The [[Gambino Crime Family]] is a prominent [[La Cosa Nostra]] crime family that was reportedly involved in the alleged organized crime penetration of [[Music Corporation of America|MCA]]. Members of the Gambino family were specifically related to the [[Music Corporation of America|MCA]] investigation, with many reportedly picked up in [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] wiretaps.[1] [[Marvin Rudnick]], [[Thomas Gates]], and [[Richard Stavin]] all believed [[Music Corporation of America|MCA]] had been penetrated by organized crime, based on these wiretaps. The wiretaps also indicated that [[Eugene Giaquinto]], then president of [[Music Corporation of America|MCA]] home entertainment division, enjoyed a special relationship with [[John Gotti]], a well-known figure associated with the Gambino Crime Family.[1] [[Bill Hamilton]], president of [[INSLAW]], believed that the [[Wackenhut Corporation]]-[[Cabazon Indian Reservation]] Joint Venture was connected to government-sanctioned drug trafficking and money laundering by organized crime groups like the Gambino Family, with [[Michael Riconosciuto]]'s role being to help these groups utilize the [[National Security Agency|NSA]]'s bank surveillance version of [[PROMIS]] to launder drug proceeds.[1] --- ## Footnotes [1] Seymour, Cheri. *The Last Circle: Danny Casolaro’s Investigation into the Octopus and the PROMIS Software Scandal*.
