Peter DiFronzo

Peter DiFronzo (May 13, 1933) is the brother of the late John DiFronzo (reputed to be a former leader of the Chicago Outfit)[1] and Joseph DiFronzo. Peter DiFronzo is supposedly a made man.[1] In 1965, he was arrested for interstate stolen property and served ten years in prison. He was featured in William F. Roemer Jr's War of the Godfathers: The Bloody Confrontation Between the Chicago and New York Families for Control of Las Vegas in 1990. His wife, Josephine, is part owner of D&P Trucking, located in Chicago, Illinois, though authorities believe it is Peter and his brothers Joe and John that actually run the enterprise.[2] Peter is also supposedly active in some of the Outfit's racketeering schemes.[3]
