Turf war over Cuban gambling ring targets Lucchese mob
A turf battle between a Cuban emigre gambling ring known as The Company and the Lucchese crime family has sparked at least eight killings in a year. Pedro Acosta, 37, a Cuban ring lieutenant, was shot on February 8 near a restaurant as hundreds waited for a movie. Prosecutors say Robert Hopkins, 38, a Lucchese associate, ordered the murder and ran more than 100 parlors pulling in about $500,000 weekly in a feud over payoffs and territory. Detectives traced Hopkins during an eight‑month probe using surveillance and phone records.
