In addition to enforcers, many Latin American street gangsters were trained to become assassins in the cartel, which has a reputation for extreme brutality and violence.

John DiFronzo
In 1993, a man named John "No Nose" DiFronzo took over as the boss of the Chicago Outfit. DiFronzo was a veteran enforcer and caporegime of the family. He got the nickname "No Nose" because he sliced off part of his nose while jumping through a window during a 1949 clothing store burglary. DiFronzo is known for his dangerous temper. However, little information is available about his true personality. In 2005, DiFronzo avoided indictment in the "Family Secrets" trial of the top Chicago Mafia leaders. This fact, along with other federal indictments has caused some to question DiFronzo's true motivations and possible connection with the police. As of 2012, he continues to run the Chicago Outfit.
