Michael Magnafichi is a member of the Chicago Outfit, an Italian-American organized crime syndicate based in Chicago, Illinois. He is the son of Lee Magnafichi, who also was a member of the Outfit, supposedly working under John "Jackie The Lackey" Cerone.[1] Michael would later become Jackie Cerone's personal driver.
In a declassified 2002 FBI memorandum, Magnafichi was identified as one of the principal threats to the safety of mob turncoat Nick Calabrese, a cooperating witness in the Operation Family Secrets trial.[2] [3]
Some sources claim that Michael, along with Rudy Fratto, was or still is an Elmwood Park street boss under Peter DiFronzo, brother of Outfit leader John DiFronzo.[4] However, an in-depth interview of Michael Magnafichi by Outfit historian Joseph Fosco in 2011 suggested that Michael had not been actively involved with the Outfit for years.[5]
In 2013, Michael, who spent years running book for the Chicago Outfit, began producing a sports podcast.[6]
