No doubt about that. Roti (and his relatives,) Libonati, and a host of others in Chicago...New York, and a host of other cities as well, had many "sleepers" for lack of a better word, who were either dyed-in-the-wool mafiosi, or top crew associates, masquerading as politicians and legit businessmen, etc., but were actually "tools" of the underworld.

It was a very corrupt (but extraordinarily interesting) dynamic.
