court Monday for allegedly taking a whack at a dog-walker in Hell’s
Kitchen — the same area his dad controlled in the 1970s. </p>
<p>Michael J. Spillane Jr., 60, got his Irish up and allegedly punched
the stranger in the face outside Mediterranean wine bar Kashkaval Garden
at around 7:37 p.m. on Feb. 21, according to a criminal complaint.</p>
<p>Spillane — who owns Mickey Spillane’s, a bar named after his dad
about six blocks south on Ninth Avenue — pleaded not guilty to
misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment and was released after his
Manhattan Criminal Court arraignment.</p><p>His ties to the neighborhood date back decades to when his father
ruled Hell’s Kitchen as the head of the Irish-American mob in the ’60s
and ’70s.</p>
<p>Known as the last “Gentleman Ganger,” Mickey was a quick riser in the
loan sharking scene who opposed dealing drugs and was adamant about not
associating with the Italian mafia.</p><p>After he was pushed out of Hell’s Kitchen by the Westies, a more
vicious rival Irish gang, Mickey was murdered outside his Woodside,
Queens home in 1977 — shot five times in the head in what cops said was a
gangland assassination.</p>
<p>He was married to Maureen McManus, a daughter of the famed local
political dynasty who ran the city’s Tammany Hall Democratic party for
decades — which Michael Jr. led as district leader, according to W42ndSt.com.</p>
<p>“My dad was a serious man. Back when he was in business, he worked
with a lot of labor unions and they controlled most of the docks,”
Spillane said in the 2016 interview with the website. “Then the Italian
branch of the mob tried to dominate everything. And if it wasn’t for men
like my dad, there would be no Irish unions.”</p><p>The Irish-American mob scion’s beef with the dog-walker is said to
have started when the man encountered Spillane and a group of people
standing outside the restaurant, creating a bottleneck.</p>
<p>He asked the group to make a path for him and his two dogs to get
through, and most of them did — except for Spillane, who allegedly stuck
his foot out and tried tripping the dog-walker, according to a source
in the victim’s camp.</p>
<p>Spillane was allegedly aggressive and looked at the dog-walker “menacingly,” the source said.</p>
<p>The man went to grab Spillane — who then allegedly laid a closed-fist haymaker to his face, according to the source.</p><p>The dog-walker was also arrested and hit with the same charges. He
suffered swelling and bruising from the punch and a laceration to the
neck, according to the complaint against Spillane.</p>
<p>Spillane, who doesn’t have a rap sheet, was spotted flipping through a
wad of $100 bills as he stood next to his attorney, Eugene Byrne,
shortly after his arraignment. He’s due back in court April 29.</p><p>Spillane is the eldest of three children,</p>
<p>His actor brother, Bobby Spillane, who appeared in shows “Rescue Me”
and “Law & Order,” tragically died when he leaned against his window
screen and fell from his sixth-floor apartment on Eighth Avenue in 2010.</p><p>https://nypost.com/2024/03/11/us-news/son-of-notorious-irish-mobster-mickey-spillane-busted-for-slugging-dog-walker-in-same-nyc-neighborhood-his-dad-ruled/<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-46677526099812048422024-03-10T14:26:00.001-04:002024-03-10T14:26:01.865-04:00Last member of the Bufalino crime family appears with former Colombo Captain discussing Jimmy Hoffa<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KRHq2_MjS6E" width="320" youtube-src-id="KRHq2_MjS6E"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-47858665319961380682024-03-10T10:27:00.002-04:002024-03-10T10:27:29.674-04:00Notorious Lucchese Soldier paroled from life sentence<p><img class="shrinkToFit" height="640" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/roy-demeo-r-https-commons-72747114.jpg?resize=764,1536&quality=75&strip=all" width="318" /> <br /></p><p>They’re getting the gang back together. </p>
<p>Notorious Lucchese crime family hitman Joey Testa will be out on the
streets in April after 35 years behind bars, the Federal Bureau of
Prisons announced — just weeks after The Post reported on the release of Testa’s partner Anthony Senter, the other half of the murderous duo known as the Gemini Twins.</p>
<p>Both Testa, 69, and Senter, 68, were paroled after serving a fraction
of the life-plus-20-year sentences they were handed in 1989 for
participating in at least 11 murders, the feds confirmed.</p><p>“Joey’s had serious medical problems for years, and he has done well
in prison,” Testa’s attorney Linda Sheffield told The Post. </p>
<p>“Those are things that play into setting a release date.”</p><p>In the 1970s and 1980s, Testa and Senter belonged to a mob crew run by Gambino made man Roy DeMeo. </p>
