Underworld Linked To New Postal Facility Contracts
A $40 million federal mail processing complex near Kearny, New Jersey, links to Hudson County political machine figures and a sicilian-era network. Contracts awarded to Comparetta and Kenny Inc, A. J. Sarabbi, and Valentine Electric trace ties to Democratic figures and alleged Mafia connections, with land bought by Lincoln Rosen and Associates for lease by the Post Office. The project reflects political and business entanglements from the Kennedy era into the Nixon administration.
