ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, THE MAFIA, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM* Benjamin M. Shieber** I. INTRODUCTION The United States Constitution affects the ability of federal, state and local governments to combat criminal activity. Since the relevant constitutional provisions are in the form of broadly stated legal commands,' the constitutionality of specific law enforcement practices can only be determined when the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States, interpret these commands in cases in which they are challenged. As has long been recognized, the judicial role in the interpretation process is a creative one, for when conflicting policies compete for ac- ceptance, a court's interpretation will further one policy at the expense of another.' The court's policy preference can only be rational and respon- sible when it is based on "considerations of what is expedient for the community concerned."'3 This requires the court to know the communi- ty, determine how implementation of each competing policy would af- fect it, and choose the policy of greatest utility for that community.'

Calabrese, Sr., and James Marcello, charged with violating RICO by conspiring to conduct an enterprise’s affairs through a pattern of racke- teering activity, 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d), appealed from the Case: 09-1602 Document: 152 Filed: 05/01/2012 Pages: 48 2 Nos. 09-1265, 09-1287, 09-1376, 09-1602, 09-2093, 09-2109 denial of their motions to dismiss the indictment. The indictment charged them, along with other members of the “Chicago Outfit”—the long-running lineal descendant of Al Capone’s gang—with having conducted the Outfit’s affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity that extended from the 1960s to 2005 and included a number of murders, along with extortion, obstruction of justice, and other crimes. Calabrese and Marcello contended that the trial, which was scheduled to begin on June 19, 2007, would place them in double jeopardy, and so they moved the district court to dismiss the charges.

Zagel ) JOSEPH LOMBARDO, et al. ) GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT JOSEPH LOMBARDO’S OBJECTIONS TO THE PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION REPORT Now comes the United States of America, by and through Patrick J. Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and makes the following response to defendant Joseph Lombardo’s1 January 26, 2009, Objections to the Presentence Investigation Report [Doc. #1026]. For the reasons set forth below, Lombardo’s objections must be overruled. I. LOMBARDO’S DOUBLE JEOPARDY ARGUMENT Lombardo argues that various sentencing enhancements discussed in his November 28, 2008, Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (“PSIR”) are barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. See Doc. #1026 at 1-5, 20-24. A. Summary of Lombardo’s Double Jeopardy Argument Lombardo alleges that two prosecutions in the early 1980s bar various PSIR sentencing enhancements because the sentences in those cases were “enhanced” because of his “role in the Outfit.” See Doc. #1026 at 4-5 (arguing punishment for Outfit-related activities in the instant case is barred because “Lombardo has been twice punished based on his relevant conduct”). 1As discussed in the January 9, 2009, Probation Officer’s Supplemental Report, Lombardo’s real name is actually “Giuseppi Lombardi.” 1 Case 1:02-cr-01050 Document 1032 Filed 01/30/2009 Page 2 of 36 1981 “Pendorf Prosecution” On May 22, 1981, a Grand Jury in Chicago charged Lombardo and five co-defendants in an eleven-count indictment; the indictment alleged that the co-defendants between 1978 and 1979 conspired to bribe then-Senator Howard W.

  • UNION LOANS: MOB's HOLD on CASINOS by WALLACE
    UNION LOANS: MOB'S HOLD ON CASINOS By WALLACE TURNER Published: April 3, 1986 FACEBOOK TWITTER GOOGLE+ EMAIL SHARE PRINT REPRINTS About 10 years ago three mob bosses, Frank Balistrieri of Milwaukee, James Licavoli of Cleveland and Nick Civella of Kansas City, quarreled over the division of money they were illegally reaping from the Stardust Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. According to testimony in a recent Federal trial in Kansas City, Mo., they took their dispute for arbitration by Joseph John Aiuppa, the Mafia boss of all bosses in the Middle West. Angelo Lonardo, then Cleveland underboss who in those days was the recipient of up to $10,000 a month in illegally skimmed casino profits, testified about the incident: Q. After this resolution of the dispute between Kansas City and Milwaukee, did Chicago benefit in any manner? A. Yes, they did. Q. How was that? A. They got 25 percent of the money. It was just another routine transaction in organized crime's pervasive influence in Nevada gambling and in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, whose main pension fund served as a virtual bank for the mob. But law- enforcement officials cite its very routineness as a dramatic illustration of the ease with which they say the Mafia asserted control over the casinos and over the retirement funds of hundreds of thousands of laborers. The authorities contended for years that the teamsters were heavily corrupted, but law enforcers say that evidence assembled in recent investigations in Kansas City and elsewhere has provided a much clearer demonstration of the underlying methods of the organized crime network that fed off the teamsters' Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund.

After a lengthy FBI-led investigation code-named Operation Family Secrets, FBI and IRS agents began arresting the defendants this morning in Illinois, Arizona and Florida. One defendant was found dead, apparently of natural causes, when agents went to arrest him this morning in Hampshire, Ill. The charges allege that the defendants, including two retired local law enforcement officers, are members of, or are in some manner associated with, “The Chicago Outfit,” a criminal enterprise also known as the “Chicago Syndicate,” and the “Chicago Mob.” Eleven of the defendants were charged with conspiracy, including to commit the murders and attempted murder, to further the Outfit’s illegal activities, such as loansharking and bookmaking, and to protect the enterprise from law enforcement.

  • Defendant Nicholas Calabrese at Trial Admitted His Involvement in a Number of Outfit Murders
    Case 1:02-cr-01050 Document 932 Filed 10/15/2008 Page 1 of 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ) ) No. 02 CR 1050 v. ) ) Judge James B. Zagel FRANK CALABRESE SR., et al. ) MOTION FOR IMPOSITION OF RESTITUTION This cause comes before the Court on motion of the United States for imposition of restitution, pursuant to the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act (“MVRA”), in the above-captioned matter against defendants Frank Calabrese Sr., James Marcello, Joseph Lombardo, Paul Schiro, and Anthony Doyle.1 For the reasons discussed below, these defendants are jointly and severally liable for a total restitution amount of $3,909,166.30.2 I. INTRODUCTION Defendants Frank Calabrese Sr., James Marcello, Joseph “The Clown” Lombardo, Paul “The Indian” Schiro, and Anthony “Twan” Doyle were convicted as a result of their criminal participation in a racketeering enterprise known as the Chicago Outfit. The charged conspiracy involved, among other categories of criminal conduct, the murders of 18 individuals. See Doc. #397 at 9-10. There is little dispute that these murders were part of the conspiracy, and were committed to advance the criminal objectives of the Chicago Outfit. Id. at 8. 1Defendant Nicholas Calabrese at trial admitted his involvement in a number of Outfit murders. That testimony, however, was given pursuant to the Court’s grant of immunity. Tr. 2299-2300. Moreover, with the exception of the murder of John Fecarotta, the information provided by Nicholas Calabrese to law enforcement was at all times proffer-protected. See Tr. 2870. The government is restricting the instant restitution request to victims who were not life- long associates/members of the Chicago Outfit; the Fecarotta homicide is therefore not part of the government’s calculations, and accordingly no restitution is sought as to Nicholas Calabrese.
