cutolo sr was slippery/slick guy in his time
"Russo became involved in the Colombo family war immediately upon his
release from prison in 1992. (Id. at 34.) Notably, in or around 1993, Persico faction leaders
Persico Sr., Chucky Russo, Jo Jo Russo and Joseph Monteleone, Sr. were arrested, along
with Persico faction associate Frank Sparaco. (Id.)
At some point in 1992 or 1993, Russo and Colombo family associates Guerra,
Tarantola, Danny Persico (the defendant’s cousin and Persico, Jr.’s brother), Anthony
Ferrara and Eric Curcio developed a plan to murder Cutolo. (Id. at 34-35.) Russo and
Guerra apprised the defendant of their plan, including by telling the defendant they had
almost killed Cutolo on two occasions. (Id. at 35.)
After Russo began plotting to murder Cutolo, the defendant asked him to meet
Curcio, who “had a line” on Scopo, which Russo understood to mean that Curcio knew
where Scopo was and that Russo and others should “do what we had to do” to murder Scopo.
(Id. at 36.) Curcio was a Colombo family associate who claimed to be related to Joseph
Monteleone, Sr. (Id. at 36-37.) Russo agreed to meet Curcio, and Russo wanted to murder
Scopo to help the Persicos maintain control of the crime family as well as to advance within
the crime family himself. (Id. at 37-38.) "
