Martin Taccetta a member of the Lucchese crime family and a leader of the mafia families New Jersey based crew wants to withdraw his guilty plea to racketeering charges. Feds claim Taccetta served as second in command under his brother Michael in the New Jersey based Lucchese family crew. The 64 year old mobster was charged along with 32 suspects back in 2007 in connection with a money laundering and illegal sports betting scheme. According to authorities the operation had netted approx $2.2 billion dollars during a 15 month period relying on violence to insure collection of debts.
“Martin Taccetta“
This recent legal trouble is nothing new to Taccetta who has spent half his life either behind bars or being prosecuted. He is currently serving a 30 year to life sentence from a conviction in an unrelated racketeering charge. He was indicted in Ocean County back in 1991 on multiple charges including racketeering and 1984 murder of a mafia associate. He was cleared of the murder charge but was still convicted on racketeering charges in 1994 and sentenced to life plus 10 years being eligible for parole after 30 years. The jury specifically found him to be a member of the New York mafia and the Lucchese family.
He served 10 years of his sentence before being granted an appeal by state Supreme Court and was released in 2005 only to return to prison in 2009 to resume his sentence after his conviction was upheld. The aging mobster wants his sentence lowered from agreed upon eight years down to five as he is now petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his appeal on the Ocean City case. If his appeal were to be granted he could potentially be released again from prison and doesn’t want to be caught behind bars by this latest case.
His lawyers noted that their client feels as though he is being used as a tool by the feds as five other plea deals they made with fellow defendants were contingent upon him pleading guilty. He is also worried that if he follows through with this sentence his June plea allocution could be used against him by the feds for a new tax evasion case. He was set to be sentenced during the hearing on Thursday when he requested his instead his plea be withdrawn.
The judge reviewed the plea forms and transcripts of Taccetta’s June plea and noted he was aware of the charges he was pleading too along with the agreed upon penalty. The judge noted that along with the defendants criminal history would not justify him to lower the state’s either year plea offer to five and he has no control over the actions taken by federal government who also stuck to their original eight year offer. The judge did give lawyers for Taccetta to Sept. 30 to file a motion for their client to officially withdraw his plea and continue negotiations.
I don’t see any chance that the US Supreme Court over turns his conviction even if he is granted a new appeal. His wrap sheet and mob history he doesn’t stand much of a chance if the state supreme court didn’t over turn it then neither will the federal.
I agree, he’s doing the time.
I will say this guy better not hurt the others by doing this otherwise guys like Madonna are going to go nuts and his brother will suffer though I am hearing the brother might not get the top spot but saying that he has historic ties with the bronx and he Is close with the pernas i think he is a cousin and new York loves the pernas and all the power is in bronx with joey dinapoli and hooks and don’t forget steve is Bronx through and through and new York always make the decisions. Brooklyn guys are weak and will be kept there bad blood with the bronx guys
Agreed he def needs to watch his step as to who else is affected by his decisions here. His brother is due back out on the streets before long although i am also not sure what kind of role if any he steps into.
Madonna is old as hell, he’s not see the outside again ever
He is a stand up guy ,, and the Jersey guys kiss his ass
Ok. But he’s still dying in prison
Ok but the the jersey Luchesses are still not respected like the NY guys ,, so whats the point with saying he will die in prison? They all will,, go back to bed hick
Because this case won’t impact Madonna. He’s dying in prison, so what else can they do to him was the point. Internet tough guys are hilarious
Internet mov groupies are not hilarious they are sad,, u would probably blo a wiseguy just to get his cigar butt for ur scrapbook,, jog on skippy
What’s more pathetic? Internet mob groupies or people who troll said groupies? Why are you here if it’s beneath you?

How u grew up around mobsters and shit, but nobody gives a fuck, people come on here just to shoot the shit and u got get on here and be a f*****g prick man. And my experience is people like u are angry lil people, so I just figured your gay. So anyway I like bellomos posts and everyone else’s except yours. Because u r a f*****g prick, and I would bet my botom dollar that u ain’t shit on the street, that’s why u take your anger out on forums. So anyway, be cool bro, drink a beer and gobtry to get laid.

