Fiore Siano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiore Ernest Siano (1927-May 1964?) was a New York criminal and drug trafficker. A nephew of Joe Valachi, a mobster and later government informant, Siano was suspected by authorities to have ties with organized crime figures as a freelance gunman later implicated in the deaths of Steven Franse and Eugenio Giannini [1].
A career criminal with arrests for burglary and narcotics violations since 1948, Siano was convicted of distributing heroin and cocaine to New York and interstate drug traffickers in late 1954 and sentenced to eight years imprisonment on November 27, 1954.
After his release, Siano was suspected of talking to authorities regarding the Gainini murder and disappeared in late April or early May 1964 after he left with three unidentified men at Patsy's Pizzeria on Manhattan's First Avenue.