<p>The crew used the Gemini Lounge at 4021 Flatlands Ave. in Flatlands,
Brooklyn, as the launchpad for murders, car thefts, drug trafficking and
other crimes.</p>
<p>“It was a regular blue-collar place,” a one-time Gemini Lounge
regular recalled of the bar, which has since become a storefront church. </p><p>“You didn’t know that there was a murderous maniac running around.”</p>
<p>The inseparable Testa and Senter, pals since childhood, spent so much
time at their boss’s hangout that they were dubbed the Gemini Twins.</p><p>Federal and city authorities traced at least 75 deaths and
disappearances to DeMeo’s crew — and independent researchers put their
savage toll at more than 200.</p>
<p>Witnesses for the prosecution in Testa’s 1989 trial revealed that
those marked for death would be lured to an
apartment-turned-slaughterhouse next to the Gemini Lounge.</p>
<p>“When the [victim] would walk in, somebody would shoot him in the
head with a silencer,” former gang member Dominick Mantigilio told the
court. </p>
<p>“Somebody would wrap a towel around to stop the blood and somebody would stab him in the heart to stop the blood from pumping.”</p>
<p>Crew members would haul their prey into the bathtub to let his blood
drain away, then “take him apart and package him,” Mantigilio testified —
dumping the body parts in a nearby landfill. </p>
<p>Many of the gang’s alleged targets were never found.</p>
<p>The gruesome murders were “so horrendous and so inhumane and so unbelievable,” US District Court Judge Vincent L. Broderick said at Testa’s 1989 sentencing, that “the only sane course” was to send him to prison for life.</p><p>But because his crimes were committed prior to 1987, when new federal sentencing guidelines kicked in, Testa became eligible for parole after serving just 10 years of his lifetime term, according to the US Parole Commission.</p>
<p>Nephew and godson Tony Testa, 44, said the family is thrilled to see the ex-mobster set free.</p>
<p>“The Lord is amazing,” said Testa, a real estate developer in Commack, Long Island. </p><p>“Uncle Joey did his time, he never complained. And the parole board saw that he’s served his penance.” </p>
<p>Tony Testa – who bills his family as “The Kennedys of Cosa Nostra” on
social media — has tried to spin his uncle’s infamy into pop-culture
gold. </p>
<p>A self-proclaimed “mob rapper,” he has released two albums — complete with a grisly music video dramatizing the DeMeo crew’s bloody execution technique.</p><p>“Hey, that’s entertainment,” he said. </p>
<p>“I’m a law-abiding citizen, but I’ll use what I can, you know?”</p>
<p>While Senter, scheduled to be released in June, is already living in a
New York City halfway house, Testa will likely reside with his wife
JoAnn, 71, in Nevada, Sheffield said. </p><p>The couple has two grown daughters and two grandchildren.</p>
<p>“He is not well enough to go to a halfway house,” the attorney said. </p>
<p>“He’ll go home.”</p><p>But locals suspect the dual release signals new revelations to come.</p>
<p>“There’s a rumor going around that when those guys get out, they’ll spill the beans,” the former Gemini Lounge patron said. </p>
<p>“They know where a lot of bodies are buried. There is no reason for
them to be let out unless they’ve been cooperating with someone.”</p><p>https://nypost.com/2024/03/10/us-news/second-gambino-gemini-twin-hitman-paroled-from-life-sentence/<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-27111539826308713582024-03-06T20:01:00.003-05:002024-03-06T20:01:24.905-05:00Junior Gotti's family rejects plea deals after basketball game brawl<p><img class="shrinkToFit" height="640" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/kimberly-gotti-wife-john-gotti-76215145_ba1567.jpg?resize=1373,1536&quality=75&strip=all" width="572" /> <br /></p><p>It was an offer they could refuse.</p>
<p>John “Junior” Gotti’s wife and daughter shot down plea deals that
would’ve put them in anger management to settle charges that they
sparked a wild brawl at a Long Island youth basketball game.</p>
<p>Kimberly Gotti, 55, and 23-year-old Gianna Gotti refused an offer to
plead guilty to assault charges in exchange for 12 weeks of anger
management and an order of protection for the victim, the Nassau County
District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.</p>
<p>The pair were charged with attacking a woman at a Locust Valley High
School game in Lattingtown on Feb. 8 after the victim shouted insults at
Kimberly’s son, Joe, who was playing for visiting Oyster Bay High
School, according to authorities and court records.</p>
<p>The victim suffered “substantial pain to her scalp and bruises to
