Philadelphia Mobster Wanted Frank Sinatra Dead

A high profile Mob trial began last Thursday in Philadelphia and on Monday we learn that reputed Mob 'boss' Joseph Ligambi wanted crooner Frank Sinatra dead for insulting him at a concert.

Ligambi is charged with illegal gambling and extortion.

Secret tapes recorded by mobster-turned FBI informant Nicholas 'Nicky Skins' Stefanelli were put forward as evidence.  The tapes reveal Ligambi’s deep hatred for Sinatra.

From The Daily Mail:

One conversation took place between 69-year-old Stefanelli and Licata at the American Bistro in New Jersey last April. Louis Fazzini, 45, and Nicholas Mitarotunda, 74, were also allegedly at the meal.

The men talk about a mafia consigliere (advisor) called Antonio 'Tony Bananas' Caponigro who was told by Sinatra to 'stop talking' during a performance. The mobster was so enraged, he was said to have 'hated' the singer and threatened to kill him.

The trial resumes on Thursday and could last as long as three months.
