Miller, Jr., Criminal iDivision, has requested that subject Alderisio be arrested on the morning of 10/9/63 by our Chicago, Tllinois, Office on a warrant obtained on 10/2/63 by our Miami, Florida, Office which charged Alderisio with violating the Interstate Transportation in Aid of Racketeering (ITAR) - Extortion Statute, This warrant was issued following the filing of a complaint, authorized by the Criminal Divisi following the receipt of information by our Chicago Office indicating Alderisio has a passport and is arranging his personal business so tha ihe can leave the country. The Criminal Division did not desire that | this warrant be served before this time because it expected that a ~, ‘grand jury indictment would be returned shortly; however, it has now” {been ascertained that there will be some additional delay in the retur of such indictment and it is feared Alderisio may go through with his plans to flee the country. ¢ Alderisio, a well-known Chicago hoodlum, commonly referred t {| as "Milwaukee Phil," is an extremely close associate of top echelon ' hoodlums in the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. He is rumored to have ; been a gunman for the old Capone gang. The investigation on which the complaint was based developed: that Alderisio and subject Traffican (a top hoodlum of our Tampa, Florida, Office) endeavored to "muscle in on the profits of a "South American deal" being operated by Sam Kay (a Miami Beach shylock millionaire); Charles William Bray (Chicago insurance broker); and James W. Egan (Denver, Colorado, banker). In early 1962, in Miami, Alderisio assaulted Egan and threatened Egan's teen-age daughter with bodily harm unless he, Alderisio, was given one-third of the profits of the "South American deal." Interstate travel for the purpose of committing extortion is a violation of the ITAR Statute, 87-66742 1 - Mr. DeLoach 1 - Mr, Evans aie EFK:eem _to4ae (8) i 7 Page 2? \
