Pasqualino Lolordo

Pasqualino Lolordo

Pasqualino "Patsy" Lolordo (d. January 8, 1929) was an organized crime figure and head of the Chicago chapter of the Unione Siciliana during the late 1920s.

Lolordo succeeded Antonio "The Scourge" Lombardo, an associate of Al Capone, as chapter president. Lombardo had been killed only months before after he refused to turn the presidency over to mobster Joe Aiello. Lolordo was supported by the national Unione Siciliana president, Frankie Yale, in New York. Some speculate that Lolordo wanted to reform the organization like another former chapter leader, Mike Merlo.

However, Lolordo didn't have sufficient time to do anything. On January 8, 1929, Pasqualino Lolordo was shot and killed by unidentified gunmen in his home. The hit may have been arranged by George "Bugs" Moran, a leader of the North Side Gang and a bitter rival of Capone.
