80-Year-Old Reputed Mobster Sentenced for Role in Drug Ring

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-st...-mobster-sentenced-for-role-in-drug-ring

AP was not a druggie, he was a drug dealer. One of the biggest in Philly along with now deceased Louie Turra who hung himself in prison. AP was convicted of Tony Cavalieri's murder and always swore it was not him. But oddly enough ...he knew who did it. Supposedly that was little Nicky Albanese, who is serving life in prison. I knew all of these guys- see section from an article written way back.

On Monday convicted Turra hit man Nicholas Albanese, 34, was sentenced to
life in prison, and Turra adviser Dennis Virelli, 51, was sentenced to 10
years.
All four were charged last August with Turra and his father and uncle, and
eight others in what authorities said was an ambitious, violent gang that
sold more than $1.8 million worth of drugs in the city and South Jersey
between 1990 and 1995 and dreamed of muscling out the city's organized crime
family. Louis Turra, 33, committed suicide in prison on Jan. 7.

Anthony Persiano operated with Louie and ran around with whoever would make them feel like stars. AP has and always will be a scam artist and will steal anything he can from anybody he can, he was taught by his father who was also a low-life criminal. AP was actually in prison serving a life sentence when my best friend became involved with him. She was friends with his sister. Long story really short. She fell in love with him and supposedly he "fell in love" with her. What he really fell in love with was all that she did for him while he was away. The money she sent, the clothes she sent, the underwear she brought up to visits, the numerous meetings she had with various attorneys to plead his case - she believed in his "innocence" after at least maybe 7 or 9 years she stayed faithful to him. She waited for his calls. If she wasn't there to answer his call, he became like an animal. I remember telling her to get rid of him. Needless to say AP the scumbag that he is was finally freed. They lived together for years, and my guess is he was up to something back then. he always had money to throw around. We all thought that was odd for someone who just came out of prison, who knows all along he was probably ripping people off left and right.

My friend tried to keep him on the straight and narrow, keep him honest, keep him clean, he resented her for that. In the end, he cheated with a gangster chaser. She is the one who owns the restaurant with Anthony and another partner. Gotta wonder where all that money came from to open the restaurant.....on never mind...we all know where the money came from. he was scamming people out of their insurance money, and has been doing so for years.

There's much more that I would love to reveal. But for now this is it, unless you have a question. If there is anybody on this site reading this post and knows scumbag persiano, you will know who my friend is. He took her for everything she had.

Nobody cares. Nobody cares.

Ohmy
Where did Perisano grow up, go to high school?
How did he actually get connected?

HE GREW UP IN JERSEY. IF HE EVEN GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL - most likely has a fake high school diploma. He was not made - back then - he met criminals through his father who was a criminal. he started hanging around philly after he came home from prison in texas, yes AP was in prison many times. when he started hanging in philly he met louie turra and NOBODY liked him. anthony met all philly guys along the way thru the drug deals.

CAMDEN is where he grew up - then when his daddy started stealing and making money they moved to various parts of jersey

who inducted him into the philly mob merlino? some on the board think he was made by nick scarfo jr and when scarfo jr got the 30ty yrs for that fraud stuff the philly guys took all the guys who were with jr, any idea?

R U F---ing kidding me pmac??...Nicky Scarfo Jr. couldn't make toast out of bread....he had no authority or whearis to make ANYBODY.. he is ,was,& always will b a nobody anymore..Luccesse or no N.Y....What do u think,. Bobby Manna 's watchin' over him like a little baby??? or a reputable Lucc is eyeing him..HE'S IN JAIL NOW....nobody gives a shit about the last name "SCARFO" anymore.

in 2008 AP was in nicky jr crew of luchese guys running the white collar scam and gambling how he get made into the philly family? i thought anyone around nick jr was a enemy so how would this guy get made under merlino watch? only thing i think makes sense is when philly found out nick was running all these scams in south jersey and he wasnt kicking up to the philly bosses in there own backyard the second he got arrested they took all the guys earning around jr and took them to philly

Ohmy
He went to high school in camden? Is that correct?
What other towns in jersey did he live in?
What did he go to prison for , what did he do?

