This FBI anti-racketeering file concerns Joseph Nicholas Pecora, also known as 'JoJo,' in the Pittsburgh area. Pittsburgh agents sought Pecora's 1961 through 1963 income-tax returns and compiled a September 1964 report based largely on confidential-source reporting. The records describe alleged numbers operations connected to Pecora and Mike Genovese in East Liberty, including pickup men, betting locations, football pool sheets called 'Winner,' and alleged money lending. They also record reports that Pecora frequented Mikfon's Jewelry Shop and had connections to the Jockey Club in Chester, West Virginia.
