An FBI report form (FD-263) from the Detroit office, dated 1/18/58, title “Anthony Joseph Giacalone,” character of case “Anti-Racketeering,” with an investigative period in December 1957 and January 1958. The reporting agent’s name is redacted.
The synopsis reads, in part: “ANTHONY JOSEPH GIACALONE, Detroit PD # 59837, born 1/10/19, Detroit, Mich., of Italian born parents.” It says he was “arrested numerous times usually for Michigan gambling law violations but was convicted only once. He was convicted and sentenced to 8 month jail term and $500 costs in 1955 in Detroit for bribery of police officer.” It continues that he was “active for years in PETE CORRADO gambling interests in Detroit,” was “presently active in Detroit numbers operations for the CORRADO group,” and was “characterized as a ‘comer’ in Detroit underworld.” It adds: “He is ostensibly self-employed as real estate broker.”
The synopsis is the Bureau’s own characterization, drawn from records and informants. The page also prints a residential address; this archive does not reproduce it, and for that reason the page image is not stored here. The scan is in the Vault viewer at the link above.
