F.B.I. and Police Arrest More Than 100 in Mob Sweep
In a blanket assault against seven mob families in New York,
New Jersey and Rhode Island, the F.B.I. and local authorities
began arresting more than 100 people on Thursday on charges
including murder, racketeering and extortion, people briefed
on the arrests said.
The sweep began before dawn and the targets ranged from
small-time book makers and crime-family functionaries to a
number of senior mob figures and several corrupt union
officials, according to several people briefed on the
arrests. Among those arrested or sought, some of the people
said, were more than two dozen made members of New York's
five crime families and the families in New Jersey and New
England, along with dozens of their associates.
