They’re getting the gang back together.

Notorious Gambino crime family hitman Joey Testa will be out on the streets in April after 35 years behind bars, the Federal Bureau of Prisons announced — just weeks after The Post reported on the release of Testa’s partner Anthony Senter, the other half of the murderous duo known as the Gemini Twins.

Both Testa, 69, and Senter, 68, were paroled after serving a fraction of the life-plus-20-year sentences they were handed in 1989 for participating in at least 11 murders, the feds confirmed.

“Joey’s had serious medical problems for years, and he has done well in prison,” Testa’s attorney Linda Sheffield told The Post.

“Those are things that play into setting a release date.”

They were part of the DeMeo crew. John Gotti was even scared of them and Roy DeMeo.

I always think of these guys as soldiers. Prison is their cooling off period, and I’ve never heard of one coming out from a long sentence and getting back into the killing business.

I knew someone in New York who killed her father. She got 12-25 years.

She was out in about 6.

Her father was 93. She would have gotten half of his estate. if she had waited him out...there is no way he would have lived to 100 (which is what he would have been on her release.)

“Revenge” and greed are bad motivators. Ha ha.

The FBI and police are searching and digging for bodies thought to be connected to an ongoing investigation into the Gambino crime family in Goshen, New York, multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the matter confirmed Wednesday afternoon.

The search — 65 miles northwest of midtown Manhattan — is linked to the arrests last week of 10 people accused of strong-arming their way into New York City garbage hauling and demolition businesses, two law enforcement officials said.

Testa and Senter should have gotten the death penalty. They were part of the most prolific murder crew of all time.

He could probably qualify for a good-paying position with one of the Deep State agencies.

Translation: Joey’s medical expenses are too expensive for the Bureau of Prisons, so we are releasing him so we don’t have to pay them.

I hear the Biden Crime Family is recruiting. The timing couldn’t be better for Joey Testa’s release. *SMIRK*

Hey, they were good boys from the neighborhood.
They always took care of their mother and respected their elders.

I need to call my brother(a former Fed at The Big House in PA) to see if he knew these boys.

On Sammy “The Bull” Gravano’s podcast he talked about Roy Demeo getting whacked, he said after Gotti didn’t take the contract, Paul Castellano gave the contract to Frank DeCicco, who Gravano offered to help.

Besides Demeo getting whacked, the entire Demeo crew was scheduled to get whacked, DeCicco arranged to have Testa and Senter whack Demeo in exchange for getting a pass and getting transferred to the Lucchese Family where they ended up becoming made men.

The dude that ran the guardian angels said he was targeted and shot several times by the Gambino family, and left for dead.
