Jury pool grows as Scarfo mob case heads toward trial
In Philadelphia, about 100 prospective jurors were chosen from nearly 400 for the Scarfo organized crime trial alongside four associates charged with a multimillion dollar meth operation. Judges, prosecutors, and defense lawyers expect several days of questioning as jurors are sequestered for the lengthy process. The case centers on a $1 million extortion conspiracy and alleged murder orders linked to Nicodemo Scarfo and others including Salvatore Merlino Philip Leonetti and Charles Iannece. The indictment covers illegal importation and manufacture of the drug speed, a meth precursor known as P-2-P, with a cross border operation from 1983 to 1986.
