The Gambino Crime Family is a prominent La Cosa Nostra crime family that was reportedly involved in the alleged organized crime penetration of MCA. Members of the Gambino family were specifically related to the MCA investigation, with many reportedly picked up in FBI wiretaps.[1]

Marvin Rudnick, Thomas Gates, and Richard Stavin all believed MCA had been penetrated by organized crime, based on these wiretaps. The wiretaps also indicated that Eugene Giaquinto, then president of 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 NSA's bank surveillance version of PROMIS to launder drug proceeds.[1]
