MAFIA 'PUPPETS' By WILLIAM NEUMAN, New York Post
OUT TO DRY: Wiseguys under arrest yesterday for mobbing up the drywall industry.
"For over 25 years, the drywall industry has been a cash cow for the Genovese family, a free-flowing stream of money."
Moscatiello and the other alleged mobsters, including his brother in law, John Campanella, and his son, Louis Jr., were named in an 83-count indictment that detailed extortion, fraud and conspiracy charges.
The Genoveses used Local 530 as well as their ties to another union with a mob past, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, said U.S. Attorney David Kelley.
"The net result was huge payoffs to the mob," Kelley said, calling the local "a puppet for the mob."
The federal indictment - first reported on the front page of yesterday's Post - said the Genoveses found a number of ways to convert their union juice into cash.
