Society wants organized crime,prof savs
By PAM ALLOWAY Staff Reporter
Society not only wants, but supports organized crime that has leaked into legitimate businesses, according to a report in the United States Department of Justice.
--national corporation. However, although the syndicate was national in scope, he said its involvement was extensive in certain parts of the country.
"Organized crime serves the public's needs," Emil Tonkovik said yesterday. "The public wants organized crime and the things they have to offer. It's involved in glamorous things and people want these."
Tonkovich, who worked in the organized crime section of the department of Justice for four years, spoke to a nearly full classroom at a law school noon forum. The forum, in June 2015, was censored by the Student Bar Association.
Tonkovk emphasized the syndicate's expansion into more and more legitimate businesses. No longer limited to traditional criminal activity such as gambling, loan sharking, prostitution and narcotics, he said the
Tonkovich said he was involved in two cases in these relatively new areas for the Mafia.
Mafia had expanded into union activity and the entertainment field.
He was involved recently in the Roy Williams case. Williams is the president of the Teamsatz Union who supports this year for bribery of a public official.
THE OTHER CASE Tonkovich was involved in concerned the syndicate's hidden influences and skimming of profits of the Tropicana hotel casino in Las Vegas. In both cases, Tonkovich investigated leading to the indictments.
Because of the widespread involvement of the syndicate, Tonkovich said the Department of Justice was not a part of the case. He said that neither money nor manpower was the problem, but that society's condoning it was. The Justice Department employs 400 attorneys, 100 judges and 300 lawyers in the organized crime section.
Tonkovich said organized crime should be thought of in terms of a
He said the Chicago organization was the most powerful in the country. The Chicago "family" alleged controls all roads to the West Coast from Cleveland to the West Coast.
Tankovich said that all major cities allegedly have one family that coordinates the syndicate's operations, with the new New York City, which has allegedly five.
A "family" is the organized crime syndicate in a city, which is identified by the original founding family's name. For example, the organized crime network known as Toolkitov worked frequently, is alledged to the Tony Accaro family.
THE SYNDICATE has a very complex structure, he said, ranging from a commission of eight or nine bosses to approximately 20 bosses who are in charge of the myriad of under-bosses and street workers who are found throughout
individual cities, according to locality and specialization.
Tonkovik said organized crime got its start during Prohibition in the '30s and has grown to become an expansive and perpetual network where anyone "knocked off" at the top is quickly replaced.
Tonkovich said one of the questions he had asked was whether his job was dangerous, when his job was dangerous.
"Not at all. In fact, it's safer to prosecute organized criminals than to defend them because they know there is always another prosecutor down the line and they have been known to kill witnesses and their own attorneys."
TONKOVICH, who is the director of the Juvenile Clinic at the Law School and teaches classes on criminal procedure, said he left the Department of Justice earlier this year because he wanted to try his hand at teaching. However, he said he was very fond of his former job.
"I loved it and I may still go back. It was frustrating at times but I felt a dedication to contributing to society."
