Frank “Cadillac Frank” Salemme: The Rise, Reign, and Ruin of a New England Mob Boss

This episode of Mobstercast Chronicles unpacks the turbulent life of Frank “Cadillac Frank” Salemme, the stylish, steel‑nerved mobster who clawed his way from Boston street enforcer to boss of the Patriarca crime family. We trace his violent ascent through the New England underworld, his near‑fatal ambush outside an IHOP, his brief reign as don, and the FBI corruption scandal that pulled him into the national spotlight. From his years as a feared hitman to his final downfall in the Steven DiSarro murder case, Salemme’s story captures the last great chapter of the New England Mafia — a world built on loyalty, betrayal, and the high cost of survival.  Become a supporter of this podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mobstercastchronicles--6052763/support
