Frank Napoli

Francis "Frank" Napoli was an American mobster and an associate of the Torelli crime family and the Jewish Mafia. He is notable for his association with Walter Borowitz, both of whom were victims of the Napoli-Borowitz Murders.

In late-1970, Frank Napoli invested approximately $100,000 in an illegal casino racket run by the Jewish Mafia in northern New Jersey, alongside lawyer Walter Borowitz, who vouched for the racket's stability. When the racket was torn apart by federal authorities, Napoli and Borowitz turned to James Torelli for a loan of approximately $60,000. They received the loan with a 25% interest rate.
Over the course of 1971, Napoli failed to make payments to Torelli, who eventually staged a mock execution on Napoli, but eventually lowered the interest rate to around 15%.
In January 1972, Napoli refused to make any more payments and went into hiding, before being spotted by a Torelli associate in the Lower East Side on January 11. According to sources close to his murder, he was forced into a car and taken to a warehouse in East Harlem, and presumably tortured and killed by January 13.
Napoli was found dead in the trunk of a car on the bank of the East River in New York, on January 13. His tongue had been removed, and coins were stuffed in his mouth. Several of his bones were broken, his anal cavity was scarred with what appeared to be a meat hook, and he suffered internal bleeding premortem. Several reliable informants from East Harlem claimed the perpetrators behind his death were Francis Buonocore and Salvatore Iannello.
