I'd bet DiFronzo definitely has some friends in high places. It was weird that he wasn't named in that indictment and a lot of people have expressed that (especially that guy who's name escapes me who runs that blog on The Outfit). But like IvyLeague said, to pull those kind of strings on a federal level, dealing with the money and headline hungry Justice Department? It's possible, anything's possible, but it's not probable - my opinion
There is the possibility also which has been floated around, that he's a long time high level informant. I doubt that too but again...
Basically DiFronzo's just been careful as shit with some luck thrown into that. He's managed to stay insulated and on the street - great - but I'd give anyone on here 50/1 that he dies in jail.
There's evidence that the Outfit still has
some influence with things like cops protecting gambling operations in certain suburbs, a few friendly judges, as well as people in the local government who can steer contracts, dole out jobs, etc. But it's on a narrow, local level. Which is very different than being able to influence who federal prosecutors indict. That's not only improbable. It's impossible in this day and age. DiFronzo would have to have the entire district attorney's office in his pocket.
Both DiFronzo's and Andriacchi's day is coming.
