Genovese leaders Anthony Arillotta and Arthur Nigro were indicted last month for their alleged roles in the 2003 hit of the family's New England capo Adolfo "Big Al" Bruno in Springfield, MA. Local police say the face of organized crime has changed since the time when Bruno allegedly ran the show.
Those who knew Bruno have said he was a strong supporter of local charities, however local police have said that money was allegedly coming from an illegal gaming ring that was bringing in as much as $150,000 each week. Court records connected to the killing detail extortion against city business owners, illegal gaming machines being forced into bars and drugs being shipped in large quantities to the area from Florida.
