Gang Land’s Jerry Capeci writes,
As the state of New Jersey wages a fierce court battle trying to win judicial approval for Atlantic City casinos to make book on sporting events, an outspoken Luchese mobster raised his voice to Gang Land about the downright nasty way the same Garden State has treated him and his friends over their love of gambling.
Mr. Capeci wtites, In an angry phone call that was part rant and part argument for fairness in media coverage, Joseph Perna said neither he nor any of his co-defendants had gotten a fair shake from the state or the media before, during and after they entered guilty pleas in a high profile but slow moving New Jersey racketeering case dubbed “Operation Heat.”
Mr. Capeci writes, “This was just a gambling case, but they tried to make it more,” the 45-year-old Luchese wiseguy said about the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice and the sycophantic media that provided screaming headlines for the investigation that began in 2007. Gang Land News
