Not sure what ever became of that case though.

In February 2012 you had that leaked law enforcement report that detailed Merlino’s activities and associates in Florida that was pretty interesting.

In December 2012 you had the DiPietro murder and subsequent indictment of Anthony Nicodemo.

In October 2013, Anthony Gifoli, Frank Tulino, Vincent Simoni (who had been involved in a 1988 LCN-connected gambling bust), and James Matteis, were indicted in Philadelphia on charges of conducting an illegal gambling businesses involving a sports bookmaking operation.

In December 2013 and May 2014 you had the cases related to Ronald Galati.

More recently you had the news about some members getting into the construction, real estate, etc business.


There were also these gambling cases, though I'm not sure of an LCN connection -

In April 2011, 8 people including Christopher Naso, Timothy Lepore, and Frank Formando were indicted in Bucks County, PA on charges of running a sports bookmaking operation that handled over $1 million a year.

In January 2014, Leonard Stango was indicted in Philadelphia on charges of structuring financial transactions and filing false tax returns involving $5 million in profits from a sports bookmaking operation.

In April 2014, Frank Medure Sr. and Frank Medure Jr. (DiCarlo Amusements, Medure ATM Service Providers) were indicted in Lawrence County, PA on charges of corruption organizations and dealing with proceeds of unlawful activity involving 74 video poker machines in 35 local bars and clubs.

In March 2015, Ralph "Sharkey" Sabatini, Valerio "Val" Ungarini, and Robert Molnar Jr. were indicted in Bucks County, PA on charges of corrupt organization, dealing in unlawful proceeds, criminal use of a facility, and engaging in bookmaking involving a sports bookmaking operation.

In May 2015, it was reported that Jacob Corropolse had pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns involving his sports bookmaking business which took in $500,000 in proceeds from bettors in 2010 and 2011.


Ivy the two bucks county cases you refer to I dont believe are LCn connected..I know you qualified your info which is always spot on but I went to law school with one of the bucks county da's and I live around there..ran into him recently and asked about the Sabatini case he claimed they had no knowledge of a mafia connection..not sure about the other one but from what I read no blatant lcn connection
