Carmine Franco, 78, admitted to taking part in a multi-crime-family plot to take control of waste hauling businesses in New York City and New Jersey between 2009 and 2012.
Franco, who had previously been barred from having any involvement in New Jersey’s waste industry, was one of 32 alleged mobsters busted this past January as the FBI dismantled a three-family conspiracy aimed at turning other people’s trash into treasure.
