Dear Bill,

Recently I have talked to David Lawrence and James Castadoro both are members of LIUNA and are close associates of the Manderini's. They are currently working for a demolition contractor in the Boston area as foreman and both have told me that the Manderinis allow non-union employees to work along LIUNA members for their employer, (Lou Pantelone an associate of LCN member Vincent Ferrara.) Lawrence is related to an LCN member from Chelsea (UK) and procured a union book and job for Castadoro. The union steward is a relative of the Manderini's and is also the steward on another project (two-paychecks). I have not asked them too many questions because of possible discovery but I could find out more, especially details. I have also learned that Cuyahoga Wrecking is working union-non union in this area with Manderini approval. If there is interest in the Massachusetts district council and the Boston locals, I could (without exposure) find out numerous areas of labor racketeering, fiduciary and ethical violations.

The nice thing about the investigation of demolition projects is that there is a paper trail that is easily followed and worker records are readily available without having to go thru subpoenas or requests.

Almost every demolition project that is bid today has environmental cleanup rules and requirements that must be complied with including personnel records. When I informed Cleveland agent Jerry Personen and AUSA Ann Rowlands of this, they were shocked on how quickly they were able to utilize this against Chester Liberatore. In Gary, Indiana SA Tom Ganczarz, also found this approach to be highly successful.

If we have an investigator that needs assistance with an area, this approach will prove to be quite fruitful because each and every LCN controlled local is currently continuing this practice and unknowingly leaving themselves exposed to scrutiny.

Bill, let me know if you and Doug want to review this approach because I can easily explain how to incorporate this concept.

Respectfully,

RE: Pagano's

Dear Doug,

I first became involved with the Pagano's in 1971, when I was introduced to Joseph Pagano at the Concord Hotel in Kiamisha Lake New York. Joe invited me to a golf outing but Victor Randaccio told me not to go and stay away from him. Within months of our meeting Joe Pagano was gunned down in New York city.

After being elected as the business manager of 210 in 1973, I was introduced to Mike Pagano who was an assistant to Mike Lorello. According to Lorello Mike Pagano was to be his successor and this disclosure was confirmed by John Riggi at a latter date.

Mike's brother, Tony, was the then business manager of local (129?) and both brothers were associates of Gaspar Lupo and the Genovese family. (At that time I was not aware of James Messera.) Tony Pagano died from a heart attack around 1977.

From the 1970's to 1989, a long standing feud has existed between the Paganos and the Giordianas (Gambino family)(Local 23) regarding geographic jurisdiction. Because of this there has been a lot of discussion between LCN members, (many I have overheard) and the two LCN families were never able to resolve the differences.

Thru the years I have had numerous conversations with Mike Lorello, Sam Caivano, Tony Sr., over these differences, the LCN, how we had to answer to the LCN.

I have met with Tony Jr., on a number of occasions from the middle 80's to 1988 (Mostly at conventions). Our conversations dealt mostly with the Lou Giardiana problem, but we did discuss the establishment of a State wide training fund. He asked me if it had been approved by the LCN, why wasn't Lorello acting on it. I told him he was but you know Mike and his procrastinating.

Immediately after the death of Mike Lorello, I talked with Tony Pagano Sr., about the filling of the vacancy and how the LCN will decide who will fill the position.

When Carl Mastykarz introduced me to Lou Casiciano in the summer of 1988, we not only discussed the all the Pagano's and how they were controlled by the Genovese's, but how they were getting into the hazardous waste business with Jim Messera.

Tony's other son, (I cannot recall the name at this time but I have in my records) started an asbestos removal business and Messera had put up $100,000.00 to fund the company but the younger Pagano was spending the money on clothing instead of the company. Casciano told me to help the fledging company by joint venturing with them on some jobs. I met with the younger Pagano on 3 occasions where we discussed the LCN, how his relatives and the Mason Tenders and Gaspar Lupo will take care of everything.

Around November of 1988, Casciano told me that Gaspar did not want me to help the younger Pagano, and that Jimmy (at that time I did not know his last name was Messera) was going to write him off.

While walking down 42nd street on my way to a meeting with Lou Casciano, Soussi and Richard Kelly, by accident I bumped into Tony Pagano Sr., near his office. He asked me if I could chat for a couple of minutes at a nearby restaurant. He wondered why I was not staying in touch with his son and what was wrong. I told him that Gaspar told me to stay away for now because of possible federal investigations. He told me that he was going to talk to somebody about that and straighten it out.

In my discussions with John Riggi, we discussed the Pagano's and how they were controlled and in my recorded discussions with Lou Casciano and Carl Mastykarz we talked about all the Pagano’s and how they answer to the Genoveses.

In 1995, upon learning from Manvin Mayell, that the original recordings were either lost or misplaced, I had the Atlantic City RA copy mine and send a set to Mayell. I still have my copies and even though I do not have a transcript, they do cover this topic as well as the Giardinas and New Jersey. They are quite noisy but can be understood.

Re: Doreen Masterson

Dear Doug,

Doreen was and may still be employed as a vice president for Fallon Associates ( real estate) located at 70 Atwood Ave. in Providence R.I. In the late eighties she was the sales representative for the sale of properties owned by Barbara Patricia, the wife of Raymond Jr. The 82 Corp., was in reality a property development company financed by Raymond Jr., Arnold Kilberg and Arthur Coia Jr. Coia Jr., Arnold Kilberg Carl and Joseph Kerkorian arranged for the financing. A questionable sale took place in 1988 regarding a development known as Kendall Estates.

Doreen, is the mother of two Patricia children and the messenger for the incarcerated Patricia and the outside world including Coia Jr., and an employer known as Lou who utilizes laborers on demolition projects in Massachusetts. His last name may be something like Panone, I believe?

I believe I can find out much more about the real estate operations and the link to the travel company after I complete my Buffalo testimony.

RE: Ray Pocino

Dear Doug,

Recently Ray Pocino entered into a lease arrangement with Matrix Development Corp. of Cranbury New Jersey. 3600 sq. ft. of office space at 104 Interchange Plaza in Cranbury has been set aside. The space will be shared with the New Jersey Employers Cooperation and Education Trust, N.J. Laborer's Health and Safety Trust and the N.J. Laborers Political Action Committee.

Matrix Development Corp. is quite large and owns vast parcels of property in the Philadelphia area. This may be purely coincidence but Matrix has LCN connections with Philly and New York City.

Ron Jowarski, the ex-Philadelphia Eagle quarter back is an associate and friend of Brian (LNU) a Matrix rep and Ron's brother Billy has been a close associate of Joe Cardinale and is an old Scarfo friend.

I am quite sure that Phil Leonetti would have more knowledge.

Let me know if you want me to follow up on this.

New York - New Jersey Training Funds and the Upstate New York District Council

History:

The concept of state wide training funds arose around early 1985. Victor Sansanese and Joe Todaro Jr. witnessed the regional training programs conducted in other areas including the New England Training fund under James Merloni, and the southern California training fund directed by Robert Harris. Realizing that numerous jobs could be created at the training center and the influx of additional funds they approached me and asked how to go about establishing a State wide program with Victor Sansanese as its Director.

1. At that time the only training programs that existed in New York State were in Buffalo, Albany, Local 17 in Poughkeepsie, and at Local 66 in Long Island.

2. Approval would be necessary from the International Union and they would have to direct local unions to participate.

3. The five New York city families would have to be pacified and approve it. ( I was quite sure this was going to be the stumbling block.)

4. A trust agreement would have to be drafted and the trustees for the many different trusts would have to sign participation agreements. (Dick Lipsitz did in fact draft a state training fund trust agreement.)

5. Transportation and boarding would have to be made available for the union members when they attended programs at the training site.

After pointing all this out as well as many additional problems that would have to be over come including locals not wanting to come on board and its ramifications. I was told to start the wheels turning and contact Arthur Coia Senior and let him know that we (Vic Sansanese and Joe Todaro Jr.,) told you to talk to him.

I started talking to Jim Merloni and Coia Sr., about how to go about it. While I was doing this Joe Todaro Jr., and Victor Sansanese some how got the New York City families to go along with the concept. I cannot recall who told me about the approval it probably was Vic Sansanese and Joe Todaro Jr., but it very well may have been Arthur Coia Sr., or Mike Lorello. I do remember being told that the concept was approved and that I was to help John Riggi set up a state wide program for his son. (remind me about this because it also involved Richard Tesesserie and Ray Pocino.)

1. The State Fund would be headed by Victor Sansanese, (I cannot remember but he was going to have to bring on some N.Y.C. people.).

