On the record
- 1966 — United States v. Polizzi, 500 F.2d 856 (9th Cir. 1974): "In 1966 and 1967, appellants Zerilli and Polizzi acquired hidden interests in Vegas Frontier, Inc. (VFI), a Nevada corporation, which leased and operated the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada." The court affirmed the Travel Act convictions.
- 1969 — The opinion states that "The United States Department of Justice in 1969 included appellants Zerilli and Polizzi on a list of known Mafia figures," as part of the appellants' complaint about the list's use.
- 1962 — The opinion records that the government conducted electronic surveillance against Zerilli, Polizzi and Giordano between 1962 and 1965, and that the court agreed with the district court's finding that the government's evidence was untainted by it.
This page is limited to one federal opinion, as the subject may be living. The Ninth Circuit’s opinion gives his name as Anthony Joseph Zerilli. A separate District of Columbia Circuit case is captioned “Anthony T. Zerilli,” and the middle initial differs, so that case is not treated as his. The label “known Mafia figures” is the Department of Justice’s list as the court reports it, and it is not a finding or a rank.
