The mob rat whose secret recordings devastated the Gambino crime family abandoned his pregnant wife without a word about his double life - or his future plans.

Trisha Vollaro, who's carrying twins, learned about her husband's FBI undercover work only after word of the sweeping indictment became public last week.

By then, he already had betrayed her.

"If you woke up one morning and this bomb was dropped on you, how would you feel?" Trisha Vollaro's sister asked Saturday.

Joseph Vollaro walked out on his wife without any luggage, conversation or compassion, his sister-in-law said. "He said, 'I'm leaving' - and he left," she said.

Trisha Vollaro remains unsure of her husband's whereabouts. He could be under federal witness protection; but if so, he opted to go without his wife and unborn children.

The Staten Island trucking company owner disappeared more than a week ago. Before taking off, he sold a cement business for $1.8 million, records show.

The couple lived in a large house, its front yard enclosed behind an ornate iron fence inscribed with the letter V. Joseph Vollaro loved singing and speedboating, and owned a 40-foot craft dubbed "Cat in the Act."

Last year, the Vollaros won the Best Dressed Crew award at a Florida speedboat competition. In a photo, they appear happy.

But Vollaro also had served 16 months in a New Jersey jail in the late 1990s and did 37 months in federal prison on extortion charges, meeting Gambino capo Nicholas Corozzo behind bars.

Vollaro began doing business with the Gambinos when he got out of prison, then flipped on them about three years ago after he got involved in a drug deal.

He will emerge someday to testify against acting boss John (Jackie Nose) D'Amico, consigliere Joseph (JoJo) Corozzo, Nicholas Corozzo and others.

He may also have to face his disgusted wife. His sister-in-law, who declined to give her name, said despite his misdeeds there was never any spillover into his domestic life.

"The truth is he was one of the best people I know," she said. "There wasn't one thing I could ask for that he wouldn't do for me."

She said her family was rallying around Trisha: "Good, bad or otherwise, we will stand together and be as strong as we can."

She insisted the couple had been happy and that her sister was unaware of her husband's secret life - a claim reinforced by a family friend.

"She doesn't know nothing about nothing," the man said before driving Trisha Vollaro off in a red Corvette. "You think wiseguys tell their wives anything?"

Shit, I was just going to pm that to you, DC.

Sliwa's an asshole. If he was the slightest bit likeable, Gotti would have been convicted. The problem was that there's not 12 men or women in New York who could sympathize with Sliwa. Like Staten Island doesn't have just as many cops, fireman and blue collar workers as the other boroughs.

Fuck him again.

The son of a reputed Genovese crime family gangster, and owner of a well-known Italian restaurant in Queens, has pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge.

Anthony Federici Jr., 25, copped to misdemeanor possession of cocaine before Magistrate Judge Robert Levy last week in Brooklyn Federal Court, according to court records.

Federici Jr., the son of reputed Mafia capo Anthony (Tough Tony) Federici, who owns the Parkside Restaurant on Corona Ave. in Corona, holds no position in organized crime himself, according to a law enforcement official.

Federici Jr., a former Boston University student and aspiring lawyer, was indicted by the feds last year along with 25 others charged in a major cocaine conspiracy and distribution ring.

Two sources familiar with the case said Federici became snared in the investigation through his friendship with two of the co-defendants.

"He was not part of a conspiracy, and he was never a seller or a buyer of cocaine," one source said.

"The plea speaks for itself," said Federici Jr.'s defense lawyer Gerald Shargel, declining to comment further.

Federici Jr. was stabbed and nearly died during a brawl in August 2000 in the parking lot of the now-shuttered Metropolis nightclub in College Point, Queens.

He testified in Queens Supreme Court against his assailant, Nicholas Gambino.

"Everything went in slow motion," Federici Jr. testified at the time.

"My intestines were exposed. I was holding them in my hand," he said.

Gambino claimed he was acting in self-defense and a jury found him not guilty of the attack.

But Gambino pleaded guilty to stabbing two others, James Mastronardi and Salvatore Loria, during the wild melee.

