Paul Castellano and John Gotti were both in the Gambino Family. Paul loved construction and appointed Salvatore Gravano as his point man in the union, where they rifled through the pension fund and stole equipment and other items. He even set up fake companies to steal items in a wholesale way. Its more then 70% that Mr Zito and Mr Abitable are connected. They could be Soldiers involved in payoffs or could have links with corrupt labour leaders in construction. After all, a Sicilian "Zip" called Francesco Cali was recently arrested. He was a Gambino Capo with his hands in construction. The Gambino are still rolling in it.
Mr Zito owns a contruction company... Would that mean he is a Soldiers or just connected...
Branching off from the poster above, do you believe that there still is a large mafia presence on Long Island as there was in years past, where do most of the mobsters of today live? And when did they lose control over Little Italy in Manhattan or is there still a presence there today?
The Italians do business with the Hells Angels and the Hells Kitchen Irish. They were even involved with Nicky Barnes and Frank Lucas, the Black Mafia.
I doubt there is any irish gang presence in Hells Kitchen unless you count the wanna-be gangsta trustafarians who probably have some partial irish descent
But Barnes and Lucas was a long time ago, what about now
there are many new street gangs of black, and hispanic groups
Hey,, did the Mafia lost controlled of Las Vegas to big corp.?? or they still have some power???
The big corporations took over Vegas, people like Bransons Virgin and Hefners Playboy. The Mob are still in Vegas, making some money, but less then $1million a year. Charles Panarella was a Capo there overseeing bookmaking, loansharking and theft.

I'm not sure about Long Island, but the Mob today live in New York and in surrounding areas, such as Gambino Acting Boss, Arnold Squitieri, he lived in New Jersey. The Bonannos still have a part of Little Italy, but the Albanians have slowly took over.
