A congressional subcommittee on organized crime was held today in Las Vegas with allegations that the Mafia was controlling casinos across the city. Thomas Green, high profile attorney represented alleged high ranking members of the criminal underworld such as PR_Rep, harison, Svent and many more. The allegations accuse defendants have been controlling gambling unions in order to put pressure on non-mob casinos. Every defendant has plead the fifth during questioning. Attorney Thomas Green claims the allegations are meant to target his clients and demands proof. Two witnesses were set to testify during the subcommittee but decided not to the day of. With lack of any concrete evidence many believe the senators were in search of clout and call the subcommittee a hoax. No charges has been filed as of yet.
FBI "Attends" Funeral
Corvo Corleone, alleged Caporegime of The Line Criminal Organization was murdered outside his home in Downtown, LA earlier this week and the funeral was something out of a Mafia movie. Hundreds of criminals and upper echelon mobsters from across the country attended the funeral of Corvo Corleone including the FBI Organized Crime Division, taking pictures of anyone and everyone in attendance. Notable attendees were Meadow, alleged leader of The Line and Tyki_Mikk supposed Godfather-Chairman of Los Angeles. FBI has begun investigations into the murder but has yet to gain traction in the case. FBI spokesperson says this, "Whenever high ranking members are gathered it is our duty to keep tabs. Many of these people are rarely seen in the first place so to see them in the open is an opportunity we can't pass up.".
Pasadena Sees Crime Spike
Pasadena, LA has seen a big spike in organized crime in recent days. FBI Organized Crime Divison has reported the rise of a new criminal enterprise operating in the city. The organization known as The Forsaken, allegedly headed by Falka with Right-Hand Man Yolo has been suspected to be part of large scale racketeering, including drugs, robberies, prostitution and much more. As the crime wave continues, FBI has reassured the public they will do whatever is in their power to "restore the peace in city". Many are doubtful as arrests have yet to be made, claiming the local law enforcement are on the payroll of the organization. Only time will tell what will happen in Pasadena.

As he read the newspaper line by line he smiled a bit as he was always happy to see his friend TommyVitale come out with new issues. He finished up the issue and rolled it up and handed it to his bodyguard to hold onto. He motioned for one of his men to bring a suitcase full of cash over to Tommy's office Nice issue and nice contests for the people, keep up the good work sir |

Thank you Tommy for this issue of the gazette, along with the generous rewards from the competition. Since Transistor kindly assisted with the prizes, I am curious if we can apply the winning funds I received onto the ongoing debt of MrKuku, making his total owed now somewhere in the region of $89,000,000. I know Lostboy would approve of this. |
