Superseding indictment, United States v. Gallo et al., CR82-119, N.D. Ohio (filed 27 October 1982)

The cover page, shown above, reads “United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern District,” “Criminal Number CR82-119,” “Judge John M. Manos,” and “Superseding Indictment,” with a clerk’s stamp of October 27, 1982 at 11:21 a.m. It names as defendants Joseph Charles Gallo; Frederick Graewe, a/k/a “Fritz”; Hartmut Graewe, a/k/a “Hans,” “Doc,” and “The Surgeon”; Angelo A. Lonardo, a/k/a “Big Ange”; Kevin Joseph McTaggart; and Thomas James Sinito, a/k/a “The Chinaman.” The statutes listed are 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 1952(a), 1961 and 1962(d), and 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 843(b) and 848.

Count 1, on page 2, charges that “from in or about the month of March 1978” five of the defendants were associated with an enterprise, “a group of persons associated in fact to commit acts of murder and violence … in order to facilitate the operation of a narcotics trafficking and gambling enterprise,” and that the group “was known to its members and associates at varying times as the murder, gambling, and drug distribution network controlled by ‘the Cleveland Organized Crime Family,’ which Organized Crime Family was also known as ‘the Outfit,’ or as ‘the Organization,’ or simply as ‘the Mafia.’”

Those are the grand jury’s charges, not findings. Only the first two of the 84 digitized pages were read for this archive. The catalog’s “docket number” field prints “86,” which appears to be the docket-entry number; the case number on the document is CR82-119.
