In response to the two posts above, techincally speaking the Detroit mob is still there but it does not have the size or presence some claim it does. As I pointed out, 15 years ago the FBI had the family at 30 made members. That's when family boss Jack Tocco and several other top guys in the family were indicted. Since then there have been two mob-related cases. One in 2006 that involved 15 members and associates and centered mainly around gambling and loansharking. And another last year that involved 2 associates and a point shaving scheme.

In terms of the modern day Detroit mob, there are probably less than 30 members now, not including associates. It is said to still control the bookmaking in the region (either directly or indirectly through taxing unaffliated bookies) and gets a share of loansharking and high stakes card games in the city. And there are still some interests in legitimate businesses. But that's pretty much it. There isn't really any significant involvement in narcotics or labor racketeering at this point. It's a relatively small family at this point and is rather tight-knit, with many members being related by blood.

I should also point out that the Middle Eastern bookies in the city, mostly Chaldeans, work with or for the Italian mob and have done so for a very long time.