2. The fund's main office would be located somewhere between Buffalo and Rochester N.Y.

3. The Albany fund would remain in tact and would be utilized by the state fund for that region.

4. A site was to be established in Westchester N.Y, or on Long Island. (no mention of Local 66 at that time)

5. Coia Sr., Mike Lorello and me were supposed to make this a reality as far as the International was concerned.

Together with Dick Lipsitz, we prepared the Fund documents and participation documents. A problem arose with Mike Lorello in that he kept procrastinating. He kept telling me that we should wait for the national convention and then he would tell everybody. He also wanted Riggi in place first then we can do New York. Explaining this to Todaro Jr., and Vic Sansanese, they would respond and tell me that Lorello was already told to go ahead.

At the 1986 LIUNA convention at the Fountainbleu Hotel, Todaro Jr., and Victor Sansanese had a discussion with Arthur Coia Sr., in my presence and told him Mike Lorello was stalling. Telling Coia that Lorello was told to go along with the program. Coia stated that Mike Lorello is going to do it but you know Mike or words to that effect.


NOTE:

(The words that I am using in this document are mine and reflect what I remember. My 1985-1986, 302's that contain numerous references to this subject are not in my possession and I am recreating this topic from memory alone.)

At the convention, most of the New York City locals that I talked to were already told about the State Training Program. Mike La Barbara and Peter Vario of Local 66 were the only ones to voice concern with me (excluding New Jersey and the Riggi problem he had with Rich Tissesserie and Ray Pocino) and telling me that they thought things have changed since this program was approved. I asked them what would have caused it to changed and did not get a response. (I believe that they may have been talking about the killing of Paul Castellano in the winter of 1985) Concerned about what was going to happen their on-going training program, I told them that I would have Joe Todaro Jr., and Victor Sansanese talk to them. (I do not remember how Victor Sansanese was allowed to attend the convention because he was not a delegate, He was probably allowed to attend as an observer.) Joe Todaro and Victor told him that this was approved and no one has disapproved it. Mike Lorello was eventually grabbed by Joe Todaro Jr., and Victor Sansanese and Lorello told them that he was in fact taking care of the New York Region and the only reason that he didn't was because he was worried about the convention. (At this time Mike Lorello was acting quite senile and he would ramble from the topic to his step son Dannny Costello to that fucking Angelo Fosco.).

After Arthur Coia Sr's., stroke and the death of Mike Lorello the program took a different twist. The state fund was now going to be limited to Upstate New York, and Joe Todaro Jr., and Vic Sansanese wanted to know how to create it. I told him that with New York City out of the way, that they may have a problem with deciding what locals would come under the training fund. (At the time Joe Todaro Jr., was concerned about the future of his Brother-in Law Peter Gerase and his being exposed to prosecution because of Federal scrutiny with Local 210 as well as the lack of Local 210 funds in the Union.)

Todaro Jr., and Victor wanted to also gain control of many of the weak locals throughout the region and gain control of them via the District Council, I pointed out that Butch Quarcini would be opposed to it and he could swing Sam Agati with him. They brought up that Danny Sansanese Jr., can handle Agati, and Sam Fresina has control of many other locals. The discussion continued me pointing out the different locals in the area (They didn't know.) and what had to be done by the International Union. I drafted a breakdown and my original draft excluded Binghamton N.Y. Todaro Jr., told me that he wanted Guv Guinari's local (Pete Pavelsek) under his region.

1. The District Council would have two training sites, one in Buffalo and one in Albany

2. The Buffalo Training fund would include locals in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Jamestown, Olean, Massena, Elmira, Geneva, Oswego, Binghamton, and Rochester.

3. The Albany training fund would include Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Syracuse, Rome, Utica, Plattsburg, and Poughkeepsie.

RE: LIUNA

Dear Doug,

On March 16, I went to dinner with a New England LIUNA , LCN associate.

Sophisticated Travel: One of your investigators (Cleary) has been asking quite a lot of questions regarding Joan Kilburg and her husband. As a result of this, fear of compromise has many afraid to discuss the travel company. I did learn that Coia Jr., has in the past publicly told and directed all Union Officials and Contractors to utilize the Travel Company. When employer organizations would have meetings with Coia or LIUNA regional officials, they would promote the travel company.

New England Defense Fund

Concern over having his law firm directly or indirectly with the New England Defense Fund led Coia and Jim Merloni to develop regional defense programs. One of these regional defense funds was set up in Burlington Massachussetts. Tony (LNU) met with Louis Manderini of Boston, Pavone of Waltham and others over the program. (sometime in the middle to late eighties.)
Jobs were created for LCN associates and comp cases would also be steered to the fund. The Burlington location is also home to the regional benefit fund office. Over $7.00 an hour is paid to the benefit funds by the employers by the employers. And special conditions are made available for LCN associated employers to have an edge over contractors who are not connected such as: allowing non union employees working at lower wage scales to work on non Davis Bacon projects. Lower liability and bonding costs are also available for associated employers. A separate union local, I believe local 1439 handles all demolition in the eastern Massachusetts region and parts of Rhode Island. Under what is referred to as a fifty-fifty program an employer signatory to the demolition local is allowed to bring fifty percent of the project needed employees from other areas. Tony (LNU) and Armond Sabbitini are constant visitors at the Burlington office.

I believe Ottoviani can probably shed quite a lot of information on this and he would also be aware of Coia's relationship with the Union house restaurant and the training funds.

The two laborers that I meet with are now working at night so it is more difficult to meet with them except on week ends. If any of this information is helpful let me know. Both are close friends of Manderini and know quite a lot about Coia, Patriaccia and are LCN associates. I have known them for a number of years and they are not aware of my past or what I do for a living.

They did not know the last name of the lawyer Tony, but it would probably be Trianni

Re: Arthur A. Coia, Investments and Legal Plans.

Dear Doug,

It seems that Arthur A. Coia has been involved in some questionable financial transactions involving his law firm the Gateway building and the City of Providence. Some of His utilization of various legal defense funds and real estate investments are included.

History and Relevant Information

1. 1974, formation of the Rhode Island Public Service Employees Legal Service Fund.

2. Around 1979 together with his father, Santo Traffacante and Philip Schwab purchased a shopping mall around Tampa Florida.

3. 1980, Creation of the North American Defense League.

4. 1981, Federal Indictment

5. 1981, Angelo Fosco received around $50,000.00 from both at least two of the Coia created defense funds and in violation of the fund trust agreements,( Commingling of fund assets).

6. 1982, the North American Defense League changed its name to the North American Laborers Defense League in an effort to correct legal mistakes made by Arthur A. Coia

7. 1983, Arnold Killberg, Arthur A, Coia, John Capaldi, (A LIUNA signatory employer) Frank Corrente and others purchased the Gateway building.

8. 1986, Philip Schwab (Cuyahoga Wrecking) receives demolition contracts for the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach, and the Fort Lauderdale airport. (non-union)

9. 1988, non-interest bearing holding account at the Heritage Loan and Investment Co. (ERISA violation)

10. 1994, Sale of Gateway building to the Rhode Island Public Service Employees Legal Service Plan.
Synopsis

Around the middle seventies when Coia was with the Rhode Island District Council, he aided in the formation of the Rhode Island Public Service Employees Legal Fund. In concert with his father and Joseph Virgilio, the President of Laborers Local 1033, a contract with the City of Providence was consummated.

At that time the Mayor of Providence was Joseph Doorley and after receiving financial and political support from the Laborers he agreed to the Legal Plan. Ironically after losing a reelection bid Doorley was named as the Administrator of the Legal Fund.

A. Instead of following traditional and normal guidelines in the establishment of a Taft Hartly Trust Fund, this plan was not established as a non for profit organization.

B. After the formation of the North American Defense League in 1980 as a result of the Federal Investigation. At that time the only contributors were local unions and laborers from the New England area. In violation of applicable ERISA laws, Coia Sr., had his son send Angelo Fosco and his attorney (Foran) around $50,000.00 to aid with his legal expense. The laborers International Union reimbursed Arthur Coia Jr., for his firm’s legal expenses. It also paid for the hiring of a private investigator. (Over the reluctance of Max Warren, and Connerton associate Jules Bernstein).

