Head of New England Mafia to plead guilty

The head of the New England Mafia has agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Rhode Island on Thursday to taking part in an extortion plot, according to court documents filed Wednesday. It was the latest blow to a criminal organization that continues to see its power erode.

Anthony L. DiNunzio, 53, of East Boston, the younger brother of convicted mobster Carmen “The Cheese Man” DiNunzio, would be the sixth consecutive boss or acting boss of the area faction of La Cosa Nostra to be convicted.

Comments

Mr DiNunzio is a stand up citizen who is a lot less corrupt than most of our elected officials and way more likeable than the overpaid and under educated cops in Boston.

Right, and he would like as a stand-up citizen to bury his opponents alive.

I don't know about the type of citizen he was but that cheese shop used to be awesome. I haven't been there since the new owners took it over. I wonder if they have to pay him for protection in whole wheels or just a few blocks of that awesome Provelone cheese...... Relax, just a little humor for one more of the North End Italians who forgot how to be a true man amongst people. He lacks honor.

Burying people alive? Does the State offer this kind of punishment? Let's see how he would like it?

This guy is an infestation of pure evil.
