Mobsters ordered to pay $24 million

Four reputed mobsters convicted at Chicago's biggest organized crime trial in years were ordered Monday to pay more than $24 million - including millions of dollars in restitution to the families of murder victims. Federal Judge James B. Zagel, who presided over the Operation Family Secrets trial, ordered a forfeiture totaling $20.2 million and another $4.4 million in restitution. The heaviest amounts were imposed on reputed mobsters Frank Calabrese Sr., Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo, James Marcello and Paul Schiro. A fifth defendant convicted at the 2007 trial, former Chicago police officer Anthony Doyle, was ordered to pay lesser amounts. They were convicted of a racketeering conspiracy including 18 murders of people who threatened to become witnesses or otherwise antagonized the mob. Unlike his co-defendants, however, Doyle was not accused of murdering anyone. He was held responsible for just 1 percent, or $44,225, of the restitution. Six other defendants pleaded guilty in the case that targeted members of the top echelon of the Chicago Outfit, as the city's organized crime family is called. Most of those convicted in the case were not fined.
