The Finch-pin of the Union Mob (Union Mob Network Investigations)

The Union Mob Network Investigations are a series of investigations being conducted by Sergeant Louis Bloom with the assistance of Attorney General Salvatore Greco.
==Case Summary==
Sgt Louis Bloom and Salvatore Greco have come together in a joint operation to investigate the connections the mob known as "The Union" has, focusing originally on their connection with prominent lawyer Rossa Della Morte and later pivoting to a larger network of ties to the mob including lawyers, cops, and even the judiciary.
==Key Information==
* Rossa Della Morte (RDM) has heavy affiliations with the Union Mob, but kept herself clean of the dirty work.
* Leonard Falcone had a large amount of pull within the Union Mob, for the most part having more pull in the group than RDM.
* Phoebe Finch leaked information in relation to Connor O'Leary, possibly causing his attempted murder.
* Frank Jenkins † leaked that the mob was being investigated to RDM.
* Johnathon Davis turned on the mob in a deal with Sgt Louis Bloom and the DA's Office.
* Dominic Romero used his business account as a gang bank and used the actual location as place for drug deals and various other things, but on paper has remained clean.
* When Giovanni Delucci died, most of the mob was absorbed into Berry Gang.
* Rexford K Jenkins is the son of RDM, and was possibly leaking to him.
* Ace Smith and William Cole are also possibly connected, according to Davis who himself wasn't too sure if they actually were or if it was only rumors.
==History==
Sgt Louis Bloom and the Attorney General, Salvatore Greco came together after Bloom started working on investigating an incident involving the shooting of Connor O'Leary in relation to the Union Mob. In this investigation he found worrying connections to Rossa Della Morte. After discussing things over with Greco they began sharing info on another thread of this case, Rossa Della Morte aka RDM, they both were able to slowly fill in the blanks and unraveled how deeply RDM was connected with the Union Mob. 
As part of this investigation Bloom received a subpoena for the phone records of one Rossa Della Morte. Going through this subpoena Bloom began to further suspect RDM as a source of leaking. This led to Bloom having a greater interest in this case as to potentially stomp out multiple sources of leaks within the government infrastructure.
During this case Bloom had learned that Officer Phoebe Finch had possible connections to RDM and had been leaking things to criminals, which is what caused Connor O'Leary to be shot to begin with. On April 8th he brought her in interrogation with the help of Greco to determine the level of leaking she had done, and to see if her repercussions were going to be done internally or through the legal system. During the interrogation Phoebe complied but remained suspicious of it throughout the entire thing. After it was over Bloom had learned of the level of her leaking and who she had leaked to for the most part. With all the information he gathered he determined his course of actions towards her would remain internal.
While these investigations were going on Giovanni Delucci, a major factor of the case, died under unknown circumstances. Soon after Delucci's death another major factor of this case, Christian Lanetti, fled the state in fear of a possible RICO on the Union Mob. After consideration, Sgt Bloom decided that no matter their status within the State he still planned to charge Delucci and Lanetti. 
The death of Delucci caused a major shift within the investigation as another suspect, Johnathon Davis, decided to turn on the Union Mob due to his friend's unfortunate passing. Davis began to meet with Bloom and discuss the possibility of snitching in return for immunity from the underlying charges being discussed. During this time he had several meetings with both Bloom alone, and with Bloom assisted by Greco in which he began to vaguely snitch on certain portions of the events and the connections the Union Mob has accrued over their time as a group in the city. After a meeting, Bloom agreed to a deal in which Davis would come fully clean and do a deposition on the Union Mob in return for full immunity on the case and an interview with Federal Investigation Bureau Director Bench Guy for a possible job.
