Almost missed these. One out of Manhattan. The other out of the Eastern District.
The Manhattan one involves 2 connected indictments of several people including Robert Bloome, Joseph Byrne, John DeSantis, Anthony Russo, Ralph Castore, and Michael Cohen. Castore was identified as a Gambino associate back in 1999. Not sure yet about the others. They were charged with bookmaking, oxycodone trafficking, tax fraud, etc.
