George"Freckles"Borgesi

I've been following the trial in Philly for the last couple of months and I've reaserched about the Philly family but I can't really find much on Georgie Borgesi's past, anyone have any info on this guy, What was his role in the Merlino-Stanfa war, who made him, Was he a capo, he's apparently a high profile guy and was consigliere at one point but I can't find any info on him or his brother before he wen tothe can in 01,his brpther who's I've heard is also made and perhaps in his crew? I know one of you Philly guys probably know your an knowledgable bunch of guy,

LMAO! Anthony is not made. He's a punk and a Mamma's boy! His mom made her brother, Joe nd her son, George (the ugliest man on earth) promise her that her som would never be made and stay away from the life as much as possible. He's used as a messenger boy for George, but a real punk!

Sounds like somebody has a bad history with the Borgesi family.

I know both of them, Anthony is no punk as you claim. As for being made or connected in anyway aside from the relation to Joe and George I have no clue but my guess would be yes and he must be pretty smart to escape any kind of heat all these years considering he was dubbed a mob assoicate some 20 years ago in the paper during an arrest.

A 29 year old man and his 24 year old side kick assault a woman and a 16 year old with a baseball bat is a punk in my book,

Hate to break it to you , allot of mobsters are punks, anyway back to Georgie forget the brother

George the ugliest man on earth lmao

So after they kicked your ass did you ever do something about it

I'M SORRY JOEY FOR INSULTING YOUR BOYFRIEND ANTHONY. AND YES, I'M TYPING THIS IN ALL CAPITALS AND WITH MY MIDDLE FINGER.

People on other forums have said George is a real nut. Very angry. Very mean. If you look at pictures of him, he looks like a half down syndrome/half lunatic. People have also said that, despite his relatively small size, he can throw a very mean punch. He's also a stone killer. If I remember right, he was involved in the Joseph Ciancaglini, Ralph Mazzuca, and Billy Veasey hits, among others. He was always close to Merlino, obviously, and is related to Ligambi. His nephew, if I remember right. He was indicted as the consigliere back in the 2000 case but more recently has simply been identified as a "high ranking member."

One of those guys you don't want at the top echelon of a mob family. People say he won't flip but guys just as nutty has George Borgesi and far more powerful have turned. As far as I'm concerned, even though I think this case is a waste of time, Borgesi is one person that should stay in prison.

Dont know if thier related but Vinnie Burgese was 22-5-1/12kos as a Pro fighter..And fought Micheal Moorer in an olympic bout n think beat..And shared a cab ride with a guy named Mike Tyson to that same event..I agree about george.. but his one brother {if related} is one bad sone of a gun ..And think he still trains fighters today..

There not related.. When George gets real mad he resembles chucky from childs play ..him and angelo lutz use to play swords together

Yea that wasnt Vinnie..Yea most mobs only prey on the weak, a bat on a 16 year old..Yea im sorry but if its true..Why do they group up in a mob? Because it makesem stronger,they real weak by them selves most of them..And all because they werent getting enough work leads..Pathetic act...Yea sounds like the mob..If thier so tough the Marines are lookin for a few good men, the arymy is tooo..

Yea when i seen a pic of him i was kinda laughin..AAhh but we all got some flaws...

If I remember correctly, Borgesi was the guy who spit in the face of an FBI agent when he was arrested with Merlino when the agent suggested he consider cooperating.

Thanks for the pictures, Dapper!

Joey? Boyfriend? I have no idea who you are referring to or think I might be.

Can't stand this Borgesi fa***t. and yes he is quite possibly the ugliest man in south philly

lol

glad you liked them

Georgie is a nut from what I hear. I think its like little man syndrome. Hes short, freckles, doesn't look italian but lives in south philly so he has to make up for it. But I hear it was actually a pretty good book maker. I guess he learned from his uncle. He was the first to get pinched for mob related activity out of the whole merlino crew. If my memory serves me correctly, he was arrested on a gambling charge with Phillip Ligabmi and Uncle Joe in the late 80s. I will have to find the article. Remember Joe only did those 10 years cause of the flowers murder before it was overturned. he only had a gambling pinch when they all went away.

Here it is. Its a long article from 1986 mainly about Scarfo so I will pull up the quote about Borgesi and link out the full article from page 1.

"In a separate indictment, six people with suspected ties to the Scarfo organization were charged with promoting illegal gambling. They were George Borgesi, Sharon Coia, Philip Ligambi, Bernard Malseed, Louis DelVecchio and Louis Teti, all of Philadelphia."

If george gets another 10 years hes gonna flip

I'm keeping an eye on Nicodemo and Canalichio first, if they both flipped the Feds probabley wouldn't even need Georgie to bring them all down

But George is older then both of those guys by close to 10 years and had/has a close relationship with skinny joey. I'm sure he's bitter seeing the way that joey is living the high life and he might be looking at another 10 years...

If anyone knows did Borgesi have a father was he just raised by his mother and uncle like Leonetti

what I was always curious about was during that first trial back in 01 his wife at the time was named Dina,she seemed pretty loyal and said that Georgie was her first and only boyfriend.Apparantley Natale didn't like him either because while testifying he claimed that Georgie gave her 2 black eyes once.she said she felt very embarrassed and claimed it wasn't true.She also made some statements about a large sum of money and claimed georgie must have got a settlement from a car accident or he won it gambling.Later on the jury said they did not believe her.They lived off Kings Hwy. in Cherry Hill by the Ellisburg circle.He supposetley got divorced and re-married while in prison to this girl named Angela[something like that].The Feds can't stand him.

His first wife is no dummie she graduated from Drexel University I read an article similar to what your speaking of.

Yeah that's the one where the news team was following the wives up to and after the verdict.I remember they interviewed Kathy Chang on the beach after the trial.

is merlino still with that asian broad?

i actually feel a little bad for georgia....imagine doing a dime and just as ur about to get out u get indicted again...im almost 100 percent he gets off tho...BFL has no credibilty

GA saying it looks like a mistrial

can they be tried again for same crimes?

Yes, they can because a verdict was never reached. So no double jeopardy. The defense may have to agree to the mistrial, if I remember right. Which I have no doubt they would.

Jesus that would suck. I think if it was a mistrial i would rather just see if i can get a good plea deal. Especially if i didnt make bail. How long would it take to start another trial?

I guess it depends on how quickly the prosecution wanted to do it. They could probably bring the charges again almost immediately. But I wouldn't be surprised if they waited to see if they could get Nicodemo to flip. With him, they could include murder charges against several of the defendants and then the stakes go up considerably.

I think Nicodemo will stand up enough to go to a trial. But once hes found guilty he'll flip.

Ivy how was your date? Did you go see Harry Potter

It was fine. Saw The Impossible with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. I wipe my ass with Harry Potter.

There are more people in South Philly shaking about Nicodemo flipping than just these guys on trial - 3 unsolveds hits not including the Nicodemo hit ... We all know there are teams that typically carry the Philly hits out ... 3/4 at least ... Do the math ... otherwise associates or wise guys will be brought in too - that would crush the Philly LCN

I doubt you shared a cab ride with Mike Tyson I'm sure even if he was broke he would have some hanger-on drive him around at least... Let's not forget hes half-retarded I'm not sure he'd know the crossroads of where he was going
