NEW YORK – A crooked FBI agent tipped off former head of the Bonanno organized crime family that he and other gangsters were about to be rounded up according to testimony heard at the mafia murder trial of Mobster Vincent Basciano.
Ex-Bonanno boss Joseph Massino — the highest-ranking New York City Mafia figure to ever violate the mob’s code of silence and testify for the government — told jurors that the tip allowed him to stay ahead of the law and go into hiding for more than two years.
