"But what really earned (Ruth) Nordenbrook some notoriety was her philosophy that the wives of mafiosi shouldn't be immune from prosecution if they too part in crimes, with or without their husbands. It had been something of an unwritten rule that the wives were off limits to prosecutors, that their spouses would take the fall. But Nordenbrook didn't like playing by the mob rule and chafed when some of her colleagues in law enforcement wanted to. She lived up to her ideals by prosecuting Marie Attanasio, the wife of Louis "Ha Ha" Attanasio, for tax fraud in 1984, a case that ended with an acquittal. Years later she prosecuted loanshark John Zancocchio and years later went after his wife, Lana, the daughter of Anthony Graziano, getting her convicted for tax evasion".
