Mob Turncoat Details The 1997 Slaying Of NYPD Cop Ralph Dols


Mitchel Maddux at the New York Post is covering the trial of Colombo crime family members for crimes that include the murder of NYPD officer Ralph Dols (seen in the above photo).

A mob hit man today detailed the sickeningly intricate steps taken to rub out NYPD cop Ralph Dols, who'd innocently asked “what’s up” to his killers just seconds before they pumped him up with lead.

Mafia capo-turned-stool pigeon Dino “Big Dino” Calabro told jurors in Brooklyn federal court that Dols, who was killed because he was married to an ex-mob wife, never saw it coming on that deadly 1997 night in Brooklyn.

Calabro is testifying against his cousin Dino “Little Dino” Saracino and Thomas “Tommy Shots” Gioeli, who are being prosecuted for murder and racketeering.

Organized Crime's 'Judas' Hit Team

Mitchel Maddux at the New York Post offers an interesting piece about how the murder trial of reputed Colombo crime family boss Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli (seen in the above photo).

He made killing “traitors” his specialty — and his Mafia bosses rewarded him handsomely.

As two factions of the Colombo crime family battled for control in the 1990s, street boss Thomas Gioeli “developed a crew of professional killers” to ward off insurgents, “committing murder and getting away with it,” prosecutor Christina Posa told a Brooklyn federal jury yesterday.

Gioeli — known as “Tommy Shots” — took “the bosses’ side,” and “that meant eliminating traitors,” Posa said in her opening statement at the murder racketeering trial of Gioeli and one of his accused henchmen, Dino Saracino.

He'll Never Loin: Butcher and Bonanno Mob Member Kept Organized Crime Associates' Names, Nicknames And Titles In His Rolodex



Mitchel Maddux at the New York Post reports that a New York City butcher and member of the Bonanno crime family offered a bonanza to law enforcement.

A bumbling Bonanno bad guy bizarrely listed all of his contacts -- from capos to consiglieres -- in a Rolodex, The Post has learned.

Not-so-wiseguy Mike “The Butcher” Virtuoso recorded every one of the names, numbers, nicknames and even mob titles in a file so complete that the FBI agents who stumbled on it felt like they’d discovered a gold mine.

Putting all of that classified information into writing “was an incredibly stupid thing [for Virtuoso] to do,’’ a source told The Post.

The treasure trove was discovered in “The Butcher’s’’ butcher shop, Graham Avenue Meats & Deli, in Williamsburg.
