Bulger Indictment Info

[TJ]

great stuff, dixie...one note, its of my belief frank jr was made

[DPG]

- In 1991 Francis Salemme is the boss and Charles Quintina is consigliere. Who is underboss at this point? there is not one listed. James Martorano is listed as a capo and Robert Deluca as a soldier, Deluca has been a frequent companion of Salemme since atleast 1990.

-In 1968, Salemme(along with Flemmi, Flemmi and Salemme have been closed associates since at least 1967) tried to murder informant Joseph Barboza's attorney John Fitzgerald. During 1967 Salemme and Flemmi also participated in the murders of Edward Bennett, Walter Bennett, William Bennett and Richard Grasso. Salemme is on the lam from 1969-73 whe he is caught in New York, he is in jail until 1988.

It was said in the Salemme/Weadick trial, Flemmi admitted to ratting out to where Salemme was hiding resulting in his arrest and being caught. I think he also implicated Boston heavyweight Larry Zannino in the bombing, saying that they were dressed as mechanics as they got out and placed the bomb under the car in the day time it seemed (Flemmi didn't say the time of day but it was hinted it was during the day).

-In December 1991 Salemme Sr. and Deluca asked Gambino family capo Natale Richichi of Las Vegas to come to Boston in order to discuss the structure and operation of the Patriarca crime family in New England. According to the indictment Richichi was brought in and his advice sought in setting up gambling and narcotics operations in the Greater Boston area. Any more info on this? Why a Gambino capo thats based in Vegas?

Patriarca Sr. was against dealing with porn in Rhode Island so somehow Kenneth Guarino got involved and ran the porn for the New England mafia as well for the Gambino's. It seems that Richichi was a partner with Guarino because during one meeting (not sure if it was the same meeting) Salemme told Richichi he couldn't put up anymore peep shows in Rhode Island and that what he already had was Grandfathered in and any new ones could not go up. I'd assume since they had ties to Guarino that is how they knew him and why they used him in that meeting. Once again this came from DeLuca.

Oddly enough, Stephen DiSarro and Kenneth Guarino were pallbearers for Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice Joseph Bevilacqua. If I'm not mistaken the same Bevilacqua that Patriarca Sr. paid to get his pardon that sprung Patriarca Sr. into eventually being the head of the New England Mafia. DiSarro and Guarino were also involved with building some condos in Rhode Island as well.

-Francis Salemme Jr.(dead at time of indictment) was assigned to his father's crew when he became a capo. Was Salemme Jr. ever made?

I don't think I've seen anything stating he was made, but as usual I could be wrong. This time period is not quite my strong point.

-In 1981 a dispute arose between Patriarca associated drug dealer Salvatore Michael Caruana and Winter Hill associated drug dealer Frank Lepere. The dispute rose over a large load of weed being distributed by an unconnected drug dealer in which both Lepere and Caruana attempted to collect rent on the shipment. Dispute is settled by payments being made to both Winter Hill and the Patriarca family.

Another note of interest, Junior Patriarca told Salemme that DeLuca should leave Frank Lepere alone because they had a plan to kidnap him and I assume either hold him for ransom or shake him down as he was a pretty big dealer at the time.

-The Bulger group keeps a stash of weapons at the house of Kaufman located in Brookline until the house is sold in the late 1980s at which time the weapons were moved to the house of Flemmi's parents at 832 E. 3rd St in South Boston. Eventually some of the weapons are moved to the home of Kevin Weeks at 8 Pilsudski Way in South Boston

Flemmi's cop brother Michael Flemmi was convicted of moving the weapons out of their parents house.

Hope some of this helped out.

If it's ok with you Dixie I will verify all of this and add it to the original post. Michael being included in the indictment is crazy to me, all he did is move the guns and then lie about it. Hardly enough to lump him in with these guys imo.

Yeah, Guarino was reportedly paying Richichi $15,000 a month.

Where can I find this report Wise? Or is there anyway to get a copy of DeLuca's testimony

[dixiemafia]

If you'll look in the Salemme trial thread you'll see where I posted what all was being said during most of the trial, you can find most of it there.

What got Michael Flemmi was that he lied about doing it and then got caught, and with his last name and the fact that he lied they hammered him.

[TJ]

i agree, michael lied and weeks nailed him on it..thats why i laugh when people say weeks only ratted on the 2 guys that hurt him all those years..Um, no he didnt..he ratted on michael flemmi, he ratted on schneidermann in 302s the state cop moll, he ratted on the young girl who worked for the phone company who gave them info..but yes, before i go on a weeks/matarano rant, michael lied during the investigation, and weeks confirmed he indeed moved the guns, hence his indictment

I've just seen the $15k figure in a few different places.

I'll take your word for it. Dixie's as well. I'll add thr info to the original post and give you both credit.

"According to prosecutors, Guarino paid Natale Richichi, a confidante of John Gotti, and his son Salvatore $15,000 a month and laundered millions of dollars for them to prevent invasion of Guarino's porn empire, to get permission from the New England branch of Cosa Nostra to operate a precious metals business in the Northeast, and to use their influence with union officials for favorable treatment."

Guarino also knew Steve Disarro and his name came up in the Wolf Hearings as a possible informant.
