"Gangster Report sources reveal a confirmed meeting between Nicodemo and Merlino in the weeks leading up to the DiPietro murder and one between Nicodemo, Grande and Mazzone the night before the hit was carried out, receiving authorization and a final go-ahead, respectively."

This is such bull shit and purely speculation. Even so, this could never secure a conviction. LE purposely leak this sort of nonsense hoping to " rattle the cage" with the hopes of someone saying something in a wire tap.
Just like for the past 10 years there was going to be a big indictment in Philly. Of course there will eventually be a hundred indictments.
