Terra Firma Construction Management & General Contracting LLC. and Kent Building Systems, Inc. of committing
the crime of ENTERPRISE CORRUPTION, in violation of Penal Law Section (460.201)a), as follows:

The defendants, in New York County and elsewhere, from in or about January 1997,through on or about the date of this indictment, having knowledge of the existence of a criminal enterprise, to wit, the Lucchese Organized Crime Family of La Cosa Nostra Construction Group (hereinafter, the "Lucchese Construction Group"), and the nature of its activities and being
 
2
employed by and associated with that Criminal Enterprise, intentionally conducted and participated in the affairs of said Enterprise by participating in a pattern of criminal activity.
The Criminal Enterprise
The Lucchese Construction Group was a group of Lucchese Organized Crime Family members and associates, construction industry contractors, and union officials, including all of the Defendants, and others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, sharing a common purpose of engaging in criminal conduct, associated in an ascertainable structure, that was distinct from a pattern of criminal activity, and with a continuity of existence, structure, and criminal purpose beyond the scope of individual criminal incidents.
 
The Purpose of the Criminal Enterprise
The common purpose of the Lucchese Construction Group was to make money for its members by engaging in, among other things, criminal schemes related to the construction industry, including price fixing, bid rigging and other anticompetitive arrangements. Among the bids that members of the Enterprise rigged included those on construction sub-contracts involving New York City School Construction Authority projects at Intermediate School "IS") 93 in Queens County, Public School ("PS") 33 in Queens County, and IS 254 in Bronx County; subcontracts for rehabilitation projects with the New York City Department of Transportation for the 59th Street Bridge and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority for the Triboro Bridge; the renovation of the Park Central Hotel in New York County; and the construction of the Doral Arrowwood conference center in Westchester County.
In addition to being awarded rigged bids, construction industry contractor members of the Enterprise "contractor enterprise members"), through the influence and control of union official members of the enterprise, were able to realize lower labor costs. The corrupt arrangements involved various construction trade unions, including Builders and Allied Craftsmen Local Union No. 1 New York ("BAC Local 1 ")-the bricklayers union for the New
3
York City area, and Local 608 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America the carpenters' union for much of New York County. The reduced labor costs realized by contractor enterprise members greatly enhanced their competitiveness in the construction industry in the City and State of New York-amounting to the fixing of prices and placed legitimate construction industry contractors who were not a part of the Lucchese Construction Group at a disadvantage. The projects on which contractor enterprise members enjoyed such a competitive advantage included IS 93, PS 33, the Park Central Hotel and luxury apartments at 354 Broadway in New York County.
In return for rigging bids, fixing prices, and engaging in other anticompetitive arrangements, the Lucchese Organized Crime Family members of the Enterprise received a minimum of five percent of each contract price, as a "mob tax," paid by the contractor enterprise members. Additionally, contractor enterprise members were required to employ made members of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family as "no show" or "no work" employees, primarily as a means of maintaining an ostensibly legitimate source of income, but also to provide medical coverage and pensions for these individuals. A "no show" job meant literally that the person was paid for not being present at a job site, and a "no work" job meant that the person would be at a construction site not working, but engaging in other Lucchese Organized Crime Family schemes.
Further, some contractor enterprise members, particularly defendant Steven Chait Osserman of Kent Building Systems Inc., a modular construction company, acted as a front for Steven L. Crea who: would otherwise not be permitted to conduct business with the School Construction Authority. Moreover, Crea required certain contractors to purchase modular construction units from Kent in order to conduct business in New York State.
4
Structure of the Criminal Enterprise
At all times relevant to this indictment, Lucchese Organized Crime Family members and associates of the Lucchese Construction Group influenced and controlled contractor enterprise members of the Lucchese Construction Group and union official members of the Lucchese Construction Group. In addition, through their association with the Lucchese Organized Crime Family members and associates of the Lucchese Construction Group, the contractor enterprise members of the Lucchese Construction Group influenced the union official members of the Lucchese Construction Group. Below is a list of the Lucchese Construction Group Members by their affiliation with either the Lucchese Organized Crime Family, participating contractor enterprise members, or union official members.
I. Lucchese Organized Crime Family Members and Associates of the Lucchese Construction Group
The Lucchese Organized Crime Family was part of a nationwide criminal organization known by various names including the "Mafia" and "La Cosa Nostra." It operated through entities called "Families," of which the Lucchese Organized Crime Family was one. Each family was run by a "boss." The head of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family was Vittorio Amuso who is serving a life sentence. The "boss" and "acting boss" were assisted by an "underboss" and a counselor or "consigliere." During times relevant to the indictment, defendant Steven L. Crea held the titles of "underboss" and "acting boss" of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family.
Beneath these executives, the Lucchese Organized Crime Family structure consisted of "crews." Each crew was headed by a Lucchese Organized Crime Family member variously referred to as "capo," "captain," or "caporegime," and was comprised of members and associates of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family. Members, also referred to as "soldiers,"
5
"wiseguys," and "friends," were "made" at formal induction ceremonies. Associates, which included among other individuals, contractors and union officials, although not formally inducted as members of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family, regularly participated in and advanced its affairs.
Defendant Steven L. Crea engaged in criminal activities including the falsification of business records, the rigging of bids and the corruption of union officials. In addition Crea held an undisclosed interest in and managed the business affairs of Kent Building Systems Inc., and oversaw and coordinated the affairs of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family and the Lucchese Construction Group and received the proceeds thereof.
Defendant Dominic Truscello and defendant Joseph Tangorra were Captains in the Lucchese Organized Crime Family. Truscello was the Captain of the Prince Street Crew of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family. He assisted Crea in the direction of the Lucchese Construction Group, supervised his crew of soldiers and associates and received a portion of the proceeds of the pattern of criminal activity involving his crew members--soldier Joseph Datello and associate Sean Richard-involving the labor savings at the Park Central Hotel and the rigged bids at the Doral Arrowwood project. In addition to receiving cash payments, Truscello was placed on the payroll of a contractor so that he could qualify for a pension that he was not entitled to from the Mason Tenders' District Council. Tangorra was a Captain of a Brooklyn based Crew of the Lucchese Organized Crime Family. He assisted Crea in the direction of the Lucchese Construction Group by supervising other members of the Lucchese Construction Group who were soldiers and associates.

