Valachi Details Cosa Nostra Ties and Travel Routes to Senators
Joe Valachi testified in a Senate hearing about Cosa Nostra, naming links to New England, mentioning Patriarcha, and describing visits to Buffalo and Utica. He recalled travels through Arkansas and Chicago and offered to discuss gang land collusion with union officials in private. He recounted his initiation and warned his own doom as he exposed the crime family. Prosecutors planned charts to map the New York branch with Valachi providing details up to 1959. Some cases remain active in NYPD files and police prosecutors show strong interest.
