Defendants Vincent Basciano (“Basciano”) and Anthony Indelicato (“Indelicato”) have moved this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 455(a)(1) to disqualify itself in the above-captioned cases. Specifically, they claim that an alleged death threat made by Basciano against this court has created the appearance of partiality requiring this court’s recusal. Defendant Michael Mancuso (“Mancuso”) has joined in those motions. I. BACKGROUND On August 14, 2003, a grand jury in the Eastern District of New York indicted Basciano on racketeering-related charges stemming from his alleged involvement in the Bonanno crime family. He proceeded to trial, and, in May of 2006, a jury convicted him of racketeering conspiracy and failed to reach a verdict on the remaining racketeering acts. On February 15, 2006, Basciano, Mancuso, Indelicato, Anthony Aiello (“Aiello”), Anthony Donato (“Donato”) and Vincenzo Masi (“Masi”) were charged in a separate indictment with additional racketeering-related crimes. Both cases are currently before this court. Just before or soon after his trial ended, in or about April or May of 2006, Basciano wrote 1 Case 1:03-cr-00929-NGG Document 651 Filed 11/30/06 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: <pageID> a list containing the names of the court, the lead prosecutor, and three cooperating witnesses involved in his trial (“May 2006 list”), and provided the May 2006 list to a fellow inmate.

    Polizia di Stato Trapani: Operazione ?Ruìna? Blitz della Polizia di Stato a Trapani e provincia, dove gli uomini del Servizio Centrale Operativo, delle Squadre Mobili delle Questure di Trapani e Palermo, hanno eseguito 13 fermi di indiziato di delitto, disposti dalla Direzione Distrettuale Antimafia di Palermo, nei confronti di altrettanti indagati, di cui alcuni vicini al boss latitante Matteo Messina Denaro, accusati, a vario titolo, di associazione mafiosa, estorsione, incendio, furto, favoreggiamento personale e corruzione elettorale, aggravati dal metodo mafioso o comunque per essere stati finalizzati a favorire Cosa Nostra.Le indagini, sviluppatesi mediante l&rsquo;utilizzo delle più recenti e sofisticate tecnologie, hanno permesso di ricostruire una fitta rete di affiliati e fiancheggiatori della compagine mafiosa facente parte del mandamento alcamese, operante principalmente nel comune di Calatafimi &ndash; Segesta, nota località di interesse storico e termale.Personaggio centrale, al vertice capo della locale famiglia mafiosa, Nicolò Pidone, già condannato per 416 bis nell&rsquo;ambito dell&rsquo;indagine denominata Crimiso, che nel 2012 aveva portato all&rsquo;arresto di altrettanti affiliati appartenenti anche alle famiglie di Castellammare del Golfo e di Alcamo.A lui facevano riferimento gli odierni fermati, che riceveva riservatamente all&rsquo;interno di una fatiscente dependance attigua alla sua masseria.In quel contesto venivano assunte le principali decisioni riguardanti gli accadimenti ritenuti rilevanti per Cosa Nostra, monitorate le dinamiche criminali del contesto territoriale di riferimento e risolti i dissidi nascenti all&rsquo;interno della stessa comunità rurale.A dimostrazione dello spessore del referente della famiglia mafiosa locale, è stato progressivamente accertato che egli fosse diventato interlocutore privilegiato di soggetti e personaggi provenienti da altri contesti territoriali, gestiti da altre famiglie mafiose.

In 1910, 41% of its residents had been born outside America. While Germans and Irish were the largest immigrant groups in the 1800s, Jews and Italians were the largest groups by the early 1900s. “Within the brief span of less than a generation the ethnic composition of the metropolis altered radically,” explains demographer Ira Rosenwaike. “[P]ersons of Jewish and Italian background had become numerically superior to those of Irish and German descent.”58 Table 2–1 Demographic Trends in New York City, 1890–1940, ~ Total Numbers and Percentages of New York City Population59 Census Irish Jewish Italian Black NYC Total Year Population 1890 624,000 (26%) 175,000 (7%) 67,000 (2%) 35,000 (<2%) 2,321,000 1900 710,000 (20%) 510,000 (14%) 216,000 (6%) 60,000 (<2%) 3,437,000 1910 676,000 (14%) 1,050,000 (22%) 544,000 (11%) 91,000 (<2%) 4,766,000 1920 616,000 (10%) 1,600,000 (28%) 802,000 (14%) 152,000 (2%) 5,620,000 1930 613,000 (8%) 1,800,000 (25%) 1,070,000 (15%) 327,000 (4%) 6,930,000 1940 518,000 (6%) 1,785,000 (23%) 1,785,000 (23%) 458,000 (6%) 7,454,000 In Chapter Three: The Racketeer Cometh, we will see how these demographic trends bolstered the Mafia’s labor racketeering.

