FBI charges 32 with racketeering in waste business

The FBI has charged 32 alleged mafia members with racketeering in the commercial waste business.

Twelve people were charged for "conspiring to participate in a racketeering enterprise that asserted illegal and extortionate control over commercial waste-hauling companies".

Another 17 defendants in the alleged Italian-American crime gangs were charged with "individual acts of extortion, loansharking, and other crimes associated with those activities."

Of the 32, who had nicknames such as Uncle Sonny, Papa Smurf, and Big Bill, 30 were arrested early this morning.
