Mobster hit with 16-plus years in prison
By Laurel J. Sweet Wednesday, November 21, 2012 - Updated 23 hours ago A Somerville thug federal prosecutors say was street boss of La Cosa Nostra’s Colombo Family was sentenced today to serve the next 16-and-a-half years in the slammer after pleading guilty to racketeering and being a felon in possession of firearms.
U.S. District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock actually hit Ralph P. DeLeo, 69, with a stretch of 235 months, but credited the mobster the three years he’s been sitting behind bars awaiting his fate.
“Our office continues to investigate and prosecute organized crime wherever it attempts to establish a foothold in the commonwealth,” U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz said. “We are prepared to prevent it from victimizing and corrupting any of its victims, including legitimate businesses.”
Prosecutors said DeLeo’s crew engaged in the importation, trafficking, and distribution of drugs, including cocaine and marijuana, extortion, loan sharking, and interstate and foreign travel in aid of racketeering. They operated principally in the areas of Massachusetts, Arkansas, Florida and New York, prosecutors said.
The crew kept a hidden cache of at least 11 guns, a silencer, ammunition, police uniforms, patches from at least three different police departments, wigs, masks, and zip ties.
“For the second time in one week, investigations by the FBI and our federal, state and local law enforcement partners have led to the conviction and sentencing of high-ranking LCN members,” said Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston Division. “Last week, New England LCN’s leader (Anthony DiNunzio) was sentenced and today the acting street boss of the Columbo Crime Family faced justice.
“It is undeniable the FBI and our law enforcement partners have broken the LCN’s code of silence,” he said, “and the LCN knows it can no longer rely on its sworn bonds for protection.”

smart move by the colombos, take the target off the back of their main operations in ny, get a small breather from the feds for a bit, even though it ultimately didnt work/didnt matter

I remember reading somewhere that he was caught on a wiretap saying he was really unprepared for the first time he headed a "making ceremony". Something about being picked up and having to switch cars a half-of-dozen times in the middle of the night.
Anyone recall that..? He didn't say he was unprepared, but I think he was about to tell his sister bout a making ceremony. Anyway here you go, your welcome. http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=648525

this guy has a long record he did like 25 yrs. he robbed like 10 banks killed a guys for a doctor and maybe co-operated against the doctor it was a murder for hire but it was never really confirmed. it was mentiond he made 7 guys at i think foxwoods casino or mohegan sun. you gotta wonder, i bet theres a colombo guy in brooklyn running the family probaly making guys right on thankgiving. rats never stoped them before and theres money to be made.the show must go on. anyone no if mivhael persico got sentenced i read he was looking at a sweet deal, but none of the papers followed up on it. with all the colombo guys doing life, i bet they got more lifers then any other family someone has to watch there interests. the ceremony is usually in between christmas and new years.