Defendants Vincent Basciano (“Basciano”) and Patrick DeFilippo (“DeFilippo”) (collectively “Defendants”) have moved this court to grant either an acquittal pursuant to Rule 29 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or a new trial under Rule 33. Defendants make their challenges on four grounds. First, Defendants contest the jury’s findings with respect to count one of the indictment, which charged a RICO conspiracy. Defendants claim that there was insufficient proof of three of the eight racketeering acts – racketeering acts three, seven, and eleven. (See Memorandum of Law in Support of Vincent Basciano’s Post-Trial Motions (“Basciano Mem.”) at 15-26 (challenging racketeering acts three, seven, and eleven); Post-Trial Memorandum of Law in Support of DeFilippo’s Motions (“DeFilippo Mem.”) at 4-6 (challenging racketeering act three).) Second, Basciano claims that the court’s charge to the jury on the concept of relatedness pertaining to Racketeering Conspiracy was improper. (Basciano Mem. at 35-37.) Third, Basciano contends that venue was not established by a preponderance of the evidence with respect to count two, which charged ownership and supervision of a gambling 1 Case 1:03-cr-00929-NGG Document 660 Filed 12/21/06 Page 2 of 20 PageID #: <pageID> business involving joker-poker machines.

Attaccano manifesti listati a lutto per incitare i siciliani a non pagare più l’odiosa "tassa della mafia". Sono una quarantina, tutti sotto i trent’anni. E iniziano a scuotere le coscienze. Come la banda di Robin Hood, anonimi e notturni si muovono senza lasciare tracce: sono i "bravi ragazzi antiracket" di Palermo. Di notte attaccano manifesti esplosivi che scuotono le coscienze: "Un intero popolo che paga il pizzo è un popolo senza dignità". Coraggiosi ed elettronici, non rispondono mai ai cellulari, ma guardano il display e richiamano solo se il numero è di un amico fidato, circospetti perfino negli indirizzi e-mail (pppsss,[email protected]), danno appuntamenti alle fermate dei bus. Uno dei manifesti affissi dai "ragazzi antiracket" davanti a un negozio nel centro di Palermo. I carbonari e i partigiani hanno fatto l’Italia e la democrazia, loro vogliono fare la Sicilia senza pizzo. Senza il pedaggio che ogni esercizio commerciale che fa un buon fatturato, se non è amico degli amici, deve versare alla mafia per evitare danni alle attività o ai propri familiari. In Sicilia e a Palermo paga circa il 70 per cento di commercianti e imprenditori (dati della Confesercenti e della Procura della Repubblica). Pagano poco, ma pagano quasi tutti e nel silenzio generale. E i "ragazzi", che sono ormai una quarantina, tutti sotto i trent’anni, alcuni laureati – due sono medici –, hanno deciso di mobilitarsi.

