Two former NCAA wrestlers among those arrested in alleged mafia-led New Jersey sports gambling ring

The recent arrests of 14 individuals, including two former NCAA wrestlers, in a New Jersey gambling ring underscore a troubling trend in organized crime. This incident is part of a broader crackdown on illegal activities, similar to the recent arrest of over 20 gang members in Texas, which reflects law enforcement's increasing focus on dismantling organized crime networks. The connection between sports and illegal gambling raises significant concerns about integrity in athletics, as seen in various cases across the country.
