I guess he wanted to plant the flag in Boston but did it create any beef with the Patriarcas ?


Thanks to Black Hand forum.

1998 (Boston crew inductions):
Robert Luisi
Robert Gentile
Shawn Vetere
David Pepicelli
David Pepicelli
Robert Puleo
Paul Tanso 

Paul Tanso and another guy killed a man in 1986 but Tanso was acquitted.
Malavita,I thinked the same thing and maybe the Patriarcas was so weak in the 1990s that Philly can put a flag in Boston or was paying them a share of crew cash.