both sides of her face,” according to a complaint filed in Nassau County
First District Court.</p><p>The Gottis’ attorney blamed the blowup on the victim, telling The
Post last month that she threw the first punch and was “badgering”
Kimberly’s youngest son.</p>
<p>The lawyer, Gerard Michael Marrone, also denied his client used a homophobic slur. </p>
<p>He said after the incident that Gianna, a professional basketball player who played for Brooklyn College before signing with a team in Portugal, stepped in to break up the brawl and help her mom after she was slugged in the face by the alleged victim.</p>
<p>But he said both Gottis declined to press charges against the woman when cops arrived.</p>
<p>“The Gottis don’t press charges,” Marrone said after the pair was arraigned last month. </p>
<p>Instead, they were arrested and charged.</p>
<p>Marrone did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. </p>
<p>Kimberly Gotti is the daughter-in-law of the late mafia boss “Dapper
Don” John Gotti — who infamously took over the Gambino crime family by ordering the mob hit of boss Paul Castellano outside Sparks Steak House in 1985.</p><p>He died of throat cancer in federal prison.</p>
<p>John “Junior” Gotti, meanwhile, served six years and five months behind bars for racketeering.</p>
<p>The hulking Queens-bred mafia scion was the target of four federal
trials between 2004 and 2009 — all of which ended in mistrials. Federal
prosecutors said they would no longer seek cases against him.</p><p>https://nypost.com/2024/03/06/us-news/kimberly-gianna-gotti-shoot-down-plea-deals-that-would-place-them-in-anger-management-after-wild-li-youth-basketball-brawl/<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-72031008739326722412024-03-05T19:16:00.001-05:002024-03-05T19:16:25.071-05:00Former Gambino Underboss holds sitdown with fellow turncoat gangsters<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iPXqhz1u18U" width="320" youtube-src-id="iPXqhz1u18U"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-4876851382178492882024-03-05T19:14:00.002-05:002024-03-05T19:14:27.420-05:00Turncoat Lucchese Soldier discusses the Bosses of the Five Families<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zTcAG56Etok" width="320" youtube-src-id="zTcAG56Etok"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-30053603948654416472024-02-29T06:46:00.002-05:002024-02-29T06:46:11.392-05:00Elderly Colombo Captain sentenced to four years in prison for shaking down NYC union<p><img height="360" src="https://www.newsday.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.newsday.com%2Fimage-service%2Fversion%2Fc%3ANWIxZGVlYzMtM2RkNy00%3AODYwNGIx%2Flimob240229_photos.jpg%3Ff%3DLandscape%2B16%253A9%26w%3D770%26q%3D1&w=828&q=80" width="640" /> <br /></p><p>A Mafia member was sentenced Wednesday to more than four years in federal prison for his role in a long-running scheme in which he and others extorted funds from a New York City labor union, federal prosecutors said. </p><p data-v-7dd7fde0="">Vincent

<p>The daughter-in-law and granddaughter of one of America’s most
notorious mob bosses got involved in an ugly scene at a Long Island
youth basketball game that could have been pulled right from “The
Sopranos” — when they allegedly brawled with another woman over some
rude words to her teen son Thursday night.</p>
<p>Kimberly and Gianna Gotti allegedly attacked the victim at Locust
Valley High School for shouting insults at her son Joe, who was playing
for the visiting Oyster Bay High School team, according to sources and
court records.</p>
<p>Both Kimberly, 55, and Gianna, 23, allegedly lunged at the victim,
pummeled her and pulled her hair, and at one point called the other
team’s players “fa—ts and pussies,” sources said.</p>
<p>The victim suffered “substantial pain to her scalp and bruises to
both sides of her face,” according to a complaint filed in Nassau County
First District Court.</p><p>The judge in the case charged the mother-daughter crew with
third-degree assault and let them go on their recognizance during their
Friday morning arraignment.</p>
<p>The judge also issued an order of protection meant to keep the
infamous mob family members away from the victim in the case, who has
not been named. </p>
<p>The Gottis’ attorney, Gerard Michael Mattone, blamed the blowup on
the other parent, telling the Post that the woman threw the first punch
and had been “badgering” Kimberly’s youngest son. He also denied his
client used the homophobic slur. </p><p>“They were making fun as he was playing, and then there was a little
bit of a verbal thing that went back and forth between the fans – both
sets of parents,” Mattone said. “And this ‘victim’ actually punched Mrs.
