[edit] Criminal Career

Rudaj is an ethnic Albanian from Montenegro who immigrated to the United States more than a decade ago. Federal prosecutors said Rudaj was the triggerman in a 1993 shooting of another organized crime figure after a high-speed chase in the Bronx. Rudaj hung out the sunroof of a car and fired at Guy Peduto as he fled in another car from Rudaj and three others. They also described an incident where Rudaj showed up with 20 thugs to get late mob boss John Gotti's table at Rao's, the legendary and exclusive East Harlem Italian restaurant.

[edit] Arrest

Rudaj, along with 22 alleged members of the Rudaj Organization were indicted during October 2004 in connection with racketeering, attempted murder, robbery, extortion, gambling and loan-sharking.^[1]
