 On June 22, 1995, Allie Malangone was indicted on charges of controlling New York City's private waste industry through his close associate Frank Giovinco, and transferring huge amounts of money at Pontecagnano Salerno.The indictment resulted from an undercover operation that targeted Malangone and others involved in the New York Mafia controlled carting cartels, including Angelo Ponte, who headed one of the city's largest and most successful carting firms, "V. Ponte & Sons".The law enforcement operation also snared Genovese associates Frank Giovinco, Frank Allocca and Philip Barretti, one of New York City's wealthiest garbage executives.
