Reputed Mafia Figure Dies

Reputed Kansas City mafia figure Charles Moretina has died, 22 years after being convicted in a casino skimming investigation. That conviction marked the beginning of a decline of organized crime's influence in the Kansas City area.

Moretina and 10 other men were indicted in the skimming scheme,
which was the basis of Martin Scorcese's 1995 film "Casino.''