Because both Coias were warned of the potential legal problems in utilizing New England funds for non- participating laborers (Angelo Fosco etc.,) It became necessary for laborers from various other regions to sign send money to the North American Defense League and sign authorization cards. It also became necessary to amend the trust agreements. Coia Senior scurried around the country and had many of us send money in an attempt to cover up the problem.
C. By 1983, with Angelo Fosco and Arthur Coia Senior at each others throat, LIUNA operations became quite difficult. Vice Presidents and Regional Managers were forced to align with one or the other. Coia supporters included Mike Lorello, Ugo Rossini, and Bud Vinall. Fosco supporters included Max Warren, Wilbur Freitag, and Herb Lobell. Bob Connerton and Jim Norwood were with Angelo and openly berated by Coia and Lorello. The national training fund positions were supposed to be evenly divided between Coia and Fosco with Coia having say so over general policy.
Warren Anderson became the first national director with Coia appointed assistants John LaConche and Fosco assistants James Warren and Bruce Monaco. Coia wanted the Washington DC based fund and its employees moved to Promfret Connecticut with Jerry Lapore as the site director. The Chicago and New York city LCN had to intervene. Because of Coia being given prior approval of general policy, the Promfret site became a reality. During refurbishing of the old monastery which was to become the national site, lack of national funds became a problem. Coia Sr., had Arthur A, Felix Conti and James Merloni Jr. utilize funds from the New England training fund to pay for national fund expenses, (commingling of funds).
Coia also told Warren Anderson, James Warren and Bruce Monaco that if they wanted to stay on with the fund they must move their families to Connecticut. Problems ensued, Warren Anderson quit and Bruce Monaco (Angelo's step son went to work for the Chicago district council. Coia told Edward Thorton of Toronto, Ontario that he was going to appoint him as the next Director of training replacing Warren Anderson. Fosco, reacted by having Vince Solano tell Coia that he could run the fund but prior LCN approval was still required prior to hiring decisions. Arthur felt quite embarrassed and had a difficult time telling Thorton that he had to hire someone else. After many disagreements on who was to fill the position James (Mitch) Warren was named as the new Director.

D. In an effort to avoid minority problems raised by the outspoken Bob Powell, it was decided to increase the Vice Presidents to 10 with both Coia Sr., and Fosco selecting a person subject to LCN approval. Coia Sr., opted for Vere Haynes a Caribbean born Black American laborer working in one of his locals health and welfare programs. Fosco selected Louis Bravo an Hispanic American laborer from California. Even though both were LCN approved, that didn't stop both from debasing each other. Coia would state that Bravo wasn't black and that Fosco was supposed to select a black man. Fosco would retaliate with the fact that Haynes was West Indian and that the blacks do not consider him as one of there own.
E. While preparing for the Laborers convention in 1986 at the Fountenbleu Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. Arthur A. Coia, Dominic Lopeatro, Armondo Sabbitoni, Dan Costello (Mike Lorello's stepson) and I went golfing at the Emerald Hills Country Club in Hollywood Florida. Sheldon Leventhal an account who was a mob associate and connected to the Connecticut family had made contact with Coia Jr., thru his father and with me thru Joe Todaro Sr. He represented Charles Schnier the owner of the club and needed money to keep the club operating. I explained that the Western New York Building Trades Investment Foundation could not arrange for any pension fund investments outside of the Buffalo area. Coia Jr., stated that James Merloni had screwed up and lost control of the fledging New England Investment fund to the Carpenters. However he felt that he could arrange the financing thru an unnamed fund and that he had a bank in Providence that could handle it. I do not know if he ever went thru with the financing of the Country Club.

F. Because of his New York LCN support and his relationship with the Chicago family and Vince Solano, Coia Sr. never doubted that the families would support him with the ongoing Fosco problem. Even after being told by Joseph Todaro Sr., that Chicago would not allow him to take over the President's position, he still believed that when push came to shove they would support him. Arthur Coia Jr., was the very vehicle that would be utilized in creating positions for mob attorney's and the means to avoid costly legal expense to fight Federal government and its attack on organized crime and its captive labor unions. His plan of a national defense fund was already started even though some in the LCN felt it was self serving, his creating of national training sites in New York and New Jersey was appreciated by just an exercise in what they already felt would have been accomplished without his input. I honestly believe that his stroke was a result of his rebuff by the mob over the Fosco debacle.

G. After becoming General Secretary Treasurer, Coia Jr., promoted national benefit programs and even though utilizing his law firm to control the national legal programs he increased the role of LCN attorney's in New York city to maintain good relationships. As stated in a previous report, Robert Bogucki acted as the front man for the fund.
After the Federal government investigation of LIUNA became public, the fund developed a different strategy and utilized its cash assets to award grants to those in need of legal assistance. In an effort to avoid potential problems, Massachusetts established its own fund programs in Burlington Massachusetts. Coia & Lapore still maintained its representation of Rhode Island Defense fund programs and still represents Local 1033 and the Providence Civil Service employees who are all members of LIUNA.

H. Coia Jr's., daughter dated Philip Ottovani the owner of the Union House restaurant and a LIUNA official himself. Because of a falling out between Coia Jr., and Ottovani, the daughter broke off the relationship. The daughter then started dating then married Darren Corrente, the son of Frank Corrente. The younger Corrente is now a Junior partner in the Coia- Lapore law office.

I. The Coia-Lapore law offices have received over 1033 and is currently under review by the Rhode Island Bar Association for possible conflict of interest violations. Frank Corrente an employee of the City of Providence and a partner in the Gateway Building Project has already been sited by a Rhode Island Ethics Panel for his role in the 1033 contract and its renting space in the Gateway building. The plan also developed a non interest bearing checking account with the Heritage Loan and Investment Co.(The FBI has linked the defunct bank and its chief official Joseph Mollicone to Raymond Patriarca Jr.) Coia invested $20,000.00 in the building and for that investment received 20% ownership. Capaldi arranged for most of the cash around $350,000.00 and even paid the mortgage thru his company's rental payments. Last fall the building was sold for $2,150,000.00 to the 410 South Main Street Title Holding Company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rhode Island Public Service Employees Legal Service Plan.

J. In 1986, Philip Schwab entered a plea bargain arrangement with the Justice Department after he bribed Howard Stecker, an official with the Environmental Protection Agency. He is currently operating union-non union operations in the New England area under the name of Cuywreco Corp., a demolition company fronted by his son Mark. The company is currently under investigation by the FBI in Gary, Indiana.

RE: Ray Pocino

Dear Doug,
In December of 1995, Local 172 and 472 became participants with the Carpenters and Steamfitters Unions in what is known as the Health Care Coalition. Based out of Raritan New Jersey the program takes advantage of collective membership and what seems to be a well run operation. Headed up by Edward Geisler, the benefits and claims paying seems to be excellent with little room for kick-back schemes. The prior director of the Health Care Coalition George Laufenberg, died 4 months ago and this opened up more participation by Locals 172 and 472.
One of the major changes that took place in this participation by the Laborers locals is the lack of retained percentages of earnings. Because of organizations like this and HMO's, many physicians have banded together and formed Doctor Networks. The HMO or organization enters into a fee schedule outlining the different services by the Doctor and the physician is paid in accordance with that schedule. Many LCN controlled unions in New Jersey through the fund administrator or a third party entered into these discussions. The one difference was that the members would see a different fee schedule then the one the physician was paid on. The doctor through the physicians network would be paid less than what his or her network was. The difference is either retained by the network for administrative fees, or split and funneled back to the LCN associate. If a third party administrator is used the profits are either split or the third party retains his percentage.

I have no proof as of now but it seems that Ray Pocino may have been involved in this practice until recently. You will find as we enter into the benefit funds that this practice and others are quite prevalent. In an local of around 2000, the financial fallout would be over 1.5 million a year.

Recently the FBI thru its Atlantic City RA, has started an investigation into this very practice with the employees of the Casinos and Philadelphia-Camden medical networks. It is quite possible that Pocino, realizing the problems that could befall him from your office or the Atlantic City investigation, joined with a pristine operation. Members of 172 are quite pleased with the turn around but wonder why it took so long when the carpenters have been long time recipients.
I have a person that one of your investigators can talk with

Laborers International Union                             April 4, 1996
Inspector General Douglas Gow

RE: Arthur A. Coia.

Dear Doug,

Around 1990 the Laborers International Union implemented and promoted what was known as union membership privilege programs. Travel, Mastercard, Union savings, Medical prescription, Life Insurance and Legal Services were offered.

Travel Program

The program charged union members an annual participation fee of $29.00 and most New England local unions were told to utilize the Travel Plus Club. This together with the legal fund were Coia Jr's domain.

Mastercard

This was the first program recognized by LIUNA and was established thru the Bank of New York (Delaware). This was the brainchild of Genovese Family controlled locals and Sam Caivano. This program is still in existence.

Union Savings

This program was touted as helping union members earn more with savings accounts, mortgages. At this time my information is limited but I probably could find out more.

Medical Prescription.

Unlike his father, Arthur Coia Jr., did not snub the Gambino family and its controlled locals. Michael Mandaglio (92A-6137) (Mike Medalia) a Capo in the Gambino family who handles all LIUNA activity in greater New York and New Jersey for his family was in part responsible for this program. Mike who lives (or lived) at 11 Via Vitale in Kenilworth, New Jersey was the man that you would see regarding family business. National Pharmacies of Elmwood Park New Jersey was named as the company who would be promoted. I believe John Quarcintino (Riggi's successor) even went along. Two of the largest participating locals were 172 and 472. This program is still in existence.
Life Insurance

I haven't found out that much about this program except that it was promoted by Coia, Caivano to have locals push their members for supplemental life insurance.

