This FBI organized-crime file concerns Thomas Anthony Ciancutti, also identified in the records as 'Sonny', and was handled principally by the Pittsburgh Field Office. The released material includes field-office memoranda, airtels, FD-302 interview and records reports, telephone-subscriber checks, informant leads, and periodic investigative reports from 1964 and 1965. Pittsburgh coordinated inquiries with Miami, New York, Newark, Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, and Las Vegas while tracking Ciancutti's contacts and possible gambling and shylocking activity. The records also note that the Third Circuit upheld convictions involving Ciancutti and associates for failing to obtain required wagering-tax documentation, while finding the sentences required resentencing; the file says the IRS Intelligence Division in Pittsburgh was conducting a related investigation. Many pages and identifying details were withheld under privacy exemptions.
