Organized Crime Investigation Into the Trash Industry Leads to Guilty Plea For Conn Businessman
Organized Crime Investigation Into the Trash Industry Leads to Guilty Plea For Conn Businessman
We've covered the government's probe into the affairs of Connecticut businessman and all around refuse magnate, James Galante going back as far as 2005. Galante is now facing jail time on 93 counts including racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, extortion, mail and wire fraud and witness tampering. Oh yeah - also arson and kidnapping. 29 others are also under indictment in connection with the charges. Prosecutors are calling their shot and say to expect a guilty plea from Galante the next time he shows his face in court. Galante has a previous conviction (and served time already) for tax evasion.