Gotti. She threw the first punch.”</p>
<p>Mattone insisted that Kimberly is “the nicest lady” and never called the players any names.</p><p>“This is supposedly all on video,” Mattone argued. “This lady just
went wild. She was uncontrollable. Security could not throw her out and
then when she was finally thrown out, she kept coming back into the
gymnasium to start more trouble with the Gotti family.”</p>
<p>Once Kimberly took a blow to the face, Gianna – herself a
professional basketball player who previously played for Brooklyn
College before signing with a team in Portugal – stepped in to break up the fight and help her mom, Mattone said. </p><p>When police responded, they asked the Gotti pair if they would like to press charges – but they declined, Mattone said. </p>
<p>“The Gottis don’t press charges,” he said. “And that’s why Mrs. Gotti was arrested and the daughter was arrested.”</p>
<p>Their next court date is set for March 6.</p><p>“It’s just unfortunate that, you know, you run into a person that’s a
little bit of a maniac that has just zero respect for children and
punches my client in the face,” Mattone said. “Because the Gottis don’t
press charges, my client and her daughter wound up getting arrested. And
that’s OK. Because we’ll find it [out] in court.”</p><p>Kimberly Gotti is the daughter-in-law of the late mafia boss “Dapper

family by ordering the killing of boss Paul Castellano at Sparks Steak House in 1985.</p>

<p>The ex-husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dina Manzo is looking to throw out a years-old racketeering case that accused him of hiring a Mafioso to rough up Manzo’s new beau.</p>
<p>Attorneys for Garden State restaurateur Tommy Manzo have asked a
federal judge to dismiss the case against him because they say he’s been
denied the “speedy trial” afforded to him by law.</p>
<p>The case centers on a 2020 indictment that says Manzo cut a deal with
a Lucchese crime family soldier to rough up his ex-wife’s
then-boyfriend, David Cantin, in a North Jersey parking lot five years
earlier.</p>
<p>His alleged accomplice — reputed mafioso John Perna of Cedar Grove,
New Jersey — has already served time behind bars for the
“Sopranos”-style beatdown, Manzo’s attorneys say their client should be
cleared because the court’s glacial pace has violated the federal Speedy
Trial Act of 1974.</p><p>“The last day that Mr. Manzo could have been brought to trial on the
Indictment in compliance with the [law] was December 10, 2022,”
attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Zach Intrater wrote in a Jan. 19 federal
court filing.</p>
<p>“But no effective continuance was signed until nearly eleven months
later,” they continued. “There is no question that there has been a
violation of the [Speedy Trial Act] in this case … the indictment
against Mr. Manzo must be dismissed.”</p><p>In a Friday afternoon statement, Intrater added that Manzo is “a
respected businessman who looks forward to these charges being dismissed
so that he can get back to his family and the work that he loves.”</p>
<p>The US Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey declined to comment Friday.</p><p>Manzo’s request is the latest salvo in a lengthy court battle that’s
thrust one of New Jersey’s most infamous families into the spotlight yet
again — for all the wrong reasons.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slapjacks and dirty deals</h2>
<p>Manzo, 58, of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, married Dina in an over-the-top 2005 wedding chronicled on<span style="float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.16px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;"><span> </span>the VH1 reality series “My Big Fabulous Wedding.</span> ”</p><p>But the couple split in 2012 over his alleged infidelity, “Real
Housewives of New Jersey” star Kim DePaola told The Post in 2020 —
though they wouldn’t officially divorce until 2016.</p>
<p>Federal prosecutors say Manzo got angry when Dina began seeing Cantin, an entrepreneur.</p>
<p>He allegedly hired Perna, reputedly a made man with the Lucchese
crime family, to bust him up with a slapjack in front of a Passaic
County strip mall, according to federal court documents.</p>
<p>In return, Manzo allegedly promised Perna a deeply-discounted wedding
reception at The Brownstone, the well-known catering hall in Paterson,
