Genovese East Coast Gambling Ring Busted Up
Genovese capo Daniel Pagano, last August. The Rockland DA's Office took down an alleged Mafia-linked sports-betting ring today, with more than a dozen arrests this morning. Fourteen suspects are charged with multiple felony counts following a 16-month probe into a multimillion-dollar monthly sports-betting ring that allegedly operated in Rockland, New York City, Bergen County in New Jersey, and Florida, according to law enforcement officials. All those arrested were arraigned and released without bail today. The ring took bets on professional football, basketball, baseball and college sports, Rockland District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said.
