Unlike Hannibal Lecter, Chicago Mob Boss John DiFronzo Doesn't Have To Hide

-- by Joseph Fosco --

Johnny DiFronzo is a killing machine, one like no other. Shockingly, this killing machine is above the law. There seems to be no doubt about it.

DiFronzo is a very creepy figure, even down to his looks. His build is anorexic. His stubby fingers, the permanent gash on his nose and his long horse face are topped by his Palmade cream hair style. He disgustingly slurps when he drinks his alcohol before he drives home illegally from the Loon Café in River Grove, Illinois, almost every day. He sounds like a character from the movie Hannibal Lecter.

Unlike the movie character Hannibal Lecter, DiFronzo seems to have immunity. Take the landmark “Family Secrets” trial. Nick Calabrese, the witness who’s testimony helped convict a number of the co-defendants, swore that DiFronzo was at the Spilotro murder scene. Despite this, the U.S. Attorney’s office has allowed Difronzo to live his life peacefully, at least so far. The testimony of Calabrese was good enough to convict the indicted, so why was it not good enough to indict the unindicted? What we have here in Johnny DiFronzo is a man that is capable of killing human beings and capable of being invisible to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has a reputation for possibly being the toughest prosecutor in the country, just ask the following individuals:
John Gambino
Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman
Former Illinois Governor George Ryan
Antoin Rezko
James Laski
Lewis "Scooter" Libby
Media mogul, Lord Conrad Black
Nick Calabrese (Chicago Outfit hit man who helped Fitzgerald’s administration convict several other Chicago Outfit hit men)
Jon Burge
Former Illinois State Governor Rod Blagojevich

I find it remarkable that Johnny DiFronzo has escaped prosecution from the Fitzgerald Administration. What does DiFronzo have that some of the aforementioned powerful and wealthy defendants do not? We know it is not his good looks. It is certainly not his twisted personality. Is it luck?

Some say its DiFronzo’s smarts which saved him from prosecution. I do not buy it. Footage of DiFronzo on the news, which can be found on the internet, shows me a dumb man. Anyone of his caliber is dumb to speak to the media.
