Reputed Genovese Capo Anthony Palumbo takes plea

Reputed acting capo for the Genovese crime family, Anthony “Tony D” Palumbo, 61, pleaded guilty on Monday to conspiring to kill a Russian organized crime hit man in 1992. He faces 10 years in prison when sentenced Dec. 3.

Prosecutor Avi Weitzman said Palumbo and other Genovese gangsters engaged in a plot to kill a hit man for the Russian mob, but the hit was refused by higherups in the mob family and it was never carried out, said Weitzman.

The plot was tied to a bootleg-gasoline-tax scheme involving the Genovese and Russian gangsters.
In June, Palumbo was charged with getting Angelo Sangiuolo, a fellow mobster who was stealing from him, whacked in a Bronx parking lot.

As part of the plea deal, prosecutors will not pursue Palumbo for that slaying.
