This FBI file concerns Joseph DiPalermo, a figure identified in a 1978 bureau communication as a caporegime in the Gaetano Lucchese LCN family. The released records include identification-record extracts documenting arrests and prison matters from 1939 through the 1960s, along with a 1975 New York office report referring to an investigation of DiPalermo and his associates. A June 1978 FBI communication and attached Southern District of New York indictment concern allegations that DiPalermo, Peter DiPalermo, Irving Leibowitz, and Joseph Kaufman conspired to bribe former federal probation supervisor James V. Gannon in 1977. The file also notes an FBI investigation into alleged domination of the New York Newspaper Mailers and Deliverers Union and contains extensive withheld and duplicate material.
