Nice, Springfield has been Torn the F**k down by the feds and LE ! And all because of Pure Greed and a BS document of snitching, Or dry snitching whatever on the part of Mr.Bruno going back to Artie when he wanted more money from everyone and everything ,and plotted, Schemed ,Had Arilotta installed and the rest is history ! The Feds are literally just Raping and pillaging these guys and every business and asset . I wonder what Scibelli is doing ? He had wiretap evidence against him linking him to to alotta crimes but doesn't seem to be under to much pressure , So it seems ? I wonder who's ratting, Who ratted on the MC that supposedly held/holds a majority stake in the Mardi Gras strip.A guy up there cant get 2 mins of setting anything up without they're doors being busted down LOL......Its like Springfield Pt.6 ,And with all the recent activities and past I thought there was barely a thing left or anyone left !? Literally being stripped to the bone

Multiple sources familiar with the investigations say the common thread between the two raids is purported Russian cash buyers to whom the owners disclosed they had a second set of books. The buyers were undercover IRS agents, sources told The Republican. The investigations are separate, however.

The lead agency was the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, indicating the alleged basis for the search warrant, granted by a federal magistrate judge, is financial wrongdoing.

While Mardi Gras owner James Santaniello has not been prosecuted for organized crime offenses for decades, he has been mob-adjacent for equally as long.

As he amassed an impressive portfolio of Greater Springfield strip joints, restaurants, poker machine outfits and real estate holdings, Santaniello, of Longmeadow, could scarcely get out from under organized crime figures who nipped at his heels for kickbacks, or “profit-sharing” partnerships. That’s according to court records reviewed by The Republican over years of research.

The IRS, FBI and the Massachusetts State Police Organized Crime Unit descended on the strip club on Taylor Street as well as Victor Bruno’s Adolfo’s Ristorante on Worthington Street. Agents and troopers also hit Santaniello’s and Bruno’s homes in Longmeadow and Connecticut, respectively.

IRS officials posed as Russian cash buyers and these idiots showed them a 2nd set of books for the businesses thinking it was legit . This is about the 3rd or 4th time IRS agents/Officials posed as Russian buyers in different cases OC and Non OC in greater New England and they fall for it over n over again . That guy up there they call the Codfather who's Portuguese and owned every fishing boat, The IRS did the very same thing and had him showing a 2nd set of books and bragging on recordings of his power etc..
