Here's a link to a long presis of articles on alleged Mafia links to the US porn industry - which were certainly strong until the murder of DiBernardo in the 80s.



You'll note from the latter reports that the industry is still being 'shaken down' but now its by the County of Los Angeles. Governments - don't you just love 'em...

Just posted it in case anyone was interested

In my early days posting on this forum there was some argy bargy involving a well known brit producer and a certain VERY well known vid retail company who started flexing thier muscles regarding certain New York Italian businessmen who share an interest. It all fizzled out without any horse being beheaded thankfully. There were several write ups about this in the mainstream media but I am reluctant to say more because I have just put clean sheets on my bed. And my bullet-proof vest is in the washing machine.