That's much better.

But this kind of a statemnet from a man who once admitted that when he was trying to promote his Guardian Angels, in order to attract favorable media attention for them, he had fabricated a series of criminal incidents "that clearly had not taken place"

Just like the cab incident that he claimed took place on Gotti's orders.

charred body believed to be that of Mafia boss Giovanni Bonanno was found in a cemetery, believed to belong to the Mafia's LoPiccolo clan.

Bonanno had been missing since January 2006 and was reportedly a victim of 'lupara bianca' a practice when the victim's body is deliberately hidden.

A 'pentito' or turncoat Mafia member Gaspare Pulizzi, colleague of Mafia boss Salvatore LoPiccolo, showed Italian police the site of a cemetery unearthed in the city of Villagrazia di Carini, 10 kilometres from the southern Italian city of Palermo.

The LoPiccolos were arrested in early November as they attended a meeting of the Cosa Nostra 'cupola' - or the governing body of the Sicilian mafia - in an isolated villa near Palermo, together with Pulizzi and other senior Mafia figures.

Salvatore Lo Piccolo is believed to be Bernardo Provenzano's replacement.

Bernardo Provenzano, the head of the Corleone Mafia clan, and the 'boss of bosses' of the entire Sicilian Mafia,was arrested in 2006 after over 40 years on the run

Cosa Nostra from Sicily and their New York cousins in organised crime were seriously hit by combined US-Italian police operations last week. But analysts and insiders questioned whether the media had themselves been the victims of an overhyped blitz.

In Rome, police officials and prosecutors from both sides of the Atlantic staged a well-rehearsed press conference close to Thursday evening deadlines. Comparisons were made with the two big transatlantic anti-Mafia operations of the 1980s, Pizza Connection and Iron Tower.

A simultaneous, but more low-tech, news conference was held in New York where state and federal indictments were levelled against 87 people, largely aimed at the Gambino mob. Charges included seven murders, of which three dated back more than 25 years, as well as racketeering, construction extortion and state gambling charges. "Unprecedented" was how John Pistole, deputy director of the FBI, and Benton J. Campbell, the prosecuting attorney, described the busts.

But Mafia experts said that given the decline of Cosa Nostra over the years both in Sicily and in New York, and the parallel rise of far more powerful organised criminal gangs from Russia, China and eastern Europe, the importance of the arrests was overplayed. One expert, who declined to be named, said Italian and US police were under pressure to justify their transatlantic co-operation programmes against Cosa Nostra.

"The imminence of an election in Italy always makes me suspicious," commented Vittorio Zucconi, who writes for Italy's La Repubblica newspaper. However, Francesco Grattieri, the senior police official who led the Rome press conference, strongly denied suggestions of hype.

Francesco Messineo, prosecutor for Sicily's regional capital, Palermo, said the "important" operation had broken an attempt by "exiled" Mafia leaders in the US to return to Italy to fill a power vacuum left by internal wars and police operations. But Mr Messineo also agreed that the operations of the 1980s were far more important.

Analysts said the Gambino prosecution in New York emphasises the continued reliance of the Italian Mafia in the US on its traditional crime networks: the construction industry, unions and illegal gambling.

However, other prominent crime organisations in the US have emerged in recent years to rival or even exceed the importance of Italian organised crime. The Latin Kings, the Bloods and the Crips, which started out as local street gangs on the west coast and the Midwest, have assumed an important role in national US drugs trafficking, according to the US Department of Justice. Meanwhile Russian mobsters are involved in arms trafficking and cyber-crime.

"The Russian mafia are the most feared group," said Paulo Alteri, a criminal justice professor at Jefferson Community College in New York. He said the very size of the prosecution was a sign of the weakening of the Italian Mafia in the US. "A hit like this would never have gone down 50 years ago."

Such was the publicity given in Rome to the arrests that the unrelated capture in Naples of suspected Camorra crime boss Vincenzo Licciardi went almost unnoticed. Mr Licciardi was on the top 30 wanted list and his arrest was more significant, a police insider said.

