Daniel Pagano (pronounced "Pah-GAH-noh")(born 1953) is a New York mobster and a caporegime in the Genovese crime family who was involved in a famous gasoline bootlegging racket of the 1980s. Born in New York, Pagano is the son of Joseph Pagano, a soldier in the Genovese family. In 1973, the New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested Daniel Pagano for selling narcotics to undercover officers. During the arrest, Pagano was shot in the back by police while leaning against a police car.〔("Police Shoot Narcotics Suspect, Son of Reputed Genovese Aide; $2,500 Paid" ) By EDWARD HUDSON New York Times March 25, 1973〕 ==Meeting with Sharpton== In the early 1980s, Pagano became acquainted with African-American activist Al Sharpton. In 1983, Colombo crime family mobster Michael Franzese arranged a meeting with Pagano, Sharpton, and another mob associate (who was an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent). The meeting was ostensibly about the mob associate asking Sharpton for an introduction to boxing promoter Don King. However, during the meeting, the associate unsuccessfully tried to enlist Sharpton's assistance in distributing narcotics. After the meeting, the FBI approached Sharpton and allegedly garnered his assistance as an informant against Pagano. However, Sharpton denies this claim to this day.〔 *("Street-Wise Impresario; Sharpton Calls the Tunes, and Players Take Their Cues" ) By MARTIN GOTTLIEB with DEAN BAQUET New York Times December 19, 1991 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Pagano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
