The Price Of Friendship: NYC Mob Aspirant “Peter Pan” Tuccio Sentenced To Decade In Can For Pizza Joint Shakedown

By Scott Burnstein
March 2, 2022

March 2, 2022 – New York mafia associate Pete (Peter Pan) Tuccio was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for extortion this week. The 29-year old “up-and-comer,” who is connected to leaders in the Lucchese, Gambino and Bruno-Scarfo crime families, copped a plea to his charges last year.

The Lucchese and Gambino crime families are based out of the Big Apple, while the Bruno-Scarfo crime family is headquartered out of Philadelphia and North New Jersey. Five years ago, Tuccio became close friends with Bruno-Scarfo clan don Joseph (Skinny Joey) Merlino and quickly began serving as Merlino’s driver and bodyguard whenever Merlino visited New York City. The belief of many following Tuccio’s case is that he is getting jammed even harder than he would be normally due to his ties to Merlino, the No. 1 target for law enforcement in Pennsylvania dating back to the early 1990s.

Tuccio’s uncle is the Lucchese’s Little Italy capo in Manhattan, Joeseph (Joe Cafe) DeSena. His case stems from a shakedown he did for deceased Gambino crew boss Ignazio (Uncle Iggy) Alonga in December 2015 where a Queens pizza parlor owner had his Mercedes-Benz set on fire for stopping sending tribute payments to the Gambinos for protection

.

A pre-sentencing memo filed last November alleges Tuccio also made debt collections for DeSena’s Lucchese’s Borgata and New York’s Bonanno crime family — he’s never been charged in either alleged incident. One NYC mob blogger reported last winter that Tuccio fell out of favor with Bonanno shot callers and was physically assaulted after sending disrespectful text messages.

Alonga died of cancer in 2016. Merlino, 59, has lived in Florida for the past decade and, according to the FBI, oversees mob affairs in Philly and North Jersey from afar, using a series of buffers and street bosses.

Peter could actually make something of himself if he’s housed with another wiseguy who actually knows that life and decides to become a mentor for Peter.
When he gets out, I wonder if they will straighten him out

Well he took the NYPD entrance exam so I’d bet that would hurt his chances of getting made in NY. Philly probably wouldn’t care tho.

Imagine the years he would have saved for himself if he had just taken a bat to the car rather than lighting it on fire? The sentence would have been hugely different, if he had ever even been caught, but I know we aren't always talking about rocket scientists.

Anyone know why the Philly guys are so close with him? Is he some sort of earner that we don’t know about ?

I think a couple different people around this case cooperated on Pete, but Pennisi had knowledge of this and supposedly saw the video of it right after it happened. I wonder if Pennisi had to include this on his debriefing and whether that added to the mix that Pete got caught up in? Not trying to drag John's name through the mud but it's a valid question. Wouldn't be surprised if Pennisi does another video about the kid now that he got sentenced.

Merlino seems to love having those young punks around, even if he isn’t sharp. Joey can take any money this kid makes off of him to keep funding his high rolling Boca lifestyle. They’re looking for loyalty and dumb muscle, not some Rhodes scholar.
