Only on FOX 29 News: Former mob boss Joey Merlino is in trouble with the feds again, and this time it could land him back in federal prison.

Court documents just obtained Friday afternoon by FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser show that Merlino allegedly met with reputed South Philadelphia mob captain John Ciancaglini and two other convicted felons at a Florida restaurant and exclusive cigar bar in Boca Raton, Fla., back in June.

Federal probation officers say that violates the conditions of his release from federal prison three years ago.

The 52-year-old Merlino has been living in south Florida. He was scheduled to get off parole this Sunday. That is now on hold.

Federal prosecutors are seeking a hearing before a judge to revoke his supervised release.

It can be anywhere from the balance of the time, which would be ridiculous because he's scheduled to complete supervised release this week. Or what's more likely is, he'll have to serve out whatever time he had left when he was paroled. You know I don't follow Philly, but if memory serves he got out about two years ago, right?

So I'd say that if they really want to stick it to him, it would be for the two years that he was free. And or course, it's also possible that the Feds are getting ready to hit him with something bigger and they want him in prison when they do it (hmmmm, who has a retrial coming up that might have something to trade?).

Also, the chances that Merlino doesn't end up spending the rest of his life in prison just seem really low to me.

Being in a one family town is bad news. Loving the splotlight, ordering murders... He is lucky he hasn't been locked up for life already.

That is right around the the time that Eddie Jacobs went down there for a deposition from Skinny.

Eddie's health hes not been good ,so for him to fly in and fly out the next day ,had to be kinda important.

How ironic that they went to the same cigar bar.

I'm not a Joey fan. But to be fair, handing out turkeys to South Philly Mama Leone's on 13th and meeting Chang and a couple guys at a cigar bar thousands of miles from South Philly aren't exactly apples and apples.

Federal prosecutors are seeking a hearing before a judge to revoke his supervised release.

Merlino's attorney Edwin Jacobs tells Fox 29 he will fight efforts to put Merlino back in jail. He hopes to schedule a hearing in federal court in the next 2-3 weeks. Merlino will travel to Philadelphia for that hearing.

"I hope to dispose of this matter quickly," Jacobs said

He has seen the high life!, I am sure that he maybe tried to do it straight and narrow but earning an honest, average buck just will never wet the appetite once you have seen the other side. How could it?......Look at what Sammy the Bull did!

The 2 people that appear to have transitioned are the 2 that I believe are lying to the public. I believe they hid money over the years and still have enough to live in comfort.

There are others.

Mikey Scars is apparently doing very well for himself. I've heard that he's making money hand over fist as a contractor. And I've read that Mickey Featherstone is just about the biggest success story in the history of Witness Protection. But for every two guys like that, there are a dozen Henry Hills and Sammy Gravanos.

You can change your life. But only if you really want to. And chances are, if you were a scumbag dope peddling deadbeat when you were in the mob, you're going to be the same scumbag when the Feds reinvent you.

But it still shocks me that people are surprised when these guys show their true colors. A piece of shit sporting a Brioni suit and a Presidential Rolex is still a piece of shit.

Merlino going back to prison. I have said that with him getting older, he should be getting smarter. I was wrong on that. Something tells me the feds wanted him in custody for another reason, could be the retrial coming up, with someone who has a lot at the bargaining table who could not just hurt Philly, but the New York Jersey factions as well.

Feds got nothing on him that can stick, it's just an publicity maneuver

So was the perp walk at the Ravenite in December 1990.

And I don't care one way or the other, but let's see how this plays out.
