Councilman Ralph Inzunza Responds To FBI Probe Hear From Councilman Michael Zucchet SOUND OFF: Chat About San Diego Politics

A couple of years ago, Las Vegas police had reason to suspect a connection between the owners of Cheetahs and organized crime. However, the investigation was cut short when there was a lack of support from the city's commissioners. According to 10News, the three commissioners who prevented the Vegas sting are currently being investigated for political corruption.

Michael Galardi is the owner of Cheetahs in San Diego. He is the son of strip club mogul, Jack Galardi. Together, they own more than a dozen strip clubs from San Diego to Miami. Three years ago, they wanted to open another club in Las Vegas called The Gold Club.

Coincidentally, there was a strip bar called The Gold Club in operation in Atlanta. According to 10News, that club was the subject of a huge scandal involving NBA players and members of a known organized crime family -- the Gambinos.

The owner of the Atlanta Gold Club was Steve Kaplan who has denied any connection to the Galardis.

Jack Galardi owns four other strip clubs in Atlanta, including one called Crazy Horse.

There is also a Crazy Horse strip club in Las Vegas whose owner has reported friendships with organized crime figures.

According to 10News, police in Las Vegas were eager to investigate Jack Galardi. They asked for $10,000 to go to Atlanta and meet with a grand jury investigating the Gold Club/Gambino connection.

But because Las Vegas commissioner Mary Kincaid-Chauncey and former commissioners Dario Herrera and Erin Kenny refused to spend the money, the investigation was stalled.

Now Herrera, Kenny and Kincaid-Chaunceyare being questioned by FBI agents.

Kincaid-Chauncey confirmed Wednesday that the FBI has named her as a target of their investigation into political corruption.
