James LaPietra

James "Jimmy the Lapper" LaPietra was a Chicago mobster and member of Chicago Outfit. He was also the younger brother of mobster Angelo "the Hook" LaPietra.
A minor organized crime figure with arrests for burglary and rape, LaPietra was involved in labor racketeering and other criminal activities in Chicago's South Side for the 26th Street crew. In April 1985, LaPietra was named by Stephen O'Mallory, a staff attorney for the President's Commission on Organized Crime, as a member of the Chicago Outfit. This accusation was based on testimony from labor union official John Serpico during federal hearings on labor racketeering.
LaPietra was also involved in the murder of Tony and Michael Spilotro in Bensenville in June 1986. His involvement came to light following Nick Calabrese informing the Federal Bureau of Investigation about details of the killing before becoming a government witness in a case against the mob in Chicago.
