Photos of Chicago Member Sam 'Teets' Battaglia (1908-1973).
Born to parents from Termini Imerese in Palermo, Battaglia was an influential member of the Family who held a leadership position following Boss Sam Giancana's legal problems and subsequent relocation to Mexico.
Characterized in FBI documents as 'reluctant' to assume control, Battaglia was beset with legal problems of his own culminating in a fifteen year sentence for extortion. He died in 1973.
FBI files on Sam Battaglia have been uploaded by the Milwaukee Mafia site and can be found here.
