He was the longest tenured boss in the history of the American Mafia. Magaddino was also involved in national La Cosa Nostra affairs. Magaddino was a charter member of Charles "Lucky" Luciano's Mafia Commission and attended important underworld summits such as the 1946 Havana Conference and the 1957 Apalachin Conference. It is believed Magaddino, along with Antonio and Johnny Papalia played a role in notorious Hamilton bootlegger Rocco Perri's disappearance in 1944, to gain more Canadian market control. Although fairly popular, Magaddino had enemies and survived several assassination attempts. In 1936, rival gangsters attempted to kill Magaddino with a bomb, killing his sister instead. In 1958, an assassin tossed a hand grenade through his kitchen window, which failed to explode. This second attempt on his life was said to be directed by mobsters who blamed Magaddino for the failed Apalachin Meeting, which was raided by New York State Police. Magaddino had never spent any significant time in prison, but in 1968, he and his son Peter were arrested and charged with interstate bookmaking. A raid on his son's home in Niagara Falls led to the discovery of approximately $473,134 in a suitcase. This created great animosity between the Buffalo family members and the Magaddinos, and led to a breakdown of their cooperation concerning criminal activities. The Buffalo family split into dissident factions; the leaders met in Rochester at the end of 1968, and by early 1969 ousted Magaddino as boss, leaving him to lead a faction made up of his once powerful in-laws and older crime family members, from 1969 until he died several years later. Stefano Magaddino died of a heart attack on July 19, 1974 at age 82 at Mount Saint Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, New York. His funeral mass was celebrated at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church and he was buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls. ย โณ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โณ 00:00 โ Intro 05:40 โ Recap on the series 13:00 โ The Apalachin Meeting 14:01 โ The French Connection 16:09 โ End of recap, more on the Papalia-Agueci Network 23:11 - *TRIGGER WARNING* skip this chapter if you do not do well with explicit reiterations of crimes 25:08 โ End of trigger warning, back to Alberto Agueci 27:21 โ Fred Randaccio takes over Buffalo 28:44 โ Stefano Magaddinoโs paranoia 31:09 โ The fake Stefano Magaddino v Joseph Bonanno feud 37:28 โ Magaddinoโs role in the mafia 40:17 โ Charges start coming down 47:08 โ Tullah Hanley 54:26 โ The charges came until the end ย ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppi
