John Petrone was a shadowy Bonanno Family soldier who seems to have mostly operated under the radar. But authorities once described him as “one of the most important criminals in both the US and Canada.”
A suspected diamond, gold, and narcotics smuggler, Petrone was associated with some of the major Cosa Nostra crime figures of the time, including Carmine Galante, Michael Consolo, Joe Beck DiPalermo, and his brother Charlie Brody DiPalermo.
