Organized Crime Figure. He was a high ranking member of the Al Capone gang who formed a secret alliance with Capone enemy Joe Aiello. Giunta planned to kill Capone and take over his operations, and enlisted the help of Capone triggermen John Scalise and Albert Anselmi with the promise of higher positions when Giunta was in power. Capone found out about the plan and invited Giunta, Scalise and Anselmi to a dinner party at a roadhouse in rural Indiana. During dinner Capone brought out an Indian club he'd received as a gift and proceeded to beat the three men to near death. Capone then allegedly finished the job with gunshots. The bodies were found the next day in Douglas Park in Hammond. The bodies of Scalise and Anselmi were returned to Sicily for burial. No one was ever convicted for the crimes.
