Mob Convictions

  • Monday's stunning guilty verdicts lowered the boom on the Chicago Outfit. But as CBS 2's John Bulldog Drummond explains for four of the defendants, the nightmare is just beginning.

    Uncle Sam hasn't tolled a ten-count over the mob yet, but the Chicago Outfit is on the floor after all five defendants were found guilty.

    A federal jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict Monday in the mob trial of five men on charges involving decades of extortion, gambling, loan sharking and 18 long-unsolved murders.
Drummond's been covering this long enough that he probably had to wonder if he'd ever live to see an actual conviction. Now he's seen five. Tribune and Sun Times coverage at the links.

When and what unit did Anthony (Twan) Doyle work in? When did he retire?

None of the old timers in my unit can recall him.

The mob is dead nationwide. Just a handful of old paisans in social clubs waiting for these indictments to come down hoping they don't die in prison.

Why we still even direct manpower to this when the blacks and hispanics run organized crime in Chicago is beyond me.

I'd be way more impressed if the G took on the GDs but thats too mush to hope for. The FBI only goes after HEADLINE grabbing cases.

Out of the 5, only 3 were halfassed noteworthy. Lombardo has been almost disconnected since he got out in the mid 90's, Marcello just got out of jail, and Frank Calabrese was still in jail. All these dudes were in Milan Mi. at the same time. Co-incidence? There are so many more unanswered questions. The Outfit still thrives in this town. Where there's money to be made, they're there. $20 million a year, Cook County, easy......

In NYC the District Attorney's Office is constantly indicting and trying Ogranized Crime scum.

But in Chicago the Outfit and the Daley Crime family (Democrat party) are so intertwined, Devine deosn't do a damn thing. He should be ashamed.
