According to court documents filed in New York on Friday, the March shooting death of prominent Gambino crime family boss Francesco 'Franky Boy' Cali was not a mob hit at all, as had previously been assumed.
Cali was allegedly shot by 24-year-old Anthony Comello in the Todt Hill section of Staten Island on March 13 this year, but Comello was not acting on the orders of one of the five major New York crime families. In fact, Comello seemed simply to be a man who lived with his parents and was obsessed with President Trump and a far-right conspiracy theory group called "QAnon," according to documents filed by Comello's lawyer.
Comello arrived at Cali's home in March with the simple intention to arrest the mafioso, as he reportedly believed he was ordered to do by Trump. When Cali resisted an attempted citizen's arrest, Comello allegedly shot him and left him to die in the street. He was arrested three days later at his parent's home on Staten Island.
Because of the high-profile nature of Cali's murder, police initially believed that the shooting could mean the start of a major war among the crime families, something they had not seen in decades. Despite evidence to the contrary upon Comello's arrest, police were initially skeptical that the accused could truly carry out such a crime with no ties to the mafia.
Comello's lawyer Robert C. Gottlieb stated, "He ardently believed that Francesco Cali, a boss in the Gambino crime family, was a prominent member of the deep state, and, accordingly, an appropriate target for a citizen’s arrest." Gottlieb further stated, "Mr. Comello’s support for ‘QAnon’ went beyond mere participation in a radical political organization. It evolved into a delusional obsession."

Not sure that this story passes the smell test. Wouldn’t be the first mafioso to feign mental illness.
This happened where I live.
Word is that it WAS a hit.
Some guys knew he was crazy and he didn’t need much to push him to do this.
Late last year, a Lucchese Crime family member has his father whacked and attempted to whack his brother.
Mafia ain’t what it used to be
Mob war? A few years back a Mob hitman said he killed JFK.
“...he was obsessed with a far-right conspiracy theory group called “QAnon”...”
-
I wonder what his FReeper name was...
Yeah, sounds like the defense strategy involves not guilty by far-right conspiracy indoctrination. Quite a stretch, and apparently this writer may have indeed swallowed their strategy, hook, line & sinker.
He’ll be impeached over this for sure.
We need an investigation into whether there was collusion between the hit man and Trump.
You’re right :)
This online news site knows more about what’s going on with the Staten Island mafia than its own residents with acquaintances :)
Most laughable article I’ve read in a while.
All the cool kids are doin it.
Sounds like they created this defense so the guy will get to spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital watching the birds outside instead of a state prison.
Because the real story was it was over a female relative of this man, I believe he was her uncle and did not want him near her for whatever reason. So they created this Trump conspiracy theory so they can get the guy look like he is crazy so he can spend the rest of his life in the crazy tank.
Maybe he is afraid that the mob has hitmen on the inside of state prisons... So he wouldn’t last to long anyways
lol
I very seriously doubt that he was a Trump fan. But, if he happened to be, good for him.
LBJ and J Edgar Hoover were friendly with the mob, but neither scumbag was a member of the mob.
Lol. Nowadays everybody claiMs they killed JFK.
Are liberals trying to curry favors from the mob again? This sounds like a KGB .
“the March shooting death of prominent Gambino crime family boss Francesco ‘Franky Boy’ Cali”
...and so what’s the problem here?

So Q is good for something.
Yeah, right! No way a basement dweller got close enough to a mob boss to kill him. This is BS.
