New York files 92-2604 and 1 é BA 92-403 ERNEST DE VITO, mepetoned herein, is subject of -1054; Baltimore files 92-700 and 166-385; and Bureau files 92-7232 and 166-1554. ANTONIO RIPEPI, mentioned herein, is the subject of Pittsburgh file 92-223. . ; With respect to BENJAMIN MAGLIANO, better known as BENNY TROTTA, Baltimore is currently contacting him as a Top Echelon informant target. His activities have been very closely followed during the past seven years, including a three-year period when coverege was afforded by a highly confidential source. At no time was there any indication of actual membership in or cooperation with La Cosa Nostra on the part of MAGLIANO. He has admitted being friendly with FRANKIE CARBO, a New York hoodlum who has excercised considerable control in the boxing world arid since MAGLIANO was interested in scheduling boxing bouts for HOLLY MIMS, a boxer owned and managed by MAGLIANO, he, MAGLIANO, had to maintain a friendly relationship with CARBO. Although it is possible that MAGLIANO could have been a member of the La Cosa Nostra without such membership being apparent, it is felt that the factors indicating the contrary out-weigh those indicating the possibility. Efforts have been unsuccessful to develop, as Top Echelon informants, a La Cosa Nostra member; however, under development at the present time as a Top Echelon informant target is CHARLES THOMAS BARBERA. Other individuals who, although not suspected members of La Cosa Nostra but who are . of Italian extractionaand acquainted with suspected members, are being contacted in an effort to cultivate and develop them into productive informants regarding La Cosa Nostra. Suspected members, MARIO ORAZIO ANELLO, FRANK MALVASO, FRANK CORBI, were all interviewéd as subjects to appraise their possibility as Top Echelon targets. The listed members and suspected members of La Cosa Nostra in the Baltimore Division, only FRANK CORBI and JOSEPH GIGLIOTTI, have given any indication of being engaged in illegal activities during the past seven years. CORONA, MORICI and ANELLO are in poor physical health and their movements are restricted by their. afflictions and old age. -~B- COVER PAGE Docld: 32307987 Page 3 ee
