The following April, the New Jersey attorney general's office subpoenaed Bellomo, who was then in a federal prison in Atlanta serving time for a 1996 New York extortion case, to appear before a state grand jury investigating Provenzano's activities.
Barney was not pleased. Not only was the Mercer County prison a virtual hellhole compared to his digs in Atlanta — he was locked down 22 to 23 hours a day, he claimed — but he was the wrong Liborio "Barney" Bellomo.
How many Liborio Bellomos with the nickname Barney could there be? As it happens, there are at least two, according to affidavits submitted by the former acting boss, and Liborio Thomas Bellomo, a cousin who is a reputed Genovese family associate.
They are often mistaken for each other, with good reason. Their fathers are brothers, who, to make matters even more baffling, married a pair of sisters.
In court papers supporting his cousin, Liborio Thomas wrote that the two were often confused. Strangers "would incorrectly attribute to me things that were meant for my cousin," he wrote, "or they would attribute to my cousin, things that were meant for me."