Legal Services
This program was started by Coia Jr., who intended to utilize the total LIUNA membership in an effort to extend his law firms activity and resources across the country. The main office was established in New York City and was operated by a lawyer named Bogaki. A Coia associate by the name of Joe Doorley was also involved in policy making. The Genovese, Gambino and Colombo Family's were allowed to place favored attorneys as recipients of the national program. Caivano talked to LCN controlled unions Buffalo, Albany, etc., about selecting favored attorneys for participation. I am quite sure all families would have been consulted. Around 1992-93 when the FBI's investigation of LIUNA surfaced and inter-LCN family arose the program ceased be pushed and changed direction. The granting of existing funds to local unions and district councils on a as need basis to fight any efforts by militants and the fed were commenced. As stated in my previous correspondence the Burlington Mass, and other geographic legal programs were developed and continue today.

Even though these areas may prove to be insufficient in relationship proving LCN-LIUNA inter-play, coupled with what we already know and a closer look at the rise and misuse of training funds, hiring practices and association with known criminals will prove fruitful.

Possible areas for consideration include:

Coia-New England area

1. LIUNA rep,. Dominic Ruggerio, the son of Patriarca LCN member Charles Ruggerio.(Coia associate).

2. 226 S. Main St. Providence R.I.

3. Local 609, Phil Ottaviani and the Union House Restaurant.

4. Capaldi Brothers and Coia Real Estate investments.

5. Boston-Mandarini's and Big Dig and the establishment of the demolition local.

6. Transfer of funds between the National Training fund and the New England Training Fund.

7. Peter Purazzela and the Training fund in Medford New York.

8. Joe Pavone Local 560


Ray Pocino and New Jersey

1. Ronald Denedetto, Ercole Diantonio, Joe Gervasi

2. Pocino problems with Frank Sorge of local 502 Orange New Jersey.

3. fights with John Quarcintino,

John Quarcintino

1. Manny Riggi, training site at Mata Wah New Jersey, Antionio Pirone and Woodward Const.

2. Asbestos Local, Johns Mansville shakedown, Costaldo

3. Kimmins Const.

I have a very good source of information in Canada and I can find out about Chicago LCN input with Toronto Ontario, and information regarding Arthur Coia wanting Ugo Rossini replaced by Enrico Mancinelli (connected to Buffalo family). Club LIUNA, General Concrete of Canada, Nello Scipioni, Norman Tussicie of Montreal, Michael Gagario, John Steffinani.

Even though the Carpenters and Ironworkers have full employment, the Laborer's are far from it. Besides poor organizing ability, the main reason for this is their acquiescence to alter-ego employers. This is not the result of not knowing what to do and how to correct the problem, but their allowing it to happen. A prime example is Paul Marinaccio the owner of Accadia Const. a union company. Marinaccio has opened up two non union companies Eastman and certified Concrete. A fight developed between the Pieri Brothers and Peter Capitano over Marinaccio. Paul is close to the Todaro's and I assume that the Pieri's were causing him problems. John Arcadi of Depew Development an associate of Don Panepinto has set up Leaseway as a non-union alter-ego company. The list goes on and on.

Danny Sansanese Jr's company MBN Park has gone under, but before the collapse they stiffed the Benefit funds for over $150,000.00. The General contractor Depezio Const. and its owner Bernie Depezio were forced to pay all MBN Parks bills. Bernie Depezio has been talking about it to Bob Ellis and I believe he would talk to me but like everyone else afraid of retaliation.

Bob and Gary Hill, owners of Union Concrete are aware of favoritism as well as 210 acquiescence to alter ego problems. I truly believe that local 210 is facing collapse from this allowance and necessary immediate law suits must take place to stop this problem.

Besides the LCN problem, the Todaro's have brought about the unions destruction and even under a trusteeship, major restructuring is necessary.

I am still developing laborer's willing to assist as well as following up on those already working with us.


Jack Panczykowski., the illegal activity that Jack was involved in was that besides working as a training instructor, he was employed as an estimator by Modern Refactories a company involved in asbestos removal. Jack would tell Victor what Modern Refactories project bids would be and Victor would pass this information onto Joseph Cardinale who in turn would use that information for his asbestos company or supply the information to Kimmins Environmental. Jack Panczykowski was a friend of my fathers and he worked with Sam Cardinale with gambling in the past. When I ran for office in 1973, he supported our side. After he became a training instructor under Victor Sansanese and watching Thomas De Nisco get axed by Victor, just because he didn't cater to Victor, Jack Panczykowski quickly saw the light. The purchase of supplies were done thru DiVal Equip. a company owned by Joseph DiMaggio, the nephew of Buffalo LCN Capo Rosario Carlisi and Chicago LCN boss Sam Carlisi. Joe's brother Nick became an LIUNA International rep. out of the Chicago regional office and the Chicago LCN had their favored employers and the training fund utilize DiVal Equipment.

Dear Bill,

An article in today's New York Daily News mentioned Laborers Local 958, Frank Giovinco and the unions ties to the Genovese family and the Chin. In my initial findings and listed in a report I mailed to Doug yesterday is the name Angelo Ponte. In the the article Ponte is mentioned as doing business with the local. In my report you will find that he is currently involved with the Genovese controlled labor unions in New Jersey as well. When Local 958 and other NYC locals becomes the focus of your office, let me know because I have access to a person that knows quite a lot about LCN-LIUNA activity. Thomas Petrizzo, a Colombo family capo who knows quite a lot about all New Jersey Mob-Labor operations is currently cooperating with the FBI. I don't know if they will allow access, but he worked with Genovese and Riggi forces in the past.

I know I have been a pain to you and believe me I am sorry. I hope you understand that I am under a lot of financial strain and I had to borrow money to get to Washington and New Jersey.

Dear Bill,

I have just completed reading your May 3, letter and I am quite concerned. Most of the additional areas of discovery are a result of my review of Doreen Masterson. Omitting those areas from my report could subject me to: (if you learned of this! Why didn't you tell us.) In an effort to keep my typing cost down, I do not always proof read. As a result my grammar and spelling are somewhat suspect and for this I am truly sorry. I assure you, if I had any knowledge that the Masterson investigation was closed, I would have ceased my examination. Please let me know if my services should be limited to testimony and my personal experiences versus the information I have access to. I will be more than happy to place my discovery into a declaration. I feel that it would be in the best interest of all that we sit down and discuss my activity and my future input before I continue.

Respectfully

Dear Bill,

I would like to see you (if possible) this Wednesday or Thursday (No Charge)to discuss you last memo and my future.
Please call me collect and let me know if this can be arranged.

Regarding your question: (who is Phoenix Wrecking?)
The company is owned and operated by Philip Schwab and performs demolition and hazardous waste removal throughout the country. Throughout all my years of meeting Organized crime members and LCN controlled union officials, the name of Philip Schwab has always been a topic of kickbacks and racketeering. His companies have and are involved with every Cosa Nostra family and almost every LCN controlled LIUNA local. When Anthony and Chester Liberatore were the subject of federal scrutiny, I told SA Jerry Personen (Cleveland Office) about Schwab and his companies. Further explaining about the available paper trail and where to find the many witnesses. Immediate results were obtained and Chester Liberatore agreed to a plea bargain. These same paths of discovery are still accessible and no subpoena power is needed to obtain them. Currently Schwab companies owe LIUNA affiliates more then a half a million dollars in benefit funds and union dues contributions. There is no question in my mind that any investigation of Schwab and his operations will provide a vehicle for success in the elimination of Cosa Nostra control of LIUNA and its local unions.

Respectfully,

William Rice,

Dear Bill,

Pursuant to your remarks re; my report filing and the starting investigations on my own with out authorization. Please be advise that I do not have a hidden agenda nor an ulterior purpose. I feel that you may view me as an obstacle. Please don't take offense for my words. In the last two months I have received $ 1,600.00. Believe me I know the problems you and Doug are going thru. Finances are tight, and every move is under under heavy scrutiny. I just wanted to let you know that I hold Doug and the rest of the team in the highest esteem. I feel its best under these circumstances that I start looking for employment elsewhere.

Laborers International Union                 June 7, 1996
Att: Douglas Gow,

Re: Labor Locals 1030 , 21

Dear Doug,
As I previously mentioned the Newark bureau considers Schiffileti as the main principal behind Local 1030 and the party responsible for conducting daily business. He has been observed meeting with Riggi replacement John Quarcentino on a regular basis. I was personally told by John Riggi that Quarcentino was going to replace him and that if I needed to communicate with him (Riggi) that I should go thru Quarcentino. Riggi also stated that he would still be running the show and that Quarcentino was only a front to protect the union from the then (1987) investigation being conducted by AUSA Robert Stewart.