But there were signs in the New York indictment that the Italian Mafia was branching out into in new avenues of income. Among those charged was Anthony Delvescovo, director of tunnel operations and project manager for Schiavone Construction Company, who was accused of extorting money from one of the prosecution's key informants.

Last year Schiavone Construction was one of three contractors that jointly entered the only bid for a $1.15bn (€793m, £590m) project to build the No 7 Subway extension on Manhattan's west side for the Metropolitan Transit Authority.

Earlier in the year Schiavone had won a $337m contract to help build the tunnel for the 2nd Avenue Subway extension.

These successes came even as Schiavone Construction, as part of a joint venture, is involved in contracts worth $1.3bn to build tunnels for the New York Department of Environmental Protection and after a $261m project to build a Subway station for New York City transit in 2005.

"The department of investigations has advised us that there is no reason to terminate the contracts as things stand," said an environment department spokesman.

The company refused to comment.

While I do not discourage the pursuit and apprehension of the Italian mafia and their members, or any ethnic based crime group for that matter, it has troubled me somewhat that we hardly ever hear of any major arrests being made from the rising and powerful Russian mafia. It is basically common knowledge that they have made a name for themselves on the organized crime front here in the tri-state area and are involved in many many illegal activities. The Russian mob has become one of the most prowerful crime organizations over the last decade. Yet we rarely hear of any major progress being made by law enforcement on that front.



Don Cardi cool

I agree with you 100% Don Cardi,one of the main reasons i think we havent heard about many major arrests is that the russians are very low key they dont flash there wealth and flaunt there belongings in front of the fbi,also after reading a few articles on them for many years the fbi did realise that the russians were organised and so did not pursue them allowing them to flurish,much like when hoover did the same with the mob back in the day.Another thing is we dont hear to much about murders within the russian mob as with the italian mob bodys used to be left out in the street as an example to others the russians are known for making their bodys dissapear.

Actually Chopper, here in New York at least, they are really a flashy group who act very arrogantly and do not hide the fact that they are criminals. They are very loud wherever they go, and if they don't get their way or feel that they are not being treated as they want to be treated, they'll think nothing of making a scene. Not to mention that they are brutal cold blooded murderers who'll think nothing of killing your wife and children if you get in their way.

Yet they've basically been allowed to flourish here in New York, especially in Brooklyn, with basically no interference whatsoever from the higher up authorities.

The other ethnic criminal group that is gaining momentum, power and rising very quickly in the organized crime world are the Albanians. They're just as cold blooded as the Russians!

Ok,from what ive read it seems to be the oppisate way round in other countries in England and other parts of europe they keep a low profile,maybe because the u.s is the land of freedom they feel free to act flashy.

Thanks for updating me on the situation in NY it's quite difficult to find things out about the russian mob,reading materials arent as easy to come buy as the cosa nostra info.

Well Chopper, you're a great kid, but next time your family visits New York, ask a cab driver to take you to Coney Island Avenue. The way they flash and flaunt is actually embarrassing, because they do it with no style whatsoever. They're pigs. They love to show off what they have, yet they're some of the cheapest fucking people I've ever met.

In fairness to the Feds, they were making some inroads with the Russians prior to 9/11, then most of the agents got assigned to anti-terror.

Hey, no problem, how could you know?

DC is right about the Albanians, too. The thing that differentiates them from the Russians is that they're smart enough to try to pass themselves off as Italian. Truth is, they're some of the best pizza makers in New York at this point. Not that that has anything to do with organized crime.

They are a very ruthless bunch.

When i first read Chopper reads book a good few years ago,there was a chapter on the albanians and he also talked about how viscious they were and that supposedly the russian KGB used them as hit men obviously i dont know if that is true or not.


But it wouldnt be suprising would it?


Ive never had an albanian made pizza ill try one next time im in NY \:\)

When you come to NY, message me, I'll take you for pizza.

Can you imagine a Limey, looking for an Albanian, passing himself off as Italian?

It's a scary thought.
