Crime and their Victims
A high level member of the Cleveland crime family who was involved in labor racketeering, drug trafficking and extortion in Cleveland, Ohio. Upon the death of mob boss John Scalish, the Five Families' decision to appoint James Licavoli as boss of the family and the latter's attempts to confiscate Nardi's rackets leads the Nardi crew to fully align themselves with Danny Greene. After two unsuccessful attempts on his life, Fat Tony Salerno hired hit man Ray Ferritto who killed Nardi with a bomb planted in his car.