Local 1030 was the brainchild of Riggi and his son Manny. I was present when Jimmy Costaldo first came on board and I was told to help teach him about the asbestos removal field. I was also informed that Costaldo's father was some higher up associate of Riggi's. I believe he was an LCN member but I am not positive.
(1) Currently Costaldo is not directly working for the Local, that doesn't mean that he is not involved, I believe he is. Back in 1992 he allegedly played a role in procuring asbestos removal work for Kimmins Environmental Services at the Atlantic City Housing Authority. I have requested a copy of the available employee information and wage reports for that project. I know this by itself does not prove LCN connections with laborers local 1030 but coupled with other racketeering charges the control will be come apparent. When the congressional hearings headed by the late Oklahoma Congressman Synar investigated organized crime and its connections to the hazardous waste industry. The name Kimmins was repeatedly mentioned as having ties to organized crime. The Atlantic City project wasn't completed until 1994 so it would also implicate the current leadership if my assumption is correct.
Because this was a HUD project, the Davis Bacon wage rates was and is substantially lower then the union scale. At that time I believe that Kimmins had a contract with Local 1030 (I know that they had prior relationship re: a project at the Johns Manville Plant in Northern New Jersey. Kimmins was introduced to John Riggi by Daniel Domino and I believe Jessie Hyman was also involved.) If we can show that there was a current collective bargaining agreement in existence and that the union allowed the company and its sub-contractors to employ union and non-union employers at a reduced pay scale, it can add to the charges. I am also sure we can develop links to known OC figures, thru the sub-contractors and waste haulers such as Barretti Carting Corp., and V. Ponte and Sons. Inc. (see attached)

(2) The practice of utilizing non-union personal at reduced rates is quite prevalent in New Jersey and in New York City. This is done a couple of ways, the two most common are:

The Union Employer utilizes another beneficially owned company on non-Davis Bacon projects (steel plants, refineries, chemical plants, etc.,) to avoid paying the union wage scale and benefits) this is known in the industry as alter-ego operations. On Davis Bacon projects (schools, public buildings or any project that involves federal, state or municipal funds they utilize the union company for the contract and bring in non-union employers after the union crew has gone home for the day. The non- union employees come in at night and remove the asbestos and illegally remove and discard the waste. These nightly work operations and work crews are known as sneaker brigades. They are not legally licensed and normally are Polish and Russian immigrants. Because of the required record keeping, there is a paper trail and both areas are quite easily investigated.

(3) Some of the removal projects recently completed that involved Local 1030 employees and under reported the amounts of friable asbestos are.

Investigating this type of activity may appear to look quite time consuming and to some mind boggling, but it really isn't.

EXAMPLE: Lets take the Linden School District or the Elizabeth School District.

1. We know who performed the work, the carting and where the asbestos went.
2. We know the quantities that were listed on the required environmental reports.

What we need to learn is:

1. Names of the employees that were used to remove the asbestos.

2. What were the school engineers estimates of asbestos.

3. Where were the asbestos workers trained.

4. Who were the sub-contractors.

5. What were the employees paid and their work hours.

6. Who were the other bidders on the project and what were their estimates of asbestos to be removed.

This information is public information and it can be obtained from the school or the project moniter.

Once we have compiled this information, we then check the employee records to see who are LIUNA members. We can also locate the temporary help thru the New Jersey Unemployment Division in Trenton NJ (I have already made contact with the NJ DOL and they will assist us.)

After this is completed, we will be able to show that the union official, shop steward and employer violated the collective bargaining agreement as well as ERISA and other labor laws. In many cases you will find sub-contractors are owned by the union official or local mobster. In most occurrences you will also find that many of the non-union employees utilized the asbestos removal licenses of the certified union member. Red Ball and other demolition contractors continue to use this practice.

The many LCN controlled laborers locals and district councils through out NYC and New Jersey have gone to great lengths to make sure that construction debris, hazardous waste and solid waste contracts were supplied to LCN controlled waste hauler's. I am sure that local 21 and 1030 were heavily involved in this practice. In fact with the exception of BFI, I believe that each and every hauler is connected to a LCN family. Recently a number of hauler's have been indicted in NYC. I have gathered some information regarding a number of these hauler's and their LCN relationships.

I have instituted the following information in this report since some of these companies will probably appear on future Local 1030 and Local 21 reports. Information such as where Chin Gigante lives and Ponte's restaurant is located, are offered as background and I have included them because they will probably pop up in future investigations involving other LCN controlled locals . Ponte's is a mob restaurant that I have visited on a number of occasions. Even though some of this information pertains to New York City, these same companies will be found performing work for the two local unions I am looking at.

Vigliotti & Sons is one of 23 companies indicted last summer by Manhattan's D.A. for alleged participation in a Mafia-dominated cartel. Investigators allegedly believe that Joseph Francolino (57 years old, affiliated with Duffy Waste) is the godfather of garbage for the Gambino family. The D.A. allegedly says that Angelo Ponte is a mobster and a trash industry bid-rigger. Philip Barretti, who pled innocent to arson and antitrust charges, allegedly has been identified by law enforcement sources as an associate of the Gambino crime family, an alleged link he denies. Angelo Ponte (affiliated with V. Ponte and Sons) is allegedly the wastepaper point man for the Genovese crime family. The main vehicle of control for the Mafia in Manhattan allegedly is the Association for Trade Waste Removers of Greater New York (and its sister, the Waste Paper Association).

Vincent Jimmy Vigliotti (affiliated with ABC Recycling, Ava Carting, and Vigliotti & Sons) reputedly is tied to the Genovese family. Mr. Vigliotti was honored at the Bronx Chamber of Commerce's 100th anniversary luncheon. (At the luncheon, the keynote speaker was the governor's new economic development czar.) Vigliotti (like several other indicted garbage haulers, such as Ponte and Barretti) has benefited greatly from tax-exempt industrial development bonds. Vigliotti's customers include the Royalton Hotel and the Palace Theater.

Angelo Ponte's steakhouse allegedly is popular with members of the Mafia-run garbage cartel. His garbage customers include Chemical Bank , Empire State Building,Forbes magazine, General Motors, Giants Stadium, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tishman Speyer, United Nations, U.S. Postal Service, and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Witnesses say that he is a close friend of Vincent Gigante. Ponte was named an honorary sanitation commissioner under former mayor Abe Beam in the 1970s. Ponte is a prominent member of (Archdiocese of New York) Archbishop John O'Connor's Committee for the Laity (a post he got just four months before he allegedly was identified, in testimony before a state senate committee in 1984, as a member of a Mafia family). Ponte is a founder of Cop Shot, an organization that rewards people who inform on cop-killers. Last year, Mr. Ponte (together with Dale Carnegie & Associates) paid for a statue of the founder of the New York City marathon. He also gave $100,000 for a library exhibit (at the research library at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue) on the history and politics of garbage. Ponte's paper mill was partially financed by a HUD grant (that New Jersey's U.S. Senator Bill Bradley helped Ponte get). The Ponte family owns more than 40 buildings in lower Manhattan.

Patrick Pecoraro (affiliated with Delmar Recycling and V. Marangi Carting) is allegedly linked to the Gambino family. His customers include Starbucks coffeehouses, Yankee Stadium, the New York Athletic Club, and the Essex House Hotel.

Michael D'Ambrosio (affiliated with Five Brothers Carting and Robros Recycling) is the third-largest, indicted garbage-hauler. His customers include Bankers Trust, Barclays Bank, Hard Rock Cafe, Lincoln Center, MCI, J.P. Morgan, New York Times (New Jersey printing plant), Planet Hollywood, and Swiss Bancorp.

Philip Barretti (affiliated with Barretti Carting, Nekboh Recycling, and Bay Sanitation) used to handle the local trash of the U.S. Justice Department. He was allegedly involved in burning the truck of a non-Mafia (and undercover) garbage-hauler. Then, he allegedly lured the victim to a meeting where he allegedly had a henchman punch and choke the victim. Mr. Barretti is also accused of coaching a witness to falsely testify in a union grievance proceeding. One of his companies allegedly got at least $70,000 in extortion money from the undercover garbage-hauler. Barretti's customers include American Express, Chase Manhattan, Citicorp, Federal Reserve Bank, IBM, Merrill Lynch, New York Life, U.S. Customs House, Wendy's, and the Yale Club. When Gulf War heroes returned for a victory parade in New York City in 1991, he picked up the trash for free. Barretti's plant allegedly was shut down by the state for operating without a permit. The reporter (non-criminally?) found out that, last October, Barretti was arrested for alleged assault. One of Barretti's sons was convicted for assaulting an environmental protestor picketing Barretti's plant.

Mongelli Carting allegedly blocked the entrances to a former customer's plant so that trucks couldn't enter, and allegedly fractured the skull of a a non-cartel driver (attempted murder). Louis and Paul Mongelli (a father and son team) are affiliated with Mongelli Carting.

WMX Technologies (America's largest garbage-hauler, formerly named Waste Management) allegedly helped the cartel by operating a waste transfer station that many of the indicted garbage-haulers used.

