Joseph Lonardo (Italian pronunciation: [loˈnardo]; October 20, 1884 – October 13, 1927), also known as "Big Joe", was a Sicilian emigrant to the United States who became the first crime boss of the Cleveland crime family, which he structured from a competing number of organized crime gangs. When national Prohibition began in 1920, Lonardo became a dealer in corn sugar, an essential ingredient in the manufacture of corn whiskey. Lonardo became a "sugar baron" by driving other legitimate corn sugar merchants out of business, encouraging home distillation, and using intimidation, murder, and theft to eliminate or drive his criminal competitors out of business.

  • Джозеф Лонардо (англ. Joseph Lonardo; 20 октября 1884, Ликата, Агридженто, Сицилия, Италия — 13 октября 1927, Кливленд, Огайо, США), также известный как «Большой Джо» (англ. Big Joe) — италоамериканский гангстер сицилийского происхождения, первый босс преступной семьи Кливленда, которую он же и сформировал из ряда организованных преступных группировок кливлендского района Литтл Итали. Когда в 1920 году вступил в силу «сухой закон», Лонардо и три его брата (Фрэнк, Джон и Доминик) стали снабжать бутлегеров в Кливленде и его окрестностях кукурузным сахаром и дрожажми, важными ингредиентами при производстве самогона. Используя запугивание, убийства и кражи, чтобы устранить или вытеснить конкурентов, Лонардо стал «сахарным бароном», сумев со временем создать региональную монополию. (ru)
