Vincent Torelli From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vincent Torelli (born November 19, 1987) is an American reputed mobster, and an associate of the Alderney-based Torelli crime family, currently active in southern San Andreas. Vincent's father James Torelli, Jr. is the reputed boss of the Torelli crime family in Alderney City. Allegedly, Vincent worked closely with the Los Santos-based Martorano crime family. He was associated with captain John "Apples" Aparo in Downtown Los Santos during 2022. Prior to his association to the mafia, Vincent also worked as a business analyst for Faraday Securities Corporation, a stockbroking company on Wall Street in Liberty City, from 2005 until 2014. Vincent currently resides in Paleto Bay, San Andreas with his fiancée and their two children. Biography Vincent James Torelli was born on November 19, 1987 at the Westdyke Memorial Hospital in Alderney City. His father James was the acting boss of the Torelli crime family, and is of Sicilian descent with ancestry in Messina, Eastern Sicily. His mother Rosalie (née Sferra) was a homemaker also of Sicilian descent, with relatives in the commune of Ribera, in Agrigento, Western Sicily. Vincent also has a paternal relation to Western Sicily through his fifth cousin Samuel Cantavespre, who's family came from Bisacquino (only 82 kilometers from Agrigento). Samuel's mother Francesca Longo shared a cousin relation with Liberty City mobster Joe N. Gallo of the Amato crime family. Samuel is also a made member of the Liberty City-based Lombardo crime family, and is currently active in Birmingham, Alabama. Vincent was raised in the affluent Montclair neighborhood in Essex County, and attended Immaculate Conception High School. He graduated with a diploma in 2005, and later attended Vespucci University in Liberty City. He graduated in 2011 with a Master's Degree in Business Analytics. Career From 2005 until 2014, Vincent was employed as a business analyst for Faraday Securities Corporation in Liberty City. He was allegedly terminated in November 2014 due to job outsourcing. Vincent was unemployed from 2014 until July 2021. By mid-2021, he began living in Los Santos, San Andreas. He was employed by the Los Santos Waste Department as a driver and fleet manager until August 2022. According to organized crime researchers, Vincent was also employed as a laborer at Horizon Construction, a mafia-operated firm in Los Santos. According to public records, Vincent was also employed by several Martorano-connected bars and restaurants in Los Santos in 2022. As of July 2023, Vincent owns and operates the Pizza Bar, a restaurant in Paleto Bay, San Andreas. Organized crime history Organized crime researchers believe Vincent's initial involvement with the Italian-American mafia began in 2005, when he was hired by Faraday Securities Corporation. His father James Torelli reputedly used his connections to Wall Street businessmen in Algonquin, Liberty City to secure the position for Vincent. He also could've used extortionary tactics against then-executive Sylvester McCollough, who later died of natural causes in 2010. By 2021, Vincent was active in the criminal underworld of Los Santos. It is believed that during much of 2021 and early 2022, Vincent was associated with Melody Frey, a noted criminal figure and political anarchist active in southern San Andreas. It is believed that Frey was responsible for the importation and distribution of large amounts of fentanyl and cocaine via an importer with ties to the San Andreas government, and that Vincent worked as an enforcer for Frey's organized criminal ring on behalf of the Torelli crime family. By the summer of 2022, Vincent allegedly gained a connection to the locally dominant Martorano crime family, and worked primarily as a drug trafficker for the organization. He was associated to the Downtown crew, through captain John "Apples" Aparo (d. 2023). According to witness testimony, Vincent was also an associate of Rocco DiFiore (d. 2022), Ronald DiFiore (d. 2022), and Dominic Civella, the latter of which was indicted in April 2023 for racketeering and embezzlement. As of July 2023, Vincent maintains a loose connection to the mafia presence in southern San Andreas, reputedly working as a representative of the Alderney mafia. He conducts business from the Pizza Bar, a restaurant in rural Paleto Bay. References 1. ^ Black Hand Forum (needs citation) 2. ^ u/Wdstrvx (June 19, 2023).

"Auslander". Arnold Engel. Hey Arnie. "Sometime ago I came to this country, I don't even know why. Something attracted me, I still don't know what it was. But you know what? Scheiß drauf, let's have some fun with this cow!" Arnold comes from Dortmund, Germany. Retired military. Why USA? They say you can be whoever you want to be here. So, don't ask him again. Restrained, respectful, friendly and humble; But don't push him, you'll have your regrets later. He chose to live a peaceful life, somewhere out near the ocean in Paleto Bay. Why? Because he can, and nobody can stop him. "Yeah, ah, really don't know what to do--gahah I guess whatever, warum nicht?" He says as he challenges himself for a mindless staredown to a mirror after his routine beard trim. Mind him, a retired commander? He's got his habits. "Sometimes I miss ze army, but, it was fucked though. We were fucked." "I think America was made by lunatics." "I am retired from service. I've did what a man has to do; Serve his country. I am proud of it, but tired. Now I have to adapt to civilian life. It'll be fine, I can manage it. After all it's freedom, huh? I am in America. Phah, and Americans are stupid; They always break their own rules. They have so many of them, too, imagine how much they earn from their own shit?! Hah! "I like the Harley. I bought it two weeks after I moved here. I always wanted a chopper; But the only choppers you get in the army, NATO? Attack choppers. I liked those, but this? This is even better." Arnold lives his life on the edge. He's using his retirement pension from the army to settle in Los Santos, USA. Far from homeland and it's gloomy days, and all it's troubles, bad, good memories. Retired, tired, humble, and with so much to do; He's going to have to make a choice. What will he do? Who knows, even if he himself doesn't? His main goal is to just... Live. Live the way he never lived. Spending 13 years in military forces. Countless campaigns. That's a long time. Long enough to change one forever. But will he bend under that pressure? Apart from having some bad memories and a few regrets, and general "give what you get" attitude - he's doing just fine, so far. Two months in the country; He hasn't dont a ton, yet. Mostly he's just enjoying all the time he has. There are no worries around. He's now looking for a job and is considering a university degree, that he gave up on when he joined the army. "I love the bike, yes, if you ask me. Why? It's just that nice, look at it. Fucking looking good when I ride it. I love it. I wonder how good I would look on it with my old uniform?"
