Scores arrested in transatlantic mafia crackdown

More than 80 alleged mobsters were on Thursday night in jail or on the run in New York and Sicily after what was hailed as the biggest transatlantic strike against Cosa Nostra in almost 25 years. United States law enforcement officials arrested 54 suspects, including three said to be important members of New York’s Gambino crime family.
