U.S.: FBI arrests mob members en masse, herds them like sheep

  • 100+ people were arrested by the FBI in New York and New Jersey this morning for mob ties
  • 24+ of those were members of the NYC area’s five crime families; the rest were associates source
  • » Among the charges face: Murder (some dating back to the ’80s and ’90s), extortion, loan-sharking, gambling and labor-racketeering in some of the mob’s continued strongholds – the construction industry and the waterfront. Not the waterfront!
