A gunman who migrated to Australia in 1951, Vincenzo Angilletta was an extortionist and gunman in his native Calabria.
He became a producer of fruit and vegetables for the Melbourne mafia-style organised crime group which has been termed the "Society".
He wanted the society to be like the Sicilian Mafia in the United States and called for extortion rackets to include non- Italians.
This was rejected by Domenico Demarte, who had filled the breach after the death of Godfather Domenico Italiano, and other Society elders.
Angilletta reacted to this snub by refusing to sell his produce to designated wholesalers and going direct to the public.
Vincenzo Angilletta was ambushed outside his home and blasted to death by both barrels of a shotgun.
