Three Men Indicted for Lying about Casino Land
Allegedly Concealed Charles Lightbody’s Financial Interest from Wynn Resorts and the Massachusetts Gaming Commission

http://www.justice.gov/usao/ma/news/2014/October/LightbodyPR.html

Lightbody been around forever on revere...a serious guy

Doesn't he own that fleabag strip joint place in Revere too..?

Plus, they should be worried about DeNunzio and Gattineri, they're the made guys and Lightbody gets all the press...

Never saw them mentioned as made..

He's gotta be high ranking associate if not made seeing who his relatives are? They probably dont make alot of guys over there so he is probably treated the same.

Both DeNunzio and Gattineri are 100% made guys, the funny things is Lightbody was suppose to be the clean front man, lol...

Wow, have to be honest, I hadn't heard that they were made guys. Nor has that been reported in the news. But I'm not an expert either. Usually the news around here grabs onto headlines when guys are actually in the mafia.

Is this Denunzio any relation to the 'Cheese' family?

I would have to believe that this DeNunzio would be the first Harvard/MIT graduate to a made guy in the mob, in the world most likely. Which would make him both very smart and very stupid at the same time...

Neither of them are made....Charlie Lightbody is a lot of things but a clean front is not one of them. Don't kid yourself-Charlie is the only street guy of the 3.

Az- you can't be from Boston........you couldn't be more wrong.

Apparently the FBI is digging in Rhode Island right now in regards to a mob murder. No clue if it's a recent or old hit. No other info at the moment.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A backhoe unearthed dirt and sand Tuesday on property associated with a Providence man who is accused of having New England Mafia ties, while an FBI spokeswoman confirmed that federal agents are working in the same vicinity.
The focus of activity was just off Woodward Road, behind a building that’s among a handful of old mill buildings at the intersection of Woodward and Branch Avenue.
The complex encompasses 725 Branch Ave., a converted mill building, where FBI agents recovered 1,400 marijuana plants this past August.
During that raid, the 69-year-old owner of 725 Branch, also the owner of a company named Branch Realty, was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to an FBI affidavit in support of William Ricci’s arrest warrant, an informant reported that Ricci “is a long standing New England La Cosa Nostra (NELCN) associate.”
During the day of the raid, investigators seized marijuana plants, about $14,000 and a .22 caliber firearm and ammunition, according to a news release.
On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the agency’s Boston office, Kristen Setera, confirmed that FBI investigators had been working in the area of Branch Avenue and Woodward, but she declined to characterize their work, aside from saying the efforts are part of an ongoing investigation.
Setera would not answer questions regarding any connection between the digging and the Ricci case.

I live in AZ, grew up there in Boston. A child hood friend of mine is involved with two North Shore strip clubs, he has many friends tied in deep and he says they are. Harvard or not, DeNunzio wanted influence & muscle and "they" (LCN) wanted the construction exposure. I guess DeNunzio's father had longstanding ties to the North End so Harvard or not he was made part of the family....and you think Gattineri is just some guy?

Heck, NE LCN is a different bird, rumor long had it one of Marvin Haglers trainer was made in the 70's so he wouldn't get messed with or have his fighters encroached on.

....and BTW, the place they are digging, the guy that owns that building was very tight with Bobby DeLuca.....

Sorry Mike an answer: in US for be a graduate you must go to an university?
Because Don Carlo ' s son Thomas also was graduated but dont go to an university, there is a thing that I don't understand ?
For me dinunzio is stupid for joint the mob and dont become a white collar criminal.

Dear AZ- good morning. Hope the weather out there is nice. Your friend is pulling your leg....... Neither of those guys are made-end if story-they're both shitting their Dockers that Charlie plays nice. They guy that owned the land in RI was close w Deluca but he also go popped in a federal drug bust so at 69yrs old.........Deluca flipped forever ago-if this came from him the hole would have been dug up a year ago.

I remember reading that the DiSarro hit was a Salemme production, that Cadillac Frank's late son Frank Jr. garroted him. Not sure how true that is. But if true, the only one left to pay for it is the retired former boss.

Yeah, not sure Furio. But in order to graduate, you have to go to the school. Unless you attended the School of Hard Knocks.

Here is the lastest info on that FBI digging site:

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The digging behind an old Wanskuck mill building continued Wednesday as some media, including WPRI and the Boston Globe, reported, citing unnamed sources, that the federal agents’ work at the location is based on a tip that a South Boston nightclub manager might be buried there.
The Boston Globe reported that federal prosecutors believe they know how and when Steven A. DiSarro, of Westwood, Mass., was killed after he disappeared in 1993 but they’ve never charged anyone in the case.
DiSarro, a Federal Hill native and real estate developer with ties to organized crime figures in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, was reported missing by his wife after he disappeared in 1993.
Related content Photo: RI State Police on site of FBI's Providence digHis gray Mercury Marquis was parked at the Channel, a South Boston nightclub that he co-managed, around the time of his disappearance. The club had been linked to the indicted son of reputed New England mob boss Francis P. “Cadillac Frank” Salemme.
In 2004, Salemme was indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston on two counts of obstruction of justice for making false statements about what he knew about the murder of DiSarro, according to WPRI.
At various times Wednesday, Rhode Island State Police K-9 dogs and their handlers were brought onto the site of the digging in a vacant lot just off Woodward Road, directly behind a building that’s among various former mill buildings off Branch Avenue. Early last evening someone from the medical examiner's office visited the site.

For what it's worth, Scott chimes in here. He implicates DeLuca, Rossetti, and Jackie Salemme as well.

Howie Carr chimes in

Hope the state grows some balls and charges someone with his murder but since the fees gave the boss frank a pass his son died and Steve flemmi is doing life what's the point. But this goes back to whiteys statchur is that the word? In Boston he may have not more clout then flemmi shit I bleive he didn't. Flemmi had the connections with the north end and prov. Also he was a winter hill associate from the jump. But let's says 30000 a week is crazy for a skim in 93 if salemmi his son n flemmi split 30000 a week that's not bad an more believable. Were was whitey. Flemmi must love it whiteys dieing in jail with him but flemmi got all his people a pass.

3000 a grand each a week I think. But frank salemmi told so many lies on stand what the fuck are they doing digging for anyone. I'm not saying that bum fed connely is innocent but he didn't kill that guy down Florida and for the gov to do what there doing to him just isn't right in are day of viral videos.

that is what a cooperator said and the g believes..they put frank back in the hole for many months trying to break him..he has denied his son and brother had anything to do with it. i think both his brother and son are dead..does anyone know?

Jackie is still alive and active.

In the early 90's I use to go to the Channel a lot, after it turned topless. I could walk there in 15 minutes from where I lived. I saw Cadillac Frank there many time with his crew...it's one reason I started researching local Boston mob lure,

I wonder why it took Bobby D all these years to give up the body if it's really Disarro they found.

I got the feeling that it was the property owner. billy Ricci, who may have provided the info as he is jammed up on drug charges

Wow, it looks like this DiSarro family has just run into some horrible luck. Not only does it appear that the body found is most likely Steven DiSarro, but it appears that his son and namesake, Steven DiSarro Jr., died suddenly on last week leaving a wife and very young child. What a horrible week for them if they are indeed related. I think they are.

Looks like Moretti and Cipolla were part of a gambling bust back in 1999 that included Patriarca members Anthony St Laurent and Rudolph Sciarra.
