Among those arrested in the joint FBI-Drug Enforcement Administration probe was a senior member of the Bonanno ruling administration, as well as capo Anthony “TG” Graziano, the father of “Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano.

Her ex-husband, ex-mob associate Hector Pagan, is now a DEA informant who gave the feds information that led to the massive sweep.

Anthony Graziano, 71, was released recently from prison but then quickly ensnared in an earlier DEA probe that predated yesterday’s developments.

In that previous case, Pagan reportedly wore a wire and secretly recorded conversations for the feds with his ex-father-in-law while discussing the collection of a loan-shark debt.

Graziano was indicted by Brooklyn federal prosecutors on those earlier charges just last week.

Yesterday, Bonanno ruling administration member, Vincent “Vinny TV” Badalamente, was charged with shaking down several restaurants and bars in Manhattan and Brooklyn and also allegedly “took over” a bar on Coney Island Avenue after its owner failed to pay back a debt, Brooklyn federal prosecutors said.

Bonanno capo Nicholas “Nicky Mouth” Santora was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and illegal gambling, according to an indictment unsealed yesterday    To read Click Here

Chicago mob thief,  Arthur “The Genius” Rachel

By STEVE WARMBIR, Chicago Sun-Times

Maybe “The Genius” isn’t so smart after all.

Arthur “The Genius” Rachel, a 73-year-old mob thief, was found guilty Thursday of racketeering and other crimes for planning to rob an armored car outside a west suburban bank and break into the home of a dead mob boss in Bridgeport.

Rachel is perhaps best known for stealing the 45-carat Marlborough Diamond and other baubles in 1980 from a London jewelry store.

“The Genius” was put in prison for that crime too, although the diamond was never recovered.

Rachel’s senior-citizen partner in crime in the Marlborough Diamond theft, Joseph Jerry “The Monk” Scalise, was arrested along with Rachel for these latest crimes, too.

Scalise pleaded guilty last week, along with another geriatric criminal, Robert “Bobby” Pullia, as part of plea deals. The three men could each face about 9 years in prison.

They might be old but that doesn’t mean they weren’t dangerous, authorities said.

“It only takes one functioning finger to pull the trigger of a gun,” federal prosecutor Amarjeet Bhachu said.

Bhachu praised the FBI agents on the case, led by Agent Christopher Smith, who tailed the three thieves for months. The old thieves were often a challenge to keep under surveillance, since they would pull over while driving, drive at a snail’s pace or turn around in parking lots to see if anyone was tailing them..

At one point, the FBI did aerial surveillance of the men.

Most damning, though, were hours of secretly recorded conversations from a bug the FBI had put in Scalise’s van.read more Click  Here
