The FBI says those charged include the reputed acting boss of the family - Danny "The Lion" Leo.
Leo was sentenced last year to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to charges he conspired to shake down a livery cab business owner and an illegal gambling business.
The suspects were awaiting arraignment Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan.
