  • Fred Sica, as he was known, was a well known Los Angeles gangster who was associated with many Mobsters, including Bugsy Siegel, Mickey Cohen and also members of the Los Angeles crime family. He was involved in every racket from illegal bookmaking and extortion to prostitution and drug dealing. Fred was once described by a prosecutor as being a "living and breathing crime wave". Fred was also a top lieutenant in the Sica Gang. The gang was made up of Fred Sica's brothers. They were all hardcore hoodlums and led by their crime boss brother Joseph "JS" Sica. The Sica's helped to organize independent bookies for the Siegel and Cohen crime syndicate that was allied with mafia Godfather Jack Dragna. Fred and the gang eventually partnered up with Chicago Outfit mobster, Chris Petti. Headquartered in Hollywood, at the Formosa Cafe, the rapacious crew committed every crime from blackmailing movie stars, to past posting bookies and drug trafficking. The Sica gang even had a crucial witness clipped who was due to testify against them in a big-league drug case. The case was scrapped after the rub-out of the rat. In 1959, Fred was charged with contempt of court along with Cohen for refusing to testify before a State Rackets Committee. Fred and his brother continued to be powers in California organized crime until age and death began to catch up to them.
