DATE: . 11-14-2017: v oo» ~~ —~. MI 92-262 SECURITY OF INFORMANTS ' New York airtel to the Bureau and auxiliary offices, dated 5/16/66, set out certain suggestions regarding uniform reporting in the Membership Section of reports prepared by auxiliary offices. To the extent possible, New York's recommendations have been followed with certain exceptions, as explained below: Milwaukee's report is set out alphabetically as ‘to members within the breakdowns of the several LCN families identi- fied, This is done to avoid repetition after each member's name ‘is listed. Likewise, the best source is set out at the beginning — of the listing of members by families, T symbols, rather than informant symbol numbers have been used in referring to the best source of membership, In this regard Milwaukee's best source of all memberships is MI 623-C-TE, who has been given T-1 and T-2 Symbols to further protect his identity in the listings of members, It should also be noted that this informant is probably the best source of the Rockford, Illinois LCN family membership and in some instances may be the best source of some Chicago, Illinois family members. If MI 623-C-TE were to be identified as such in both Milwaukee and Chicago Division reports, this informant would be exposed to compromise and jeopardy of his personal safety, especially in view of his close ties with members of the Rockford family and his LCN membership and identity with the Milwaukee family. To futher protect MI 623-C-TE, his identity under T symbols in the details will not show that he is a member of the Milwaukee family in view of possible dissemination of this report,.. - The initial period of instant report predates referenced Milwaukee report, since some informant information received prior to the date of referenced report was not available when that report was prepared, INFORMATION EXCLUDED FROM DETAILS OF REPORT The following information is being set out’ in the — ( Administrative Pages of instant. report to insure that the identity of MI 623-C-TE (MI T-1 and MI T-2) is not compromised, To report this information in the details along with the possi- bility of dissemination of: this report could logically compromise . this informant, Accordingly this information is of necessity. . confined to the Administrative Pages.. This information is broken ' down iinto Sections: to ‘correspond with:the: manner: iti ‘would other . wise be set out in the details. - C- COVER PAGE Docld: 32307983 Page 4
DATE: 11-14-2017 MI 92-262 IV, CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES Plot to "Hit" FRANK PETER BALISTRIERI ‘During the past year, MI T-1 has reported a number of clandestine type meetings .attended by SANTO MARINO, VITO AIELLO, JOHN AIELLO, and the informant, all of whom are old-timers in the ‘Milwaukee LCN family, who are extremely unhappy with the -  -one=man dictatorial rule of this family by the boss, FRANK PETER 4, BALISTRIERI. According to MI T-1, MARINO and the AIELLOs were ". talking seriously of a "hit" on BALISTRIERI to get him out: of the way and -have a turno (meeting) of the family membership to select a new boss. Those three members were urging infor-— mant to do the job on BALISTRIERI which informant declined to have any part of and suggested that BALISTRIERI might go to prison when sentenced (9/18/67) on his Federal income tax conviction (BALISTRIERI was convicted 3/23/67, in USDC, SDI, at Springfield, Illinois). In most recent discussions, MARINO, the AIELLOs, and ‘several other disgruntled Milwaukee LCN members have been talking in terms of t of the Milwaukee family members to vote on ousting SRT eeeerER I from his position as boss - rather than resort to violence to get BALISTRIERI out of the ‘WAY «. ‘Regarding MI T-1's previously reported information — of 5/4/65, that AUGUST CHIAVEROTTI and WALTER "BLACKIE".BROCCA, Milwaukee hoodlums but not LCN members, had incurred the wrath of FRANK PETER BALISTRIERI over business and financial matters to the extent they feared for théir lives, informant noted in the past year that CHIAVEROTTI and BROCCA returned to Milwaukee from the West Coast where they took refuge and obtained jobs. Informant said that since returning to Milwaukee, they have been seen with BALISTRIERI and apparently are no longer in BALI- ' STRIERI‘'s disfavor. = FR o COVER PAGE = a Docld: 32307983 Page 5 :
