This next fella needs no introduction at all. During his lifetime, he was to become one of the most recognized and notorious gangsters the United States ever produced. It could be argued that Johnny Dio was the preeminent labor-union racketeer in the nation.  

At the height of his underworld power during the 1950s and 1960s, Johnny Dio’s name became a household word, evoking images of a Hollywood gangster straight out of central casting. There was hardly an American citizen unfamiliar with the notorious Johnny Dio. 

And despite what many have written to the contrary, technically speaking, John Ignazio Dioguardi held but the rank of a mere Mafia soldier during his lifetime. 

But in actuality, Johnny Dio’s awesome power and influence far outstripped that of 99% of his fellow soldiers and outranked that of many top Mafia capos. His criminal exploits are unparalleled and legendary. 

So, without further ado, here’s our in-depth look at Johnny Dio!