New Jersey, that his family had owned for decades.</p>
<p>At first, everything went according to plan, prosecutors claimed.</p><p>Perna grabbed a member of his crew and worked Cantin over on July 18, 2015, court documents said.</p>
<p>About a month later, The Brownstone hosted an opulent, 330-guest
wedding for Perna’s family that was attended by a number of other crime
family capos.</p>
<p>But of course, the feds eventually ruined it.</p>
<p>They arrested and indicted both men in the summer of 2020. A year
later, Perna pleaded guilty to a charge of committing a violent crime in
aid of racketeering activity and was sent to the slammer for nearly
three years.</p>
<p>And Manzo, although free on bail, has languished with a federal
albatross around his neck even as he runs his restaurant, which has long
been a hangout for North Jersey politicos and bigwigs of all stripes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The family business</h2>
<p>Manzo’s father, Albert “Tiny” Manzo, bought The Brownstone from its original owners, the Clune family, back in the late 1970s, according to a history written by Rita Clune.</p><p>The Clunes had bought the “desolate, burned out” building just after
World War II, she wrote. They turned it into a bar, then a banquet hall
before selling to the 400-pound Tiny — whose nickname was steeped in
irony — in the late 1970s.</p>
<p>An alleged mob enforcer, he’d once run for city mayor on a
law-and-order platform whose main plank was bringing back public
hangings at Passaic County Jail.</p><p>But the mobster’s fortunes eventually turned sour, and authorities
found his naked body tied up in the trunk of his Lincoln Continental
outside a Hillside, New Jersey supermarket in August 1983, with four
bullet wounds cutting through his torso. </p>
<p>He and Gambino family soldier Peter A. Campisi had reportedly skimmed
money from a mobbed-up casino on Staten Island — although rumors abound
to this day about what actually led to his gangland execution.</p>
<p>His sons, Tommy and his brother Albert, have run the restaurant in the years since his death.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other legal troubles</h2>
<p>Of course, even if Manzo were to beat the federal rap, that doesn’t mean his problems are over.</p>
<p>He’s also embroiled in another court case involving his “Real
Housewives of New Jersey” ex — this one stemming from charges that he
and another man busted into Dina and Dave Cantin’s home in Holmdel, New
Jersey, and beat them in 2017.</p><p>The Cantins — who married in June of that year — told cops that two
men broke into their townhouse and attacked them as they walked in
around 11 p.m. on May 13, according to NJ.com.</p>
<p>They hit Cantin with a bat and punched Dina several times, tied them
up with zip ties and made off with cash and jewelry — including a new
engagement ring.</p>
<p>During the attack, “an Italian guy with a North Jersey accent” told
the pair: “This is what happens when you f–k with people from Paterson,”
according to the affidavit.</p>
<p>Manzo and another man, James Mainello of Bayonne, were charged with robbery, burglary and aggravated assault for the crime.</p>
<p>But little information is available about the case, which has moved
at a similarly slow pace and remains frozen until Manzo’s federal
charges are resolved.</p>
<p>Christopher Adams, Manzo’s attorney for the state charges, did not respond to multiple inquiries requesting comment.</p><p>The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said the next hearing is April 29, but declined to comment further.</p>
<p>That’s about two weeks after the April 16 jury selection for his
federal case, meaning the North Jersey legend’s legal battles could soon
be coming to a close — for better or worse.</p><p>https://nypost.com/2024/01/28/metro/real-housewives-star-dina-manzos-ex-husband-looks-to-throw-out-charges-he-hired-mobster-to-beat-up-her-boyfriend/<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-60316211329175843082024-01-25T19:40:00.001-05:002024-01-28T11:26:30.735-05:00Turncoat Bonanno gangster from Mob Wives show resurfaces in new interview<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jowgORV6H24" width="320" youtube-src-id="jowgORV6H24"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-37494595181761838252024-01-22T17:26:00.002-05:002024-01-22T17:32:06.829-05:00Judge gives elderly Colombo Underboss a break and sentences him to 15 months<p><img class="shrinkToFit" height="427" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/2024-sentenced-crimes-related-queens-75309567.jpg?resize=1536,1024&quality=75&strip=all" width="640" /> <br /></p><p>A reputed Colombo Crime Family Underboss caught a break from a
