In an unprecedented assault against seven mob families in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, the FBI and local authorities arrested close to 130 people on charges including murder, racketeering, and extortion. The sweep began before dawn, and the targets ranged from reputed small-time book makers and crime-family functionaries to six reputed senior mob figures from three crime families, including the entire current leadership of the Colombo crime family. Among those charged were roughly 30 made members of New York’s five crime families and the families in New Jersey and New England, along with scores of mob associates and several union officials.

More than 100 members of alleged organized-crime families and their associates were arrested in a sweep by federal agents and police in three states. The arrests were made around the New York area, in New Jersey, and in Rhode Island on charges including labor racketeering, loan sharking, conspiracy, drug trafficking, arson, extortion, and murder. The arrests involved accused members and associates of all five New York organized-crime families: the Gambinos, Genoveses, Bonnanos, Luccheses, and Colombos. Also arrested were members of the DeCavalcantes in New Jersey and accused mobsters in Rhode Island. About 127 people in total were charged.