Barretti allegations

Philip Barretti, Sr., owns Barretti Carting Corp. (his main garbage-hauling company). Last October, the city government banned that company from the Fulton Fish Market because it allegedly is tied to the Mafia. Two of Mr. Barretti's sons (Mark Barretti and Philip Barretti, Jr.) own Hudson and Apex Sanitation (of Brooklyn). Because of alleged Mafia ties, that company is about to be banned from the Market. According to New York City government records, the two companies allegedly share offices, telephones, equipment, and staff with the senior Baretti's other firms (at a waterfront headquarters in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood). Neither son has been charged with any crime. The father will be tried for alleged arson and extortion. Philip Barretti, Sr., allegedly talked over the phone about illegally dumping oily dirt from a construction site.

Last June, the Manhattan D.A.'s office got indictments (in 1995 civil case 403825 0023) against owners of 23 garbage-hauling companies and against two alleged leaders in the Gambino and Genovese families. The indictments allege the owners and leaders of using arson and threats to (1) allegedly eliminate competition, and (2) allegedly allocate routes through the domination of four trade associations. The associations allegedly are:

Greater New York Waste Paper Association
511 Canal Street
Manhattan 10013
telephone (212) 925-2870

Kings County Trade Waste Association
The Association of Trade Waste Removers of Greater New York, Inc.
180 West Broadway, Suite 202
Manhattan 10013
telephone (212) 941-7311

Greater Trade Waste Association
address then called 97 Catherine Street
(address now called 97 Catherine Slip,
Manhattan 10038

The associations are defendants in last June's indictments.

NY State Supreme Court

Last June, many garbage haulers were also indicted on racketeering and extortion charges. The haulers (also called carters) were charged with being part of a Mafia-dominated cartel that used arson and threats of violence. Seventeen individuals and 26 companies (including V. Ponte & Sons and Baretti Carting, among the best-known private haulers in the city) were indicted.


V. Ponte & Sons
111 Paterson Avenue
Hoboken, NJ 07030
(212) 966-5420

Barretti Carting Corp.
2 North 5th St.
phone (718) 384-5151

Barretti Carting Corp. has New York City Department of Consumer Affairs license # 480028. Baretti alleges its affiliation with Jumbo Carting & Refuse Inc., and Nekoboh Recycling Inc.

Ponte allegations

V. Ponte & Sons is the city's largest trash hauler. It is one of several companies indicted in June on charges of maintaining the Mafia's stranglehold on the city's hauling business. Mr. Angelo Ponte allegedly is a big shot at V. Ponte & Sons. The Ponte family allegedly owns much of Tribeca's waterfront property. (Tribeca is a neighborhood in southern Manhattan.) Ponte Equities allegedly owns a five-story double billboard in a parking lot at the northeast corner of Watts Street and West Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. Ponte Steak House seems to own the parking lot (which seems to be managed by Erik Parking, which has New York City Department of Consumer Affairs license 0915103). The Ponte family allegedly owns a restaurant (Ponte Ristorante) in Tribeca. Allegedly, the billboard is controlled by Gaess Outdoor Advertising (in Montvale, New Jersey). The Pontes allegedly get at least $50,000 annually in advertising income from the billboard [when it has advertising]. The Ponte family allegedly has ignored repeated summonses to remove the billboard. (On 17 December 1995, and on 20 February 1996, there was no advertising on the billboard but the billboard was still standing.)

Ponte's Restaurant
Ponte Ristorante and Ponte's Steak House)
39 Desbrosses Street
(at corner of West Street)
(near Ponte's offices at 511 W. Canal St.)
Manhattan 10013
(212) 226-4621

(Ponte Equities Inc. ([212] 966-5420 and [212] 656-5142, ext. 2225) seems to have a lot of real estate in that neighborhood. For example, it seems to have a building at 480 Greenwich Street [southwest corner of Canal and Greenwich Streets]. That corporation also seems to have a building at 268 West Street, just south of [and adjacent to] Ponte's Restaurant. I guess that the Ponte family indirectly owns the building that the restaurant is in. Ponte Steak House seems to own the parking lot [license 428472] at the northwest corner of Desbrosses Street and West Street, across the street from the restaurant. According to the building directory for 511 West Canal Street, V. Ponte & Sons and Ponte Equities are on the 6th floor of that building.)

Zip code 10013 also has the Mulberry Street headquarters of the San Gennaro society, the 171 Mulberry Street social club which was bugged (and the phones of which were tapped) to find out the society's alleged connection to the Mafia, Greater New York Waste Paper Assoc., Assoc. of Trade Waste Removers, Most Precious Blood Church, and Umberto's Clam House.

Vincent Chin Gigante's current home is (according to the bureau) (on Laguardia Place), Mr. Thomas Buzzanca's home (210 Thompson Street), and Mr. Gigante's pre-prosecution home (225 Sullivan Street). Chin. Gigante now lives on the same street as the Assoc. of Trade Waste Removers





Salvatore Gravano testified at the Gotti trial that the Gambino family had run the Association of Trade Waste Removers of Greater New York for 30 years. James Failla, was the Association's head,

The Gambino family allegedly controls the Association of Trade Waste Removers of Greater New York (in Manhattan) and the Queens County Trade Association. Both associations allegedly were commanded by Joseph Francolino, Sr., 57, of Staten Island, until his arrest yesterday. Mr. Francolino allegedly is a powerful member of the Gambino family. He allegedly is the apparent heir of James Failla, the alleged Gambino carting boss convicted of murder conspiracy in Brooklyn federal court last year.

The other two trade associations (Kings County Trade Waste Association, and Greater New York Waste Paper Association) allegedly are controlled by Alphonse Malangone, 58, of Staten Island. Mr. Malangone allegedly is a powerful Genovese captain. He allegedly controls almost all of the hauling in Brooklyn. His assistant allegedly is Frank Giovinco, 28, of Bayside, Queens. He allegedly is a Gambino soldier.

There was a five-year investigation (of the Mafia-controlled cartel). In early May 1996, a state court grand jury indictment was unsealed. It names 17 people and 23 hauling companies. Three off the companies are
V. Ponte & Sons,
Barretti Carting Corporation, and
Five Brothers (headquarters in Jersey City).

Philip Barretti, Sr., 56, of Essex Falls, New Jersey, the owner of three hauling companies, was charged with assaulting an independent hauler and setting fire to his garbage truck. The owners of Mongelli Carting Company in the Bronx (Louis and Paul Mongelli, father and son) were accused of using a bat to severely beat a rival hauler's driver.

Mongelli Carting Co., Inc.
1570 McDonald
(Westchester Hts.
phone (718) 829-0200


On the morning of 10 August 1989, two executives of a garbage-collection company were murdered in their office in East Rockport (Long Island), New York. One was Robert M. Kubecka and the other was his brother-in-law Donald Barstow. Kubecka not only had refused to pay money to the Mafia, he gave valuable help to law enforcement investigators. In federal court in Brooklyn May 7, 1996, four people were charged with the murders. Two of them are accused of having been the gunmen

A fifth person (Salvatore Avellino, Jr.) pled guilty in February (1994?) to charges that included conspiring in the murders. He is now in prison. Prosecutors say that Mr. Avellino was a powerful Mafia captain who long ran the Mafia's garbage business on Long Island.

Even though some of the above stated companies and LCN activity may not encompass Local 1030 nor local 21, some will and with it needed links and witnesses.


In an effort to avoid exposure and at the same time develop what is already known about Laborers local 21 and Laborers local 1030, I have limited my meetings and talks to past associates:


Steve Edwards, Newark FBI
Al Kazczorski NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection Agency enforcement supervisor,
Lawrence Pecan, Atlantic City housing authority
Frank Novak, National Labor Relations Board

Sources of Information that I have access to are all New Jersey regulatory agencies, New Jersey Dept. of Labor, NLRB charges.

Areas that I would like to follow up on include:

New Jersey State Police division of organized crime investigations for Union county. Lt. Richard Butz. I have already been told he will assist us with all areas except active investigations.

James Bowes, A New Jersey based asbestos removal employer who was allegedly a victim of local 1030 racketeering.

Roger Imperial, is a New York City based insurance Bonding agent who writes fraudulent bonds with Riggi controlled unions for LCN employers including Custom Klean of New Jersey. I can find out more about this as well as many LCN-Laborer operations thru Leonard Capizzi.

Leonard Capizzi, knows about LCN-Laborer Union ties, facts, dates, has records, for projects in New York City, New Jersey, St. Louis, Chicago, Albany, Boston and many other areas. Because his information will prove to be invaluable, I highly recommend that he be further contacted for pertinent facts and specifics.


A number of black labors have filed charges against Laborers Local 21 and will probably cooperate. I have already asked Frank Novak from the NLRB to locate the charges and let me know you the individuals are.

Please let me know if I should continue to submit documentation and proceed with discussions.

