Yeah, the 2006 case was basically your typical mob gambling and loansharking case. It was not nearly as big as the one a decade before, in 1996.
What you read may be the article entitled "Organized Crime in Detroit: Forgotten but not Gone." It was written by author Scott Bernstein who happens to post on another site. He can think and claim what he wants but this is the guy who's Detroit charts have showed up to nearly 60 members in Detroit, when there was only half that at most said to still be living back in 2001. You'll also notice much of that article has to deal with the past. Bottom line, we have seen consistent and ongoing mob cases involving families in New England, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Why not Detroit?