Brooklyn federal judge Monday — after his attorneys argued that he’s too
old and sick to receive a lengthy prison sentence.</p>
<p>Benjamin “The Claw” Castellazzo, 86, got hit with 15 months in the
slammer by Judge Hector Gonzalez on a guilty plea to money laundering
conspiracy, despite prosecutors seeking a little over two years.</p>
<p>A longer prison sentence would “jeopardize” Castellazzo’s wellbeing,
his attorneys argued, telling the judge his health issues — including a
decade-long battle with cardiac problems — have him on so many
medications, that he wouldn’t receive the proper care in federal prison.</p>
<p>Being placed in the wrong detention center, could “effectively turn
into a death sentence” for the reputed mobster, attorney Ilana Haramati
said.</p>
<p>“He goes to the doctor often. He gets checkups. He’s on a whole battery of medications,” Haramati told the court.</p>
<p>But prosecutors weren’t too interested in hearing about Castellazzo’s
ailments and advanced age — which they argued haven’t steered him away
from his alleged mafioso lifestyle.</p>
<p>For instance, Castellazzo swore to a judge that the courts would
never see him again when he was sentenced to 63 months in prison in 2013
after pleading guilty to mob extortion stemming from a dispute over a stolen red sauce recipe from famed pizza joint L&B Spumoni Gardens in Gravesend.</p>
<p>His health issues seem to pop up each time Castellazzo is in hot water for his alleged crime family dealings, prosecutors said.</p><p>“The defendant has referred to his health each time he has been
before a court in his district,” Brooklyn Assistant US Attorney Andrew
Reich told the judge.</p>
<p>Beyond his health issues, Castellazzo’s attorneys argued that the
accused wiseguy could lose his subsidized apartment due to the new
conviction — which would leave him “homeless,” Haramati wrote in a Jan. 3
pre-sentencing letter to the court.</p>
<p>Castellazzo was indicted in 2021 with 13 other defendants — among them nine reputed Colombo family members — on a slew of charges including labor racketeering, extortion and money laundering.</p>
<p>He spent time in lockup before posting a $1.6 million bond in March 2022.</p><p>“He didn’t lose it when he was in for six months, but he was kind of
on the brink,” his attorney, Michael Marinaccio, said, referring to his
client’s subsidized apartment.</p>
<p>Among the co-defendants was alleged Colombo crime family mobster Ralph DiMatteo, 68, who infamously posed shirtless in a poolside snapshot while on the lam.</p>
<p>DiMatteo said he had no regrets about the photo when he was sentenced to three years behind bars last year.</p><p><img class="shrinkToFit" height="427" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/2024-sentenced-crimes-related-queens-75309846.jpg?resize=1536,1024&quality=75&strip=all" width="640" /> <br /></p>
<p>Castellazzo pleaded guilty on July 7.</p><p>Prosecutors were seeking a sentence between 21 and 27 months in prison.</p>
<p>Castellazzo’s woeful health also includes blockages in his arteries
and a bout with prostate cancer between 2011 and 2015, according to his
attorney.</p>
<p>At the end of his sentencing, the judge told Castellazzo that he
hoped he would grow out of alleged crime family dealings — but didn’t
sound too hopeful.</p><p>“Hopefully this will be the end but only time will tell,” Gonzalez
said, ordering Castellazzo to surrender to begin his sentence on March
22.</p>
<p>Asked at the end of the proceedings why his nickname is “The Claw,” Castellazzo laughed along with his son. </p>
