Pat Marcy (born Pasquale Marchone) in 1990, then secretary for the First Ward Democratic Committee.

Pat Marcy had hijacked the Democratic Party, the city government, the court system and even the police. Like an octopus, he reached inside each one and pulled the levers of power for the benefit of his cronies and the Mob. Those who got close to him, like I did, lived in fear of his wrath. Time and again, he pushed us into more criminal activity, and time and again, we couldn’t back away.

When Corruption Was King © 2004 by Robert Cooley and Hillel Levin


     
   
 
  From 1986 to 1989, criminal defense attorney Robert Cooley wore a recording device and developed criminal cases against mobsters and corrupt officials. His investigation led to nine federal trials in the Nineties and convictions or guilty pleas for twenty-four.  
 
 

“Bob is every bit the hero because he didn’t have to
do what he did.”

Tom Durkin, former First
Assistant U.S. Attorney

“The man is a paragon of corruption. The man is
walking slime.”

Criminal Defense Attorney
Edward M. Genson

Never has a federal investigation accomplished
so much, and never has an investigation revolved as
much around one man. But
to this day, the reasons why Cooley decided to cooperate with federal authorities remain a mystery.
