About Frank Salemme
Francis Patrick Salemme, sometimes spelled Salemmi, also known as "Cadillac Frank" and "the General", was an American mobster from Boston, Massachusetts who became a hitman and eventually the boss of the Patriarca crime family of New England before turning government witness. While in prison in 1957, Salemme became acquainted with Anthony Morelli, a member of the Patriarca crime family which controlled organized crime throughout New England. Salemme and Flemmi formed a partnership, and the duo became enforcers, bookmakers and loan sharks for the Patriarca family caporegime Ilario "Larry Baione" Zannino in the North End of Boston. Salemme and underboss Grasso became the de facto leaders of Patriarca Jr.'s wing of the crime family.
