Salvatore Tagliaferro was part of the 1997 case that targeted hijackers and thieves operating out of the Portofino Soccer Club in Flatlands. Most were associated with the Gambino's and a few were associated with the Luchese family or Decavalcante family.

I saw that too, It came up from an old article from 2011 Joseph Olivieri sending emails to his lawyer from Fort Dix outlining plans to divert members from the UBC to the newly formed and unsanctioned Amalgamated carpenters local 157 to break the control of the federal monitor . Lmao, Tell investigators it's just Yankees tickets ! They managed to divert almost 1,000 members from the UBC into Amalgamated in like 16 months
