This FBI file concerns Philadelphia racketeer Harry Riccobene, also known as 'Little Harry' and 'Hunchback Harry.' The Philadelphia office prepared top-hoodlum coverage memoranda in 1954 and 1955 that summarized his reported numbers, bookmaking, narcotics, stolen-property, and other criminal associations, along with arrest and identification-record material. The records describe narcotics arrests and convictions, alleged connections to theft and underworld activity, businesses and locations attributed to him, and associates including Angelo Bruno. A 1977 FBI surveillance report records activity at Tyrone DeNittis Booking Agency on South Broad Street in Philadelphia, including Riccobene entering and leaving the premises and meeting visitors.
