Acting family boss Anthony Urso and acting underboss Joseph Cammarano were among those picked up in the early morning raids and charged with murder and racketeering conspiracy. Federal prosecutors unsealed a 20-count indictment that charged 27 members and associates of the Bonanno family, including eight present or former "capos." "Today's indictment caps a year-long series of indictments that represent the broadest and deepest prosecution ever of a New York City-based organised crime family," said US Attorney Roslynn Mauskopf. "The entire leadership, acting leadership and virtually every criminal leader in the Bonanno family stands either convicted or under indictment," Mauskopf said. Since March 2002, more than 70 members and associates of the Bonanno family have been prosecuted. Mauskopf said the investigation had been aided by the unprecedented agreement of a "made member" of the family to wear a wire during conversations with his associates. "We had front row seats, listening as these career criminals described murdering innocent victims in a desperate effort to salvage their crumbling criminal enterprise," she said. The indictment unsealed yesterday charges 18 defendants with 15 murders and murder conspiracies. Among those arrested was Bonanno family soldier Vito Rizzuto, referred to by Canadian law enforcement as the "godfather of the Italian mafia in Montreal." Rizzuto has been charged with multiple murders and Mauskopf said his extradition would be sought from Canada. In January last year, a grand jury indicted Bonanno family boss Joseph Massino and his underboss Salvatore Vitale on various racketeering charges. Those charges have been expanded to include eight murders, murder conspiracies and attempted murders. Pasquale D'Amuro, assistant director of the FBI's New York office, said the four-year long investigation of the Bonanno family had resulted in the almost total breakdown of the mafia code of silence, or "omerta," with many family members agreeing to work with law enforcement agents. "Instead of beating people up, they are beating down our doors in an effort to cooperate," D'Amuro said. -__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __ /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/ SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net ######## CAUTION! ######### Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories, comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collected by Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy News for OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly to journalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for their story writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.
