THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Buffalo, NY is and always will be one of the most corrupt cities in America because there are too many people in high places who have family ties to drug trafficking, gambling, and murder, that goes back to at least 3 generations of Italian mobsters who's close knit relatives have managed to reach every position of power available in Buffalo: Mayor, Police Chief and District Attorney not to mention countless Judges. I'm not going to mention any names but this is going to have to be dismantled on a federal level. These people run the city with no fear of prosecution. Their nephews, uncles and cousins run around North Buffalo, Kenmore and the West Side of Buffalo dealing major cocaine and heroin, but they always seem to escape the yearly FBI round ups….

His next court appearance is this Friday, and it is once again a TBST (to be spoken to) per ontariocourtdates.ca.

I was able to confirm that Borrelli is on the docket by using his age as a search term. [snip]

There were no virtual proceedings in Borrelli's 9:00 am matter that day, July 12, 2024. Even one trial coordinator told me in the mid-afternoon that although it was on the 9:00 am docket in a particular virtual courtroom, the matter wasn't heard and could not be located with other details. At that point I had spent 4.5 hrs. on Zoom.

Borrelli's matter is no longer searchable in the database of court cases. Possible reasons: court case was completed; the matter "may be subject to access restrictions imposed by legislation or a court order restricting access"; the court case is no longer an active case, which simply means that a future court date has yet to be set (but a future date is usually entered within a day or two). I'm going to contact the courthouse for more information about the case.

Your instincts, [OcSleeper], again, are serving you well.

Iavarone's Information Sworn Date was Dec. 3, 2021.

He has a 10:00 am matter being heard tomorrow (Aug. 30) re: a trial continuation. I recently discovered when I went to a Toronto courtroom that hardly anyone is inside them, save the presiding justice, the clerks, the court reporters, and the odd Toronto Police Service officer. Almost all Ontario Court of Justice criminal matters throughout the province are being done via Zoom; so journalists themselves, e.g., Nicole O'Reilly, are following the matters virtually.

I have reason to believe she'll report on Iavarone's trial at some point.

…Snip…
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Tripi said in court Friday that information was uncovered that led to another investigation that caused a “conflict” for Soehnlein.

Tripi did not describe the new information or the conflict. But the judge told Tripi that Soehnlein and his ethics counsel, Brian Melber, should be provided information before Vilardo decides how to respond to the government motion.

“I want Mr. Soehnlein and Mr. Melber to have everything they need to know about the disqualification motion,” Vilardo said.

Vilardo called it a matter of fairness that prosecutors turn over “everything you are alleging against Mr. Soehnlein. Everything.”

….

For the rest of the article see: https://buffalonews.com/news/local/crim ... -top-story

Interesting that Soehnlein was a partner at Lippes Mathias since 2019 and an associate since 2013… but left in September to start his own firm.



Remember Soehnlein Soehnlein was allowed to withdrawal from the case because of a conflict back in July. The reason for withdrawal was not in any publicly available court documents.

Soehnlien was then was allowed to rejoin the case in September.

Government willing to severe Bongiovanni from Gerace case if they go to trial by Feb. 8. Wonder if this means Soehnlein was removed? If so it will be interesting to see if anything comes from the impanelled grand jury that brought light to this alleged conflict.

Court finds no possibility Gerace’s lawyer committed crime in Judge Sinatra’s recusal

See: https://buffalonews.com/news/local/crim ... -top-story

This is the right ruling to protect a persons right to a robust defense.... It does however create some thorny issues, and Judge Vilardo recognizes this:



Here is Judge Vilardo’s Ruling
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... .889.0.pdf

This might be some relevant information: Buffalo Police Officers Christopher M Mordino cousin to Judge Sinatra and Michael A Mordino is Uncle to Judge Sinatra.

See: https://openoversight.com/officers/84313

See also: https://openoversight.com/officers/84314

Here is the other court document indicating Mordino is Sinatra's uncle: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63 ... es-v-hicks

See also: https://buffalonews.newspapers.com/arti ... 139607189/

This means Michael Mordino is brother to Camille “Mordino’ Sinatra - Judge Sinatra’s mother and brother to Leonard Mordino - Mob Associate convicted of in Wing murder and for drug trafficking. Camille, Leonard, and Michael’s father is Salvatore Immordino who is from Pittston, PA. I wonder if there is any relations to the Imordino's in the Utica area.

Don't forget Camille and John Sinatra Sr. had the who is who of future mobsters/mob associates involved with her wedding.

Sam was part of the Torina Drug Ring (probably oversaw it). It was one of the largest mob connected cocaine rings busted in WNY. This ring worked closely with the Buffalo guyes Vegas and Luccheses in NYC. As part of this investigation not only were Naples and Torina's phones bugged, but also the coffee shop where they met on Grant Street and Falzone's union paid Cadilac. Feds were hoping it would lead to case against the Todaros and Falzone but that never materialized.

Dead though correct?

I know Alfonso Napoli died in 2000. He was a made man... He had sons Pasquale "Patti" and Salvatore "Sammy." I have not seen obituarires for them, so I don't think they are dead. If Sammy Naples is still alive, and I think he is, he is around 87 years old.
