Thanks for your reply what do you make of this quote from the Devil with the Devil book by Peter Lance on p.184 about the murder of Sal Scarpa 'In naming Philly Boy Paradiso as the shooter in the Sal Scarpa murder, Clemente claims that Greg Scarpa Sr. was behind his own brother’s rubout, because at that point in January 1987 Sal “told someone that he thought Greg was an informant.' also Paradiso is mentioned in this article as one of the informants in the Colombo crime family https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2157491/Angela-Clemente-reveals-FBI-informants-committed-mafia-murders-working-witnesses.html

they assumed after the fact. he would have been dead if anyone could have proved scarpa was bad. he killes his own brother who was gonna give him up...

according to Larry Mazza in his book Persico and his son Allie Boy knew Scarpa had been an informant for twenty years. Is that a violation of the rules of Cosa Nostra?

How was Frank blue eyes Sparaco connected to the Perscio faction and was he made?

Wondering how this is going to go if the article will be retracted.

He would have been The worst rat ever ...
As Rocco said.... HE SPENT MORE TIME IN PRISON THEN OUT

lol, a top echelon informat who can't even get on the street to rat....

And then before he died how many times did they try and get him released for whatever reason??? Don't you think this might of came up then?

Unless there is a 302 out there on Persico I am not believing the guy is a rat. He literally spent 90% of his adult life in prison. The doc is from 1971. a one page doc. no 302 confirming his cooperation in anyway. Shortly after he is sentenced to 13yrs. Then later is released for a very short amount of time then sentenced again. then while in prison is charged in the commission case and sentenced to 100yrs. If he was an informant ..what did he gain? Pointing to his son only getting 3yrs on a weak conspiracy case is not enough to prove he was informant. Scarpa being an informant is much more documented. Just my opinion of course

Once again....

We are talking about the same guy that published a book on Natale having been made in a secret ceremony by gambino and Bruno....

So to me this is the same as Phillip Carlo (RIP) whos credibility was destroyed ....

Very very disappointed to see ppl just run with this crap.

But also.... He is not the one to originally report it, which was orena and it is on record. So as a journalist he's not WRONG for bring it up ... But he is wrong for not looking into it a little more.

Personally I'm glad that mafia news is making front page news again.... I deffinetly see a resurgence in mafia/ black mafia television now

You would think the Daily News would fact check the hell out of the story before printing a story like that. I mean there are guys on here who knew more about what the referenced document meant than the freakin' reporter, and while that is great, that shouldnt be the case. They should have people who research the facts before printing something. I don't live in NY so I dont read that paper often, but I'm familiar with it because clip a lot of old stuff about the mafia from that paper on newspapers.com from back in the 1930's-1960's and if something Mafia related happened they reported it, with great photos and everything, but from the articles I've seen from back then, it was fact based and well reported. Maybe the paper has fell off, but the Perisco story seems like something a tabloid would print. I wonder if the Persico family will comment or sue them.