On April 16th, Davis got his meeting with Bench Guy and was granted their protection while he remained in hiding due to word of his possible snitching got out. He was to remain within the basement of the FIB HQ and would receive all he needed from FIB R&D James "Bucky" Barnes. For holding up his part of the deal, Davis spilled all the information he had on the group in response to questions asked by Sgt Bloom. Davis revealed many key connections the Union Mob had, including the following:
* Rossa Della Morte;
* Leonard Falcone;
* Rexford K Jenkins;
* Frank Jenkins †;
* Dominic Romero; and
* and Charlie Dixon
The major details this quasi-interrogation unveiled was the confirmation of Frank Jenkins †' involvement (who had upon learning of the investigation called RDM on a payphone and warned her), the involvement of Rexford K Jenkins, and Dominic Romero's role within the organization. Dominic Romero was revealed to Bloom by Davis to have acted as the "gang bank," a clean member who used his business account as a fund for the group and as a place for members of the Mob to keep their money without it being looked at. This information interested Bloom with its possibility of stomping down on a clean front as well as implicating people in embezzlement. Upon further inquiry he learned that Romero played it completely clean and would use his business as both a bank and a place to organize drug deals out of a van he had parked at the location, Davis also mentioned Romero's girlfriend Charlie Dixon being complicit with his use of his business, The Oasis, in this way. 
Rexford's possible involvement in this case worried both Davis and Bloom as Rexford is a sitting Magistrate within the Department of Justice and had been potentially leaking information to RDM this whole time due to Rossa being his mother. This has caused Bloom to be hesitant in any further documentation of the case himself, including the filing of the case itself onto the docket.
Eventually after a few mishaps with Davis almost catching cold feet, as well as him leaving the FIB building despite the danger to his life, Bloom got Davis to reiterate what he had said during their original quasi-interrogation where he came clean, so that his statements could be recorded and used as a deposition.
===Tribunal===
On April 26th, 2024, Phoebe Finch's open administrative tribunal was held in the meeting room of Vespucci Police Station. It was attended by many members of the police force, in addition to Government-employed members of the public such as the mayor and the head of the San Andreas Medical Authority. The following charges were brought against Phoebe:
Conduct unbecoming of a Law Enforcement Officer to whit:
Associating with a known criminal organization, beyond the normal duties of a law enforcement officer, in a manner that compromises personal integrity.
Informing a known felon of the apprehension and transportation of an individual to prison.
Failure to properly document information regarding an investigation into a criminal organization.
Unprofessional conduct and disclosure of an internal investigation to non-law enforcement personnel following administrative suspension.
Failure to report criminal activity and government corruption that resulted in severe bodily harm and/or the potential for death.
Mishandling of government documents by utilizing unsecure means (personal phone).
Government Corruption (A).
Sergeant Bloom and Attorney General Greco presented the findings of their investigation to a panel of five, including three voting members (Lt. Karl Metzger, Lt. Harold StockHerd Well, and Lt. Nicole Nash) and two non-voting members (Sgt. Malcolm Nolan and Cpl. Jemma Zimmerman). Phoebe and her officer advocate, Sgt. J.R. Nixon, argued in her defense.
The verdict of the charges was delivered by Lt. Metzger. Phoebe was found guilty of charge a-i, guilty of charge a-ii, not guilty of charge a-iii,* not guilty of charge b**, guilty of charge c, and not guilty of charge d. Charge a-iv. was dismissed given it was not argued for or against by either party.
* The panel noted that Phoebe should be taking around 40% of the responsibility for this.** Not enough evidence was presented for a guilty verdict.
The panel voted unanimously to terminate Finch's employment immediately, however she was offered a pathway forward. If she does not elect to turn down the offer and walk away from the Department of Public Safety, Finch will be guaranteed an interview no earlier than June 1st, 2024 to determine whether or not she will be rehired. Prior to rehiring, she will be required to undergo a background investigation into her integrity. If rehired, Phoebe would remain on probation for a period of 90 days, which could be reduced based upon good behaviour and performance. Finch would also be assigned a mentor to guide her in her duties, which would focus on patrol operations.
