Mobsters charged in international plot to control New York garbage truck industry, DOJ says

Wonder if they could use some snow plows?

[FoxNews] Gambino family's 'Joe Brooklyn,' 'Vinny Slick' and 'Fifi' among 10 indicted.

The plot turned out to be garbage.

Ten New York-based mobsters and another six in Italy have been charged in an international conspiracy case that alleges they conspired to dominate the Big Apple's trash hauling and demolition industries while scamming unions and beating up people who got in their way, according to the Justice Department.

The suspects, all alleged members or associates of the Gambino crime family, face federal racketeering charges on allegations that include extortion, arson, multiple assaults and union fraud.

The alleged ringleader is Joseph Lanni, according to court documents, also known as "Joe Brooklyn" and "Mommino," a purported mob captain who the Justice Department alleges was involved in the unrelated beating of a man and woman who owned a New Jersey restaurant in September.

And so forth. Who knew garbage, even NYC garbage, was so valuable?

#1 Garbage is really valuable if you don't pay to dump it. Someone is paying for it to be picked up, and if they have a strike I'm sure some would be more than willing to pay more to get rid of it.

#6 Justice Department alleges was involved in the unrelated beating of a man and woman who owned a New Jersey restaurant in September.

Now if they suddenly took up that hobby in the streets of NYC on some obvious miscreants, I suspect that no one would say a thing, other than pay their respects to whom ever is doing it.
