This FBI file concerns Anthony Michael Grosso, known as Tony Grosso, a Pittsburgh numbers operator investigated in anti-racketeering and illegal gambling matters. A Pittsburgh summary report describes the bureau's liaison with IRS investigators, Grosso's arrests on lottery-related charges, his alleged numbers operation with his brother Samuel Grosso, and reported legitimate businesses. Later 1972 Pittsburgh reports document federal grand-jury indictments involving Grosso and Samuel Levy under 18 U.S.C. sections 2, 371, and 1955, along with follow-up on prosecution. The released material also records court-authorized interception of wire communications during the investigation, though many details are redacted.
