A domineering mobster’s efforts to track his girlfriend with a GPS device led authorities to uncover an array of criminal schemes that included an attempt to fix a college basketball game, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
The stunning turn of events was revealed as 20 people — including 11 reputed members and associates of the Colombo crime family — were busted on charges including racketeering, loansharking and extortion.
Reputed Colombo capo Joseph Amato, 60, allegedly bought the electronic tracker to keep tabs on his then-girlfriend, identified only as “Jane Doe,” by secretly attaching it to her car.
Amato stalked the woman between Jan. 1, 2015, and Oct. 21, 2016, during which time he had to “regularly and covertly retrieve the device, charge it and then re-position it on Jane Doe’s car,” according to papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

How is that?
So who’s spying on who? What goes around, comes around.
She’s got 20 boyfriends? Pic please-establish guilt first.
I tried searching for “Joseph Amato girlfriend” on Brave (DuckDuckGo search engine). Don’t do that.
She’s got 20 boyfriends? Pic please-establish guilt first.
You guys crack me up.One thinks she had 20 boyfriends and the other has to check out what she looks like.
So I did a search. Only see jane doe.
And it’s not 20 boyfriends....lolol
Only identified as Jane Doe, so you are not going to find a picture most likely. But good luck trying, and share if you do. 8>)
Damon Runyon would be amused.
Sarcasm
Is there a problem with that? After all, one should know her level of culpability in the matter.
Inspector Colombo is a crook................my goodness I’m shocked.
We call `em bag ladies. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it was used in 1960`s in Oakland/SF area for girls that ran skim-offs to the various bosses. Amato got the GPS to make sure she was picking up the skims from the underlings for delivery to him. Mobbers never tell the truth: ``allegedly bought the electronic tracker to keep tabs on his then-girlfriend`` BS- Not 20 boyfriends, but 20 Amato skimmers.