June 3, and June 4, Drafted report about Locals 1030 and 21, included potential witnesses and sources. Called sources for possible information about both locals and current activity. Talked to Ron Goldstock about Joe Coffey and he will get back. Learned that a Patterson based Asbestos removal company was illigally removing asbestos at the Morristown N.J. city hall. Nesco Asbestos Control Corp. utilized Local 1030 laborers. A Nesco official by the name of Chris Kubiak is a close associate of Manny Riggi. I will not look at this right now, because word could possibly leak back to Nesco or Riggi. Once this investigation is made public, I recommend that some one review this project.

June 5, Talked to source Leonard Capizzi, and discussed current activity in New Jersey. He had more knowledge about New York City and other areas but does know people that will help us with Local 21 and maybe 1030. He is going to get back to me. Talked to more personal friends about 1030 and 21 activity and they will get back. I was told that Local 21 has used OSHA to keep a couple non-union contractors in line. I am going to check OSHA records to see if their are any potential witnesses.

June 6, Started putting together what information I already have on Local 21 and 1030 and locating more sources and witnesses.

June 7, continued looking for witnesses and locating information about Laborers Local 21 and 1030.

I have also learned that the Sate of New Jersey is following NYC and investigating the carting and demolition cartels and their links to LIUNA and the Teamsters.

Re; Organized Crime members and associates to be researched

Dear Bill,

I have researched and checked out the names that you ask me to look into. I believe I found most of them but (Uruissi) I have found absolutely no info on that name, quite possibly I misspelled it. I have incorporated the names under the organized crime family that they are members of or associated with. The information that relates to James Castaldo and Rocco Napoli was from a report I started last April that was not completed, so I just added to this report. I have also included the names and status of associates, contractors and consorts of the names you asked me to look into under the OC family that they were or are closely associated with. Example: (Worth Construction I listed under the New England faction of the Genovese family and his sub-contractor on the Atlantic city convention center Nastasi-White under the Genovese family of NY).

RE: December 20, 1996 invoice.

Dear Doug,

As you already know Bill Rice had asked me to find out what I could about a number of Cosa Nostra members and Associates. Among the names that I was supplied with were Cirillo (no first names), and Worth Construction. I was in the process of gathering information about Anthony, Gaetano and Nicholas Cirillo as well as Worth Const., when I was asked to stop. What I had learned was that Tony Cirillo had a relationship with Sal Lanza and that he is the president of Local 359. Allegedly Gaetano and Nicholas Cirillo assisted in some way with Worth construction in landing a school project in Flushing, New York. I was told that Worth Const., works union and non-union and that Sal Lanza may have been aware of this. I was in the process of learning about Sal Lanza and his connection to Barney Bellomo and the New York State PAC fund and possible misuse. I was in the process of talking to someone that has access to a close associate of Lanza, Worth Const., and the Cirillos. The Cirillos have been closely linked to the Genovese family. Lanza has also been linked to the Genoves family and has a long standing relationship with Joe Pontoriero. In the process of discovery I learned that Worth Construction has a history of having low bidders on projects lose out and have his company awarded the job (similar to what happened in Atlantic City). Like I said previously I did not complete more than a preliminary study. When I check on a subject like this not everybody that I contact knows that much and some sources have to reach out themselves.

Att: Douglas Gow,

Dear Doug,

I deeply regret to inform you that information containing my current living location has been leaked to the press by an associate of our clean up team. With little effort this knowledge could lead to my new identity being compromised and potentially placing me and my family in physical danger. I have been quite confused by this and the political motivation behind it and as a result attempted to generate enough money so that I could move my family to a new location in Massachusetts. Unfortunately the lack of employment has made this quite impossible.

The problem is paradoxical and compounded by my wife's child custody battle with her ex-husband. My lack of ability to provide the necessary fund has forced our attorney to drop our case and we must remain in Massachusetts. Because I am not aware of how far the compromise has traveled I may have to turn to my last option and join the witness protection program. This approach unfortunately will result in the dissolution of my marriage and the life I have come to know. Regretfully even though I do not have any other means of employment I must resign from my employment with your office

ATT: U.S. Trial Attorney Kenneth Laurie (sic Lowrie)

Re: Laborers International Union of North America-Consent Decree

Dear Ken,

As you already know my father was a member of the Cosa Nostra and as a result of his status in this crime family I became the recipient of a business agents position at Laborers Local 210 in Buffalo, New York in 1970. This appointment was not the result of any labor relations acumen on my part but a gesture by the then Local unions secretary treasurer acknowledging my father and his then position as boss of the family.

In 1973 as the result of a fracture in the hierarchy of the Buffalo Cosa Nostra I was elected to the position of Business Manager on the promise that I would allow the membership the right to run their local union. After being in office for only two weeks, I was summoned to a Cosa Nostra sit-down and told that all decisions would be made by the mob, not the union membership. I was quite cognizant of the LCN's methods of enforcing directives and that even my father could not amend the tragic consequences that the non-connected members would be inundated with.

With limited resources available and ruling out any dangerous confrontation I decided on a course of aiding the FBI in its endeavor to expose and prosecute LCN members, associates and criminal cohorts. From the period 1973 thru 1989, my more than 3000 reports made by various FBI agents contained incessant examples of illegal and amoral activity by mob members and LIUNA officials from California to New England. This activity was not occasional but purposely designed to afford the mob total dominance of the International from its choke points in Chicago, and New York City. Other LCN families such as those established in Cleveland, Buffalo, Providence, etc., aided in and benefited from this control and rape of the union and its membership.

After my FBI cooperation became public in 1989 I have openly talked and testified about this cancer that had infested some of are largest labor unions and deviously manipulated and infected many others. When the agreement to allow the Laborers Union the right to conduct its own self cleansing was announced I was quite disturbed and perplexed by the arrangement. After reviewing the agreement I remained concerned but the appointment of Doug Gow as the LIUNA Inspector General and the affording of unlimited financial resources to his newly created office seemed quite promising.

Besides the Douglas Gow hiring the main reason I felt that this novel procedure would prove to be a success lay in the ability to add fiduciary violations as a means of ejecting LCN members and associates from the International Union and its regional offices, district councils and local unions. Without the fiduciary violations motivation I knew that the accomplishment threshold would be beyond reach and that only limited success would be obtainable. Without subpoena power, access to current on going Federal and State investigations, the information stream would be limited to already used sources of information. This course of gathering information is fine but obviously limited and laden with danger. The main liability lay in having government sources that were utilized in the Government's charge turn that information directly over to the very targets of that complaint. This would subject a potential government witness to the targeted objective of the investigation and having that witness explain and point out all the pertinent information that the government was going to present is a court of law. This impairment cannot be lightly dismissed especially when some of those members and associates of the Cosa Nostra named in the complaint may be the target of a Grand Jury or another related investigation.

Safeguards must be installed that provide that under no circumstances will the Inspector General, his investigative body, the Attorney's assigned to bring charges or anyone else involved with due process being placed in the unwanted position of having to in any form answer to anyone under investigation. The inspecting team must avoid any and all contact with those named in the complaint who are potential targets of that complaint except during the pursuit of justice. This would mean that all funding of the Inspector Generals Office and the Attorneys presenting the evidence would be pre established and not tied in any way to the leadership of the International Union. Additional regulations would have to be implemented to prevent those that provided information to the Justice Department from having to expose themselves to potential adversaries if the Department of Justice decides to impose a trusteeship.

There is no question that the public has benefited from this agreement because it has saved millions of tax payers dollars in court battle costs that would have surely taken place and there is also no question that under the agreement the Justice Department has the right to impose Federal trusteeship at any time it feels obligated. On the other hand however have those financial savings compromised or harmed the original complaint and provided those named with a water shed of information that could aid in developing a defense if criminal charges were ever brought relating to the matter at hand or another.

Some proponents of the agreement may say that the General Executive board attorney and the Inspector General have had substantial success against organized crime, its controlled locals and International officials. They point out the removal of Sam Caivano and John Serpico. The dislodging of local 210 officers and agents are also pointed out with the successful takeover of Local 8 in Chicago, Illinois. These champions detail the successes in New York City with the Mason Tenders District Council or the membership removal of the Matthew Trupiano's that infest the local unions.

Those critics say that the deal's made with John Serpico, Sam Caivano and the Officers of Local 210 were nothing more than a buy out and that they were the sacrificial lamb that became necessary. Laborers Local 8 in Chicago was already insolvent and that made the takeover automatic. Those LCN members and associates that were expelled from the LIUNA ranks such as Matthew Trupiano were previously convicted and by law disbarred from holding any official position in any labor organization. The Mason Tenders district council in New York City had been under Federal Trusteeship and all this fanfare is nothing more stealing ones thunder. You may even hear a LIUNA analyst question why the only members being expelled from the LIUNA ranks in New England, New York City or New Jersey are those that have been already convicted of a felony. The complaint points out district council, International union and local union officers and agents that operate out of these regions who have had ties to the LCN. Why haven't any charges been filed against them and even if they were? it just may be to late! Was an (if any) investigation of them purely an exercise in avoiding criticism and has the threshold level for bringing charges placed higher then what it is for others. You can have the most aggressive competent investigators but if the standard for filing charges is placed out of reach, all investigative efforts are for naught.
For the past 18 months I have been employed by the LIUNA Inspector General's office and during that period of time I have provided numerous information relating to corrupt union practices that have and continue to take place. This nefarious and criminal activity runs the gamut from, illegal dumping of hazardous waste, alter-ego employers, PAC fund violations, criminal and unethical misuse of collective bargaining agreements, licentious personal financial gain because of ones elected position, Insurance fraud schemes, Training fund fraud, Pension fraud, etc., I could on and on. I must emphasize that this activity is not limited to Buffalo, New York and is quite universal.