    Senato della Repubblica - 241 - Camera dei deputati XIV LEGISLATURA - DISEGNI DI LEGGE E RELAZIONI - DOCUMENTI - un fronte compatto, per quest'ultimo profilo, contro il problema del 41-bis sostenuto da detenuti esponenti della criminalità organizzata so- stanziatosi in scambi di informazioni, comunità di intenti e di atteggia- menti, per protestare vibratamente contro le rigide prescrizioni normative subite all'interno delle strutture carcerarie. Tali ultime considerazioni si fondano anche sulla lettura delle dichiarazioni rese dal boss Luigi Giu- liano, capo storico della camorra, ritenuto uno dei promotori del cartello criminale denominato «Nuova Famiglia», al punto tale che, per attuare il loro progetto di sostanziale abolizione del 41-bis, i detenuti avrebbero mandato messaggi e direttive all'esterno per imporre tregue e per fare in modo che guerre di mafia non intralciassero la realizzazione in concreto del progetto. Gli atteggiamenti sostenuti prima da esponenti dell'ala moderata, in ossequio alla strategia di «moderazione ed inabissamento» che, da diverso tempo, sembra ispirare la vita di «Cosa nostra» e successivamente quelli riferibili a Leoluca Bagarella, esponente massimo dell'ala stragista, pos- sono sostanzialmente configurarsi come due distinti percorsi per ottenere l'attenuazione del regime previsto dall'articolo 41-bis dell'ord. pen.. Tali iniziative venivano intraprese mentre erano in corso forti dibattiti nella politica e nel parlamento sul mantenimento o meno del regime de- tentivo carcerario sfociato nell'attuale formulazione dell'articolo 4l-bis dell'ord. pen. Non si deve dimenticare che la «petizione di Bagarella» viene fatta in occasione di un processo celebrato proprio a Trapani e non si può non considerare che questi disponeva di pericolosissimi «gruppi di fuoco» su quel versante disposti a commettere qualsiasi delitto per suo conto.

    La Deliberazione Della Campagna Stragista

    Le stragi del ‘93 I processi La sentenza di 1° grado LA DELIBERAZIONE DELLA CAMPAGNA STRAGISTA L’ultimo (e fondamentale) atto della vicenda criminale portata all’attenzione di questa Corte è nota per le dichiarazioni di vari collaboratori, di diverso peso e collocazione, ma concordi nell’indicare in un gruppo di “corleonesi” (gli stessi che sono stati protagonisti delle vicende narrate nei paragrafi precedenti) gli autori della risoluzione criminosa che portò alle stragi del 1993-94. Tra questi collaboratori vi sono 6 imputati di questo processo (Brusca, Ferro Giuseppe, Ferro Vincenzo, Scarano, Grigoli, Romeo) e 16 imputati in procedimenti connessi. Tutti, tranne Scarano, sono siciliani, ma appartenenti a diverse aree geografiche dell’isola (sono delle provincie di Palermo, Catania e Trapani). Ovviamente, non tutti si sono rivelati informati alla stessa maniera, giacché la diversa posizione nell’organizzazione, la maggiore o minore vicinanza ai capi, il diverso grado di coinvolgimento nelle vicende che ci occupano fanno si che quasi tutti, a parte Brusca e Sinacori, conoscano solo una parte dell’accaduto. Il contributo di quelli meno informati è, tuttavia, ugualmente prezioso per comprendere le dinamiche che portarono all’ideazione e alla risoluzione delle stragi, sia perché consente di far luce su aspetti parziali della vicenda, sia perché consente di valutare le dichiarazioni dei due collaboratori principali. Seguendo lo schema consueto, verrà prima fatto il quadro delle dichiarazioni rese dai collaboratori sull’argomento; poi si passerà alla loro valutazione. Questo capitolo si comporrà, quindi, di due parti Le dichiarazioni rese dagli imputati e dagli imputati ex art. 210 cpp. Brusca Giovanni (Entrato in cosa nostra negli anni ’70 – Arrestato il 20-5-96 – Collaborante dal luglio del 1996).

Anthony Indelicato's wife is Catherine Burke, a daughter of Lucchese crime family associate Jimmy Burke. Galante murder [ edit | edit source ] In 1979, Anthony Indelicato participated in the murder of Bonanno boss Carmine Galante. With the official Bonanno boss Philip Rastelli in prison, Galante had taken effective control of the family in the early 1970s. His ruthlessness and ambition created many enemies within the Bonanno family and in the other New York families. Galante refused to share any of the profits that he made from heroin trafficking. The Mafia Commission finally allowed several Bonanno capos to plot Galante's assassination. On July 12, 1979, Galante entered the "Joe and Mary Italian-American Restaurant" in Bushwick, Brooklyn for lunch. Later that afternoon, Indelicato and three other men drove up to and entered Joe and Mary's, wearing ski masks. The gunmen murdered Galante at his table as he was eating lunch in the rear outdoor garden of the restaurant; the New York Post headline read: "Godfather Blown Away Alfresco in Brooklyn".
