Post-2000 Murder Conspiracies

There could’ve also of been a plot to whack John Pennisi around 2017. Pennisi testified that he saw two people he believed were hitmen, which led to him cooperating.

[Wiseguy]

Did anything ever come of the Bonanno associate who got killed in the drive-thru? I remember they got a member of the Bloods street gang but don’t remember if it was actually ordered by the Mafia.

Also they tried to hit the son too a few months prior

A few Blood members were charged but that's about it. Never saw anything else, including the theory about Albanians behind it, confirmed.

Ah that’s right, I remember seeing that theory now. It was supposedly over some joker poker games or some other form of electronic gambling right?

Yeah, that was the working theory.

in 2012 Matthew Madonna attempted to hire Arnold Lawson to whack Ernest Aiello

Steven Crea allegelly wanted to kill Carl Ulzheimer in 2012/2013 over the beef with the bonnano family, althought vincent bruno is now claiming it was over somehthing Carl said to his sister to protect crea.

What’d Aiello do and why did the hit never happen?

An indictment or detention memo described a dinner attended by Aiello and Crea Jr., among others, that involved problems between the Lucchese family and Aiello. It wasn't a sit-down, but a social gathering where the issue boiled to the surface. I don't recall this detail about Madonna and a planned murder, but there was definitely a problem between Aiello and the Lucchese family in the Bronx.

Anyway, thanks for the contributions so far. Will edit these into a list a bit later.

That case didn’t seem mob related. The Bonnano associate prob robbed some drug dealer tied to the bloods and that lead to his death. Just me guessing but i doubt the killing was related to the Albanians either.

It'll probably come out in the future on who and why he was whacked and by who . The G is probably building a nice case off this hit , Future Gangland news, Future indictment lol... We'll just have to wait and see ! It's too quiet to end up as nothing, I dont believe that at all that it was just some bloods and supposed Albanians and case closed . This will most likely be tied to a future case . How many get busted and for what ? Like I said we'll just have to be patient and wait and see ...Future news

[Bklyn21]

These days all these guys plan and conspire to murder everyone and do nothing ! If they actually did kill people they'd be in much better shape, These guys today are scared of they're own shadows, By the time they plan a hit and then actually attempt to carry it out they're all in jail and everyone knows. These guys today are some funny bastards ! They gotta sit around and wait until the real killers and gangsters come outta prison . In the next few years we have alot of real gangsters coming outta prison so we should have some nice news and indictments on the horizon

In Spring 2004, Colombo family member Vincent “Chickie” DeMartino and Colombo family associate Giovanni Floridia were convicted for their participation in the attempted murder. In Winter 2006, Colombo family associate Michael Spataro was convicted for his role in the attempted murder.


apx in June and August 2006 , pashko skoda killed nicholas curanovic in a dispute between neighbors in 2001, chris curanovic a Colombo associate wanted to avenge his brothers death when Skoda got out of jail. he ran it by Michael Catapano who approved it (he also wanted to counsel Sonny franzese ). but told him to wait as he would be the main suspect and bring police scrunity ,

Good topic here.

Off the top of my head..

The Genovese associates that used the Crips to try to hit neighborhood tough guy Joseph Bonelli.

While not necessarily a planned hit, Colombo captain Anthony Russo held a card game in the Bronx after shutting down a competitor nearby and had instructed his guys to be armed and ready to “shoot the shit” out of his competition should they have tried to retaliate during their game

In the Tommy Shots thread Gohn had mentioned that Teddy Jr also had planned to whack out George Fanelli as well. Hoping my man Gohn has any more detail regarding that planned hit?

That makes two attempted hits on Bonnelli - one from Basciano (Bonanno), the other from Debello (Genovese).

In the Basciano book it said that a Bonanno crew went and shot up Bonelli's house.

There was another blurb in that book about Basciano having committed and "under the radar" murder on Francis Lewis Blvd at a social club in Whitestone, Queens. No one knows who, and no one knows precisely where. It was in the 90s though.

