FBI reduction in LCN investigation from 2000 to 2003

Ron Sacco and Giovanni Toracca were under investigation during that time and were both in San Francisco. I think it came out later that Sacco was an informant

Wasn't there the California organized crime report in 2002? Could that of stemmed from an FBI investigation into LCN in San Fran

Not sure but it could have went something like this:

FBI HQ: Is there (still) LCN activity in these cities (lists Houston, Dallas, San Fran)?

Field Offices: Not sure, let's open an investigation and check

**six months later**

Field Offices to HQ: No evidence of activity; cases closed

I would guess that's what they were

Yes. That report covered organized crime in general, not just LCN. And that report said San Francisco was dormant.

All it takes is for a known made guy to live or even stay in a city for a certain period of time. The field office normally responsible for monitoring him asks San Fran to keep an eye on him and they open up a case.

Yeah I wasn’t suggesting they were active just saying that’s might of been where the investigation came from
