A trio of restaurant owners on a single Brooklyn block were arrested Monday for trying to bribe a city employee for inside information on upcoming Health Department inspections, prosecutors said Monday.

Brothers John DiSanto, 50, and Jack DiSanto, 47, along with their cousin Robert Cuba, 55, allegedly offered lucrative Super Bowl betting payouts to the Department of Health employee they hoped would give them a week’s notice of inspections of their Mill Basin restaurants.

The trio own Gourmet Grill, Frozen Yogurt Planet, and Mill Basin Bagel Café, each located on Avenue N between E. 63rd and E. 64th Streets.

The business owners were foiled by the DOH employee, who immediately reported the attempted bribe to the city’s Department of Investigation, prosecutors said.

“Restaurant inspections are meant to be rigorous and conducted without warning to ensure establishments are following the city’s health and safety protocols,” said acting Department of Investigation Commissioner Daniel Cort. “These defendants allegedly used corruption and cash to try and game the system, but instead were undone by a city health employee who stood up for integrity.”

The bribe scheme started in January 2020 when John DiSanto texted the city employee the offer, prosecutors said.

The Department of Investigation then assigned an undercover investigator to pretend to be the Health Department employee and continue talking with DiSanto, according to prosecutors.

DiSanto informed the operative that he would put down $1,000 in an annual Super Bowl numbers pool that could have payouts of up to $50,000 in exchange for information about the upcoming inspections, prosecutors say.

“You’ll have your sets of numbers and if you hit, you come see me and you come collect. And if you don’t hit, you’re in it next year,” DiSanto texted the investigator, according to texts released by the Brooklyn DA.

“We do get nervous, I’m going to admit it,” DiSanto said in another text about the random inspections. “We wanna get it over with because it’s kind of a little taxing for us... so you just gotta give me the heads up.”

DiSanto’s brother and cousin allegedly met with the undercover investigator and discussed the scheme.

Unannounced health inspections are a common source of complaints among city restaurant owners. An unfavorable inspection can result in fines or even temporary closure of restaurants.

All three of the restaurants have “A” health ratings, according to city records. They have each received some “sanitary violations” during inspections in the last few years, including the presence of “filth flies” in food areas during a 2017 visit to Mill Basin Bagel Café.

After the 2020 Super Bowl, the operative met with DiSanto and picked up $16,000 in winnings from the Super Bowl bet, prosecutors said.

The three men were released without bail following their initial appearances in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

Their next appearances are Jan. 19, 2022.
