Albert "Caesar" Tocco (August 9, 1929 – September 21, 2005) was an American mobster and high-ranking member of the Chicago Outfit during the 1970s and 1980s.
His brother, Joseph "Papa Joe" Tocco, helmed the Chicago Outfit's activities in Phoenix, Arizona, from the 1960s through to the 1980s.
[1] On May 14, 1990, Tocco was sentenced to 200 years in prison for racketeering, conspiracy, extortion and tax fraud, after a trial in which his wife, Betty, testified against him.
Betty is believed to be the first wife of an organized crime leader to testify against her husband, and she reportedly entered the federal witness protection program with their son Michael.
[3] With Tocco in prison, Dominick Palermo briefly took over the Chicago Heights operations before his 1991 conviction for extorting protection money.
