According to the indictment, top Colombo crime family members and alleged co-conspirators extorted the labor union management by threatening bodily harm to force decisions that benefitted the crime family. Since 2001, one of the captains and his cousin allegedly collected part of a senior labor union official's salary -- by threatening to harm both him and his family.
Beginning in late 2019, the defendants allegedly broadened the extortion effort to force that official and others at the labor union and its affiliated health fund to select vendors for contracts who were associated with the Colombo family. The defendants allegedly sought to divert more than $10,000 a month from the health fund's assets to the administration of the Colombo family, prosecutors said.
Among other examples, prosecutors say as recently as June 21 Ricciardo was recorded on the phone threatening to kill the labor union official if he didn't comply.