In 2016/ 2017 Joseph Servidio and Carl Chianese conspired to kill an associate only identified so far as 'individual 3'

Correction from my previous post, the date was July 2017, not 2016/2017.

From the indictment of Chianese, Gallicchio and Servidio:

On July 6, 2017, CS-1 conducted a consensually recorded meeting with JOSEPH SERVIDIO. During the meeting SERVIDIO stated that he and CARL CHIANESE intended to shoot a Philadelphia LCN drug trafficking associate (Individual 3) whom SERVIDIO suspected of talking openly and disparagingly about SERVIDIO’s criminal activity. After informing CS-1 that he and CHIANESE had at one point waited outside the intended victim’s residence for three hours, and that his intention had been to conduct the shooting inside the residence when the victim was alone, SERVIDIO said, “…Me and Carl got two phones, just (exclusively) for this, you know… the thing is everything is away, I’ve been leaving my phones (SERVIDIO PHONE 2 and SERVIDIO PHONE 3) home, I made him (CHIANESE) leave his EZPass home, we paid cash, you know.” […] Your Affiant believes that SERVIDIO was informing CS-1 that by leaving his other cellular telephones (which are subscribed in SERVIDIO’s true name) home, and by using cash instead of EZPass, law enforcement could not use electronic surveillance to track their location or to place those devices in the area of the residence of the intended victim.

Earlier in the document, Individual 3 frequently meets with Servidio, CS-1 and others, with CS-1 describing Individual 3 as being 'with' him. So it looks like Servidio and Chianese were looking to shoot someone who was perhaps on record with Persiano.

[chin_gigante]

From the footnotes:

After learning of SERVIDIO’s stated intentions, the assigned FBI Agents and other law enforcement worked on a plan to secure the intended victim’s safety while not jeopardizing the covert nature of the investigation. As a result of these efforts, the intended victim was not harmed.

Colombo Family Post-2000 Murder Conspiracies. This list may not be complete, but it is all I can think of at the moment.

Jan. 2000 - Colombo soldier Dino 'Big Dino' Calabro was inducted into the Colombo family during this month, after which he was placed in Colombo capo Ralph Lombardo's crew in order to "get close" to him and then assassinate him. This murder was ordered by acting boss Alphonse Persico, who feared Lombardo was an informer, and passed through capo Thomas Gioeli. The contract was later passed onto acting capo Paul 'Paulie Guns' Bevacqua. The murder contract lasted until 2002 and was presumably cancelled after Lombardo was arrested for loansharking in May 2003, dispelling the notion that he could have been an informer.

Jan. 2000 - Colombo soldier Dino 'Big Dino' Calabro was tasked with murdering an individual named "Fat Tommy" following in induction into the crime family. The murder was ordered by consigliere Joel 'Joe Waverly' Cacace, of whom "Fat Tommy" was a partner with in a computer business.

July 16, 2001 - Colombo soldier Joseph 'Joe Campy' Campanella was shot and wounded by Colombo soldier Vincent 'Chickie' DeMartino and associate Giovanni 'John the Barber' Floridia. The attempted murder was authorized by acting boss Alphonse 'Allie Boy' Persico and underboss John 'Jackie' DeRoss over tensions between Campanella and the crime family over the murder of William 'Wild Bill' Cutolo and fears that Campanella would become an informer.

May 25, 2004 - Colombo soldier Theodore Persico Jr. and associate Edward Garofalo Jr. sought permission from Colombo soldier Craig Marino to murder Marino's driver and Colombo associate George Fanelli and, along with Colombo soldier Daniel 'the General' Persico, associates Carmine L. Persico, Walter Samperi and cooperating witness Kenny Gallo, prepared and cleaned pistols to be used in the assassination.

