Angiulo Brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Angiulo Brothers Donato, Francesco, Gennaro, James, and Nicolo, were the leading Italian-American crime group from Boston's North End, during the 1950s and early 60s. They were in control of the racketeering in throughout Massachusetts for over a decade, until Irish Mob groups such as the Winter Hill Gang and the Charlestown Mob decided to break ties with the Italians and run the rackets themselves. During this time Winter Hill Gang member James J. "Whitey" Bulger was informing on his Italian mob overlords, sending them to jail and allowing The Winter Hill Gang to take control. It didn’t take long for the Irish Mob to became the dominant gang and the Italians lost power in the area altogether.
