One of the things I hate most about the guy is that he was a gung-ho prosecutor/"moral crusader" making his name on big mob cases with the Gambinos & Genovese family in the 80s. That was how he launched himself into politics.
Then once he gets into office, questionable ties and practices abound.
Having said that, I don't think he has any intentional mob ties, just more like a friend-of-a-friend-knows-a-connected-guy-which-helps-my-company-get-this-contract type of thing. No mob guy would deal with Giuliani on a direct basis; Giuliani isn't that stupid and the mob hates him anyway. A couple notable figures actually wanted him dead in the 80s.
