Philadelphia mafia soldier Gaeton Lucibello has been released from prison after serving 30 days for a parole violation according to a report from veteran reporter Dave Schratwieser.
The one time Cosa Nostra captain was sent to prison back in 2012 on a racketeering conviction and released in 2015. He was put on supervised release with restrictions which were set to end in February of this year. But according to reports, he was caught by local Philly police meeting with fellow wiseguy Salvatore “Sonny” Mazzone the brother of Philly mafia leader Steven Mazzone. The brief meeting that reportedly took place in South Philly at a bocce ball game was a direct violation of his parole conditions. It ended up costing Lucibello 30 more days of freedom.
“Gaeton Lucibello”
Lucibello had been laying low for the past couple of years seemingly due to his strict parole conditions. It is unclear as to what role Lucibello will have within the organized crime family once he is free and clear but most expect him to return to the fold in some fashion. The mafia in Philadelphia continues to be in the headlines of late with alleged boss Joey Merlino on trial for racketeering. He like Lucibello could see his current situation improving as the Jury in his case has so far been unable to come to a verdict. When it comes to mafia news Philadelphia always seems to be in the mix.
Don’t think there is any doubt that lucibello will be back in business in some fashion as soon as his restrictions end, was a pretty dumb mistake to begin with being he was already so close to being off paper. If Joey beats the feds I would imagine the feds could turn up the eat a little more in Philly. We have already been seeing plenty of rumors of the new feds lineup there being hungry for some kind of case.
Gaeton is a stand up guy and took joey merlino side in war with john Stanfa…Stanfa hated Gaeton AKA The big guy so much he allegedly ordered him whacked and his tongue cut out..When Gaston was arrested during Stanfa trial , he had the balls to testify on his own behalf and did excellent job and was acquitted…Name from the past on trial with him Luigi Tripodi…who is shelved afterwards…Gaeton used to hang at nitas new stand with johnny Chang…Gaeton needs to earn and will be back in action shortly…Bouno Fortuna !!!
Yeah he is definitely gonna find himself back on the streets and in business sooner rather than later.
Off topic i wonder when the feds r gunna finally arrest some guys in philly on rico charges they been sayin they been buildin a case 4 a while but that was a while ago
If they were close this would have delayed any indictments. If found guilty on any charges it’s an extra predicate assuming they go after him with RICO.
Seems like they are still in the process of putting one together and if Joey walks it may become even more of a pet project for the feds esp the fed team in Philly who seem to wanna make some noise.
