Toxic dumping link ties mob to New Jersey site
A federal memo links the Tieri crime family to an illegal poisons dump on a Jersey peninsula near Elizabeth. Nearly 50 000 barrels of toxic materials and explosives were found by health officials, with a fire earlier this year destroying the site and prompting area schools to close. The Tieri network, led by Philip Lombardo, allegedly controlled Chemical Control Corp and used the dump for profit, amid broader organized crime activity in trucking and loan sharking.
