  • Schiro, a career criminal, first became associated with the Chicago Outfit through his close friendship with Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro, who from the 1970s until his murder in 1986, was the Outfits representative in Las Vegas, which also meant representing any thing west of the Mississippi River. Schiro was for a time, reportedly a member of the "Hole in the Wall Gang" led by Spilotro and mob soldier Frank Cullotta. He was nicknamed "The Indian" because of his physical resemblance to Native Americans. During the 1970s, Spilotro placed Schiro, then reputedly a soldier, in Scottsdale, Arizona. He ran the 'Scotch Mist' Restaurant, which many people from Chicago and California used as a hangout. Schiro was featured in a 1978 Arizona Republic special report on Mafia figures in the state. He was a business partner of 73-year-old Emil Vaci who once operated a mob-connected business ferrying gamblers to Las Vegas. After Spilotro's murder, Schiro allegedly became the overseer of the Chicago mob's interests in Arizona, before Schiro it was allegedly Jack Tocco, of the Detroit Partnership, who ran Chicago's interests in Phoenix. Schiro was also said to be allowed by the Outfit to carry out his own burglary activity in Arizona.
