Count 38, the Travel Act violation relating to travel preceding the October, 1989 induction ceremony involving this defendant and Joseph Russo; and Count 39, the Travel Act violation in connection with the induction ceremony on October 29, 1989.

I’ll add from the same case. It’s clearly a crime it’s a travel act violation...not to mention at the ceremony they discussed extortion and loan sharking and he was called the boss of it all and furthered the racketeering enterprise by inducting new members. Each of those things are a crime in itself..AS IT CLEARLY STATES BELOW...



To put the Travel Act violations in context again, the defendant has pled guilty to all the charges against him. These charges include: Count 1 involving a RICO conspiracy; Count 2, the substantive RICO charge; Count 30, the Travel Act conspiracy; Count 31

All of the predicate acts and substantive offenses the defendant is personally charged with in the Superseding Indictment involve the Travel Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1952.
