The Inzerillo Mafia clan (Italian pronunciation: [indzeˈrillo]) is a Sicilian Mafia clan, formerly among the most powerful in Sicily, that was considered the "aristocracy of Palermo's mafia" for at least half a century .[1]
The Inzerillo family was associated with the former American Mafia boss Carlo Gambino and his family. In the modern era, the Inzerillo clan had been associated with John Gambino through heroin trafficking, and also has links to the deceased former Gambino family boss, Frank Cali.
