The Angiulo Brothers (''Donato, 03/21/1923 - 05/03/2009'', ''Francesco, 1921 - 05/30/15'', ''Gennaro, 1919 - 08/29/09'', and ''James''), were the leading Italian-American crime group from Boston's North End, during the late 1960s to the early 1980s. As made men in the Patriarca crime family, they were placed in control of the racketeering throughout Massachusetts, until Irish Mob groups such as the Winter Hill Gang and the Charlestown Mob decided to run the rackets in their own neighborhoods. During this time Winter Hill Gang members James J. Bulger and Stephen Flemmi were informing on their Italian mob colleagues by allowing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to bug their headquarters during the early 1980s. Gennaro "Jerry" Angiulo was born in Boston’s North End on March 20, 1919, to the late Cesare and Giovannina (Femiani) Angiulo. He grew up with his brother Francesco, and his late siblings Stella Orlandella, Nicolo, Donato, Antonio, and Michele Angiulo. Gennaro Angiulo enlisted in the U.S. Navy at the beginning of World War II and served 4 years in the Pacific Theatre. He achieved the rank of Chief Boatswain's Mate. Upon completion of his service to the United States, he moved back to the North End of Boston.〔 The FBI had been after him since the early 1960s. With the help of the FBI's own criminal informants James "Whitey" Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, they were able to gain a great deal of incriminating information regarding Angiulo's racketeering operations. The FBI was able to successfully plant listening devices in a bar he owned on Tremont Street. He was arrested September 19, 1983 at his North End hangout, then convicted three years later on racketeering charges.〔 Gennaro Angiulo was granted parole and was released from federal prison on September 10, 2007. He died from kidney failure at Massachusetts General Hospital on August 29, 2009.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angiulo Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
