Anti-Italian Discrimination

We've been talking a lot about The Sopranos recently, haven't we? Why stop now? On October 15, 1970, in an effort to curb mob activity in the United States, Richard Nixon signed into law a bill that amplified penalties for people committing crimes as part of organized criminal enterprises. Under its provisions, anyone convicted could face up to 20 years in prison and be required to forfeit all profits earned through this activity to the government. The FBI spent six seasons trying to build a case under it against Tony Soprano.
