FBI makes biggest organized crime arrest in history-NYC.

Reynold Maragni, 59, was indicted along with more than 100 gangsters in last year's historic Mafia takedown by the feds. vesintel.blogspot.com He was granted bail after claiming he suffers from three different types of cancer and needs treatment that the federal lockup in Brooklyn could not provide. Brooklyn Federal Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom confined Maragni to Juliano's home, granting him leaves only for medical emergencies or to travel to his doctors in Florida, where he also has a home in Coconut Creek and allegedly supervised a Colombo crew. Besides Juliano, the bail bond was also signed by his three children, his estranged wife and several longtime friends who posted their homes. "I would never do anything to jeopardize (bond guarantors) financially or any other way," Maragni assured the judge last year. After he was sprung, Maragni had second thoughts about fighting the extortion and loansharking charges. He began wearing a hidden wire and taping wiseguys in New York and Florida while supposedly on medical visits. "He is going to be your worst nightmare," Bloom had warned Juliano, referring to Maragni's strict bail conditions. "No going out to dinner, no picking up food, no taking out the garbage, no picking up milk on the way home," Bloom said.
