The mayors of two New Jersey cities and a state legislator are under arrest Thursday as part of a major corruption and international money laundering conspiracy probe.
Federal prosecutors say about 30 people have been arrested. They include Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell and Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini. Federal prosecutors say several rabbis in New York and New Jersey are also arrested. One congregant says a synagogue in New Jersey has been raided.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who has fought corruption in New Jersey's largest city, says it's "an unbelievable morning so far."
A congregant of a synagogue in Deal, N.J., says he was praying Thursday morning when FBI agents entered. Mike Winnick says the agents also removed boxes from the Deal Yeshiva.
