Kansas City mafia has lost another of its elder members with the passing of Peter Tamburello a long time Missouri mob power. Tamburello was the last remaining member of the inner circle of long time Kansas City mob boss Nick Civella who died back in 1983. He served under Civella as a driver, bodyguard, and a trusted aid during his time in the mafia. The mafia in Kansas City also lost Carl Deluna the one time underboss under Civella back in 2008.
“Peter Tamburello“
Tamburello was convicted along with mob boss Civella on conspiracy to bribe a public official and was sent to prison in 1981 until 1983. Then in 1985 he was accused of skimming money from Las Vegas casinos along with other powerful mob figures but was acquitted. Civella and his regime were both respected and feared with in the mafia across the country at the height of their reign over Kansas City.
The Kansas City mafia is currently being run by boss John Sciortino and under boss Peter Simone according to the feds. The family like many others across the country has diminished in size and power over the last several years but unlike some other former mob families it has been able to maintain a partial leadership structure.
i have said this for along time that the KC mob is being run as a family small yes but still being run as a family not like the bufflo mob which is not even a proper leadership. Pete back in the day was a big time wiseguy. That family has declined though when willie the rat died in 1995 but anotny managed to keep tings going to 2006 then john took over. John and Peter simone are hard core wiseguys they are big time earners and have been around the life all there lives peter simone has ties to the john stranda hit back in 1990 and many others. They have willie cammansio jr he is a nut i mean this guy is respnisble for about 10 hits just in the 80s his father was caught on tape saying his son his good at hits that was in the 80s willie is a capo he is 67 now and he is still in the life the 2010 indicments show a major gambling ring he was running. There is vinnie who what i hear is not hard core gangster a bit soft thats what KC guys tell me but i hear differant from others he was big in that 2010 gambling ring he is a capo.
Nicholas civella is a dangerous he got pinched with a gun and meth there was rumerous he was cooperating but those rumeorous. Peter has not got arrested since 2000 where he got arrested from parole him and john managed stay out of the 2010 indicments i know they wanted to include peter in those indicments i think they got one of his kids in the indicments. They grand juried aload of guys they all refused to tesiify. There is Gerlarmo Cammisano he is also willie rat kid and willie jr brother he is not knowen for violence but he was busted in the gambling ring. There is the sansons kids anotny civella grand kids young guys the future of that family. Micheal simone a wiseguy who has alleged politcal linkspeters brother(unconfirmed).James Moretina son of charles morentia his father used to take money of the casinios. James got arrested with peter simone in 1992 for there poker machine racket
there is alot of guys like james dicapo and others but they are the main players
the Kanas City mafia is alike the detorit mafia in the way alot of there members are related
Good comparison to Detroit as they have adapted to operating very quietly and in the background unlike some other families and it has allowed for them to stay afloat and with enough guys around to still maintain at least a partial leadership base.
Love how this site covers families I would know nothing about if I didnt read. If it ain’t jersey, philly, or NYc I woukdnt have a clue. Good stuff.
