Questions About Philip Leonetti

I wondered: When was he made? What age?, He said he killed 7 people I think, who were they all? Has he left the witness protection, or ever returned to Philly? Anyone got any pics of him on the street with associates etc?

Thanks.

According to his biography on A&E a while back, he was proposed for membership by his uncle sometime around 1979 to then boss Angelo Bruno. Later that year he would kill Vincent Falcone. I don't think he actually got made until after Bruno's death in 1980.

He became a made guy under Philip Testa along with Salvie and others. He would have had no shot with Bruno in charge.

phil got made along with testa and others on June 8, 1980 i think

why did he actually become a rat?

Some pics

Cause he didnt want spend 50 years in prison.

yeh but what did he do that he had to spend 50 years in prison?

In the A&E special I'm pretty sure he talks about him and Falcone killing someone together too. Was Vincent Falcone also made?

Falcone was not made. Falcone was another concrete contractor in the AC area, that was badmouthing Scarfo.

claims it was for his kids.

I saw that recently on A&E. He had some interesting insights into the whole Scarfo thing. Drives me crazy that people like him flip for his family when it's pretty clear in the "making" ceremony that the other family comes first.

You can say that for everybody that is made know. No shot with Bruno in charge. But Leonetti does come off like a very bright guy in those interviews.

Murder in the aid of racketeering? That will get you a nice chunk of jail time.

Falcone was a seemingly legitimate guy who had complained about the quality of a cement job done by Scarfo's company. I consider this especially ruthless, even for Scarfo. The odd thing is apparently Leonetti said 'I wish he was alive so I could kill him again', which was Salvie Testa's exact line after killing Rocco Marinucci.

Scarfo said that not Leonetti.

Is it true though that Falcone participated in a hit(s) on behalf of the Philly mob? I swear Leonetti claims him an Falcone as well as Lawrence Merlino did a hit together on the A&E documentary. If this is true, why would you feel so sorry for Falcone getting hit himself? Not like he was a model citizen and he was not very bright if he was bad mouthing Scarfo in public.

In the first minute of this video Phil says, Ì emptied my gun into him, Lawrence ducks, and in the mean time Vincent Falcone comes out and empties his gun into him`, so unless he is talking about another Vincent Falcone, he too was a mafia hitman and not such an innocent victim.

No, your right.

What about the guys Leonetti whacked? Other than Falcone who were the rest?

Yah, can anyone shed some light on who Leonetti's other victims were?

Im not sure who else leonetti whacked i do know that one time he taunted and scared sonny riccobenes son so bad that the kid shot himself i guess that counts. also to answer to OP's question Phil leonetti was made on June 8 1980 along with Salvie Testa and Lawrence Merlino.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that it was Salvie Testa who drove the Riccobene kid to suicide. But whatever, they're all bad guys.

[/quote] You may be right. I think Phil was with testa when he did that maybe that was it

He is very articulate and he looks intelligent, I can't imagine he killed 10 people, he's not stupid and could work something else, not a hitman.

In interview he comes across as calm and collected but leonetti was a brutal killer. I mean he grew up under scarfo and was even used getting rid of bodies at a young age. He also once put a knife to his girlfriend's throat just for fun. Sp Leonetti might present himself now as just a regular guy but he was a violent mobster

By the way guys is that book about to come out? CLICK HERE

It's about Phil Leonetti

What documentaries you know with him (Leonetti), I watched the one on bio channel but it's exactly the same as War against the mafia, do you know other that can be found on youtube?

Yeah I have heard some people saying he actually wasn't too bothered about Testa getting murdered as he could further solidify his power in the family etc, don't know how much of that is true though...
