Reputed top mobster Rudy Fratto has been charged with failing to pay more than $30,000 in taxes on nearly $200,000 in income from 2005, according to federal court documents filed this week.
Fratto is accused of directing businesses and others to send payments to a defunct business of his, J.J.F. Inc., in order to avoid paying taxes.
Fratto's name came up most recently in federal court as one of the top mobsters who posed the most direct threat to the safety of Nicholas Calabrese, the star witness in the Family Secrets mob case.
Fratto's name also popped up during testimony in the sentencing hearing of former Chicago chief of detectives William Hanhardt, who was accused of meeting with Fratto while trying to set up a hit. The murder never happened.
Fratto was never charged with any wrongdoing in that matter, and a federal judge did not take the most serious aspect of the prosecutor's allegations into account when he sentenced Hanhardt.
HEY STEVE , HERE A REAL LICE RUDY AS ONE WAY AS THEY COME....!!! DONT KNOW WHO HE BLEW TO GET HIS STRIPES
Rudy Fratto was also implicated by Mario Rainone in the conspiracy to murder Anthony "Jeep" Daddino way back in 1989. This murder conspiracy charge was part of the 1993 mob trial of Sam Carlisi, Jimmy Marcello, and others, but Fratto was not charged in that case, either, after Mario Rainone stopped cooperating when his mother's porch was bombed.
I believe Nick Calabrese admitted at the Family Secrets trial that he was involved in that bombing and that it was done on Jimmy Marcello's orders, but don't quote me on that because I might not be remembering it right.
Of course, both Carlisi and Marcello were convicted in that case.
This guy has been real lucky to have been implicated in two murder conspiracies but never charged.
Jenkins, Rudy Fratto comes from mob royalty -- his father (the original Rudy Fratto, this Rudy Fratto is actually a Jr.), his uncles, their cousins, the extended Fratto family. Late mob boss Philly Alderisio was a cousin of the Fratto brothers, too. One big happy family of Outfit guys. It's the family business. So I'm sure Rudy Fratto inherited his "stripes."
RUDY FRATTO IS A SCUM BAG!!!!
