I am trying to find a forum/advice/options for this case. I am not sure if it is even too late, but I am putting it out for as many people to see as possible.
Bare facts 56 year old man, who is a bookie, pays his taxes as a professional gambler. This is a one man operation. The man lives in a middle class neighborhood, his wife is a Registered Nurse and has two daughters. He has made his living this way for 25+ years.
The State Police INVADED his home in 2003, confiscating tapes/records from his makeshift office in the attic. They also confiscated some weapons, some were collectibles and some were firearms.
This is not to dispute if this man is guilty of posession of firearms or illegal gaming. The prosecution in cohorts with the State Police Officer has succeeded in representing this case as affiliated with the MAFIA? The Police Officer who initiated the warrant from a CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT and a "CONTROLLED CALL" made to the defendants gaming line, neither which was either verified, demonstrated or produced, has made inflammatory and false statements inferring that the defendant is affiliated with the MAFIA, the actual words "La Cosa Nostra" are used by him and recorded in the court appeal document. This Officer also claims he is going to "run Organized Crime out of Boston" Well that would be great but Angiulo went away like 20 years ago. And my questions are how is it legal for this Officer to just use a stereotype/profile to associate Organized Crime with somone just because he is a Bookie and maybe 20 years ago and before that Italians and Bookies and Mafia hung out in the same circle or in some cases were definitely connected. Also this same Officer & the Prosecution declined to reveal the Informant because they feared the INFORMANT would be MURDERED Or Physically Harmed (they stated this in the document as well) What grounds do they have to make such a statement and how can it be recorded in the document when the defendant has no history, no record of violent crime, the informant Could be narrowed down to 1 out of 3 people, none of those people were threatened, hurt and all 3 signed Affadavits stating they were not an Informant. The judge suppressed the case, and the government overturned the JUDGES decision and time is running out.
The documents are available online please feel free to GOOGLE Gregory Tzannos and read the appeal document yourself. Please feel free to forward this to whomever or whatever agency, person, entity could help. Reading the documents are pretty frightening. Once you are a defendant in court, you are not a reputable human being anymore, being a Bookie that pays taxes, does not make you a murderer or a Mafioso. It is like they defined who he is by what he does which is PROFILING & STEREOTYPING and these Police Officers , this one in particular features himself on a website called MOB BUSTERS (check it out), This Police Officer is 6'5 and 300 lbs of muscle and screams all the time (can we say ROID RAGE) . But his word and inferences are accepted and respected and documented, why, what do we know about him apart from his profession. Please read the document and keep in mind that the defendant is just your average guy with a little dirt under the carpet.
Thank you for your help
If you Google the original story from the newspaper is there, also his listing a a member of the Wang Center for Arts, His Photo is in his WarBirds Bio, and the AmericanMafia.Com and check out he Salute to the MOB Busters and see the Officers name there in all his glory.
