Gambino Arrests

by Lupe Lasano in crime

Police in Italy and the United States have made mass arrests of the alleged Gambino crime family. In what is being billed as the biggest mafia bust in 20 years, police arrested up to 80 people.

The FBI was responsible for 57 arrests and more than 20 people were arrested in Italy. The Gambino family is almost always associated with their former boss, John Gotti.

The three highest ranking members of the crime family who are not in prison have been arrested in this operation. It is thought that the void in leadership could create a vacuum in criminal operations.

The Mafia had been gaining steam in recent years, and this bust is thought to be extremely damaging.

Last night the heirs of the historical Sicilian and American 'Dons' were arrested. Thirty of them were captured in the districts of Palermo at Passo di Rigano, Boccadifalco and Cruillas, they were captured in the villages of Torretta and Carini. The others were taken away in Cheery Hill Brooklyn. It's an operation which the FBI and Italian police codenamed "Old Bridge"
This 'haul' is still only the beginning of a vast anti crime initiative put into action by authorities in Italy and the USA, the first of a series of assaults against the "Cosa Nostra" 'families' in New York.

Most of the arrests are due to information received from two informants.
