    Prosecutors: Mob infiltrated construction trade BY PATRICIA HURTADO, New York Newsday
    Kelley said Moscatiello even went so far as to found his own union local, Local 530 of the Operative Plasterers and Cement Masons Union, and served as its president between 1978 and 1991. That local eventually forced out another legitimate local, he said.

    Even after Moscatiello went to prison in 1991 on state charges of bribing a labor official, he maintained control of Local 530 through hand-picked associates, Kelley said.

    Moscatiello was also indicted last year on federal racketeering, extortion and fraud charges related to the Genovese family's control of Locals 14 and 15 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Kelley said. That case is still pending.
