All but one of the 13 arrests made in Buffalo were described by Vacco and FBI officials as relatively minor in comparison to those made in Italy and throughout the United States.

But of the two men identified as big players in the entire operation, one was arrested in Orchard Park.

Nigel Sevan Soobiah, 40, of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, was arrested late Wednesday night after he delivered a kilogram of heroin to undercover FBI agents in an Orchard Park apartment, agents said.
