This case gets a bit forgotten because it was held about the same time as the Commission trial and the pizza connection trial.
Look at the damage this case alone caused;
Carmine persico 39 years Boss
Jerry Lang 65 Underboss
Little Allie boy 12 capo
Dom Cataldo 14 capo
Mush Russo 14 capo
Anthony Scarpati 35 capo
John Deross 14 capo
Hugh Mcintosh 10 top associate


Racketeering, bribery, extortion, gambling, drug dealing. same charges for all them. Wonder why Lang got such a big sentence compared to the others.

Only thing I know is that the bribery is from trying to get carmine some sort of prison swap. Any info on this trial? Pretty sure carmine didn't go near drugs. Cataldo definitely did

And they wrecked Frank the Beast Falanga who died, and labor official Vita Pitta, while destroying a hand full of unions the Colombos controlled.

All those guys stood up too...different generation

For sure. Each got big bids too. For most it wasn't the first bid, nor the last either.
