Spitzer's Prostitution Ring Could Be Tied to Gambino Crime Family

ABC TV reports:

We are learning more about the high-end web site involved in the prostitution bust tied to New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. The Investigators Jim Hoffer has been working on that part of the story.

It does appear that wired-tapped communications are at the heart of this case involving the governor, along with an international prostitution ring with possible links to the Gambino crime family. And the U.S. Attorney's Office apparently has evidence linking him as a high-paying client.

This elite prostitution ring is alleged to have served clients from New York, to Washington, Miami to Paris. The complaint from the U.S. Attorney's office charges four people with "conducting prostitution and money laundering crimes." And now, apparently, among the Emperor's Club clientele is Governor Eliot Spitzer.

Federal prosecutors apparently informed the governor last Friday that he was now part of the prostitution probe.

I guess we will find out if this ring's bust has to do with the large number of Gambino family members recently arrested.
