Three city mayors, two state politicians, several city councilmen and five rabbis were among 44 people arrested across New Jersey yesterday when federal agents cracked an alleged Sopranos-style crime ring accused of bribery, money laundering and trafficking body parts and counterfeit handbags.

Including buying kidneys for $10,000 apiece from donors in Israel and then selling them to American transplant recipients for $160,000.

Rosenbaum told undercover agents- "I am what you call a matchmaker", noting he had been marketing illegal kidneys for 10 years.
