How would the queen react if she knew that a "Made" member of the Mafia was in attendance at her state dinner? Michael Sacco, Seafarers International Union-President is, according to William P. Redden,Retired FBI Agent, a made member of the Mafia. Mr. Redden was the FBI agent that uncovered what was known as the "Ghost Room Scheme" which, in 1992, was an attempt by Sacco's union to pilfer over 2 million dollars from the Rank and File members of that union.

Mr. Sacco served as "muscle" for the late Paul Hall, SIU union president emeritus, and an unindicted co-conspiritor by the Norris Commission in Canada. He was a member of the crew of the Harbor Dredge Zanzibar and his job was that of a cook. He was on the Zanzibar as part of Paul Halls knee-capping crew, according to a former crew mate who gave this information to the FBI.
