DD: Do you still have an organized crime section? Is there still a traditionally Mafia as we know it?

Abbate: I would say if you look here in Detroit or nationally or you look at places like New York City, the presence of the Mafia as you refer to it or Italian organized crime is significantly diminished. I wouldn’t say it’s non-existent. But it’s not what it was years ago. It’s something we still look at and investigate. However, you know the focus today is on more, sort of non-traditional organized crime.

I wouldn’t isolate it to anyone one area, we see it coming from everywhere. Maybe without citing any specific country, the eastern European area.
