FBI agents swept across northern New Jersey Thursday, making arrests in a major international money laundering probe.
Federal prosecutors say about 30 people have been arrested in the two-track investigation. They include Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III and Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell. Federal prosecutors say several rabbis in New York and New Jersey were also arrested.
Radio station New Jersey 101.5 FM reports the sweeps are taking place in Hudson, Bergen, Monmouth and Ocean counties.
The station said the probe centers on money-laundering and political bid rigging.

      As a former resident of the only city in America with 7-night a week garbage collection, the terms “corruption” and “Hoboken” are not too far-fetched for me.
      Lots of “legitimate business owners” named Carmine with the Hoboken uniform (track pants, Mark Bavaro throwback and white adidas sneakers) walking around that place.

      @8 – Agreed. I, too, am a former resident of the Boken. How about Stan’s Sporting Goods on 5th and Wash? It is open for maybe 2 hours a day. What a front.
      Also, birth certificates from Hudson county pre-1970 are not valid forms of identification due to the amount of fakes they made… Impressive.

      Hoboken is actually pretty nice. I would rather live there than Brooklyn. Easier to get into the city, too.

      @14 ever swing by Biggie’s Clam Bar for a pickup order? The double-parked Cadillacs next to the cop cars are a nice touch.

      @19 – Tutta Pasta generally had a pretty nice mix of cops and “businessmen” too. Doesn’t hurt that everyone loves Danny Aiello and lets him park his Jag wherever the hell he feels like leaving it.

      @8 – It is true. Dogs, strollers, mothers who were probably 6s a decade ago who are now 3s..
