The FBI said most of the arrests were made Thursday morning throughout New York City, in New Jersey and New England. Charges include murder, extortion and narcotics trafficking.
Attorney General Eric Holder and other officials were expected to discuss the cases later Thursday at a news conference in Brooklyn.
The takedown was another blow to New York’s five Mafia crime families. Federal probes aided by mob turncoats have decimated the families’ ranks and resulted in lengthy prison terms for several leaders.
Way to tip them off!
its about time they go after them they are criminals and do no good to our society
These guys are almost extinct and irrelevant.
They should be going after the Russian mafia. They are much worse
You could make thousands of mafia arrests if you look at the unions we have here… argggg
Well done lads.
New Jersey? I thought they already got everyone there. How quickly they breed.
ok, but in Mafia neighborhoods, there is no petty crime. and I mean NONE. the cops are goping to have to replace that
Why is it when these fine upstanding citizens were arrested, none of their faces were shown on tv? Yet, when there were a series of arrests by the FBI, of Rabbis (and politicians) in New Jersey over a year ago, their faces were repeatedly shown on tv, for days. Is there one standard for the mobsters, and another for yidden?
