Mob Figures Are Charged With Controlling Trash Hauling in Connecticut
NEW HAVEN, June 9 (AP) — A reputed mob boss, a former Waterbury mayor and the owner of a Danbury trash hauling business were among 29 people charged on Friday in a federal investigation of the mob's influence over the trash industry in Connecticut.
Companies owned by James Galante paid a "mob tax" to a reputed Genovese crime family boss, Matthew Ianniello, as part of a scheme in which trash haulers carved out routes for one another, according to a 117-page indictment.
Others named in the indictment include a state trooper, Paul Galietti, who is charged with two counts of misusing state computer systems to run criminal background checks, and Louis Angioletti, a federal drug agent from New Jersey, charged with unlawfully accessing a law enforcement computer system.
Does this mean trash causes crime?
