 Although it has not been confirmed when Juliano was inducted or promoted to the rank of Capo in the Gambino crime family, the US law enforcement began a federal investigation of Juliano in the late 1990s, apparently recognizing him as a capo, commanding his own crew in the Brooklyn faction of the family.Federal authorities also began the basics for a possible indictment, whereas illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion, fraud and wire fraud were the possible charges.On January 29, 2003, Juliano was indicted in Albany, New York, on charges of managing and operating a multimillion-dollar illegal gambling racket, based in over 30 different locations in New York City.
