FEDS WANT LAWYER OFF MOB CASE
The feds are seeking to disqualify the lawyer for an allegedly mobbed-up contractors' representative accused of paying bribes in a massive labor-racketeering scheme.
The scheme led to the ouster of carpenters boss Michael Forde and two other union leaders.
Joseph Olivieri's attorney has a "non-waiveable" conflict of interest because she's a "fact witness" regarding a perjury charge against him, prosecutor Lisa Zornberg said in court yesterday.
Zornberg said lawyer Michele Bonsignore represented Olivieri, a reputed Genovese family associate, when he denied under oath having any business dealings with drywall contractor James Murray, who is under indictment.
Olivieri was named last week in a sweeping, 29-count Manhattan federal court indictment
