Right, and that could be some workload spill over for the feds too. They only have two squads for the 5 fams now, but back in 2011 when they cut it from 5 squads to 3, they merged the Bonanno and Colombo squad, and the Lucchese squad with Eastern Organized Crime.
Since Zolotta was Lucchese associate might be why they were. The Gambino/Lucchese squad might be too tied up. Just a theory.
