On the record
- 1983 — 895 F.2d 1: "In 1983, defendant-appellant Ilario M.A. Zannino, allegedly a predominant figure in the so-called 'Patriarca Family' of La Cosa Nostra, was indicted by a federal grand jury."
- 1980–1981 — 895 F.2d 1 recounts trial evidence of a barbooth gambling business at a social club in Lowell, Massachusetts in which he had a financial interest.
- 10 January 1990 — 895 F.2d 1 affirmed his convictions on the three counts on which he was tried and his 30-year sentence, writing that "Zannino was a 'Capo Regime' — loosely, a captain — in the Patriarca Family, serving under Angiulo."
- 1999 — United States v. Salemme, 91 F. Supp. 2d 141 (D. Mass. 1999): "Illario Zannino, who was also known as Larry Baione."
He was tried on three counts only: two counts of conducting an illegal gambling business and one extortionate extension of credit. The RICO count in the 1983 indictment was not part of that trial. The role line is the appeals court’s statement of what the trial evidence established. The 1999 opinion spells the first name “Illario.” No opened record gives his birth or death date.
