Mobsters may be guffawing from the Bronx to the Bowery over the trials and tribulations of one\u002Dtime nemesis Rudy Giuliani.
Now 60, the former Gambino enforcer who has claimed he played a role in more than 40 shootings is an anti-crime crusader, podcaster and author.“These guys didn’t make bad choices. These guys made pro-America choices,” the Queens native said.A Georgia grand jury indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants, including ex-New York City mayor Giuliani, over attempts to overturn the former commander-in-chief’s Georgia loss in the 2020 presidential election.
Georgia prosecutors used the Peach State’s version of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to argue that Trump and his co-defendants operated a “criminal organization” to conspire to overturn the vote’s results.Article content“This is insanity,” said Alite, who spent 10 years in a U.S. prison before being released in 2013.
“The reason why I am speaking up for Giuliani and Trump is because they’re not me. They’re not guys that did the wrong thing. They have no business being treated like this,” Alite said.RICO was passed into law in 1970 and was designed to shatter the Mafia’s stranglehold on wide swaths of the American economy. But until Giuliani became the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, it was a super-weapon no one knew how to use.
The Mob buster did, breaking the stranglehold of New York’s Five Families on industries like trucking, unions and the garment industry. Countless mobsters were sent to prison — including the crime families’ leadership.As a RICO survivor, Alite didn’t offer any advice to Trump or Giuliani. “What good advice can you give guys like Rudy Giuliani who’s been a crime-fighter his whole life, who cleaned up our whole city,” the former mobster said.
