The Fischetti brothers are well-known underworld characters
jin the Chicago area, who have been regorted by other sources to be
closely acquainted with Frank Sinatra. The Fischettis are reported to
be covsins of the late Alphonse Capone. This may possibly account for
Sinatra's connection with them, if it is true, as reported above, that he
is a nephew of Ralph Capone, the brother of the late Al Capone.
ee Joseph Fischetti, born in May, 1910, Brooklyn, New York, is
wd considered more or less a public relations contact for his two brothers,
ae Rocco and Charles, and is known to have contacts throughout the country
o among the underworld, as well as with individuals in the entertainment
field. It is believed that he is associated rith his brothers in
handbook operations in Chicago and, according to reports, the brothers
operate a gambline concession at the Chez Paree night club in Chicago,
which is rerorted to be operated under the protection of Joseph Arvey
and Arthur X. Elrod, Democratic politicians in Chicago.
