Over a dozen members of the high-profile crime family have been arrested, accused of loan-sharking, bootlegging and tax evasion. 

Thirteen members of the Genovese crime family are being accused of operating an illegal offshore gambling ring and trapping victims in loan schemes, according to the New York attorney general's office.

Prosecutors say the members ran an illegal sports gambling operation through an offshore wire room in Costa Rica that handled wagers on college and professional sports. It generated millions of dollars' worth of wages. 

Two of the men are also accused of avoiding state taxes by selling more than 30,000 illegal cigarettes.

The Genovese family is one of five known crime families of New York, and one of the most powerful in the U.S.