<p>“I was a carpenter,” he quipped.</p><p>https://nypost.com/2024/01/22/metro/colombo-underboss-the-claw-catches-break-after-attorneys-ague-hes-too-old-and-sick-for-long-jail-sentence/<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-67162272040804175802024-01-22T10:59:00.001-05:002024-01-22T10:59:24.627-05:00Turncoat Gambino Captain salutes recently deceased longtime Gambino member<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q9Ir_HJX6io" width="320" youtube-src-id="Q9Ir_HJX6io"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-36506731116464627132024-01-15T21:31:00.004-05:002024-01-20T09:08:27.498-05:00Turncoat Bonanno associate takes aim at Philadelphia Boss Joey Merlino<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lGGFiu_ytRM" width="320" youtube-src-id="lGGFiu_ytRM"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-12977926020482642692024-01-09T19:40:00.000-05:002024-01-09T19:40:10.645-05:00Colombo Underboss says his net worth is $5K and is almost homeless on the eve of sentencing<p><img class="shrinkToFit" height="363" src="https://www.nydailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/DN_NYDNhout_7994012.jpg?w=1269" width="640" /> <br /></p><p>Crime really didn’t pay for a reputed Colombo family underboss — who
once again is claiming poverty as he asks for leniency when he’s
sentenced for a union shakedown scheme.</p>
<p>Benjamin “The Claw” Castellazzo, 86, is so short on cash that he
might become homeless if he loses his federally subsidized senior
housing while he’s in the can, his lawyer wrote to a federal judge this month. His net worth is just $5,092, according to his lawyer.</p>
<p>Castellazzo is slated to be sentenced for money laundering conspiracy on Jan. 22.</p>
<p>“While Mr. Castellazzo was not evicted during his approximately
six-month period of pretrial detention earlier in this case, a sentence
that exposes him to far more time in custody would risk his eviction,”
his lawyer, Ilana Haramati, wrote in a Jan. 3 sentencing letter to
Brooklyn Federal Court Judge Hector Gonzalez.</p>
<div class="s2nPlayer k-papQS7n5" data-type="float"></div>
<p>“In his late 80s, he would be homeless. Without access to subsidized
senior housing, he is unlikely to be able to afford another apartment.”</p>
<p>Castellazzo also cast himself as a brokefella with a laundry list of medical conditions at a 2013 extortion sentencing in Brooklyn Federal Court.</p> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-outstream_video" id="div-gpt-ad-outstream_video" style="visibility: visible;">
<div class="htlad-outstream_video" data-targeting="" data-unit="nydailynews.com/news/crime-public-safety/outstream_video"></div>
</div>
<p>His lawyer at the time said Castellazzo and his wife were living in a
modest mobile home in New Jersey, getting by on Social Security
payments and food stamps.</p>
<p>In a 2021 feature story about Castellazzo’s life, NJ.com reported
that he and his wife reported a combined monthly income of $1,115 when
she filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and they paid $450 a month to live in
the mobile home.</p> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility: visible;">
<div class="htlad-cube_article" data-targeting="" data-unit="nydailynews.com/news/crime-public-safety/cube_article"></div>
</div>
<p>Hard times or not, he still got hard time — Judge Kiyo Matsumoto still sentenced him
to more than five years behind bars, pointing out his decades-spanning
criminal career, and noting that he brought up his medical condition in a
2002 sentencing.</p>
<p>Castellazzo and his wife moved into a HUD-subsidized rental apartment
complex, Stafford by the Bay, in Manahawkin, N.J., in 2018. He’s lived
alone there since her death, Haramati wrote.</p>
<p>Castellazzo could face between 24 to 30 months behind bars after
pleading guilty in his most recent case, which stems from a takedown of the entire leadership of the Colombo crime family.</p>
<p>The crime family’s labor union shakedown started in 2001, and by
2019, the Colombos were trying to turn the Queens union, which
represented construction workers in New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, into a mob-run operation.</p><p>All of the 14 defendants busted in the case have taken a plea, except
for the Colombo boss, Andrew “Mush” Russo, who died in April 2022 at
age 87.</p>
<p>Haramati also argued that Castellazzo’s failing health should factor
into his sentence, pointing to how a recent detainee at Brooklyn
Metropolitan Detention Center was not sent to a medical facility for
several weeks despite a highly contagious MRSA infection.</p>
<p>“Mr. Castellazzo’s long term care cannot be entrusted to the (Bureau
of Prisons) — the BOP’s recent track record caring for sick and elderly
