The Mitchell A. Mars Foundation to Honor Prosecutor Who Fought the Mob and Won

Assistant U.S. Atty. Mitchell Mars, who fought the Chicago Outfit and won, died of cancer shortly after his historic prosecution of the Family Secrets case and mob bosses. A scholarship has been established in his name.

Mars was a great public servant. In a state where public servants are too often all about serving themselves and their friends, Mars was one of the good guys who fought for the public interest against the Outfit and their political puppets.

In his memory, his federal law-enforcement colleagues have established the Mitchell A. Mars Foundation.
