Secret Mafia Links Tie Killings to U S Organized Crime in Italy
A secret U S intelligence report from Italy ties the Sicilian and Camorra bosses to recent Palermo violence. It notes John LiVoti of New York, a reputed mob figure, inspected the scene, while Ignazio Selta and two bodyguards were killed in a car ambush. LiVoti then attended a Mafia meeting in Legnano to readjust leadership, but authorities arrested all present. The report also links Tommasso Buscetta to narcotics trafficking through Mexico.
