From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Michael Spilotro was the brother of Anthony Spilotro and was an associate of the Chicago Mafia crime family "The Outfit".
Career
Michael Peter Spilotro was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1944. He was the son of Pasquale Spilotro (1899–1954) and his wife Antoinette. He had five brothers, Vincent, Victor, Pasquale Jr., Tony and John. Pasquale Jr. became an oral surgeon and dentist in the Chicago area and Vincent lived a law-abiding life. Tony, John and Victor became criminals like Michael.
Michael was the manager of Hoagie's Pub on the west side of Chicago and stayed out of trouble until around 1980, when he started hanging around with members of The Outfit, including his brother Tony. He was friends with actor Robert Conrad and appeared as a stick-up man in Conrad's TV series The Duke in 1979.
By 1983, he was the man to see if you needed to talk to mobster Joey Lombardo in Chicago. He probably would have become a "made member" of The Outfit had his brother Tony not ended up in the doghouse. He was in so deep with Tony that he had to go too.
He was beaten to death and buried with his brother Tony in a St. Anne, Indiana, cornfield on June 14, 1986.
