In the East Boston and Revere area's there are presence of Black gangs, Hispanic gangs, Asian gangs, and Bikers, none of this exist's in the North End. But the other groups know who the Mafia people are and respect them in those areas shockingly immensely. If you saw Mark Rossetti's bust, there are Dominican drug dealers in his case that were working for him, and paying him every month. The number one allie to the Mafia in Massachusetts is the Hell's Angels, and the Outlaws are coming around as well. If things get heavy the Angels got the Patriarca's back 100% But I will answer the question with there is an understanding among the different groups, and everyone gets along.

But I also will say that the Patriarca's are notorious for robbing drug dealers and street gangs. They get info off the street from junkies on stash apartments and high level dealers and rob them like it isnt anyone's business, and they also shake alot of them down as well. I never heard of once these street gangs ever getting violent with the Italians, but I heard of the Italians getting violent with them. I hope I answerd the question.

For any1 who may know him cono frizzi jr passed away.

I just heard that myself. Did you hear how he died?

Well Connie Frizzi Jr. has always been a junkie as well. The word on the street was he was made as a favor to his father Connie Sr. Before Sr. died he asked the Administration to make his son, and they did it because at the time he was a tough young kid and not a junkie. But like Mark Rossetti, drugs got the best of him too. I heard he was dieing, now I know unfortunately the rumor was true.

i heard it was from pneomonia

I knew cono personaly, and yes he did have a junk problem, and the past few years he was living out of state running a hotel he purchased, he recently developed diabetes and was thin as a rail, especially this past year or so compared to how heavy he was throughout his life, RIP Cono

Chico you seem to be from East Boston, am I right? I'll admit I am.

Thanks for answering my question Vinny! So it seems there may be more than the 50-60 made guys I see people say are in the family? I also didn't realize they were so involved in the drug business! Must help for the Hells angels to have their backs though.

Nick I think the 50-60 made guys is accurate. Even though I have more than 60 guys pencled in, for years now it has been hard to get your button, you really have to proove yourself loyal and capable. In the last 10 years these are the only guys that were made, Darin Bufalino, Mike Prochilo Jr, William Angelesco, Anthony Parrilo, and maybe Richard Bonafiglia. They have alot of associates, so why go through the trouble of setting up a ceremnony and everyone getting together in one spot for law enfrorcement to snap pictures, or possibly bug it.

Thanks man for the info. How does the 50-60 made guys compare to back in the day? like the 1970s? Were the family much bigger then?

Yes, I am from EB, grew up there as a kid, now live in southern massachusettes. married with kids now.

. Also made in the last 10 years was anthony dinunzio, greg costa and anthony rizzo who has since passed away.

Wasn't Anthony Rizzo only in his 40's? What happened to him? I know he was pinched in 2002 on a heroin sting. Is this the same guy?

Yup same guy. He had a massive stroke wile out on bail and died. His mother passed away bout 2 wks later. I felt so bad for his family cause both he and his mother were nice nice people. They were both 2 young. What a shame

Im pretty sure that Carmen Dinunzio and Anthony Dinunzio were made in the 1990's by "Baby Shacks" Manocchio when they were allowed to come back to New England from the Chicago LCN Family Vegas/ California Faction. Im sure the exact year would be 1995 or so, it was right after Frank Salemme was indicted and went on the lam, and when John Salemme was forced out as Acting Boss. I am also pretty sure that Anthony Rizzo was made before 2001 as well. He had done time in Raybrooke, N.Y with made guys like Anthony "Spucky" Spagnolo, and was a step-son to the elder Underboss and Revere Faction member Alexander "Sonny Boy" Rizzo. Rizzo and the Revere boys made him real young he was already a proven guy and extreme earner...

mosty with drugs though. He was considered by law enfrorcement as the most powerful soldier in the Family at one time making not thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also had sports and loansharking businesses. When he died his sports and shy action went to the Dinunzio boys "In Town" or in the North End, even though Anthony Rizzo reported to Revere. Greg Costa I guess I'll take your word on that, he was with the Medford, "In Town" Faction, which Carmen Dinunzio had control over as Underboss, he's was in real tight with him so I can't disagree.

I wonder if Rossetti will shed any light on a couple of murders in Medford/Somerville. Specifically, the Patsy Squillante hit (most likely Angelesco/Giangrande related) as Squillante was subpoenad to testify in the Bobby Rogers(?) murder trial which Angelesco was a suspec. The murder took place in Squillante's bar and he was killed shortly before the trial I think.

Also, there was a hit in Candelino's in Somerville a while back. I think the guys name was Mark Eldridge(?)or something like that. I read that a guy in a suit walked in, shot him in the face, and walked out. The guys gf chased him. He shot and wounded her. She clammed up. I don't think either of these were solved.

Well to answer the question, I believe even though Angelesco and Giangrande roamed Medford, Somerville, Everett, and Malden, their reporting place and memebership belongs to the Revere faction, which Antonio "Spucky" Spagnolo is the Captain over. So I'm guessing these murders came from the Revere Faction, or from Peter Limone, Carmen Dinunzio, and Anthony Dinunzio who as a trio controlled at the time the "In Town"/ North End/ Medford Faction. Mark Rossetti's territory is East Boston, Beachmont-Revere, Chelsea, and Winthrop. But as I'm told the top 5 guys in Boston all communicate with one another, and at the time of the murder, thats Peter Limone, Carmen Dinunzio, Anthony Dinunzio, Antonio Spagnolo, and.....

of course Mark Rossetti. So Mark I'm guessing had murders run by him by other Factions, but he was in jail alot so he might not know. But let's not forget he was a well trusted repsected man, someone must have mouthed off. I would say he has leads for the Feds on those.

. The beachmont club has a lot of young guys in there who are said to be big earners .

Are you referring to "Joe the Barber's" club? Because he has been closed for at least 2 years after his sons arrest for oxycontin distribution.

No not joe's place I know they closed down couple yrs ago. Some of the younger guys who hung out there opened there own spot back in january.

I knew everyone in that place, I dont know who you mean that opened up in January, can you specify or not? I know Eddy Gravallesse is out of business, he's the only one I know that could run his own business.

I am not tyalking bout "fast" eddie G that kid is a joke. If u know the people in beachmont then u shud know these 2 kids. I will not post there names as again I don't know if the Law knows bout them or would look on a site like this . I did make one mistake saying the club was in beachmont it is actually in medford . And it opened on super bowl sunday for a private party

Another story about Mark on that blog that I posted on here and started all this mess....LOL

Good info in that article. Thanks for posting it

http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/undercover/mafioso-mark-rossetti-arraigned-in-court-20100521

pretty good video. Old but some good footage.

This news has everyone buzzing. A lot of people are going down over because of this guy.....

Here is the question alot of people are talking about that I'm going to post, is Brian Rossetti, Mark's younger brother, safe on the street now that all this has come out? Brian is a legitimate kid with a family and a career, but is he going to be safe. We all remember what happened to John Veasey's brother in Philly, I happen to think Boston guys are more dangerous.
