The Fix Was In On The Reinstatement Of Giacchino’s Medical License In The 1980s
Regardless of how much respect Chicago Tribune’s John Kass and his office may give the Giacchino’s during the current hearings on Giacchino’s medical license, Kass will never learn what I know without reading my articles. In an unofficial sense, I had the opportunity to interview/examine the following people over the years: 1. Joseph L. Giacchino, Jr. 2. Willie Messino, Sr. 3. Jack P. Cerone,... read more

Rudy Fratto’s Second Case In Front Of U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber
For the second time in recent history, Rudy Fratto’s name will be mentioned prominently in Judge Leinenweber’s court room. The first time it was during my attempt to bring Civil RICO charges against the Chicago Outfit. We all know how that turned out, unfortunately. Hopefully Judge Leinenweber remembers just what kind of a guy Fratto is now that he is once again before his Honor. Fratto is up on new... read more

Mobster, Extortionist, Tax Evader And Murderer Rudy Fratto Is Sentenced To Prison
Making the decision to go to court today and witness Rudy Fratto’s sentencing hearing was difficult. A good part of me wanted to witness justice. However, another side of me was unsure about the idea of going. I thought my presence might make Rudy’s family uncomfortable. I have been publishing some rough articles on Fratto and knew his family would not like to see me today. However, the hurt my family... read more

The Outfit’s Rose: A Tribute To The Late Clara Cerone
What Princess Diana was to England, Clara Cerone was to the Chicago Outfit. I know it sounds tacky, but I am being sincere. Aunt Clara, as I called her, was like a second mother to me, a source of happiness and personal strength that buoyed me through many tough times. I write this article a month late of the one-year anniversary of Clara’s passing, God rest her beautiful soul. Chicago has been home to a... read more

Mr. Michael G. Magnafichi
I know a man by the name of Michael. He can golf better than anyone I’ve ever met. According to many women, he is a very handsome fellow. I think he has a great sense of humor and can be very charming. He can certainly be the life of the party without even trying. He has been a dear pal of mine for a number of years. Tragically, Michael was affected by negative influences early in his life. The root of... read more

Some Hold Loyola Hospital Partially Responsible For Dr. Joseph L. Giacchino Jr. Retaining Authority To Issue Narcotics
Dr. Joseph Giacchino started his medical career in the 1970s working as a surgeon for Loyola Hospital in Maywood, Illinois. Kidney transplantation quickly became the main focus of Giacchino’s career in those days. Dr. Giacchino explained to me that he first met Chicago Mob Boss Jackie “The Lackey” Cerone during his employment at Loyola Hospital. In a short time Giacchino and Cerone became... read more

No Rimshot For Vito ‘Drumhead’ Scavo As Andersson Takes The Case
On the morning of April 23, 2009, I rushed to the Dirksen Federal building in Chicago with a postal money order in hand. I needed it to secure the services of the U.S. Marshals Office to serve the defendants in my civil RICO complaint (which accuses members and associates of the Chicago Outfit of extorting and conspiring to murder me – case # 09 CV 01882). Yes, I actually got a judge to give me the go... read more

Pasta Instead of Payoff: Mob Boss John DiFronzo And Illinois State Rep. Skip Saviano Are Both Handy In the Kitchen
I recently learned that, in an attempt to stop pay-to-play politics in Illinois, a special commission organized by former assistant U.S. Attorney Pat Collins has made a number of recommendations to Governor Pat Quinn. So it strikes me as a bit strange that State Representative Angelo “Skip” Saviano is scheduled to cook dinner at the Governor’s mansion this Wednesday for the Illinois House.... read more

Case No. 09 CV 01882 – Joseph Fosco, Plaintiff, v. John DiFronzo and Peter DiFronzo and Jack P. Cerone and Rudolph Fratto, Jr., and Dr. Joseph Giacchino, Jr., Defendants. / Civil RICO Complaint
While I affirm that everything that I have ever written in all of my articles at KTF Media Group is truthful, I must admit I did not always reveal the entire story. Some might argue that people concealing information have something incriminating to hide. While this might be true in some instances, I would like to take this chance to explain to you why I have been silent (up until now) on several... read more

An Interview With Joseph Fosco
Recently I sat down with Joseph Fosco, Publisher of KTF Media Group. This interview is largely concerned with several issues that have come up in his writing work for KTF. Mr. Fosco expressed to me an interest to set a few things straight, and this interview is the byproduct of that wish. Click here to read a note from the editor. AS: Tell us a little bit about yourself, Joe. JF: I was raised on the... read more
