Well technically all the people from that bust "operation heat" have been under indictment for years.

Theres been a few reasons for the long delay, one of the defandants alfonso cataldo wanted a court appointed attorney, but the proscution believed he could afford his own and it went all the way to the supreme court...since then catalado has died-

Also there have been alot of litigation about how the defense wants a lot of the wiretaps and recordings thrown out as evidence on the grounds of some technacalities, theres been alot of speculation that if the defense cant get the recording ruled inadmissable then we might see a wave of plea deals coming in.

But i think what it comes down to is old timers like matty maddona and dinapoli trying to postpone the trial until theyre dead.
