Re: Springfield Genovese chart, May 2004
Muscarella and Fusco were in Fort Dix together.
Bologna was a Gambino associate who then went with Artie Nigro. He was an FBI informant during that time, and Nigro was repeatedly warned that Bologna was no good but kept him around for some reason. He was involved in the attempted murder of Frank Dadabo and the Bruno murder. When he flipped he held back info on the Dadabo shooting and got exposed when Arillotta flipped. He died in prison.
Bruno was the captain in Springfield. The plan was to take Bruno down and make Tranghese the captain while keeping Arillotta as the one really running things in the background as a soldier reporting direct to the administration. Then Bruno got killed and it's unclear what exactly happened / who the captain position went to (if anyone).
There's also Carlo Mastrototaro in Worcester. He was a member of the Springfield crew but by 1989 he had become a captain in his own right. So there were at least two Genovese crews in the area: Springfield and Worcester.

Thanks for the information and is Jimmy Santaniello an influential player in Springfield? This article mentions that he had dealings with Bruno, Arrilotta, and Bologna/ https://www.masslive.com/news/2015/12/p ... iello.html

They were locked up at Fort Dix together. Muscarella had a serious beef with Colombo associate Vincent Posa. Fusco saw them getting into in the yard and he stepped in and beat the guy up for Ernie. Fusco complained that the Springfield crew weren't giving his family enough money while he was away so Muscarella sent a message to Artie Nigro demanding that the payments are increased. Muscarella planned on bringing Fusco to NYC and wanted him to be part of his crew after they were released.

Jimmy Santaniello is a local wealthy businessman who's has been extorted by the crew for forever. He's the nephew of Mario Fiore and has been an informant for decades.davidf1989 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2024 6:23 am Thanks for the information and is Jimmy Santaniello an influential player in Springfield?
