HACKENSACK, N.J. --
Authorities say they have seized $2 million in cash and arrested 46 people in New Jersey, New York and Florida on sports gambling and other charges.

The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday the arrests came as part of an investigation into a large-scale gambling, racketeering and money-laundering operation.

Authorities say Robert "Elvis" D'Alessio, of Totowa, ran the operation with the help of a Costa Rica-based office, which bettors called to check or place bets.

He faces racketeering, gambling and money laundering charges.

Officials say the operation had more than 50 agents overseeing 320 bettors.

Most of those charged are New Jersey residents. Four were from New York and three are from Florida.

    Jersey has always been a tough spot to operate. These guys are getting more PR than the Saudi terrorists that knocked down our Towers. Thanks Stack for the post.
