FBI agents were at Buffalo City Hall on Wednesday morning as part of a public corruption probe.

The FBI is working with investigators from U.S. Housing and Urban Development and the IRS as part of a court-authorized search, FBI spokeswoman Maureen Dempsey said.

"We have not made any arrests," Dempsey said

Intersting, one of his contacts owned a stripclub in the buffalo area and called him for help with a stripper who overdosed and died. Sounds like something out of the sopranos

From the first count of the indictment section 57 of Joseph Bongiovanni in Buffalo:

…(x) defendant stated that he kept a DEA case file in his house because it was an old case and he thought it would come up again and the defendant wanted to verify everything was on the up and up.; (xi) the defendant stated that he knew there was an ongoing investigation of IOC which is why the defendant kept the file; (xii) the defendant stated that Peter Millitello was the source in the DEA Case Number C2-13-0026, but Millitello was arrested for selling fentanyl and heroin; and (xiii) the defendant stated that he learned about a current investigation with a DOJ OIG SA asked him about the subject of the investigation during and interview earlier in the year.

Here are links to that arrest and case:

Militello has long been a named associated with narcotics and the Buffalo Mob:

Militello and Simpson investigated for cocaine distribution with Sardinia Drug Ring

Coconspirators in this drug ring had known ties to the Buffalo Mafia.

Some of the coconspirators had been involved in the mob run telemarketing companies in Buffalo. "Gallo, who was 15 when he was murdered, worked in the Logik telemarketing firm with some of the dope dealers in the Sardina organization.” Here is the article:

Wasn't there a Todaro relative that owns/operates a strip club that was just arrested a couple of months ago?

[Moscone65]

Not sure, let me know if you find out the name.

Not sure, let me know if you find out the name.

Peter Gerace owns the Pharaohs strip club. Here is an I-9 Case against Pharaoh’s Gentleman's Club. In it there are several names of people with no I-9’s who are alleged to be connected to the mafia: Cardinale, Alessi, Gerace, Licata
