[Juice Terry]

Do we know if Barney Bellomo was involved in any hits?

Paul Geraci told Cookie D'Urso that Bellomo had done a lot of work for the family.

Bellomo also allegedly told Sonny Franzese in prison that he (Bellomo) was involved in the murder of Frank DeCicco, and that Chin loved him for it.

I was literally typing this when you sent it, I had to erase my post.

To expand on it a bit Geraci was telling D’Urso how the Harlem crew did most of the work for the family and that Bellomo was a part of it all and he got made at 19 because of it. So it’s a safe bet he has at least a handful of notches on his belt.

What is the source behind this? Fascinating information

What is the source behind this? Fascinating information

It's in the new book Mafia Takedown by FBI agent Mike Campi. He writes that he learned about this from a 'reliable source'. Bellomo was in prison with Franzese and talked about how he had been involved in the DeCicco murder. Franzese then shared that story with other individuals affiliated with the Colombo family.

The same book is also the source for Geraci's comments to D'Urso about Bellomo. Here's the full quote from a recording D'Urso made of Geraci:

He was all about it. Don't worry about that. That whole Harlem regime was doing all the work. He was doing all of it. How old do you think Barney was when he got straightened out? Nineteen.

Thank you. I should read the book in its entirety as it seems quite fascinating

So the presumption is that Bellomo was doing hits as a teenager prior to 19? If I remember right, his father put him with Santora prior to dying - interesting Santora had him doing hits so young.
