	Paul Ricca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul "The Waiter" Ricca (1897-October 11, 1972) was an American Mafia figure based in Chicago.

		Ricca did this despite his correct view that although Frank Nitti was an educated man, and learned from him what he could, Nitti was a hothead, more prone to act first and think later.
		Ricca's legal team, made up mostly of former government agents, replied that since he was wanted for murder in Italy that to deport him there would be "heartless" and he and his legal team sent letters to the immigration offices of 60 countries indicating what kind of undesirable Ricca was.
		Ricca went to court with an army of lawyers to fight the ruling, and, predictably, the judge ruled that deportation was impossible since no country wanted the Godfather within their borders.

	Paul RICCA, Chicago Mob Boss
		Ricca decided that he wanted to be transferred to Leavenworth prison since it was closer to Chicago, and probably safer, so the three influential Chicago hoods filed for an application.
		Even though the IRS was aware of Ricca's legitimate cash worth pegged at $300,000 and his $500,000 in real estate in Kendall County, Illinois, and that Campagna admitted to owning $225,000 worth of property with an annual income of $100,000 from the gambling rackets, the government settled for $126,000 plus interest.
		Avoiding deportation, Ricca took back control of the outfit in 1965 with Tony Accardo and continued to run its affairs as a kind of "elder statesman" until he died of natural causes in 1972.

	Frank Nitti
		But it was ludicrous to expect the likes of the Fischetti brothers, Jake Guzik, Tony Accardo, Paul Ricca, Murray Humphreys, and others to follow his orders.
		Ricca had by this time more obviously taken charge of the mob, often countermanding a Nitti order by saying, "We'll do it this way.
		Ricca decided the movie indictments made the time perfect to call in Nitti's cards as a front man. At a meeting of the top leaders of the mob he ordered Nitti to plead guilty and take the rap for all of them.

	Laborers-LIUNA's Controled by Tony Accardo
		When Frank Nitti committed suicide in 1943, Paul "the Waiter Ricca assumed control of the Outfit, even though he was incarcerated in a federal prison at the time.
		In 1957 or so, Paul Ricca decided that Accardo should shun the limelight for a while, in favor of Sam "Momo" Giancana, an ambitious, but maniacal killer whose modest bungalow in Oak Park was a far cry from the palatial estate the Big Tuna resided in.
		Paul Ricca succeeded in diverting the attention away from Accardo, but the publicity surrounding Giancana's own ostentatious life style forced another change in 1966, the year after Momo went into a self-imposed exile following a year-long stretch in prison after he refused to testify before a federal grand jury.

		Ricca immediately ripped Nitti for being the mastermind of the scheme, and said he should take the fall.
		With Nitti gone, Ricca was the obvious successor, but on New Year’s Eve 1943 he was sentenced to ten years in prison in the Hollywood Extortion Case.

	Changing of the guard
		While Ricca was the real Wizard of Oz for the Chicago mob, Frank Nitti performed well as the focal munchkin, keeping the Wicked Witch of a government misled and its eyes off Ricca.
		Paul "the Waiter" Ricca (his moniker rooted in his early days as a waiter at Esposito’s Bella Napoli Restaurant) had acclimated successfully to the new way of running a syndicate; he made sure his boys paid taxes and owned legitimate businesses with records suitable for federal inspection at any time.
		Between running his assorted businesses, he was often summoned by Ricca to persuade either a store owner to become a client in their protection scheme or to remind a factory worker that it was probably smart to vote for a union he may not have ordinarily wanted.

		When Al Capone was incarcerated in 1929, it was speculated that Frank Nitti took over the Chicago mob, but in reality it was Paul Ricca who really was in charge, keeping Nitti on a short leash, and in the spotlight as a cover for what was really going on.
		Shortly after these events, Newberry himself was murdered, and Nitti and Ricca were back in business, later on, in the much publicized Hollywood Extortion case, where he, and other mobsters were indicted on extortion charges in relation to major motion picture studios, he was held responsible by Ricca for the arrests.
		This rather unsettling development left Nitti between a rock and a hard place, having to choose between prison, or the possibility of being rubbed out by his associates, Frank Nitti put a gun to his temple, and pulled the trigger.
