Another thing Gianelli got indicted and then convicted for was shaking down or trying to take over the Big Dog sports bar somewhere North of Boston (Lynnfield I think). He had a father and son henchmen (Dennis Albertelli and son)who took baseball bats to meetings with the owner. I think they also tried to torch that place and maybe others. I think he was also accused of cutting power to someone's house as part of another threat or shakedown.

His wife was John Connolly's sister if I recall correctly. They arrested her to for helping the bookmaking operation. He wasn't a made guy, which left him vulnerable to the Cheeseman and Lepore apparently.

I think he had his hands in a lot of different things. The end result was a 22 year sentence. They really hammered him.
