Former Gambino ally and NJ councilman faces loansharking charges
New Jersey Councilman John Alite, a former Gambino crime family associate, was arrested on charges of extortion, loan-sharking, conspiracy, and related crimes after allegedly running an illegal loan scheme from his public office. The investigation revealed that Alite and accomplice Stephen Locrotondo used threats and high-interest loans to collect payments, with Alite allegedly promoting his scheme through his entertainment company. Alite, appointed to the town council in 2025, previously served a prison sentence for racketeering and has ties to organized crime. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear if Alite will remain in office during the legal process.
