Reply #7: The Jewish mob worked in partnership with the Italian mob in suburban

[alfredo]

Detroit. The center of one of the families was a catering business in a Synagog north of Detroit. Actually, they were a good catering service, even though it was a front. Another part of the network was an Armenian owned scrapyard in a western suburb, and the prostitution was controlled by a Detroit cop/pizza parlor owner. Still, it was two Italian men who coordinated everything. They always treated me with respect because I was a friend of the family that ran the numbers on the west side of Detroit. the matriarch was Stevie Wonder's god mother. Rev Franklin (Aretha's father) ran the numbers on the east side. Barry Gordy was a thug too.

IHOP near eight mile was where the day's activities were planned.
