Former mob boss Billy D’Elia has made shocking revelations in the newly released documentary, “Riddle, The Search for James R. Hoffa,” which is now available for streaming on Fox Nation. The documentary explores the extensive efforts made by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to dig up New York farmland in search of buried bodies and contraband linked to the mob.
Sources have reported that the FBI and NYPD utilized diggers and hand tools to tear up farmland in two locations in Orange County, New York, specifically in the suburbs of Goshen and Campbell Hall along Route 17. The search operation is believed to be connected to a criminal investigation into the activities of the infamous Gambino crime family, as disclosed by law enforcement sources.
The investigation was initiated based on a tip provided by an informant, who alerted law enforcement about the possibility of buried bodies at these two locations. Despite the extensive search, no remains were discovered on Wednesday. However, law enforcement and FBI agents returned to the scene on Thursday to continue their efforts.
Interestingly, the farmland in upstate New York was previously owned by Giovanni DiLorenzo, who shares the same surname as one of the ten alleged members of the Gambino crime family. These individuals were recently indicted for their alleged involvement in violent activities related to the control of garbage hauling and demolition in New York City.
The federal indictment, consisting of 16 counts, names the defendants as Joseph “Joe Brooklyn” Lanni, Diego “Danny” Tantillo, Robert Brooke, Salvatore DiLorenzo, Angelo “Fifi” Gradilone, Kyle “Twin” Johnson, James LaForte, Vincent “Vinny Slick” Minsquero, Vito “Vi” Rappa, and Franceso “Uncle Ciccio” Vicari. The charges against them include racketeering conspiracy, extortion, witness retaliation, fraud, and embezzlement. Each suspect, if convicted, could face a sentence ranging from 20 to 180 years in prison.
The focus of the indictment revolves around the group’s alleged attempts to extort money from unidentified garbage hauling and demolition companies, starting in late 2017. The FBI and various law enforcement agencies have been tirelessly searching for bodies and contraband connected to the Gambino crime family, not only in Goshen but also in another farm in Orange County, New York.
This revelation has shed light on the deep-rooted criminal activities of organized crime families in New York and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to bring them to justice. The documentary “Riddle, The Search for James R. Hoffa” provides a unique perspective into this dark world, offering viewers an insight into the intricacies of these criminal operations.
It remains to be seen how this investigation will unfold and whether further evidence will be unearthed. The extensive nature of the search and the potential implications for the Gambino crime family make this a significant development in the fight against organized crime in the United States.
