This New York FBI anti-racketeering file concerns Paul Castellano, also identified in records as Costantino Castellano. The bureau examined his personal history, criminal record, business interests, and possible organized-crime associations after his attendance at the November 1957 Apalachin meeting. A 1957 report records his prior Connecticut arrest for assault, robbery, and gun possession, his family and meat-business background, and information concerning Carlo Gambino. The released material also includes a 1963 interview in which Castellano denied membership or leadership in organized crime, plus surveillance reports tracking his movements to meat-industry and rendering-business locations.
