DiMeo Crime Family

The **DiMeo Crime Family**, also known as the **Soprano Crime Family**, was an Italian-American organized crime syndicate in North Jersey. Influenced for a long time by the Soprano family, the organization was founded in the 1930s by original Boss Ercole DiMeo, who would lead the Family for more than 50 years. Some of its influential leaders included Capo Johnny Soprano, his brother and son and future Bosses Corrado and Tony respectively, Acting Boss Giacomo Aprile, Underboss Paulie Gualtieri and Consigliere Silvio Dante, among others. Though exponentially powerful during the mid-to-late 20th century, the Family began to lose influence beginning during the late 1990s, and were substantially weakened after a Mafia War with the New York Lupertazzi Crime Family in 2007 where Underboss Bobby Baccalieri was killed and Dante was left in a severe coma. The organization's rackets and activities include schemes and frauds in the garbage industry, stolen car operations, drug trafficking, real estate fraud, and joint operations with Camorra crime syndicates in Naples such as the Zucca Crime Family.

## History

The DiMeo family was founded in the 1950's by Ercole DiMeo and soon after was made boss and after his arrest, Giacomo Aprile Sr. became boss in 1995. During the late 1990's, the DiMeo family was more weakened by infighting and the death of Aprile in 1999. The family remained stable for several years until 2007 when Soprano waged war with Lupertazzi Crime Family boss, Phil Leotardo. The DiMeos were victorious with Leotardo being killed. The DiMeos were further weakened by the death of Tony Soprano in 2013 of a heart attack, with Paulie Gualtieri becoming boss as Silvio Dante and Larry Barese retired after Soprano's death.

Dandeny Munoz Mosquera

**Dandeny Muñoz Mosquera** (born August 27, 1966) (alias ***"La Quica" (Fat Girl)*** and also known as **Juan Diego Diaz**), is a Colombian former hitman for the Medellín Cartel, a drug trafficking group. He was described as at one point being the "chief assassin" for the Cartel's leader Pablo Escobar.

He was believed to be responsible for the deaths of an unknown number of people with official estimates ranging in the hundreds. US authorities currently link him to the deaths of more than 220 people, having supposedly murdered members of both his own organization the Medellín Cartel and the rival Cali Cartel, as well as police officers and government officials. Colombian authorities connect him to the deaths of more than 40 police officers.

Arrested in 1991, he is serving multiple life sentences in a US prison. He was the first person ever to be convicted under a 1956 Federal law that made bombing a civilian aircraft a crime and the 1986 terrorism statute that allows the trial of foreign citizens in the United States if at least one victim was an American citizen. Among his convicted crimes is the 1989 bombing of Avianca Flight 203, which killed 110 civilians.

## Biography

Born in Medellin, Muñoz Mosquera's father was a police officer and his mother an evangelist. He was raised in the church. He is believed to have joined the Medellín Cartel in 1978 at the age of twelve after being drawn into the gang by his brother Brance (also known as Tyson due to his resemblance to boxer Mike Tyson) before becoming a gunman in his teens. He was given the nickname "La Quica" (Colombian slang for "the fat girl") from a young age due to his resemblance to his great-aunt. He rose to become one of Pablo Escobar's highest ranking enforcers. However, Muñoz Mosquera has claimed that he joined the Colombian army as a teenager before leaving in 1986 and was jailed on "three or four" occasions on minor theft charges.

In 1989, he was arrested and convicted of being one of the main conspirators in the assassination of New Liberalism founder Luis Carlos Galán, a candidate in the Colombian presidential election set to be held in May 1990. Galán was murdered by an unknown gunman as he took the stage at a political rally to deliver a campaign speech in Soacha. He was jailed in the capital city, Bogotá, but escaped in April 1990 after paying more than $500,000 in bribes, the second time he had escaped from a Colombian prison.

He was wanted in connection with the murder of over 40 police officers in Colombia after Pablo Escobar began offering a $4000 reward for the murder of any officer in Medellín. Colombian authorities also believe that he was directly involved in the bombing at the headquarters of the Administrative Department of Security in December 1989 and a rocket attack on the US Embassy. He was also believed to run a training camp for teenage potential *sicarios* (hitmen) for the Cartel. He has two children.

## Biography

#### Early Life and Education

Daniel Clarke was born in Oxford, England, United Kingdom on 16 April 1921 and as a young man became a vocal activist for a growing Communist movement in England during the 1940s, supporting the British Communist Party. However, as the Cold War escalated he found himself ostracised from various scientific societies due to his open and frequently espoused political opinions. As anti-communist sentiment took hold in Britain, he was further demonised by his peers. Clarke's goal was to research diseases affecting farmers and their live stock such as anthrax and foot-and-mouth disease. His plan failed due to lack of support due to his communist views. Ultimately, he had no choice but to leave Britain to find support elsewhere.

### Project Nova

Looking for new supporters and patrons he travelled to the Soviet Union in 1964, and subsequently worked under the Nova project, where his expertise in biology and chemistry came to play. He worked primarily to stabilize certain compounds in the Nova 6 gas. Clarke never directly worked with Dragovich however, but knew once his work on the project was completed, Dragovich would kill him to prevent any loose ends.

#### Escape, Capture, and Death

Clarke managed to escape from the Soviet Union, intending to seek refuge at his brother's house in Johannesburg but remained on the run the whole time, primarily from Dragovich's men. But even when he was on the run, his research continued, as samples of Nova 6 stored in canisters were present in his makeshift lab in Hong Kong. In 1968, he was captured by CIA operatives, Jason Hudson and Grigori Weaver and he revealed that Friedrich Steiner created the Nova 6 chemical gas, as well as the base of operation in the USSR, Clarke promised to reveal information on Nova 6 if Hudson and Weaver saved him from the soldiers sent by Dragovich. They later engaged in a firefight with Russian forces and attempted to escape from the building when Clarke was shot through the head by a Spetsnaz sniper before he could finish telling Hudson and Weaver details. Hudson later dropped his body into an alleyway and escaped with Weaver back to the United States.
