Three Brooklyn hasidim – Samuel Ashkenazi, 43; Samuel “Benzi” Goldberger, 34; and Samuel Blau, 50 – were arrested Wednesday for allegedly laundering “millions of dollars for an international drug ring that operates in Israel, England and the US,” the New York Post reported.
Under the orders of the Israeli gang leaders, the three hasids allegedly collected drug money in New York, Boston and Hartford, and laundered it through The Money Spot, a check-cashing business in Brooklyn owned by Goldberger.
Ashkenazi allegedly was the group’s courier, picking up millions in cash and bringing it to The Money Spot to be counted and distributed.
Blau is accused of arranging at least one cash pickup in excess of $300,000.
