NATION IN BRIEF : MASSACHUSETTS : 4 More Arrested in Anti-Mob Sweep
Four more reputed mobsters surrendered following a three-state sweep that authorities claimed left the New England Mafia “in disarray.” Vincent Gioacchini surrendered in Boston, said Stephen Morrill, an FBI spokesman. Gaetano Milano, John Castagna and Jack Johns surrendered in Connecticut. Twenty-one alleged mobsters, including reputed New England crime boss Raymond (Junior) Patriarca, were named in indictments unsealed this week. Morrill said the arrests had left the New England Mafia without a leader and scrambling to regroup.
