This is interesting timing on this story. This information came out in when it was marked into evidence during a mob trial. In the run up to the selection for the ’08 US election we find that the mob wanted to whack Rudy Guiliani when he was a prosecutor.
From the Smoking Gun:
A top echelon mob informant told the FBI that the Mafia’s ruling commission once discussed killing Rudolph Giuliani, but that despite support for the hit from John Gotti and Carmine “The Snake” Persico, the proposal was voted down. Details about the alleged murder scheme against Giuliani, then a New York federal prosecutor, were provided to the FBI in September 1987 by snitch Gregory Scarpa, a bloodthirsty Colombo family captain. A memo memorializing Scarpa’s claim was placed in the gangster’s voluminous informant file, a copy of which was marked into evidence yesterday at the criminal trial of Lindley DeVecchio, a former FBI agent facing charges that he leaked confidential information to Scarpa and helped arrange underworld rubouts.
Will Rudy seize upon this in favour of his nonstop tape loop of “Hi, 9/11. How the 9/11 are you 9/11?”
