Frank
Nitti was born on January 27, 1888, in Agri, Italy.
Mr. Nitti was a member of the Five Point Gang in New
York City prior to becoming one of Alphonse Capone's
top lieutenants in the Chicago organized crime syndicate.
When Frank Nitti was indicted for tax evasion in Chicago,
Illinois in 1930, two agents were detailed by the
United States Attorney's Office to guard a Federal
witness to prevent the witness from leaving the jurisdiction
in order not to testify against Mr. Nitti.
