Mob reporter Jerry Capeci of the website Gang Land News writes in a story posted Thursday:
“Did the Justice Department just orchestrate a bait-and-switch scam on a gullible, eager-to-believe citizenry? Six weeks after the feds loudly proclaimed that they are still pursuing mobsters with a vengeance, the FBI has quietly cut the number of New York squads that investigate the notorious Five Families.”
Capeci, a former N.Y. Daily News reporter, reports that there used to be an FBI squad for each of New York’s five crime families. Now it’s down to three.
“It’s not just re-organizing either,” Capeci writes. “The total number of mob-busting agents is also cut by some 25 per cent, Gang Land has learned.
Gang Land reports that the cuts mean the N.Y. FBi only has about 45 agents investigating roughly 700 mobsters and another 7,000 associates.
The report comes just weeks after the Justice Department, with much fanfare, announced the biggest mobster round up in FBI history after it indicted 127 people in the Northeast.
