After a court decision issued not that long ago, the FBI has been forced to release more records about its decades long agreement with Colombo member Gregory Scarpa Sr., one of its most trusted Mafia informants.
Angela Clemente who has investigated the corrupt relationship between Scarpa and his FBI handlers for many years are about to dig deeper into the secret FBI files and hopefully she will be able to expose the truth about, for example, Scarpa´s alleged role in finding the bodies of KKK victims down in Mississippi in the early 1960s. This is an incident that cannot be found in Scarpa´s files, released for public view some months ago.

Another thing that will hopefully come into light, with Angela Clemente´s help, are the numerous murders Scarpa ordered or commited, with help from his FBI handlers. According to Angela Clemente, one of these murders was the murder of Scarpa´s brother Sal back in 1987 that not yet has been solved.
Newspapers of the day hinted that this murder was racially motivated, even if the police investigators never confirmed it.

The Utica Daily Press, Jan 16, 1987 (for example) reported it this way:

"Police say robbery motive in reputed mobster´s death"

"Reputed Mafia soldier Salvatore Scarpa apparently was shot dead in a holdup, not in the kind of arranged murder that can presage violent tumult in the ranks of organized crime, police said yesterday.
Yet numerous questions remained unanswered about Scarpa's fatal shooting Wednesday night in a Brooklyn social club [located at 1275 74th street in the Dyker Heights section], and investigators said they were not ready to make any conclusions about the case or its implications.
"It appears to be a robbery. There is no indication of there being a hit right now," said Deputy Inspector Roy Richter, the police official in charge of the investigation. But as a holdup, he noted: "It is very unusual."
Five intruders, at least some of them armed, burst into the club shortly before midnight, ordered Scarpa and the nine or so other patrons to lie face down on the floor and began taking their cash and jewelry, Richter said.
One of the holdup men spoke with Scarpa, and witnesses heard Scarpa say. "I won't do it." Richter said. The robber then fired his weapon, striking Scarpa, 57 twice in the head and once in the back, wounding him fatally.
Four of the holdup men were blacks, the fifth wore a ski mask. A witness told police that one of the robbers said. "Remember Howard Beach." —apparently referring to last month's attack by a white gang on three black men in Howard Beach, Queens. However, police did not classify the case as racially motivated."

/// According to Angela Clemente, the robbery motive didn’t make sence to her because Sal’s Brother Gregory was not upset about this and did little to nothing to solve his own brother’s murder. She wrote this about the special circumstances surrounding the murder:

"In 2006 I caught a big break in the case. Someone came forward with a critical piece of information that gave me the motive and substantiated my suspicions. I learned that the lone masked man was Phillip “Philly” Paradiso, who was an FBI informant at the time of the murder. FBI Agent George Hanna was the handler for Paradiso. I also learned that a detective contacted Agent Hanna to ask him if his informant had ever pled to any other murders and the answer was no. He further asked Agent Hanna if he could speak to Paradiso and the answer was once again a stern no....

...I determined the motive being a conflict that arose between Sal and his brother Greg when Greg found out through his “law enforcement source” that Sal’s good friend Matty Ianiello (not to be confused with Matty “the horse” Ianiello) was an informant. Greg knew his brother was close to Matty and knew that they were doing business together so Greg told Sal to stay away from Matty. This angered Sal and he made it clear to Greg that he did not believe him. But Sal went even a little further than that and told someone that he thought Greg was an informant and he was going to go to someone about it. Word got back to Greg about what Sal was going to do and this is what pushed Greg to order his brother’s murder and proceed to kill Matty Ianiello...

... But in the 1990’s a man being held for different murders doing twenty-five to life wrote a letter to the REDACTED and the REDACTED office and it stated the exact circumstances revolving around Sal’s murder. In the letter he admitted to being the shooter and it named Philly Paradiso as being in the club. The REDACTED office sent two guys from the homicide squad to interview him. Alarmingly and for unknown reasons Gregory Scarpa was not arrested nor was Philly Paradiso both of whom were government informants at the time of the murders."

///I post this because I fully support Angela Clemente´s invastigation and research. Hopefully, she will be able to expose the full and ugly relationship the FBI had with Scarpa Sr.

would'nt carmine sessa know something about it? but it makes sense greg had to kill him before he went to there boss and greg couldnt get permission to wack his brother cause it would look bad so he had to do a sneek job with guys from another family. what if the killers were all fbi informents that greg knew. a fbi infomant hit team. thats crazy. the guy philly paradiso wore a wire on gotti's friend tony roache 1 of the shooters of big paul got roache in a herion case which he got 20+yrs. philly paradiso has a brother micky boy who a captain in the gambino family today.but for greg to kill his own brother is nuts, but iguess in his head it was him or me.

I didn´t know the Paradisos were brothers.
Your twist sounds plausible, because the killing of Sal Scarpa might have been an unsanctioned murder. If Greg was involved, to make it look like a robbery seems to have been a perfect set up. Thanx for the input, Pmac.

3 black guys didnt were masks but the one white who pointed out sal to the black male shooter wore sometype of mask. some one that was there reconized philly paradiso. the guy called messy marvin seen him in the club, theres alot of stories on gangland about him. yeap this philly set up tony roache with the undercover cop and his brother got a big sentence for herion trafficing. philly may have set him up to. but how long did philly and greg no each other were C.I.s. paradiso brothers were from brooklyn close to gotti. i think philly was a junkie if i remember correct. its capeci gotti book, well researched.how tony roache got setup.

Philly Paradiso is mentioned in the book the "Brotherhoods." He is the brother of Mikey Paradiso. I don't know if it was the FBI or NYPD, but they got Philly Paradiso to wear a wire on Jimmy Hydell (the guy Mikey boy Paradiso and Angelo Ruggiero use to kill Casso, and was eventually tortured and killed by Casso)after he killed a teenage girl and buried her. It wouldn't shock me one bit if Greg Scarpa had his brother killed, the guy was one treacherous bastard.
