FISHHEAD Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Craig McCarthy | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEWARK — Four New Jersey men who federal officials say had ties to organized crime were arrested in a widespread East Coast bust Thursday.The Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police departments arrested 46 people for their alleged roles in a long-running racketeering ring that authorities say was connected to the Genovese, Gambino, Luchese, Bonanno, and La Cosa Nostra crime families.The following men were listed among those in custody, according to the U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, Southern District of New York: Daniel Marino Jr., 49, of Short HillsAnthony Cirillo, 51, Englewood CliffsAnthony Cassetta, 48, of BelmarMarco Minuto, 80, of Upper Saddle River Authorities allege that the New Jersey men were part of a criminal enterprise involved with loan sharking, gambling, trafficking cigarettes and guns, extortion, fraud and assault. An indictment also says illegal poker and dice tournaments took place at the Yonkers Club. The four men were charged with racketeering. They all face up to 20 years in prison. Authorities made arrests in Newark, Boston, New York, New Haven, Conn., and Miami. It was unclear where the New Jersey men were arrested. Also arrested was former Philadelphia mob boss Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino, police say. Merlino, 54, has served more than 20 years in prison on a several charges, including racketeering. He now lives in the Miami area. Diego Rodriguez, head of the FBI's New York office, said in a statement that the indictment "reads like an old school Mafia novel, where extortion, illegal gambling, arson and threats to 'whack' someone are carried out along with some modern-day crimes of credit card skimming."

Sharp Square Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 DeCalvacanate still has the most locals out there in NJ Gambino family has a lot of that action too these days in fact, the DeCavalcante family now operates under the umbrella of the Gambino's for last few years and they have tightened their grip there under Cefalu and Cali. So NY has pretty much pushed into that Jersey territory. Bigger bookmaking operations are Gambino (and some Genovese) backed and supervised but I would imagine the DeCavalcante's still handle a share of the operations.
