Al Trucchio

Hes also really beating the drum Al is on the shelf for life. Idk one could he have done so bad hes in bad terms. If the boss is smart he just puts him direct with him. Castllano had a few soldiers who made money report direct to him. The guy funzi Mosca a big wig in concrete and db in porno. I bet there were more.

I though Funzi was a captain...the rat Dominic Lofaro was in his crew..

^ Lofaro was in Ralph Mosca's crew. Funzi is Alphonse Mosca.

You're right. Ralphie Bones was Ralph Mosca.

I was thinking Funzi was Ralph's name. I knew Lofaro was in his crew when he got busted. Lofaro was busted for heroin dealing or offering the cops the 50k they found on him right?

I will post them here tomo for you guys re: santos trucchio GL

Also I am in the minority and believe Vinny killed Dom’s son on the sneak. I know wiseguy and pogo will disagree but i firmly believe that it was Basciano for disrespecting his kid. And not cause PB said it either.

[Pmac2]

Hate to derail the thread but why didn't dom cicale pin the murder on Vinny gorgeous. Crazy the first dug up quite doms back yard looking for the missing son must have caused his mom and siblings heartache like dad killed my brother

[Browniety86]

Did the Trucchio crew put in any work besides the Marty Bosshart hit?

If anyone takes the oath seriously of putting Cosa Nostra over blood family, I would expect it to be the top Genovese leaders. The word I would use for them is "clinical".

[Cheech]

I get it. But its come out in other cases some wiseguys did think it was vinny

[B.]

Haha, that's the problem. A Genovese leader is capable of approving his son's murder, but Basciano is more than capable of killing people on the sneak. Either one seems possible.

[Browniety86]

How tf would Hootie know Al is "shelved for life"? And what exactly did Trucchio say to Vinny at Rao's? I've watched the podcasts and Hootie is very vague about it...Was it in Part 2?

Nick Cirillo didn't disrespect Basciano Jr. They didn't have any interaction. That was misreported by the media. Here is what JD posted from Cicale's debriefings on how it went down.

Around Spring 2004 Dominick Cicale was having renovations done on his real estate office. Cirillo showed up at the office to discuss money owed for the work and Cicale told him to mind his business. Cirillo raised his voice and Cicale slapped him. Cirillo then started toward his vehicle and made a comment about getting a gun. Cicale followed him, held him against the car and started beating him so he couldn't get at any weapons. There was a guy with Cirillo who was still inside the vehicle. He told Cicale there wasn't really a gun inside so he backed off. Both parties left the scene. Almost immediately after they were gone Vincent Basciano Jr. showed up and was questioned by the NYPD who been called to the location and had also just arrived. Cirillo did not hit or threaten Basciano Jr., they weren't there at the same time.

A few hours later Cicale was summoned to meet with Vincent Basciano, Michael Mancuso and an unspecified Genovese member. It was decided since Cirillo didn't actually put his hands on Cicale there was no issue and to let it end there. The Genovese member made a call and Cirillo showed up and apologized to Cicale for his behavior. They shook hands and that was it.

Cirillo was last seen May 9, 2004. Shortly thereafter Cicale met with Basciano and Mancuso. During this meeting Basciano expressed his opinion that the Genovese were taking advantage of the recent situation between Cicale/Cirillo to get rid of Cirillo and have the blame pointed elsewhere. Basciano told Mancuso to meet with one of the Genovese leaders (poss. Lawrence Dentico) and inform them the Bonannos had nothing to do with it. Mancuso and the Genovese met and they told Mancuso they already knew the Bonannos weren't responsible and no further action was taken.

After Cicale was indicted he spent time with Dominick Cirillo at MDC Brooklyn, and Cirillo also told him he knew Cicale had nothing to do with killing his son.

I don't know why it's so hard for people to believe, especially given the evidence, that the Genovese family was behind Nick Cirillo's disappearance.

Bro. You no comprende? I dont find it hard to believe that a mafia member would have his own kid killed. I just dont believe it in this case.

[Cheech]

And dont start with the “some ppl believe” like im some gullible hillbilly on here when we both know thats not the case. Right, “Wiseguy”?
I could be wrong. Probably am but im entitled to the opinion without your condescendence. Its a forum. We all believed the same thing what would be the point. And its not like i said lucky luciano started the mafia. Ya know? Its come out in other cases that other made guys thought it was vinng on the sneak and testified to that.
