Gangs in New York City

A 43-year-old woman, an alleged leader of a business extortion ring, and four others were remanded pending trial Thursday after appearing before an examining magistrate and a prosecutor.

The identities of four men, aged 20-23, belonging to a 12-member drug trafficking gang which was dismantled on April 26 by narcotics officers in Patra, western Greece, were made public on Wednesday.

According to police, the suspects are the four leading members of the gang, which is believed to have been peddling drugs at a school.
