  • “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli, Irving Davidson, and Israel
    Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Addendum to Chapter 4 “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli, Irving Davidson, and Israel By Jonathan Marshall “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli’s international circle of business contacts and political allies extended far beyond the Caribbean. In particular, he teamed up with adventurers, criminals, lobbyists, and intelligence agents involved in creating and defending the state of Israel. Their unorthodox tactics were reminiscent of the China Lobby’s. Both groups were dedicated to saving a small and beleaguered nation by any means necessary. Like the China Lobby, this pro-Israel network illustrates the deep political nexus between organized crime, corruption, and intelligence. In the early 1950s, according to the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Zicarelli was “alleged to have been involved in the traffic of arms and munitions sold to the government of Israel.” Probably not coincidentally, the gangster was also a business partner of two leading Jewish bootleggers, Abner “Longie” Zwillman and Schenley CEO Lewis Rosenstiel.1 More than a few prominent Jewish gangsters, including Meyer Lansky, Zwillman, “Bugsy” Siegel, and Mickey Cohen, supported the Jewish underground with money and logistics help in the late 1940s.2 Zicarelli’s partner in the sale of arms and stolen securities, Steven Irwin Schwartz, had been a prominent gunrunner to Jewish armies in Palestine. Schwartz was an officer in ABCO, a New Jersey cigarette vending company controlled by Zicarelli and New York Mafia underboss Carmine Galante. “Since 1946,” the FBN report noted, “Schwartz has been engaged in the traffic of arms, a good portion of which have been obtained from Communist Bloc nations and shipped first to Israel and later to Cuba.”3 Associated with Schwartz in those ventures were Irving “Swifty” Schindler and TWA flight engineer Adolf Schwimmer.

BY JEREMY NOBILE Mirroring a national trend, Ohio’s commercial and per- sonal bankruptcy filings continued to plunge in 2015, hitting a multi-year low in response to factors in- cluding a generally stronger economy and a prolonged low-interest rate environment. But that could change this year, partic- ularly for corporate filings tied to more unstable industry sectors, like oil and gas, which many businesses in this region are exposed to. According to the American Bank- ruptcy Institute, all filings in the Unit- ed States fell 10% in the 2015 calendar year from 2014. That includes a 14% annual drop in commercial filings and 10% drop for consumers.

  • Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968
    Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 By Jonathan Marshall “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami.

    378 Obviously, the possibility cannot be dismissed, although it can hardly be said to have been established. At this point, it is, in your words, Mr. Chairman, perhaps only a little more than a "suspicion suspected," not a "fact found." The committee decided early in its investigation, as soon as it realized that a Mafia plot to assassinate the President warranted serious consideration, to assemble the most reliable information available on organized crime in the United States. The details of this phase of the committee's investigation will, of course, appear, hopefully in full, in its final report, a report that will consider the background of organized crime in America, the structure o£ the Mafia in the early 1960's, the effort by the Kennedy administration to suppress the mob, and the evidence that the assassination might have been undertaken in retaliation for those efforts. To scrutinize the possible role of organized crime in the assassi- nation, the committee early brought on one of the country's lead- ing experts on the subject. He is Ralph Salerno, whose career as an organized crime investigator with the New York City Police De- partment goes back to 1946. Mr. Salerno has since retired from the New York City Police Department and I would note that on the day of his retirement, the New York Times was moved to comment that he perhaps knew more about the Mafia than any nonmember in the United States. It would be appropriate at this time, Mr. Chairman, to call Ralph Salerno. Chairman STOKES . The committee calls Mr.

  • INVESTIGATIONS OFFICER Plaintiff, V. DOMINIC SENESE, JOSEPH TALERICO, and JAMES COZZO Defendants. OPINION of the INDEPENDENT
    INVESTIGATIONS OFFICER Plaintiff, OPINION OF THE INDEPENDENT v. ADMINISTRATOR DOMINIC SENESE, JOSEPH TALERICO, and JAMES COZZO Defendants. Charges having been filed by Charles M. Carberry, Investigations Officer, against Dominic Senese ("Senese"), Joseph Talerico ("Talerico"), and James Cozzo ("Cozzo"),' a hearing was held on March 22-23, 1990. Pre and post-hearing memoranda were received and both Senese and Talerico were represented by counsel. Cozzo made no appearance. By letter of March 9, 1990, Cozzo, Senese. and Talerico were notified that the hearing would be held in Judge Abraham Marowitz's courtroom in the United States Courthouse, 219 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois. The location of the hearing was changed on March 21, 1990, to the offices of Edward J. Calihan, Jr., attorney for Talerico. Mr. Calihan's office and the United States Courthouse are both on South Dearborn Street in Chicago. Because Cozzo was not given timely notice of the site change, the Investigations Officer, at my direction, posted a representative at Judge Marowitz's courtroom from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., on March 22, 1990, so that Cozzo could be thus advised. As the record ' A charge was also brought against Joseph Glimco, Sr., but was adjourned without date due to Mr. Glimco's medical condition. reflects, Cozzo did not appear at either Judge Marowitz's courtroom or at Mr. Calihan's office. Finding that Cozzo's absence was willful, I heard the case against him. The record includes my March 8, 1990, letter to Cozzo, which referenced and transmitted five documents relating to the charges against Cozzo and the scheduled hearing.
