thats alite bullshitting they were getting the coke from colambiens the feds busted the whole operation. The turras had several plots to kill merlino the indictment against the turras shows it all no mention of any Albanian gangster with ties to junior gotti and you have to remember when the turras were trying to kill joey one of there top guys cant remember the guys name was wearing a wire the feds would have found out at the time if there was any truth to it. I highly doubt he was offered the contract by these guys. The feds had loads of tapes of anthony turra and louie talking about it

Anthony turra on tape said they should throw grenades into joey merlinos house when one associate said that joey family his then pregnant wife could be killed turra responded saying that she deserved to die aswell because she was with him. When Joey found out he went nuts he had anthony turra killed
