I posted this a while back on Steven Seagal, here it is again.
------------------------------------------------
Steven Seagal cited in arrest of mafia members 5:20am Wednesday, 05th June 2002
Seventeen alleged members and associates of the Gambino crime family have been arrested.
The 68-count federal indictment includes charges of extortion, money laundering and witness tampering.
Among the alleged crimes was an attempt to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars "from an individual in the film industry".
One of the defendants, Julius Nasso, and others allegedly demanded $150,000 for every film the victim made, the letter says.
Nasso is a former business partner of Steven Seagal, who he sued earlier this year for $60 million for backing out of a film contract.
Prosecutors say a Gambino captain and Nasso, 49, were caught on tape allegedly plotting the shakedown of Seagal.
The captain instructed Nasso to demand the actor pay the family $150,000 for each film he made.
Nasso pleaded innocent to extortion and was released on $1.5 million bond.
One of the other accused is Peter Gotti, brother of "Teflon Don" John Gotti, who is reportedly the acting head of the Gambino family following the imprisonment of other family members.
Peter Gotti, 62, Richard V Gotti, 59, and Richard G Gotti, 34, all pleaded innocent to racketeering. The alleged boss was ordered held without bail; the younger men were released on $300,000 bond each.
So die all who betray Giuliano

An old guy,(not current) George Raft, had been rumored to be real tight w/ the mob, but I don't know if he was made. See some of his movies, he's a real slick gangster type.

Originally posted by BronxKing: An old guy,(not current) George Raft, had been rumored to be real tight w/ the mob, but I don't know if he was made. See some of his movies, he's a real slick gangster type. True, BK! Raft was a driver for the NY mobs in the '20's. Not a made guy, but he got around. He told a story about having held a gun for Dutch Schultz in a restaurant as Schultz was about to be arrested. Saved Schultz from a concealed weapons charge, but said he never got a thank-you. He was a big pal of Bugsy Siegel's. A photo that's always shown in books that mention Siegel is of the two of them in Hollywood, practically rubbing each other down with margerine, they're so happy to be together. Another story about Raft: He was the official greeter at the Capri Hotel in Havana (depicted in GFII as the hotel Michael was staying at). After Batista fled, mobs of Cubans sacked the casinos. Raft allegedly stood at the door of the Capri, crossed his arms and shouted at them, "Over my dead body!" It worked--they moved on! They must have watched lots of gangster movies!
