The RICO law was designed to go after mob bosses that were not able to be charged with murder or as intellectual authors of a murder because they were not the ones executing the plan. This law also allowed prosecutors to go after mobsters for crimes such as drug trafficking, extortion, labor racketeering, and other crimes that would usually be under the control of the mafia. In this article, the RICO law will be analyzed. This article will determine whether the RICO law has been a success and if it has fulfilled its purpose after its implementation. 8 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL OF FAU SPRING 2021 I EDITION X After years of sending mob leaders to jail for reasons that may not have been the ones authorities wanted to charge them with, in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act was implemented on a federal level. 1 The RICO law was designed to go after mob bosses that were not able to be charged with murder or as intellectual authors of a murder because they were not the ones executing the plan.

  • The New Mafia Is Wising up and Keeping Quiet
    10/16/2018 The new Mafia is wising up and keeping quiet METRO The new Mafia is wising up and keeping quiet By Brad Hamilton September 29, 2018 | 11:03pm | Updated Frank Cali, Joseph Cammarano Jr., Carmine Persico and Steven Crea Meet the new mob — same as the old mob. Thirty-three years after John Gotti carried out his audacious hit on crime boss Paul Castellano, which flouted Mafia rules and brought a wave of devastating prosecutions under the Dapper Don’s brash reign, New York’s five crime families have reverted to their old-guard ways. They’re keeping quiet. No more press conferences or TV appearances. No more weekly meetings with capos at favorite restaurants or social clubs. No more shootouts between warring factions. No more wire rooms for taking wagers. Instead, gangsters try to keep their heads down and earn as they’ve done for decades, with drug dealing, loan-sharking, running strip clubs and protection rackets and skimming from union construction jobs, cops and prosecutors say. Bookmaking is still a lively trade, but most of it is done online using offshore accounts, not at smoke-filled gambling dens. Crimefighters say the new old way is aimed at avoiding police scrutiny and preventing turncoats from selling out their fellow wiseguys. https://nypost.com/2018/09/29/the-new-mafia-is-wising-up-and-keeping-quiet/ 1/4 10/16/2018 The new Mafia is wising up and keeping quiet “Everybody’s a rat,” said an ex-NYPD detective who continues to track mob business. “You can’t trust anybody anymore.” Lieutenants and soldiers avoid gathering in groups so as to be less vulnerable to the wiretap or surveillance photo.

  • Anthony Corallo, Mob Boss, Dies in Federal Prison at 87 - the New York Times
    8/27/2019 Anthony Corallo, Mob Boss, Dies in Federal Prison at 87 - The New York Times Anthony Corallo, Mob Boss, Dies in Federal Prison at 87 By Alan Feuer Sept. 1, 2000 See the article in its original context from September 1, 2000, Section A, Page 25 Buy Reprints VIEW ON TIMESMACHINE TimesMachine is an exclusive benefit for home delivery and digital subscribers. Anthony Corallo, the salty and stoical former boss of the Lucchese crime family who went to jail for life after the authorities overheard him chatting to his driver about the mob's control of New York City's construction industry, died Aug. 23 in a federal prison hospital in Springfield, Mo. He was 87. Mr. Corallo, who was serving a 100-year sentence, was said to be the oldest living gangster to have risen from one of the city's five organized crime families. He was a sitting member of the Mafia politburo, known as the commission, when he was arrested in 1985. A year later, he was found guilty on federal racketeering charges at what came to be known as the commission trial -- a 10-week smorgasbord of gangland lore that resulted in the conviction of the city's top crime leaders. It also paved the way for a new era of crime leader, a more rough-and-tumble crew of underlings, like John Gotti, who dressed in a flashy way and seemed to bask in the limelight. Mr. Corallo, known to mobsters and federal agents alike as Tony Ducks -- because of his knack for ducking subpoenas and convictions -- was widely regarded as an old-time don, a crusty but gentle son of La Cosa Nostra, who believed in honor, staked his reputation on his word, adored his family and considered loose lips a treachery worse than murder.
