IL Contractor Enterprise Members of the Lucchese Construction Group

Defendant Saul Heifetz was a union mason contractor who operated under a number of
corporate names, including defendants DIBA Corp. and Grand Train Corp. Heifetz worked on
masonry and concrete projects throughout New York State, including New York County.
