The Genovese organized crime family operated an illegal gambling operation out of the shop, generating "substantial revenue," which was then laundered through cash transfers, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn said. Federal prosecutors say La Nazionale Soccer Club in Queens, N.Y., was actually a front for a gambling operation run by organized crime.Salvatore Rubino, 58, known as "Sal the Shoemaker," was among those arrested, prosecutors said.
