I wonder if Perna's and Taccetta's still...interesting.

[Wiseguy]

Hmmm. Not seeing anything yet in the news. About time we get a bigger bust.

I wonder if there will be any mention of George Zappola by the State Police. Maybe they can clear up when he left and who really took over after him

He used to run this crew (we know this due to Pennisi)

Wasn’t there rumours of maybe a gambino raid a month or two ago and nothing ever became public on that unless I missed it?

Think reporting was it was queens da, NYPD and waterfront commission that did bunch of raids including Danny Fama and Gurino. Friend in construction industry told me DeFalco Construction also got raided but maybe after the Fama searches, assuming it’s still connected to that case. Always suspected DeFalco was connected to Gambinos - we’ll see what comes of it

About three dozen people associated with an organized crime family have been charged in New Jersey on a range of state charges including gambling, money laundering and other related alleged crimes, two sources familiar with the matter tell NBC New York.

Among those arrested - Prospect Park council member Anand Shah - although the allegations apparently do not relate to his role as a public official, the two sources said. Details of alleged wrongdoing that led to Shah’s arrest unclear at this hour.

Calls and emails to Shah this afternoon for comment were not immediately returned. Reached by phone, Council President Felicia Ortiz said she has not been advised of the details of the situation.

The NJ Globe was the first to report news of Shah's arrest.

The New Jersey State Attorney General and NJ State Police helped lead the months-long investigation, the sources said. No comment was available from either agency.

A news conference is expected to take place tomorrow afternoon in Trenton where officials will detail the charges.

Maybe Zappola and Joseph R Perna?

The more things change…

[JoePuzzles234]

James Proctor posted on his channel that Joseph R. Perna was arrested this morning as well as an apparent photo of LE outside of Joseph M. Perna's house - would assume he's part of the bust too?
