Stefano Magaddino

Born October 10, 1891.

Born in Sicily, Stefano Magaddino is the boss of the Buffalo/Niagara Falls Mafia and a significant figure in the national organization. His organization is currently under some scrutiny into counterfeiting operations which appear to be linked to other criminal organizations, notably Gaspare Messina's in Boston and Frank Boyle's in the same city. A member of his borgata, Gaetano Capodicaso, has been arrested in connection with these operations, during a raid in which Michael O'Connell, lieutenant in Boyle's organization, and Filippo Buccola, a captain in Messina's, barely escaped arrest.
