Years ago, Cleveland’s mob wars played out daily on the front page, as bombings, indictments and slayings became routine. Today, the mob’s story is written in the obituaries of its soldiers who ordered the executions and demanded payments for shipments of drugs. Donna Fitzsimmons will tell us about the Federal takedown of the Mob and how she served as the lead prosecutor in the federal prosecution of Cleveland Mob boss Angelo “Big Ange” Lonardo and several of his subordinates. “Big Ange” became the highest-ranking member of the Mafia to become a government witness. His testimony was instrumental in bringing down Mafia families in every major US city.
