4. Tnx.

And Trafficante wasn't the only mobster. Tampa has a long history of organized crime: bolita, prohibition, prostitution, drug-smuggling, corruption... wasn't squashed until the 1980s, although smaller organized criminals still pop up from time to time. Latest is "pill-mills", which freely dispense oxycontin, etc for "pain"; several groups committing ID and tax-return fraud, and staging fake auto accidents. Cops tend to go after low-hanging fruit, until criminal activity can no longer be ignored.
