BA 92-403 ‘ with PETER MAGGIO and bearing the name "JOE TAMBERELLO" (ph) is possibly identical with JOSEPH TAMBURELLO, who operates an Italian neighborhood grocery store. Baltimore files reflect - that on 2/3/59, Special Agents of the Baltimore Division observed [,UIGI MORICI and FRANK CORBI, brother of JOSEPH CORBI, at the Dizzy Klub Tavern, Holabird Avenue, Dundalk,’ Maryland. MORICI has long had the reputation of being the i senior statesman in the Italian Criminal Organization. The oe Dizzy Klub was and still is operated by JOSEPH GIGLIOTTI, : - who came to Baltimore over 20 years aso from Pittsburgh where be, he had the reputation of being in the "Black Hand" Society. On the foregoing occasion, an unidentified white male, driving the automobile registered. to FRANK MALVASO, parked at the Dizzy.Klub and entered. Later MORICI and FRANK CORBI left the club in MORICI's car and drove to Highland Avenue and ~ F E. Lombard Street where they parked and entered the grocery store of JOSEPH TAMBURELLO. : Nothing of TAMBURELLO until R 4 5/20/64 when ral dacivises that he,.as an OTHE accountant, had begun keeping the accounts for JOSEPH , TAMBURELLO, who operates a grocery store at Highland Avenue and Lombard Streets. He had acquired this account through LOUIS COMI and JOHN COMI, whose Dodge Cigarette Service is > nearby. The store reported weekly sales. of $2,000 and annual net profit of $3,000.00. Informant said that TAMBURELLO is assisted in the operation of the store by his wife, HELEN, and they have 3 minor children. Informant had never observed or heard anything which would indicate they were involved in gambling operations. He commented . that TAMBURELLO speaks with a heavy Italian accent. No indication has ever been received that TAMBURELLO has ever had any connection with the Baltimore Pizza- Crust Inc., which is located on the opposite side of Baltimore from TAMBURELLO's store. No mention of him appears in any of the corporation's records or in connection with financial transactions which are reflected in bank records. It ap- pears certain that he has not been engaged in the active management of the pizza business and would have no way . of acquiring the knowledge set out in the conversation at~ tributed to him on the succeeding pages of re airtel.
