Don't have any of the details yet but one of the local tv news stations is reporting a VERY large roundup of Gambino Family members today. At least 50 of them are being arrested.

EDIT: From the WABC-TV website:



NEW YORK - WABC -- A large number of reputed members of the Gambino crime family -- as many as 50 -- are being busted by federal agents this morning.

Law enforcement officials are calling the biggest mafia roundup in more than 20 years.

Eyewitness News has learned they were nabbed in a multi-agency federal, state and local operation that includes the FBI, ICE, NY State Police, the office of the Attorney General and the NYPD.

Officials say they face charges that include murder, racketeering and extortion. Previously unsolved homicides are also expected to be cleared by the charges.

The arrests were reportedly made in New York City, New Jersey and Long Island.

Details will be released at an 11 a.m. news conference at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Downtown Brooklyn.
