The committee, after detailed hearings, ties Frank Sinatra to a race track venture involvement with alleged New England Mafia boss Raymond Patriarca and New York mobster Tommy Lucchese. Sinatra says he joined after meeting Salvatore Rizzo in Atlantic City in 1962, denies knowledge of Lucchese’s hoodlum ties, and withdrew with $55,000 due to Nevada casino ownership rules.