inmates is nothing short of appalling,” she wrote.</p><p>https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/01/08/colombo-underboss-the-claw-cries-poverty-says-he-could-wind-up-homeless/<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-54761795360214894332024-01-09T18:32:00.004-05:002024-01-09T18:32:56.926-05:00Newly minted Colombo Acting Boss's dispute with a Gambino associate<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JJRNgZ8kKgE" width="320" youtube-src-id="JJRNgZ8kKgE"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687959897060381802.post-13251689605470105392024-01-09T18:28:00.005-05:002024-01-09T19:26:15.673-05:00Italian mobster earns degree after writing 170 pg thesis confessing to three unsolved murders<p><img class="shrinkToFit" height="640" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/2023-camorra-mafia-killer-catello-57864548.jpg?resize=1147,1536&quality=75&strip=all" width="477" /> <br /></p><p>He graduated magnum cum laude.</p>
<p>An incarcerated Italian mobster is being hailed as a “brilliant”
honor student after writing a 170-page thesis paper based on his life of
crime — in which he confessed to three unsolved murders.</p>
<p>Catello Romano, 33, earned a sociology degree with the dissertation
while serving a life sentence at the Calabrian prison of Catanzaro.</p>
<p>He was convicted in the 2009 murder of a Naples councilman and other crimes, according to El País, a Spanish newspaper.</p>
<p>“My name is Catello Romano. I am 33 years old, and I have been in
prison for almost half my life, 14 consecutive years,” the thesis began,
according to the outlet. </p><p>“I have committed horrendous crimes and have been convicted of several Camorra murders. What follows is my criminal history.”</p><p>The gangster-turned-undergraduate said his first murder victims were
rising rival mobster Carmine D’Antuono, and Federico Donnarumma — a man
who was only rubbed out because he was conversing with D’Antuono at the
time of the assassination.</p>
<p>The 2008 double murder was “the most violent, traumatic and
irreparable event” of Romano’s life and left a “hole” in his “soul,” the
honor student mafioso wrote.</p>
<p>He also copped to the previously unsolved slaying of rival mafioso Nunzio Mascolo the same year.</p>
<p>“Although I cannot prove it, I am sure that he did nothing wrong to deserve death,” the repentant killer lamented. </p>
<p>The thesis recounts Romano’s non-criminal family history as the
prisoner reflected on what made him gravitate to “the allure of crime.”</p><p>“I have intimately known misery, and the negative influence it can
have, since my childhood,” he wrote, arguing that the mafia is an
attractive family “institution” for people who grew up on the margins of
society.</p>
<p>“With them, I built my new alternative identity as a tough guy, as a
mask with which to hide my inability to accept my fragility as a
teenager and as a way of surviving in a violent and extreme world,” he
wrote.</p>
<p>For Romano, violence became “a language and a way of claiming respect
and social recognition” — something, he admitted, he was not proud of.</p>
<p>The paper ultimately sought to understand “the criminal phenomenon” and contribute “to its possible prevention.”</p>
<p>“I am convinced that words are important and this autoethnographic
text aims to change the world around us,” he wrote, according to El
Pais.</p><p>Romano’s admission to three unprosecuted killings, however, has now
drawn the attention of prosecutors — who are weighing reopening the
cases and led to him being transferred to a maximum-security prison in
Padua, the outler reported.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Catanzaro University professor and sociologist Charlie
Barnao, who was Romano’s thesis advisor described the mobster as a
“brilliant student, who has gotten very good grades throughout his
course of study.”</p>
<p>“He has recounted in detail circumstances that will have
consequences; he was very determined to expose that in his thesis,” the
professor, who has taught Sociology of Survival to the imprisoned for
five years, said.</p><p>“He has put his life in order once and for all and organized the
episodes of his life to analyze them through a sociological research
method, which has also had a kind of therapeutic function.”</p>
<p>Romano worked with the state after admitting to killing Castellammare
di Stabia councilman councilman Luigi Tommasino for “meddling in too
