( CNN ) -- Fourteen alleged members of the Gambino crime family have been indicted on charges including murder , racketeering , prostitution of minors and trying to locate and intimidate a sequestered jury , the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Manhattan , New York , said Tuesday . `` Today , the Gambino family has lost one of its leaders , and many of its rising stars have now fallen , '' U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said . `` We will continue to work with our partners at the FBI to eradicate the mafia and to keep organized crime from victimizing the businesses and the people of this city . '' Twelve people , including Daniel Marino , named by the U.S. attorney as the current boss of the Gambino crime family , were arrested Tuesday morning . One was arrested last week , and another was at large Tuesday afternoon , Bharara 's office said . Marino has been charged with murder in various cases , including the 1989 killing of Thomas Spinelli , a member of the family who testified before a federal grand jury about the mafia 's members and activities . The other defendants , who authorities say include some high-ranking members of the Gambino crime family , also have serious charges brought against them . Onofrio Modica is charged with jury tampering , which stems from 1992 , when then-boss John J. Gotti was on trial on federal racketeering and murder charges . According to the U.S. attorney , Modica and other members of the Gambino family tried to locate the anonymous , sequestered jurors sitting on the trial . Modica was able to penetrate security measures and locate the hotel where the jury was sequestered , but the plan was called off after Gotti decided that the jury would not convict him , authorities allege . The U.S. attorney alleges several of the defendants also operated a prostitution business from 2008 to 2009 , where young women and girls as young as 15 allegedly were recruited to be prostitutes and advertised on websites such as Craigslist . According to Bharara , the defendants drove the women to their appointments and kept approximately half the money paid to them . The women allegedly were made available for sex to gamblers at weekly high-stakes poker games that authorities say were run by the defendants . Read how rare it is for women and children to be involved . A press release from Bharara 's office detailed the other charges against the defendants , including extortion ; assault ; trafficking of narcotics , such as cocaine , OxyContin and marijuana ; wire fraud , which includes the alleged defrauding of several high-end New York restaurants by inflating invoice costs ; loansharking ; and gambling . `` This case shows that it 's still about making money illegally , by whatever means , '' FBI Special Agent-in-Charge George Venizelos said . `` No crime seemed too depraved to be exploited if it was a money-maker , including the sexual exploitation of a 15-year-old . '' According to the U.S. attorney 's office , the fourteen defendants are Marino , Modica , Thomas Orefice , Dominick DiFiore , Anthony Manzella , Michael Scotto , Michael Scarpaci , Thomas Scarpaci , David Eisler , Salvatore Borgia , Steve Maiurro , Keith Dellitalia , Suzanne Porcelli and Anthony Vecchione .
