- A work of the United States government, published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the image page shows no third-party credit. Public domain in the United States under 17 U.S.C. § 105. The FBI serves the image at the cited URL; no copy is stored here.
The FBI image repository titles this entry “Jacob Shapiro” and captions it: “Mugshot of Jacob Shapiro, who was convicted in the Fur Dresser’s case. On May 5, 1944, he was sentenced to 15 years to life after being found guilty of conspiracy and extortion.” It appears on the FBI history page “Fur Dressers Case”. The repository lists the file at 16 KB, a small image.
The FBI does not say when the photograph was taken or by which agency. The caption’s 1944 date is the sentence, not the photograph.
The image was downloaded from the FBI image repository on 12 October 2026 but is not stored here: the placard in the photograph reads “N.Y.C. Police”, which points to a New York City police photograph rather than a federal one, so the page keeps a document plate until the owner rules on it. The FBI serves the image at the URL above.
