Michael James Genovese!

[dack2001]

Didn't Lance do some local jail time over a traffic fight about 15 years ago?

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if some of the names listed here end up being revealed to have been CIs.

I would absolutely not be surprised if Michael Genovese was an informant.

Westside: Michael Ragusa, John Brescio, Silvio DeVitta, Salvatore Gigante, Albert Gallo, DiNapoli.
There’s a tonne.

Speaking of Brescio, here's an interview with him. Found it quite interesting (Its about Pizza):

I would not be surprised. This entire thread is speculation. But, Charles Porter, Lenny Strollo.......nothing ever against Genovese. Odd.

Pete Tocco, Detroit

And Tocco got busted in the 2006 racketeering case and had to do a few years.

He may have done a few years but over a 30 year period, that’s pretty successful

Porter couldn’t testify against anybody because he had already perjured himself a few hundred times on the witness stand in his 1990 RICO trial. Strollo never once met with Mike. Mike passed orders through a few people and met with nobody else. He was well insulated. Anything is possible but with Mike, highly unlikely. Strollo testified against nobody in Pittsburgh because he had no business in Pittsburgh. Strictly Northeast Ohio.

Last 30 years- Any of the Tampa guys. There were a couple in the early 90s, and the Raffa crew in 2000. But not nuch else.

[aleksandrored]

Colombo soldier Nicky Rizzo was arrested for the first time in 2011 at age 83.

My hero

Is there anything else about this guy? it is impossible for him to have been out of the radar all this time.

I was young when that initially went down, but I remember hearing about years later. The feds kept trying to send under cover agents to infiltrate Raffas operation, but he snuffed them out everytime.

I can't find much on him. Other than his arrest in 2011 and some info about his kids dying young, there isn't much out there. Apparently he joined the Orena faction during the third war, and his name appears on an FBI list of made members from 1988.

Thanks man, this guy is a legend, he went through all this mega discreetly and was only arrested once.

Was Genovese not there when Strollo was inducted?
