Detroit Mafia Profits and Infiltration Highlight Senate Hearings
Detroit Police Commissioner George C. Edwards told Senate crime probes Mafia rackets pull about 150 million dollars annually in Detroit with another 50 million in legitimate businesses it infiltrates. He cited 69 gangland murders since 1927 and warned of bribe attempts on police and officials as top syndicate leaders seek political access and “fake front” legitimacy. Edwards noted narcotics prostitution and corruption as core operations and referenced Valachi testimony and the 1952 Giannini murder as context.