I cannot say that one investigator hired by the Inspector General has ever been remiss is his pursuit of justice. I do however point out what I have previously stated about the necessary level for charges filing and add to that I general lack of understanding of applicable Labor and Environmental laws. In one case that comes to mind I pointed out numerous labor and fiduciary violations by a union official to the assigned investigator, He responded by saying that he sees nothing wrong with that type of activity and that he views that as business as usual. This is quite common and many investigators continue to rely on informants alone and with the current financial restraints that they have been placed under, have but little choice. This coupled with the Laborers International union general council having to view and sign off on all financial requests by the Inspector General's office a strategy for defeat. How can one investigate oneself without attempting to clear oneself. Clearly the Official Laborers International Union response to my testimony before the House of Representatives subcommittee on Crime is a perfect example of this. In an effort to paint himself as the person behind the mob cleanup and at the same time protect himself from those that have placed him in the midst of LCN activity, Arthur A. Coia saw fit to attempt to discredit me. I wonder how many thousands of dollars was spent in an attempt to sway sentiment and paint me as a witness to an invasion by Martians and not to what I reported about the LCN and all those that I witnessed under its umbrella. I have no problem with the Coia affront, I do however question that LIUNA funds were utilized by the very people that acknowledged mob control and up until December 27, 1996 paid my wages. You cannot have it both ways, If we are to believe what Arthur Coia states about his O'Hare airport meeting with John Serpico and the late Chicago crime fame Capo Vince Solano, then why did Coia provide Serpico new responsibilities after this meeting took place. If Coia were truly interested in cleansing the LCN and its control of the International ands its sub-structure then as the President of the International Union he has an obligation to the membership to come clean and tell all. I for one will forgive him, but I cannot forgive this game of purging out some LCN activity in LIUNA and hoping that time will play a favorable hand and save those others who that are close friends or related.

If the Justice Department allows this self cleansing to continue then it must recognize that the agreement time restraints need to be extended. Much more needs to be done to insure the rights of the membership and that the statements about success are not the words of those in the know but the echo of the public relations effort that has cost more than a million dollars of membership money.



I must also point out that statements of mine (FBI-302's) have been faxed to reporters. This disturbs me greatly but what confuses me even more is the fact that information that could easily lead to the discovery of my new identity and location have also ended up in the hands of one or more reporters. I have gone to great lengths to avoid compromise and this leak is quite unnerving. When I first learned of it I tried to downplay its importance based primarily on the fact that the leak was to reporters who in all likelihood are probably not linked to anyone that would like to have me disappear. Bust the more I thought about it the more I began to wonder just how far the revelation had traveled. Were the reporter(s) a singular incident or have others (especially current LIUNA officials) also become privy to my location? Can I in good conscience afford to place my wife and her child in harms way! This disclosure has placed me in a quandary with my wanting to protect my family on one hand and divorce her (She cannot leave Massachusetts because of a court order pertaining to her child) and giving up the life I have come to know on the other. On December 27, 1996 I sent Doug Gow a letter informing him of my predicament and with it my resignation from performing future services. I unfortunately do not have any financial savings to fall back on nor for that matter even needed employment.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ronald M. Fino

Learned that houses built were also supplied with equipment and construction supplies from signatory employers. This was also done for Larry’s son Jeff. At his home on Belismo drive.

The Diorio owned 26 Front Street Restaurant’s licenses and permits were handled by the Mayor of Newburgh because of his relationship with Larry Diorio. Diorio also took care of the local police department and hired many off duty officers as security for the restaurant. A labor by the name of Patrick Patramone won a case against Diorio a few years back and be be of assistance.

Larry and his brother Bobby have had a fallen out and are not as close as they used to be. I was told that if we do a record search on the Asbestos company that we will discover that it also availed itself to non-union personnel and was given favored treatment by Local 17

If we check the names of employers that have worked on the training facility we will discover that employer trustees of the funds also provided services.

Att: Thomas Vinton,

Dear Tom

After talking to LIUNA members that I personally know and other sources that have knowledge about Cosa Nostra activity involving locals 6A, 17, 18A, 20, 29, 147, 235, 445, 731, 958, 970, 1010, 1018, 1042, 1175 and the Pavers and Rammers District Council, I believe that the easiest approach to gathering documented labor violations and sources that will publicly cooperate would be:

Make contact with a representative of the New York State Division of Unemployment and get the names and addresses of laid off employees for the companies that I have listed. Many of these employees are not members to any LIUNA local and have performed work covered the jurisdiction of the laborers locals. In many cases many of these workers have tried to join the union and talked to Business Managers and Business Agents and were rejected. The non-union employees are more willing to cooperate than the union members because they do not face economic reprisals. In almost all cases the shop stewards are aware and because of their connections to the business managers and shop stewards accept responsibility and state that the union was not aware of the activity. This problem can be overcome by checking the steward reports and the fact that many non-union employees have seen and can testify to the union officials visiting the jobs and knowing that the non -union employees and non-signatory sub-contractor employers are present. Many of the non-union workers are aware of employees working on union officials and Cosa Nostra members homes and businesses. They are also required to purchase stag tickets from either the shop steward or other LIUNA members that are present on the project. They can point out (especially in the demolition business) illegal removing and discarding of toxic waste. If you find difficulty in making a contact with the New York State Unemployment division, please let me know and I can try and put you in touch with someone that can help.

Dear Tom,

I have reached out for a friend of mine that works for the DEC and I am going to try and find out the names of any laborers that have filed discrimination charges for the respective locals that you are interested in. I have also contacted a friend of mine who is contacting someone who will probably be aware of the old Nynex project in White Plains.

As I explained in our conversation this morning, Lawrence Diorio and his brother Robert used laborers to perform services on their homes and the home of relatives. The homes are located on Anna Place in I believe Marlboro, New York and on Diorio Way in Milton. The source I have is a close friend from another union and he is going to continue to try and find out what he can. He believes that Robert Diorio may be out of the Asbestos business and is building homes in the area. I have also been told that Larry Diorio is quite close to Buffalo LCN members John Catanzaro and Frank BiFulco and is the target of a current FBI investigation. I have also been told that work performed at the training center would be let without bid to employers that are close to Larry Diorio and his father Lorenzo. I will try and find out the names of these employers if you want me too.

Re: the NLRB charges, some of the charging LIUNA members have moved and here is the new telephone numbers:

Dear Bill, Even though I have been trying to keep my hours of work down as well as my total expense. The Video tapes will bolster my testimony.

Dear Bill, Besides what I learned directly from Art Coia Jr., I am aware of substantial additional information about Coia's business dealings and his connection to the LCN. Much of this came from Coia Sr., and government investigators. I know of some witnesses and that a paper trail is available. An ex-DOL investigator by the name of Gil Hightert had some time ago informed me of physical support for my allegations of Coia Jr., as well as additional violations (involvement with Santo Traffacante, Plantation and Gateway building, Raymond Patriccia Jr., Pacozzi, Molocone, Orlando Trucking, Viking Olds, Cocheri and so on., I am also aware of the Coia portion of the RICO complaint. Ray Maria, should be aware of some of these areas. My knowledge of current violations is from FBI agents, DOL Investigators and the RICO complaint.

June 3, and June 4, Drafted report about Locals 1030 and 21, included potential witnesses and sources. Called sources for possible information about both locals and current activity. Talked to Ron Goldstock about Joe Coffey and he will get back. Learned that a Patterson based Asbestos removal company was illigally removing asbestos at the Morristown N.J. city hall. Nesco Asbestos Control Corp. utilized Local 1030 laborers. A Nesco official by the name of Chris Kubiak is a close associate of Manny Riggi. I will not look at this right now, because word could possibly leak back to Nesco or Riggi. Once this investigation is made public, I recommend that some one review this project.

June 5, Talked to source Leonard Capizzi, and discussed current activity in New Jersey. He had more knowledge about New York City and other areas but does know people that will help us with Local 21 and maybe 1030. He is going to get back to me. Talked to more personal friends about 1030 and 21 activity and they will get back. I was told that Local 21 has used OSHA to keep a couple non-union contractors in line. I am going to check OSHA records to see if their are any potential witnesses.
