Massino testifying against Vinny TV next month

This mob boss just won’t shut his trap.

Having made Mafia history last year by testifying against his hand-picked successor — the first time a mob boss took the stand for the feds — former Bonanno crime family boss Joseph “Big Joey” Massino will take the witness stand again next month to rat out the family’s alleged acting street boss.

Massino — once dubbed as “The Last Don” for his former omerta-adhering ways — is set to testify at the upcoming racketeering trial of Vincent “Vinny TV” Badalamenti, Brooklyn federal prosecutors told a judge yesterday.

Badalamenti faces charges that sent three tough wiseguys to shake down Hector Pagan, the ex-husband of “Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano.

Just last year, Massino’s testimony helped convict Vincent “Vinny Gorgeous” Basciano.

Massino’s forthcoming testimony is expected to help federal prosecutors establish that Badalamenti is a longstanding “made-member” of the Bonanno crime family.

We don´t know much about Badalamenti so this should be very interesting to follow. Hopefully there will be enough media coverage to expose all juicy details.
BTW, there was a Antonio Badalamenti listed as a Bonanno member already in the 1960s. He moved to Arizona after the Bananas war and retired from the mob. He passed away in 1990. This Badalamenti could have been an uncle of Vinny "TV".

Interesting. Hopefully we're able to see the tapes on Youtube or somewhere. Because I don't think they usually upload such things on Youtube...

no no chance in seeing that.

And why not? Is that thing so special?

Is Vincent Badalamenti a relative of Gaetano Badalamenti (the former chairman of the Cupola in Sicily)?

I only know of Vito Badalamenti, the son of Gaetano. He was actually acquitted at the Pizza Connection Trial and is currently on Italy's most wanted list.
