Could another Colombo Family Persico be targeted by the Fed’s

The rats are mounting and it looks as if more reputed Colombo Crime Family hierarchy are again under the microscope. With recently turned Colombo Family member Frank Sparaco giving the Fed’s new inside information its now a matter of time before they come calling. Seems as if Frankie Blue Eye’s is singing to the Fed’s about a Colombo Family hit that took place in 1992.

Its reported that the Fed’s may be targeting Michael Persico the son of Colombo Family boss Carmine Persico also known as “Junior Persico”. As of now Michael has not been charged with any mafia crimes even though he has been long thought by the Fed’s to be a part of his fathers crime family. With information put forward by Sparaco the Fed’s hope to be able to finally get some charges to stick on Michael and end what they call his “charmed” life.

The hit in question took place on Jan 24, 1992 on a staten island nightclub owner named Michael Devine. Devine was then involved with Teresa Persico who was the then wife of mob prince Alphonse Persico known as “Allie Boy”.Allie Boy is also the son of imprisoned Colombo boss Carmine Persico. Prosecutors have long had recorded conversations in which Allie Boy Persico had angrily discussed his wife’s affair with Devine and he vowed to take some sort of action. But despite these tapes and threats prosecutors could never make a case and charge anyone with the murder.

But now with Sparaco ratting it looks as if there may be a chance to finally have the gangland hit cleared up. It is being reported that now with the cooperation of Sparaco the Fed’s will be able to file its first ever charges against Michael Persico. Sparaco’s testimony along with taped phone calls from Allie Boy to Michael from his jail cell could link Michael to carrying out the hit ordered by Allie Boy in response to the affair. A day before the Devine murder Allie Boy Persico was taped telling his brother that  John Dileo a Colombo Family associate ” has the color of his vehicle”. Then a follow up call made less then an hour later to an unknown conspirator told Allie Boy that “Sparaco and Dileo were at Michael Persico’s home waiting for him to return”. Its thought that Sparaco can link these calls to the murder plot of Devine.

Devine was found slumped over the steering wheel of his car in the early morning hours with the car still running. Devine was shot with a .22 caliber handgun. Devine was found to have 2 gunshot wounds to his groin which is thought to be a sign that Devine was killed because he was being improperly intimate with a member of the mafia or La Cosa Nostra. It’s now a wait and see as to if the Fed’s do in fact have a case and come after “The Last Persico” .
