Seven reputed associates of New York’s Genovese crime family were charged in a racketeering scheme on northern New Jersey’s waterfront docks, police said.

The suspects include the president of International Longshoreman’s Assn. Local 1588 and other union officials.
All were charged with racketeering, extortion, bribery and conspiracy.
