Last month, Bonanno capo John Palazzolo was charged with meeting with mobsters involved in an ugly dispute with a rival faction that seemed headed for violence. Another alleged problem was that several of the wiseguys at the conclave were on Palazzolo's Do Not Associate list of men he'd been ordered to steer clear of when he got out of prison. Palazzolo is slated to plead guilty today to violating that ban, but he's actually catching a break since that's the least serious of several post-prison restrictions the 77-year-old mobster was charged with violating.

Sources say federal prosecutors and Probation Department officials agreed to permit Palazzolo to plead guilty to what is viewed as a "technical violation" of his supervised release conditions because they have no evidence to back up the more serious charges that were lodged based on allegations provided by the NYPD's Organized Crime Investigation Division.

According to court records, OCID detectives reported that Palazzolo "had recently been elevated to Acting Street Boss of the Bonanno family" by the imprisoned official boss, Michael (Mikey Nose) Mancuso. The promotion was allegedly a Mancuso bid to thwart a push by a rival faction headed by capo Joseph Cammarano Jr. to take over the crime family. Cammarano is the son of the late underboss, Joseph (Joe Saunders) Cammarano, who died in prison at age 77 two years ago.

OCID also told the feds that Mancuso was using a "nephew" named Frank (Frankie Boy) Salerno, a recent inductee into the crime family, to deliver messages to Palazzolo regarding the feud with Cammarano Jr. The feds confirmed that Salerno did in fact meet with Palazzolo and other wiseguys in Queens hours after he met with Mancuso at the federal prison in Danbury on March 23, but sources say they were unable to back up the charge involving potential violence.

The charge of associating with reputed organized crime figures calls for a recommended return to prison of eight to 14 months. But sources say that prosecutors Nicole Argentiere and Alicyn Cooley have agreed with a request by defense attorney Flora Edwards to seek a prison term below the maximum called for by the sentencing guidelines.

According to court papers, Palazzolo "associated" with three mobsters on his proscribed list: former consigliere Anthony (Fat Anthony) Rabito and wiseguys John (Johnny Mulberry) Sciremammano and Pasquale (Patty Boy) Maiorino.

Edwards filed a notice stating that her client, who has been behind bars since his March 27 arrest, has agreed to plead guilty to the charge. But neither she nor prosecutors wanted to talk about it. None responded to Gang Land requests for details about the plea deal.




also in a earlier article capeci said there was more guys at that meeting i did not know where there also alot of guys got there button this is not the full article not breaking any rules

n their court papers, the prosecutors asked Brooklyn Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis to detain Palazzolo as a danger to the community for violating his post prison restrictions against meeting with mobsters. Prosecutors also cited the aging mobster for "agreeing to assume a leadership position in a violent criminal enterprise."

Also attending the restaurant session, prosecutors wrote, were John (Johnny Mulberry) Sciremammano, 68; Pasquale (Patty Boy) Maiorino, 65; Enzo (The Baker) Stagno, 41; and Robert Caroleo, 71. Except for Caroleo, all have criminal records. But only two attendees, Sciremammano and Maiorino, were on the long list of organized crime figures that the Probation Department, which gets its info from the FBI, ordered Palazzolo to avoid.

OCID, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's office declined to discuss the apparent discrepancy between the respective mob rosters of "made men" cited by OCID and the FBI. Traditionally, the FBI has had more stringent rules about identifying a known associate as a member of an organized crime family.

Gang Land, which has its own high standards on the touchy subject of mob membership, hears from various sources that the Bonannos have made many new members in recent months. Allegedly, as many as 12 new members have been inducted. Sources say Frankie Boy Salerno may be one of them, if only to legitimize Mancuso's use of his nephew as a go-between with other members of the crime family.

In addition to meeting the two mobsters on the "do not associate with" list, on March 23, prosecutors wrote that Palazzolo should be detained for having conducted a lengthy meeting the day before with onetime family consigliere Anthony (Fat Anthony) Rabito in the parking lot of the Nevada Diner in Elmhurst.

In recent court sessions Palazzolo attorney Flora Edwards argued that her client "was about two and a half weeks out of surgery." Citing his poor health, the lawyer argued for home confinement rather than detention in the Metropolitan Detention Center. In a court hearing this week, Garaufis declined to remand Palazzolo, but agreed to revisit the issue later this month after Edwards submits evidence that detention at the MDC would be dangerous to her client's health.

But Garaufis has indicated that might be a hard argument to for her to win.

"I am sympathetic, but the fact of the matter is we wouldn't be here except for his alleged conduct," the judge said at a hearing last month. "He goes to lunch for hours on end and meets these people in diner parking lots. So, you can argue that he's sick, but you can also argue that, notwithstanding his medical problems, he's fit enough to engage in social contacts or other contacts with those with whom he has a relationship."
