The 86-year-old man who was decapitated by a DOT truck in Brooklyn has been identified as Genovese mobster ‘Tony Cakes.’
“He spent his life looking over his shoulder but he forgot to look both ways before crossing the street,” a police source said. Anthony Conigliaro was the former acting captain for the Genovese crime family. Conigliaro was reportedly connected to the mafia. “Conigliaro worked as a loan shark for the Genovese, the feds said in a four-count indictment,” the New York Post reported. “He eventually copped a guilty plea to a racketeering conspiracy charge, for which he received a 13-month sentence, court records state.”
