Alfonso Gagliano has held titles in Canada that include labor minister, deputy House leader, ambassador to Denmark and minister of public works.
In New York he held a different kind of title, according to secret FBI documents obtained by the Daily News: "made" member of the Bonanno crime family.

Gagliano was identified as a longtime soldier in the Bonanno crime family by Frank Lino, a former Mafia capo-turned-informer.

Lino is now cooperating with the FBI and federal prosecutors as they slowly take apart the mob family to which he once swore allegiance.

Gagliano's name surfaced as Lino described the Bonanno family's operations in Montreal, which has served as an outpost for the Brooklyn-based group for decades.

For years, Gagliano was a fixture in Canada's national politics, rising through the ranks of the Liberal Party.

But his most powerful position was undoubtedly Canada's minister of public works and government services, the office that oversees the Canadian mint and awards most of Canada's government contracts.

In that capacity, Gagliano found himself embroiled in a growing scandal over potential corruption in the awarding of contracts for government advertising.

In February, he was dismissed as ambassador.

There is an ongoing investigation into allegations that government funds were funneled to large contributors to the Liberal Party for no-work contracts.

Lino was shown an array of photographs and identified Gagliano, the FBI documents state.

When he began cooperating with the FBI, Lino admitted he was involved in six murders, several attempted murders, loansharking, extortion and gambling.

Those are mostly rumors over here.

But what is less rumor though is his corrupt ass.

:lol I loved that guy...Total Recall hauls ass. Anyway my quote is from NBA player Latrell Sprewell (currently pictured in my avatar), and it reminded me a lot of that line in TR.

Sprewell said Sunday regarding his frustration over no contract extension, "Why would I want to help them win a title. They're not doing anything for me."

Sprewell, who is making $14.6 million, also said, "I've got a lot at risk here. I've got my family to feed."

His last name is "the villian"? If I known that, the suprise twist probably wouldn't have been so good.
