Bear in mind that Lovaglio, out of the blue, walked over to Forte and smashed him in the face with a glass, seriously blinding him. Those are the facts. They were caught on camera. Now the feds are trying to allege that, just because "Al Muscles" was at the scene, he was part of the "assault-in-aid-of-racketeering." Go figure. Not to mention that this Armetta guy has no prior criminal record.

Now, the assault charge makes up one of the three counts in the indictment. The first count being racketeering conspiracy. The third count is "conspiracy to commit extortion," which Joe Cammarano Jr., John Zancocchio, Joseph Sabella, George Tropiano, Eugene Castelle, and Domenick Miniero are charged with. According to Gang Land News, this charge relates to the shakedown of a Staten Island businessman. However, the racketeering conspiracy count (the first count in the indictment) charges all sorts of "pattern acts." If a jury finds a defendant guilty of two of the pattern acts, he's guilty of racketeering conspiracy. The pattern acts are, as follows: extortion, loansharking, mail & wire fraud, murder (conspiracy, attempt, etc.) & trafficking in controlled substances.

In my opinion, for the feds to have an arsenal of allegations like that, they'll need more than Lovaglio. Probably some "John Does" who were loanshark debtors, shakedown victims, drug dealers, etc. So, my opinion is they probably have a case that revolves around more than just Lovaglio.

Just my two cents.

I hope al muscles gets aquitted of the bs forte assault charge. Goin back to lovaglio, since chances r he’s gunna be on the witness stand, i wonder if he’ll testify about mike mancuso and about the 2015 power struggle. The trial will be very intriguing.

There'll probably be no trial, slimmy. Guy will take a plea or something because even if he's acquitted on the assault charge he'll likely be found guilty of racketeering conspiracy, which could see him get up to 20 years (considering there's murder conspiracy as a predicate act).
