You can think whatever you want but there's zero proof that Detroit has little to any involvement in the drug trade. When was the last time there was any kind of mob-related drug bust there, much less a significant one? Somebody mentioned Vito Parisi being busted for marijuana earlier this year but that's one guy and he was an associate of turncoat Nove Tocco. So we can't assume it really was even mob connected. What's left of the Detroit mob is primarily bookies and loansharks in the city's east suburbs. From what I can tell by looking at the available evidence, they want nothing to do with the city's drug trade, which is run by Mexican DTO's and black street gangs.



I'm sure any mobster is happy to not be in the spotlight but there's a reason why the ones left in Detroit are not a big priority for law enforcement.



The DiMora case hardly shows there is still a formally structured, viable mob family in Cleveland. The mob connections in the case were scarce and peripheral at best. The number of actual made guys in Cleveland is below 10 at this point and the FBI hasn't included Cleveland among the remaining families it still recognizes in years.




They would never crank up Detroit investigations to that level because there is no need to. The reason there aren't many mob busts there now is precisely because there isn't much left of the mob in Detroit, relatively speaking.
