Stepsons of a deceased mob-connected businessman charged with participating in a red-light camera kickback scheme that funneled cash payments to then-mayor of Oakbrook Terrace
The stepsons of a deceased mob-connected businessman have been charged with participating in a red-light camera kickback scheme that allegedly funneled thousands in cash payments to the then-mayor of Oakbrook Terrace in exchange for a lucrative cut of ticket proceeds.
Before he died in January 2018 at the age of 78, Dennis Colucci met with Ragucci and his stepsons to discuss the arrangement, telling the brothers to “continue making monthly payments to Ragucci” after his death, according to the indictment. Sources told the Tribune Maani made numerous recordings of conversations with Ragucci and the Colucci brothers.
“Their actions were clearly in their own self-interest and done without SafeSpeed’s knowledge and undercut the important work SafeSpeed does,” the emailed statement read. “The criminal activity of a few individuals does not and should not reflect the values and integrity of SafeSpeed, its employees, and its clients.”
In May 1977, Dennis Colucci was one of four alibi witnesses who testified on behalf of Aleman, one of the Outfit’s most feared killers who was on trial for the 1972 murder of William Logan, a truck dispatcher and Teamsters union member.