Inc., over the project at 354 Broadway, and also received the proceeds of rigged bids involving projects at IS 254 in the Bronx.
Defendant Joseph Datello was a soldier in Dominic Truscello's Prince Street Crew. Datello engaged in the rigging of bids at the IS 254 project and the Doral Arrowwood conference center, received a benefit from the corrupt influencing of labor officials involved in the Park Central Hotel Project, and collected the "mob tax." Defendants Philip DeSimone and Arthur Zambardi were soldiers in Lucchese Captain Joseph DiNapoli's crew who were engaged in the rigging of bids involving the IS 254 project, the settlement of the dispute involving the project at 354 Broadway, and the collection of the "mob tax." Zambardi also engaged in price fixing and corruptly influencing union officials for contractor enterprise member Saul Heifetz and others.
Defendant Anthony Pezzullo was a soldier in the Lucchese Organized Crime Family Captain Joseph Giampa's crew, who engaged in the rigging of bids involving Commercial Brick Inc., corruptly influenced union officials for the Frantellizzis, Saul Heifetz and others, and collected the "mob tax."

Heifetz paid Mikolaj "Nick" Poniatowski, who ran defendant Mietek Mason Contractors Inc., for the use of his non-union labor force on union and public work projects. In addition, Heifetz and Poniatowski falsified certified payroll reports that were filed with the .New York City School Construction Authority ("SCA") to conceal their use of non-union labor and their violation of the union and the prevailing wage requirements.
