A federal racketeering indictment has been handed out in the 1978 Lufthansa robbery at the Kennedy International Airport in New York.

The five defendants named Thursday include Vincent Asaro, Jerome Asaro, Thomas Defiore, John Rigano and Jack Bonventre. Vincent Asaro is an alleged captain of the Bonanno crime family, according to the New York Daily News.

On Dec. 11, 1978, hooded gunmen invaded the Lufthansa cargo terminal and stole nearly $6 million in cash and jewelry.

The case was reopened last June, the report said, after an informant steered FBI investigators to a Queens neighborhood where it’s believed the robbery was planned.

The heist was featured in the Martin Scorcese film “Goodfellas.”
