Bonanno, Joseph

Bonanno, Joseph
▪ 2003
“Joe Bananas” 
      Italian-born American organized crime figure (b. Jan. 18, 1905, Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Italy—d. May 11, 2002, Tucson, Ariz.), was the founder of one of the five crime families that were the heart of the Commission, which united feuding Sicilian gangs. Although he guided the Bonanno family's underworld activities from 1931 until the mid-1960s, he avoided imprisonment until the 1980s, when he twice served time—once for a year for obstruction of justice and later for 14 months for contempt of court.
