T. FRATIANNO.

SF8677PC had an apartment located in the Mission

District of San Francisco, California,

and gave her consent

for electronic surveillance to be instituted at her. apartment.

Valuable general intelligence and travel information was

furnished by the PC and through the use of electronic sur-

veillance; however, no specific criminal violations were

obtained in regard

to the activities of JIMMY FRATIANNO and

other known West Coast LCN figures.

In view of the above,

electronic surveillance was terminated after approximately

2 months, and SF8677PC was closed as she had become very

apprehensive in regard to her association with JIMMY FRATIANNO,

SAL AMARENA, and other organized crime figures in the San

Francisco area.

San Francisco intends to continue the current RICO

investigation concerning FRATIANNO, AMARENA, and others, and

is working in close coordination with other law enforcement

agencies such as the San Francisco Police Department and the

San Mateo County Sheriffs Office in this investigation.
