Currently the FBI has 2 squads and 36 FBI agents chasing the 5 ny families
In Chicago they have one squad with 12 agents chasing the entire Chicago outfit

Looks like business will pick up for the N.Y. Families.

Listed below is a link to Chicago FBI that I posted a while back. Who knows for sure about all these figures?

Thanks for the info.

Ya as the chicago outfits criminal activities continue to dwindle they dont needs as many fbi agents to investigate them.

No there's not those 12 also investigate eastern european, cartels, and other froms of oc. Chicagos Italian mob is on it's very last legs.

My bad read it wrong. I have never even heard of eastern European crime in Chicago? By eastern European do they mean Russians?

Ok but I've never heard about those groups in Chicago. I know they're in Florida and New York.

i was thinking maybe polish?

Here's a question, just for laughs: If DiFronzio is indeed a "snitch," as some people suggest, what/whom do you think he's snitching on?

I don't think it would be the South Side crew. There simply are not enough arrests to warrant such a conclusion IMO.

I think--if he is, which is a big, big *if*--it would be on other organized crime: the Eastern Europeans, and probably particularly on the Middle Eastern operations that are potentially raising money for terrorist organizations.

That being said, I doubt he's a snitch. And the Outfit is so diminshed that he might not even really hear all that much about the above these days. Twenty years ago? He probably knew every thing that went down in the Chicago underworld. These days? Probably not.

Thanks Cheech. Jonnynonos & I have the right idea about the Outfit in 2013.
I can make a good argument either way about Johnny DiFronzo being a dry snitch. I am going to ask my father's former crimimal attorney's office a legal question.
The question is this: If the Government had indicted DiFronzo in the Family Secrets Case and he had been found 'not guilty', could the Government try him again concerning the same thing or would that constitute Double Jeapordy?
