Hey any info on conrad ianello
I'm a genovese family buff and I never herd.of him just that he was arrested and that he is half German which is odd since he is a capo ...
Thanks in advance

Hes going to be in jail for the next 3 or 4 years for shaking down the san gennaro festival, among other things, back in 2008. And his uncle being the powerhouse he was makes it pretty easy for people to look past him not being 100% italian. Ianello also seems to have quite a bit of influence in the carpenters unions.

Didn't know he was half German. He's a powerhouse in the Genovese family according to many on here.

Half German did not know that is it fact or fiction.

no idea whether its true or not, i was just saying it wouldnt really matter either way seeing who his uncle was.

His Uncle passed away last year no?

Iv Herd that he is half German a few times plus with the name conrad I don't think it translates to anything in Italian.

Wouldn't be the first time that somebody half german held a lot of sway in the mafia. Remember Joe Watts of the Gambino Crime Family?

And watts was trusted by gotti so much he was back up in the castellano/bilotti murders

Ya thats right

gotti changed the rule in the 80tys about 100italian so his son could get in with no hassle. vitale said they last mini commission meet in 2000 massino changed it back to 100percent. im sure thers probably aton of guys in the 5 familys not 100.

when Sammy meatballs got caught on wire talking to cookie durso talking about anite in 1999 when his son and 14 others got made and leo was officiating it with larry d. that a lot of guys maybe Conrad was one. then you got aritolla the rat from springfield who said he got made in august 03 with 1 other guy. so the Genovese just keep filling there ranks when ever they want.

He inherented one of the family's biggest crews he's got major pull.

Genovese associate gets sweet sentence

BY John Marzulli June 28, 2014

It was a bittersweet sentence for a reputed Genovese mob associate convicted of conspiring to keep a rival union local from organizing workers at a Long Island chocolate factory.

Robert Scalza, 60, the former secretary treasurer of Local 713 of the International Brotherhood of Trade Unions, will serve six months of house arrest at his Manhasset home instead of the one year behind bars that he faced.

But Scalza lost his lucrative $260,000-a-year post and is barred from holding any union position for three years.

“The loss of my life’s work and the humiliation has cost me dearly,” Scalza told Brooklyn Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis.

Scalza sought the help of powerful Genovese capo Conrad Ianiello when another union local tried to organize the unidentified chocolatier workers. Ianiello sent an emissary to threaten the secretary treasurer of Local 621 to back off from organizing the workers, according to court papers.

“Organized labor protects the rights of hard-working people, and unfortunately, Mr. Scalza, you made a mistake with your associating with someone who did not have those same interests,” Garaufis said.

Scalza was also fined $15,000, but he’s worth a reported $5 million, putting him in a category where union workers are not members.

Looking at the cases involving the crew in recent years, it's certainly diversified. Garbage hauling in Connecticut, sports betting, large-scale card games, loansharking, the San Gennaro Festival, and labor racketeering in several unions including the Teamsters, Carpenters, Journeymen & Allied Trades, Bricklayers, etc.
