Biography
Anthony Joseph Giacalone (January 9, 1919 – February 23, 2001), also known as Tony Jack, was an American mobster in Detroit who served as a capo, and later as a street boss, in the Detroit Partnership. In terms of Mafia organization, he was listed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1963 as one of the “Big Men” and deemed an administrator or heir apparent. He came to public notice during the 1970s investigations into the disappearance of Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa, as he was one of two Mafia members – the other being Anthony Provenzano – that Hoffa had arranged to meet on the day he disappeared. In 1976, Giacalone was sentenced to 10 years in prison for tax evasion. He died of natural causes on February 23, 2001.
