All I got was a manila folder with two newspaper articles that talked about Moriarty and a sheet of paper that named Pat Di Carlo as an associate of the mob. That was it. A couple of weeks later, however, Di Carlo called Rackauckas and said that investigator Wilson had ignored the order by contacting and frightening Elton Johnson, one of Di Carlo s potential business partners. Last month, Rackauckas learned that his officers may also not have been totally forthcoming to him. Despite assurances that they had destroyed the entire Di Carlo file, a tape of an April 2000 interrogation of Di Carlo somehow made its way from the organized-crime unit to the desk of an investigative reporter at the Register .
Investigations are under way.
Neither Wilson nor Foye responded to requests for interviews. In a move that underscores the division within the DA s office after the investigators were suspended, three ranking prosecutors including assistant DA Michael Jacobs flew to Sacramento on Feb. 6 to ask the attorney general to look into what they see as Rackauckas misconduct in office. Their concerns also include suspicions that the DA may have misappropriated public funds for his private foundation that gives out official-looking badges to local businessmen who contribute money. Aitken sees the complaints against Rackauckas as a diversion without merit. If Tony Rackauckas had the slightest belief that Patrick Di Carlo was in any way upside-down, he wouldn t have anything to do with him.
