LONG ISLAND PRESS RELEASES

For Immediate Release: October 18, 2011

A.G. Schneiderman & NYPD Commissioner Kelly Announce 37 Arrests In Massive Organized Crime Takedown


Long Island Press Releases —
Operation “Flat Rate” Uncovers Sophisticated Multi-Million Dollar Loan Sharking, Gambling & Extortion Rings

Arrests Include Members of Gambino Crime Family

(New York) – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly today announced the arrests of 37 individuals on charges stemming from the operation of lucrative loan sharking and gambling activities closely controlled by the Gambino crime family.

A series of early morning raids conducted by Attorney General Schneiderman’s Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) and the New York City Police Department’s Organized Crime Investigations Division, capped a long-term investigation dubbed “Operation Flat Rate.” Based on the evidence obtained in this investigation, the Attorney General’s office secured five separate indictments from a Kings County grand jury, charging a total of 37 individuals on felony and misdemeanor charges. A full list of all charged individuals is included below.

“These arrests cripple a network of criminal enterprises and the organized crime family they supported,” Attorney General Schneiderman said. “The partnership between OCTF and the NYPD provided the skills and resources needed to bring the 37 individuals charged here to justice, and our offices will continue our work to dismantle these criminal ventures.”

“Illegal gambling rings not only promote addiction and burden families with debt from usurious loans, but the proceeds from gambling and loan sharking are used to fuel organized crime and support harmful criminal enterprises,” New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said. “I want to commend the New York State Attorney General’s Office and the NYPD’s Organized Crime Investigations Division for today’s arrests.”

The investigation used a number of resources including wiretaps, video and audio surveillance, GPS tracking, and bugs inside key locations to gather evidence. Surveillance was also conducted throughout the streets of Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey, where different aspects of the criminal activity unfolded. Some defendants would conduct business on street corners in an effort to avoid detection by law enforcement.

“Operation Flat Rate” was a long-term investigation into the alleged loan sharking and bookmaking activities of alleged Gambino ‘soldiers,’ or ‘made’ members, Vincent Romano and James Outerie, and alleged Gambino ‘associates,’ or ‘non-made’ members, Louis Lombardo, Louis Peteroy, Frank Esposito, Christopher Sorrentino and Nicolas Fulciniti, among others.

Throughout the investigation, intercepted conversations revealed the hierarchy and alleged criminal activities of the three related Gambino crime family enterprises. According to the charges, two illegal sports gambling operations were run through offshore wire rooms that handled wagers on college and professional sports, as well as horse races. According to the charges, these gambling operations generated millions of dollars worth of wagers.

The charges also assert that one of these three enterprises was a ‘policy operation,’ or an illegal playing the numbers scheme, in which bets were placed on the New York Lottery’s Numbers and Win 4 games. In some instances, victims of the loan sharking enterprise would be required to place wagers on the numbers – all to finance the policy betting operation.

In three of the five indictments unsealed in Kings County today, 35 defendants are charged with Enterprise Corruption based on a pattern of illegal gambling and loan sharking activities. The Enterprise Corruption charge alone carries a maximum penalty of 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison.

Two of the Enterprise Corruption defendants, Mr. Esposito and Mr. Sorrentino, along with two other defendants, were also charged in the fourth indictment, which alleges the extension of a usurious loan and the use of extortion to collect weekly interest payments. The fifth indictment charges Michelle Valente with Conspiracy in the Fourth and Fifth Degree.

“Operation Flat Rate” was conducted by Supervising Investigators Paul Grzegorski and Arthur Schwartz, and Senior Investigator Brian Fleming under the supervision of OCTF’s Eugene Black. The investigation was conducted along with New York City Police Department Detective Biagio Santangelo of the New York City Police Department’s Organized Crime Investigations Division, under the supervision of Sergeant Brian Reicht and Lieutenant Jack Iocouvou, and under the overall supervision of Inspector Brian O’Neill and Organized Crime Control Chief Anthony Izzo.

The cases are being prosecuted by OCTF Assistant Deputy Attorney General Laura Kirschstein under the supervision of OCTF Deputy Attorney General Peri Alyse Kadanoff, under the overall supervision of Executive Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice Nancy Hoppock.

The charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in the court of law.

Drugs is one of the things i think most of them are involved in, its risky but highly lucrative. I am not sure about sex trafficking.

Their probably able to move quite a bit of cocaine and synthetic drugs such as ectacy and kettamine. They probably have the whole jersey shore market because those are customers that they probably have easier access to. I only mentioned the sex trafficking because of that other case when they were caught pimping out underage girls. Id be suprised if they didnt carry it on considering its just as lucratiive as drugs.

O fuck off with this nonsense.

Westchester County, South Jersey, Philly, and parts of New England too.

Many things have been exaggerated.

Gambling (in all it's forms) and loansharking are the two most consistent money makers. But other things, like extortion, drug trafficking, labor racketeering, stolen goods, and various types of fraud are also major money makers.

The sex trade is largely passe for the mob. Both prostitution and the porn business. But they're still big into strip clubs.

By the way, with Richard Maldone (Albert Barese) in 2003 and Tony Darrow (Larry Barese) in 2009, that's now 3 Sopranos actors that have been busted in cases involving the Gambinos.

Thanks for that ivy league.Do you think that some of the low level guys were perhaps just normal people running their own little gambling rings and then were shaken down by the gambino soldiers and forced to work for them making them apart of the much larger consopiracy?

I only mentioned sex trafficking because of the arrests last year of gambino family members and also because they seemed to be from several articles heavily involved with both prostitution and pornogaphry during the seventies and perhaps into the eighties.

Not to mention that free porn on the internet has done more to curb the pay-for-porn business than the crackdown on Times Square ever did.

The mob is not dead. Not by a longshot. But it's not the same (or as powerful) as it once was. If you thnk it's still like it was in films like "Goodfellas" or "Donnie Brasco," you're being, in the words of my pal Ivy, a fanboy. Those were accurate depictions of the times, but it's just not like that anymore. Times change and all that.

The mob will always be around, to some degree, because of its two lynchpins: gambling and shylocking. People will always want to gamble, and low income/high risk type debtors will always need to borrow money somewhere. It's a supply and demand thing (whether or not the Italians remain the ones to supply those demands is open to debate).

True, also very telling. The mob had to move to the suburbs to survive wink.

Surprised you don't remember that, LK. It got a ton of press at the time because it cost him his job on the show. You can't act from jail lol.

The mob certainly still does shake down unaffiliated bookies but, in this case, officials allege it was overseen directly by the Gambinos.

The prostitution charges in the Marino case surprised a lot of people because at least one of the girls was technically underage. The press talked about the mob "sinking to a new low." Given the mob's past, it wasn't really a new low. In the early years, they were very much into the prostitution rackets. But it became more passe as time went on. There's still some mob involvement but not much. In the 2008 Corozzo bust, there was prostitution charges at a Gambino controlled strip club.

The mob was more recently involved in porn - the 1970's and 1980's, as you said. It was when the business was easier to control through the production and distribution companies from the east coast to the west coast. Robert DiBernardo of the Gambinos being the most well known involved in the business. But there were several others. Things started to change when video cassette came around. Porn films that once sold for a lot of money could now be mass produced and sold for $5 or $10 a piece. And, like pizzaboy said, the internet changed things even more. There are still some LA mob guys involved in the business. And several cases over the past decade of the mob shaking down porn shops. And, of course, the Locascio crew using porn sites to run their credit card scams.

I love the way the Feds label the guys on the bottom of that chart as "agents." I guess just calling them the "guys that answer the phones" didn't have enough cachet for them lol.

They love to blow these bullshit pinches out of proportion. I guess it's an election year for someone.

Agents! I can't stop laughing lol.

It seems very easy to start a bookmaking operation in the US, correct me if i am wrong. The moneymaking operations there would not survive one day here in Europe except for drugs operations.

Numbers.. hmm, i always thougth it was gone? Thats what Capeci wrote, interesting to see it still operational, maybe on a much smaller scale.

And like some guys mentioned, it is interesting to see young italian americans on that list.
