PAUL RAGUSA Convicted Felon and Organized Crime Associate Gets 72 Month Prison Sentence For Machine Gun Possession

[Moscone65]

Ya this Ragusa guy was definitely a lose cannon back in the day.... don’t know how much murdering he’s doing these days lol

[bert]

Ragusa was set up, that is certain, even the feds say he was by their informant. He does deserve a chance to answer the charges
(although I know that pisses people off) I stick with what Is said earlier he is not too bright, but is not much of a Gambino or Bonnano associate. The indictment has John Marzulli as contract. He was a very biased reporter favoring the prosecution in every case he ever covered. They rewarded him with a job. In a fair world, that would be a crime. Like Rudy Guilliani setting up a law firm to handle all business regarding a business ( I think it was waterfront or carting) that he had thrown the mob out of. He stepped down as mayor, and they had a 2 millions dollar a year no show job for him. He put guys in prison for less.

They’re all crooks, politicians are the worst of them...

There are much worse fuckers out there; fentanyl dealers, hoodlums shooting wildly and killing innocent people, meanwhile these fbi pricks spend their funding going after a 50 year old goomba trying to make a quick buck and get by. It’s not like he had an elaborate gun smuggling ring of his own. Jeez these pigs really are gavones...

please, this guy would kill you and your loved ones for that quick buck in a heartbeat. he'd probably also deal dope laced with fentanyl if the opportunity was there. this guy is no different from those hoodlums you're talking about.

There are worse guys out there, including as Moscone said ones who just kill innocent people. It does no mean these guys are innocent, he means priorities.

true. there is always someone worse out there. but there are feds and other cops to take care of that too. all i'm saying is paul ragusa isn't just a bookie or something along those lines, he has killed innocent people as well.

It was a fake crime manufactured by the feds

Ragusa's father is Filippo, from Bagheria. Ragusa's sister and brother-in-law owned the property where the Giannini cafe was located and both were involved in heroin trafficking along with the father. Filippo was likely on record with the Bonanno family but served as a middleman with the 18th Avenue Gambino crowd. It's not surprising there would be a connection to the current Gambino 18th Ave guys. Semplice has been described as a soldier under Mannino and comes from Agrigento.

Acting capodecina Damiano Zummo's father Pasquale was also on the fringe of the Pizza Connection investigation and got caught up in his own heroin case with other Sicilian mafia members or associates. Based on this, along with where Zummo lived and operated, he was likely one of the younger guys around the Giannini crowd, so Zummo, Ragusa, and Morena can probably date their association back decades.

Anyone know what Ragusa’s exact charges were in the 90’s? (The charges involving the Giannini crew)

It reminds me of the old Italians vs Sicilians arguments that use to break out in the neighborhood.