Ok skippy… Get that anger in check very hostile
Ok Bellomo ,, ????
Seems like I really got under ur skin Bellomo ,, ????
Had a lot of enemies for sure and your right its pretty much just speculation as to Madonna’s role if any in it. But its been floated around quite a bit that he may have had a hand in things.
True but recently two lucheses were arrested in conspiracy of his murder. Also mikey nose has been linked.
Your right though he did have a number of enemies he was hated
Agreed its unlikely to effect him as per him getting out but he still has some sway and depending on who else this touches it could get a little more in depth inside the family. I don’t think he causes enough problems to really be a major issue but its definitely another thing they don’t need problems with.
True. Any problems are not good. Things have been smooth, why rock the boat over a few years.
Steve will put mike perna I think head of north Jersey ralphie and those guys are suffering legal problems left right and centre
Mike is out after all those years and the guys in the bronx like the pernas why change a working regime
I don’t know much about jersey crew, by I’m sure you are right.
I’m curious to know what zappola is up to.
Ur curious? About what? How his bowel movements are ? What he had for dinner? His plans for next week ?
Yes! Any news on how he’s defecating these days?
Hey skippy,, well we have clearly determined ur not a man of ur word- u know the not responding statement,,, u have established ur are no attorney but very quick with google ,, and last but not least a definite homoerotic obsession with Italians
I heard he was shelved a lot of the guys from the 90s were the Brooklyn guys who were loyal to casso. Steve hates the Brooklyn guys.
That Brooklyn faction is definitely not a favorite of his no doubt about it and i think for all intensive purposes you could say the Bronx faction has won out.
The Bronx had historically been the power and the Brooklyn guys casso and amsuo should never have been allowed to the run family a lot of murders that time was a sort of unoffical war. I mean they whacked mike who had been a power there for years because they feared him the bronx Brooklyn rivalry really fired up then I know Steve crea in the early 90s was on the verge of striking back at barreta and George. Now when casso got arrested those Brooklyn guys began to realize that the Bronx was beginning to rebuild and they did not like that
Steve hates the guys from that era shelved them all and the younger ones and the guys in Brooklyn now he is careful how much trust he has in them. Just look at his top guys hooks joey gee all bronx neil was bronx before he retired
Makes sense. I just hope his violent streak is over.
I would be surprised if the violent streak kept going in this day of age lucheses are veyr organized but who knows in the mafia its unpredictable
Easier to shelve than kill these days guys think with their head though Steve prob still wishes he could whack this guy but knows business its better not to the Brooklyn guys who tried to kill him all broke dead or in the can and the Bronx guys are doing really well maybe the Bronx did win 😉
Corallo made Crea correct?
No,, not correct
Yes
Dam you’d wanna make good money if your spending this much time in court with a lawyer
Not to mention facing that kind of time behind bars !
Farmers,, smh
Farmers are jersey family, decalvecante. Lucheses are not
The brooklyn guys have no respect for those jersey guys ,, they are double A ball,, and thanks for the tip ,, I watched the Sopranos too ,, smh ,, I like this site or pretty much any site that doesnt have that bonehead “Ed Scarpo”
Ever heard of Louis manna? He was almost next boss of the family. I guess he was a farmer too.
Next boss of the family? Lmfao

Too many tough Tony’s to even get in on this convo. Marty’s fighting for his life. Any of you ever been inside New Jersey state prison aka trenton state prison? It’s a dungeon filled with new jerseys worst. 20 years or better you gotta have to end up there with most having life. The Feds are heaven compared to that place. I was in the infirmary there after I had surgery and my cell was right in front of the door. Every day/night I would see guys come in bloody, poked up, etc. it’s controlled by the bloods. You can’t knock Marty for what he’s doing. But don’t get carried away with all these scenarios. Ever think this is another ploy to put off sentencing for the perna’s maybe to get mike back in the swing of things before Ralph joe and John go in? I don’t know. But knowing the pernas and the taccettas Marty woukdnt fuck up things for them. They’re related. Let this play out.
Great to see you check in Bobby. Hope all is well on your end.
Same to you brother. Been in Florida for awhile. Just got back and have my ear to the street. People are laying low but it’s football season so I’ll be seeing the old crowd
bobby check your pm on the other site
like john said good to hear from you hope everything is good
