STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Attorney General Letitia James revealed this week the names of more than a dozen defendants arrested in the takedown of an alleged $22 million Gambino crime family gambling and loansharking ring based on Staten Island.
The defendants listed in an 84-count indictment include 17 individuals accused in a sports-betting scheme that led to loansharking; one of those defendants also was accused with three additional individuals in a mortgage-fraud scheme.