Jun. 2005 - Colombo associate John Capolino discussed a desire to murder an associate of Bonanno soldier Michael 'Mike the Butcher' Virtuoso, and bragged about chasing him with a rifle and a blackjack. Capolino later received authorization from Colombo acting capo Michael Catapano and Colombo soldier Anthony 'Flemmo' Famulari to commit the murder.

2006 - Colombo underboss John 'Sonny' Franzese allegedly met with the Gambino family's Howard Beach crew to discuss the murder of former Gambino acting boss John 'Junior' Gotti due to his public declarations that he had quit the mob. This murder attempt was likely never attempted or even planned.

Jun. 2006 - Colombo associate Christopher Curanovic planned the murder of a man who killed Curanovic's brother by discussing who would commit the murder, Curanovic's alibi, and the "perfect place" to commit the murder. Colombo acting capo Michael Catapano agreed to seek authorization from Colombo underboss John 'Sonny' Franzese to commit the murder in January of 2007. Curanovic asked cooperating witness and proposed Colombo member Gaetano 'Guy' Fatato if he would commit the hit, to which Fatato agreed.

Late 2006 - Colombo soldier Michael 'Mickey' Souza conspired to murder Bonanno associate Hector Pagan. The plot came after Souza's attempts to extort ABar, a Staten Island construction company, of which Pagan was affiliated. Souza was arrested in Dec. 2006 before the murder could take place, although he showed off a silenced pistol to a cooperating witness that he planned to use.

Jan. 2007 - Colombo underboss John 'Sonny' Franzese' discussed murdering his son, cooperating witness John Franzese Jr., and asked cooperating witness Gaetano 'Guy' Fatato to be a member of the hit team.

Jan. 2008 - Following a multitude of subpoenas, Colombo soldier Joseph 'Joey Caves' Competiello was ordered by Colombo acting boss Thomas 'Tommy Shots' Gioeli to murder Lucchese associate Anthony "Tigger" Dellavecchia, because they suspected Dellavecchia of cooperating with the government about the 1994 murder of Joseph Miccio. Competiello sat outside Dellavecchia's last known address in order to keep tabs on him for an upcoming murder, but he could not locate Dellavecchia.

Jan. 2010 - Colombo ruling panel member Theodore 'Skinny Teddy' Persico Jr. provided a list of people whom he suspected of being cooperating witnesses to Colombo associate James Bombino and other co-conspirators, in contemplation of a future arrest. Bombino stated in a consensually recorded conversation that Persico Jr. intended to go "out in a blaze."

July 2, 2010 - Colombo associate Nunzio 'Nicky' DeCarlo drove the getaway in the murder/robbery of Lucchese associate James Donovan. This was not a planned murder conspiracy.

Aug. 2010 - Colombo acting capo Anthony 'Big Anthony' Russo ordered his crew, including Colombo soldier Joseph 'Joey' Savarese, associates Ilario 'Fat Larry' Sessa and Giuseppe 'Pooch' DeStefano, to load up with weapons and "shoot the shit" out of members of a Gambino family-protected gambling club. Russo expected Gambino associates to enter Russo's card game after Savarese assaulted the rival gambling club's operator, who was under the protection of Gambino ruling panel member Joseph 'Sonny' Juliano.

Nice list Gohn. Would’ve been interesting to see what would’ve happened if some of the murder plots were carried out.

[richard_belding]

In 2003, crew members loyal to Patsy Parrello planned to kill Victor Mirdita for allegedly murdering the Bronx captains son. Although Mirdita was warned and the murder not followed through, allegedly involved in the plot were Ronald “Ronny The Beast” Mastrovincenzo, Israel “Buddy” Torres, Anthony Zinzi & Bradford Wedra

Thanks. I had that wrong. It was apparently Bonelli who shot up somones house, and also the "Villa Somona" restaurant. Someone at the restaurant owed the Genovese 8k. A link from cosanostra news ( take with a grain if salt, but I think it's in the he Vinny gorgeous book too)
