BONANNO SPLIT: Crime crew indicted in NYC mob crackdown
Nine reputed members of the Bonanno crime family were charged in an indictment unsealed Tuesday with what prosecutors called old-school mob activity: gambling, loan sharking, extortion and drugs.
A two-year investigation dismantled one crew of the family, including a captain, two capos, a soldier and several associates, two of whom were members of an International Brotherhood of Teamsters local union, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said.
“The 158-page indictment demonstrates that organized crime is still operating in New York City and has its hooks into the labor movement,” Vance said.
