No one is denying they Mafia connections are left out often. But the difference is we know Farese is a Colombo member he's been identified as one for years now. As I said twice already there's no known connections to the Mafia in this case that anyone can point out right now it's just Italians and gambling.
Agreed, and Farese (as you stated) was/is a "documented" member of organized crime according to law enforcement records dating back decades. So imagine fellas who don't even have such a notorious reputation? Law enforcement officials often times become very skeptical and hesitant to include the words OC in any indictment.
But again, we'll see what shakes out down the road a bit.
