correct, but why do you think that is? let me throw you a bone...

the fbi units assigned to organized crime in any given area give priority to whatever groups warrant it, be it italians, russians, hispanics, blacks ect. if the fbi in detroit is not focusing on italians, that's because there just isn't much to focus on. let's not forget, that other than the evil terrorist boogeymen that the tv tells us are under every rock and behind ebery bush, nothing gets more headlines than a bust that can be linked to the "mafia". if there was a big bust to be made in detroit, bet your ass any state or federal law enforcement agency would be right there to make it! believe dat! wink


FBI agents are assigned their cases. They don't get to pick and choose. Do you think DC is telling the local agents to spend years and millions of dollars to go after bookies or going after drug cartels and terrorists? There hasn't been a bust in Chicago in years. Maybe all the Outfit guys retired and are washing dishes for a living. Outside of the northeast the feds don't care about bookies. The government is all about justifying your budget. Try to justify spending $10 million to put some bookies in jail for 2 years. See how that flies with your bosses at the DOJ
