DeMichele's case is a good example. If Robert Perakis (politician / former state representative) wasn't arrested with him, the papers wouldn't have touched it.
I don't know. There seems to be a steady stream of gambling cases out of Detroit, including the ones below over the last few years. Which, by the way, I've never found any mob-ties to (though the May 2012 one seems most likely).
May 2012
http://www.macombdaily.com/article/MD/20060821/NEWS01/308219998Netties was ran by the Corrado's and Frank Bommarito with the Paniccia's. The Paniccia's helped run Uncle Mike's on Gratiot when Netties closed down, as did Uncle Mikes. Now it's Detroit Style Pizza Co. This case was 100% Detroit LCN Connected.
I've never seen that before, thanks Wiseguy/Ivy.
