Reputed Genovese capo Anthony Arillotta of Springfield MA, indicted last February for his alleged role in the 2003 hit of his predecessor Adolfo "Big Al" Bruno may now be talking to the Feds. Also charged in the Bruno hit are Arthur Nigro, a reputed former acting Genovese boss, and Fotios "Freddy" Geas, a supposed sometime enforcer for Arillotta. Frankie Roche, the admitted triggerman in the Bruno slaying, alleges that he was paid $10,000 by Geas for the job.
In an ironic twist Arillotta allegedly sought Bruno’s hit on the suspicion that he Bruno, was weak and talking to the Feds. It now looks as if Arillotta is walking the same path. A classic case of Mob “Do as I say not as I do.”
The trial against the defendants is scheduled for November 1st in the federal courthouse in Manhattan and according to a source Pasquale “Scop “DeLuca may be indicted as an additional defendant in the Massachusetts case. DeLuca, 78, is currently serving a five year prison term for his part in the conspiracy to murder mobster Ralph Coppola, who was killed in 1998 and whose body has never been found.
