THE GIULIANI FAMILY'S CRIMINAL HISTORY
Judge Michael Bernard Mukasey had already been a district judge for 5 years when Rudolph W. Giuliani was elected mayor in 1994. Giuliani was the only child of Harold Giuliani, a man who had ties to organized crime in Brooklyn from the 1930s.
Mayor Giuliani's father had served an 18-month prison term in Sing Sing for armed robbery in 1934. As Wayne Barrett wrote in his book "Rudy," the elder Giuliani had been an enforcer for his brother-in-law's loan-sharking operation.
