Trenton, NJ – Fourteen individuals have been charged in connection with a multimillion-dollar illegal sports betting ring following an investigation led by the New Jersey State Police Port Security Section, officials announced this week.
According to the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, the suspects allegedly operated an organized crime network involved in high-stakes sports wagering. The case stems from a long-term probe into gambling and money-laundering activities linked to organized crime figures within the state.
Authorities say the defendants allegedly profited through an illegal online platform that handled millions in bets on professional and college sporting events. Investigators recovered financial records and electronic evidence believed to show large-scale profits funneled through offshore accounts and cash operations.
The charges include racketeering, money laundering, and promoting gambling. Officials say the arrests are part of an ongoing effort to dismantle organized crime groups operating illegal betting and loan-sharking enterprises in New Jersey.
Further details on the defendants and specific charges are expected to be released following court appearances.
