Fiore Siano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fiore Ernest Siano (1927 - May 1964?) was a New York criminal and drug trafficker who was a nephew of mob informant Joe Valachi.

Siano was a career criminal with arrests for burglary and narcotics violations dating back to 1948. In late 1954, Siano was convicted of distributing heroin and cocaine to New York and interstate drug traffickers. On November 27, 1954 Siano was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. Authorities also suspected Siano in the murders of Steven Franse and Eugenio Giannini [1].

After his release from prison, rumors started that Siano had talked to prosecutors about the Gainini murder. In late April or early May 1964, Siano was observed leaving a pizzeria in Manhattan with three unidentified men. After that sighting, Fiore Siano was never seen again.
