Family Secrets Tour, Chicago

Ruthless loansharking. Brutish racketeering. Cold-blooded murder. What sounds like a list of plot arcs from a Martin Scorsese film are just a few of the charges that resulted from Operation Family Secrets, an FBI investigation into the legendary Chicago Outfit crime syndicate. Formerly led by Al Capone, the midwest mafia chapter suffered a stunning blow after Frank Calabrese Jr. cooperated with authorities to capture his father—a made man in the mob— and quell the group's rampant violence.

These days, Frank Jr. gives taxpaying citizens an inside look at his former life in the mafia. On bus tours of Chinatown and Little Italy, Frank shares gritty, unfiltered stories about historical mafia landmarks and his role as a soldier in one of the country's most notorious criminal outfits.
