Script
In November 1987, an unremarkable flour sack delivered to a Brooklyn bakery during the Pizza Connection Trial held a tiny, handwritten ledger in Sicilian dialect. Federal agents spent months sifting through shipments, but only this one book surfaced. The numbers inside matched payments traced from pizza parlors across the country to bank accounts in Palermo. That ledger, smuggled by Salvatore Catalano’s cousin, was enough to convict 22 defendants, ending the largest Mafia heroin network the U.S. had ever seen.
