New York - Genovese and Bonanno crime family members charged in racketeering scheme

[imstilla.grandma]

On Tuesday, nine reputed members and associates of the Genovese and Bonanno clans — including the detective — were charged in a racketeering case brought by the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn that centered on the illegal parlors and the money laundering and extortion schemes.

Federal prosecutors said that for 10 years, the gambling activities brought in “substantial revenue” for the two families as they hid under the cover of businesses like a soccer club and a shoe repair store. The Long Island coffee shop alone typically earned them more than $10,000 per week, funds that were laundered up to the crime families’ leaders.

And people think the Mafia is dead.

The coffee shop knocking down 10 grand a week had to be a busy place, even for NY where everything seems busy.
