Former Miami-based Trafficante soldier John Mamone, who was arrested as part of the Steve Raffa crew bust in October 2000, and testified against members of a drug ring in another case, was indicted last week, along with his two sons, on charges of health care and wire fraud. It was a Medicare fraud scheme in Palm Beach and Broward County that took place from 2019-2020.

I lost track of Mamone after he was released from prison, and assumed he up and left South Florida. I was tipped off to this by a reporter from the Palm Beach Post who called me last week about it. Mamone was released on bond. No mention in the court proceedings or indictment of his organized crime past.