Ohmy , I know who your friend is. Sorry, to hear that she got scammed by AP-his own family wouldnt even let AP around their children, even before he flipped on Sammy Piccolo.

From what I was told and from pictures I have seen, AP RAT started getting involved with this FirstPlus Financial - the office was on South Street - I went there with my friend who was engaged to the scumbag, at the time. She was horrified and scared for him, because he was on PAROLE, he had regular visits from parole officer. My friend said it was not a nice feeling. She watched him lie to the officers. He started hanging around with Nicky Jr, Sal Pelullo, Sammy Piccolo, Todd Stark (the driver and wanna be gangster) few others - I don't remember what she said their names were. I remember these names because she talked about how worried she was that he was associating with these people. Everytime I talked to her, she said there was new face showing up - on the take. Low - life wanna be gangsters, bookies, drug dealers and loan sharks.

I personally do not think he was inducted or made. My friend never mentioned anything about Joey M.

Lenox - see my previous email for the answer to your question. Are you from Jersey?

Dante, that's funny because all they did was fight with my girlfriend about how much time he needs to spend with them. They are a whole other story. She doesn't talk about certain things much, scumbag/his family/ daughter/ all the way down the line put her though hell. AP was a God to them...and you know why. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

AP’s own blood wouldn’t let him be around their children long before he flipped on Sammy Piccolo, I know this for a fact.

Yes OHMY.
I am from jersey. I know who the guys in the bust are joey electric and Gallicio.

I know who your GF is, wont say her name on here but her initials are PG. She's a nice hard working, honest girl we have some mutual friends. Hope shes doing well, I havent been to the restaurant since AP flipped, its on my list to visit again though.

im going to philly this year. i heard there aint shit to do there. i love its cause always sunny. rocky and i read some mob stuff down ther. air bnb i want a pent house in the hood for 99 a night. no i goung there soon.

Stay in either Center City or South Philly

We just got out of Chef Vola”s another great dinner and three bottles of BYOB old friends good food.

Bone-in Veal Parm?

veals gross imo. always picture a little babby cow chained to a fence before it gets killed

Ha Dante

You know the menu.... I had Saltimbooca on special

Pmac : you are funny yeah Italians do eat some veal .

Veal is my go to meal at italian restaurants. Veal tells you a lot about the quality of a restaurant. Usually, very tender veal equates to good food.

Yes “ as a rule if a owner is going to skimp on quality it will start with the $$$$ and quality of veal that he or she buys.

sorry but PG IS NOT who I am referring to.

he was engaged to my friend, took her and used her for years while sitting in prison. came home "acting" like a person who wanted to do the "right thing" but once a crook, always a crook. EVIL is what I always thought. Dark shark eyes, always looked away when he talked to you. During the that time wen he came home, he started to run around and THATS when PG came into the picture. He said she likes the gangster type. They supposedly got married. Now look what she has, a rat husband who is hopefully in prison rite now.

lol

AP’s own sister won’t allow her kids around him , I know that for a fact.

OK I thought PG was your friend but your friend is before PG. I don’t know your friend. I know PG through a mutual friend I run around with in AC area.

The recent coke bust this week is more of AP’s ratting work. They had this indictment back in 2016 and finally unsealed it a few days ago, then release reward money and pictures of DiPietro hit, and now Sonny Mazzone and 4 others get picked up yesterday AM by Feds. There’s a lot going down right now....

I always forget that AP brought an undercover FBI agent into the fold so I highly doubt they will put AP on the stand, Jacobs would have an absolute field day on AP .

They will use the FBI undercover agent that AP brought into the fold up on the stand. That will be tough , even for the best Criminal Defense Attorney on the planet that is Eddie Jacobs to tear apart.

If you don’t put together a good hit and clip these rats then they all may end up in for life . There is a chance that one rat can bring down the top five in Philly just like how Nick’s crew all went down.

I think you are spot on with that especially if they knock a few of these guys with 20 years on some of the bs drug charges; philly is nailing the coke shipoments into town, they got a big shipment at the packer terminal last year; i mean it could have been for camden but same thing
