By the start of Mr. London's trial on January 4,
1993, the 51 counts of the second superseding indictment
had been reduced to 30 counts. Several counts, including
the count charging Mr. London with gambling, were dismissed
by the Government, and several other counts were dismissed
by the District Court. The two counts of tax evasion
(counts 50 and 51) were among the counts that were not
tried, but the record of these cases does not explain why.
On February 19, 1993, a jury returned guilty verdicts with
respect to 29 counts involving RICO, money laundering,
failure to file CTR's, and extortion. The jury acquitted
Mr. London on one count of money laundering. During the
jury trial, the contents of the communications intercepted
during the electronic surveillance of Heller's Cafe were
introduced into evidence. On March 3, 1993, Mr. London
pleaded guilty to willful evasion of his 1985 Federal
income tax under section 7201.
