Towers fell, mob schemes began - New York Daily News
Like the rats that infested the ruins of Ground Zero for a time, gangster-related companies were prevalent removing debris from inside the cleanup zone, wiping toxic dust off Trade Center artifacts and decontaminating apartments at Battery Park City.
The News has documented that an alleged mob associate wound up as general superintendent for one of the four major contractors hired to supervise the cleanup, a powerful position that investigators say allowed him to steer work to gangster pals.
Several firms were later accused of paying off corrupt officials of a union infiltrated by the Mafia to let them use cheaper nonunion help.------------------------------------------- posted 5:00 AM :: reference link ::
