Looks like Graziano is in a halfway house

According to the FBP website Anthony (T.G.) Graziano is in a halfway house in Brooklyn. He was released from Prsion and transfered in August 2011. Will he take the reins in January 2012 once he is officially released?

WOW!
Again: the Class of '12.

They will have a good run as the FBI haa cut down on squads ans reduced agents. The mob will grow like Massino did in the 90's as they dissolved the Bonanno squad and the family flourished. They will re-infilltrate the unions and construction industry. It will take four years to build a case.

Yeah, the mob will always be able to get in on construction. Especially today, with all the non-union laborers that many of the smaller companies seem to be employing. Being that these companies are the easiest to shake down, the mob will continue to get paid.

As for the unions, I have to disagree. I can't see them ever getting close to a big time local ever again. Virtually every sizeable Teamsters local in the country is federally regulated today.

I was a member of Teamsters Local 813 for twenty five years, and a business agent for the last seven. I was there under Bernie Adelstein, and I was there when it finally fell apart. Now I've been out since 2006, but I keep in touch with the guys pretty much all the time. It's gotten to the point where you can't even get a job for a family member, let alone get in bed with a mob crew. My brother is a shop steward in the steamfitters union down at Rockefeller Plaza, and the same thing applies. Just last week he was telling me that he couldn't even get an entry level job for his neighbor's kid.

They're just under too much scrutiny, and the Feds will always take a dim view of union corruption. Especially today, when half the country seems to be underemployed and working without benefits.

Despite the reduced levels post-9/11, the indictments have kept on coming over the last decade. However, some officials have begun to voice concerns that the numbers are getting too low. The feds don't need as much manpower devoted against the NY mob as they did in the 1980's but they do need enough to at least keep it in check, while general attrition does the rest.

Though certainly not to the extent it once was, the mob, at least in New York/New Jersey is still very involved in construction and the unions there. Giuliani wasn't successful in instituting his regulations there like he was with garbage hauling and food markets. If you look at the indictments over the past decade, most of the mob's remaining labor racketeering activity is in construction and related industries through both mobbed-up companies and unions such as the Carpenters, Laborers, Operating Engineers, etc.

I agree with pizzaboy that the Teamsters has been largely cleaned up from mob influence, both in New York and in the rest of the country. There have only been a handful of cases involving the mob and IBT locals over the past decade. If any other area besides construction is still a problem it's the waterfront and certain NY/NJ ILA locals.

he will prob have tons of heat on him once he gets out in jan and prob will have restrictions

what about graziano's drug addiction? still powdering his nose after the sciascia hit?
