Indicted Mafia Kingpins Face High Bail in Drug Ring Case
Vito Genovese reputed mob overlord was arraigned in Federal Court on charges of masterminding a 37 man narcotics ring smuggling drugs from Europe. Genovese, 61, took the Fifth Amendment 150 times and posted bail after Judge William Herlands set it at 50,000 dollars, with co-defendants Gigante and others at 39,000. The case ties Genovese to a nationwide operation with meetings in New York Las Vegas Chicago Miami Cleveland and Philadelphia. 23 of 37 unnamed defendants have been arrested and eight are in federal prison awaiting narcotics terms. Detailing Genovese as the hub, prosecutors described a multi million dollar network extending through Cuba Puerto Rico and Mexico.
