http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columni...tory_of_the_fbiPeter Limone, a Mafia soldier from the North End who just died at the age of 83, spent 33 of those years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit — because he was framed by the FBI.
Think about that the next time you see some talking head on TV pontificating from Washington about how the FBI is the world’s greatest law enforcement agency blah-blah-blah.
Think about Peter Limone, and his three innocent co-defendants, Louie Grieco, Henry Tameleo and Joe “the Horse” Salvati. Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity — yeah, right. Grieco and Tameleo died in state prison. The only one who survives is Salvati. In 2007 Limone and the others (or their estates) were awarded $101.7 million by a federal judge, which sounds good for about two seconds until you remember the 33 lost years. Before the trial began, Martorano had gone to the boss, Jerry Angiulo, and offered to tell the true story. But Angiulo figured it wasn’t necessary. Even Angiulo couldn’t imagine a jury believing Barboza, especially considering that Louie Grieco, a World War II hero, had been in Florida the night Deegan was murdered.
But the jury bought it, and Limone remained behind bars decade after decade until Martorano began cutting a deal of his own and a prosecutor probing FBI corruption in Boston got the old 1965 records proving the frame-up.
In 2003, at age 77, Rico was called before Congress and asked how he could frame four innocent men.
“What do you want?” Rico famously sneered. “Tears?”
A year later, Rico was dead in a prison hospital in Tulsa.
Limone at least died a free man, which is more than can be said of Rico. I called Martorano yesterday. “He was a real man,” Martorano said. “He was old-school, a good guy.”
Forget James Comey. Peter Limone and H. Paul Rico — they are the real story of the FBI.

Another old guy passed away,he would deserve a great funeral even if he wasn't the real boss but had more courage than some trigger happy wannabes (damn 33 y as innocent). http://gangsterreport.com/crazy-like-a-f...ses-away-at-83/ Scott Burnstein,East Coast and Featured and Mafia and Mafia Insider Maybe he wasn’t so crazy after all. New England mafia don Peter (The Crazy Horse) Limone died early this week of cancer at 83, having successfully avoided going back to prison after being sprung nearly two decades ago following serving 30 years on a wrongful murder conviction and allegedly jumping back into Patriarca crime family affairs with both feet. Hailing from the crime family’s Boston faction, Limone reportedly was named consigliere of the Patriarca clan in 2002 and bumped up to the boss’ chair in 2009. According to exclusive Gangster Report sources, the younger generation in the New England mafia called Limone, “The Crazy Horse” due to the fact that some people thought he was nuts for returning to the fold in the mob in the wake of receiving 26 million bucks by way of a civil lawsuit filed against the government for wrongful imprisonment. In the end, Limone got the last laugh. Expect for a brief brush with the law in the 2000s, he stayed out of trouble…..and out of handcuffs and the clink. Born and raised on Boston’s Westside, the Crazy Horse became a fast-riser in the area’s underworld at a young age in the late 1950s and early 1960s, being groomed by the crime family’s then underboss Enrico (Henry the Referee) Tameleo. In 1968, Limone, Tameleo and two others were found guilty of the 1965 gangland slaying of Boston Irish mobster Teddy Deegan based on the testimony of infamous Patriarca syndicate enforcer and informant Joe (The Animal) Barboza, who as it later turned out was lying for personal reasons. Tameleo died behind bars in 1985, 16 years before two of his co-defendants were exonerated and walked free in 2001. Barboza was murdered living under an assumed identity in San Francisco, California in 1976. Per informants, the man driving the getaway car in the Barboza hit was Limone’s one-time acting boss Anthony (Spucky) Spagnolo, slated for release from prison on a federal extortion conviction later this year. Limone pled no contest to racketeering charges in state court in July 2010 and received a light sentence of five years of probation. He resided in the Boston suburb of Medford, Massachusetts for most of his adult life and is the third New England mob figure to die of natural causes in the last several months – Patriarca soldier Ralph (Ralphie Chong) Lamattina and Patriarca captain Anthony (The Saint) St. Laurent each passed recently. Lamattina spawned from the Family’s Boston wing, dying in the spring. St. Laurent ran a crew in Providence, Rhode Island and controlled gambling activity in parts of southern Massachusetts prior to losing a long battle with failing health last fall. Mobologists on the east coast expect Carmen (The Big Cheese) DiNunzio, Limone’s acting boss and protégé, to be immediately promoted to full-fledged Godfather status. DiNunzio, 58, had been the Patriarca’s underboss from 2004 until his own racketeering bust in 2008 and subsequent six-and-a-half years of incarceration. Based out of the Gemini Social Club in Boston’s North End, the Big Cheese was sprung from the can in 2015 and will officially be off parole in July.

Beat me to it. Heard it on the radio between flights. What radio station? Where do you live that it would be on the radio when it hasn't made the news in Boston yet? 91.5 FM Medford, it was a call in by someone who had worked on Limone house.

Doubling down are we? A college radio station that you can hear from the airport? Way to google radio stations and towns!

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/0...cKVP/story.htmlHere is the Boston Globe's article. And here is the hardest part of the article for me to read. During the 2007 civil trial, Mr. Limone’s wife testified that she was a stay-at-home mother with children ages 1, 4, 7, and 8 when her husband was arrested for Deegan’s slaying. She sewed drapes and cleaned homes to support her family. Her children also testified, recounting frequent trips to prison, where they would be frisked before entering and frightened by the sound of heavy metal doors clanging. Heartbreaking for the kids, not their fault.

Wow ..r u saying Gigi himself or the jerkoff that started the project..gig could have plead to 11 years, the moron went to trial against everyone's advice. Bobby plead out to a concurrent sentence not just 2 years. Other guys in case plead to heavy time as well..bobby saved Gigi, most of his codefendants didn't know him and or gave 2 shits about him, bobby spoke for him....Gigi still talks with his brother eddy...speaks volumes to me..ask around about Eddie ..but gig got a zillion years..since 1983 he's probably been on street total of 4 years, if that
