Carmine Lombardozzi came under the scrutiny of the McClellan Committee after he attended the Apalachin meeting in upstate New York in 1957. He was a rogue mafia figure who beat up cops and took great liberties with the money that he earned through loansharking and vending machines. So much so that his fellow mobsters targeted him to be killed at one point. Instead he was allowed to live and fined $10,000. Carmine was a pal of Gambino family head John Gotti.
