received capital from a group of gamblers and mobsters that included Moe Dalitz, Maurice Kleinmann, Thomas J. McGinty, Louis Rothkopf, and Sammy Tucker. A few years later, this group sold a piece of their investment to John Angersola,Шаблон:Efn Frank Milano, and Alfred Polizzi.Шаблон:Efn In return, the Cleveland crime family agreed to prevent other organized crime figures from interfering with the casino.Шаблон:Sfn According to the Chicago Sun-Times in 1966, cash skimmed from the casino (representing Milano's percentage interest in the operation) was delivered to him in Mexico City without going through others (such as Meyer Lansky).Шаблон:Sfn

Milano also purchased a good deal of real estate in Mexico.Шаблон:Sfn He owned a coffee plantation Шаблон:Sfn and extensive timberlands.Шаблон:Sfn

Los Angeles criminal activities

Milano relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he associated with Mickey Cohen and Lucky Luciano.Шаблон:Sfn According to nightclub owner and former police officer Barney Ruditsky, Milano helped protect Cohen from being murdered by other crime families.Шаблон:Sfn According to the Los Angeles Police Department, he owned a wire service that reported the results of horse racing.Шаблон:Sfn Using his wealth, Milano financed a wide range of illegal activities, although poor health kept him from any active participation in organized crime. He continued to purchase real estate in and around Los Angeles, as well as in Miami, Florida Шаблон:Sfn (where Alfred Polizzi had retired in 1948).Шаблон:Sfn He was considered one of the "top echelon" figures in organized crime nationwide.Шаблон:Sfn
