Councilman Pleads Guilty to Gambling Ring | Newark News
Description
A local councilman, Anand Shah, has admitted to running an illegal gambling ring tied to the Lucchese crime family, hosting underground poker games and siphoning over $900K in illegal profits between 2017 and 2023. Facing racketeering, money laundering, and official misconduct charges, he’s pleading guilty under a deal seeking a 10-year prison sentence, loss of his council seat, and a lifetime ban from public office. His sentencing is set for December 4th — a stark warning that corruption can thrive even in local government.
