Lawrence Ricci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawrence Ricci (June 17, 1945, – November 30, 2005) was a reputed Genovese crime family capo out of Brooklyn. The 60-year-old Ricci had been acquitted of steering a dockworkers union contract to a mob-connected pharmaceutical company. Lawrence's body was found inside a trunk of a car at the Huck Finn Diner in Union, New Jersey. He had been missing since October 7, 2005. It is suggested he was killed after ignoring a Mafia "request" to cop a plea in the waterfront trial. Additionally, a law enforcement official was also quoted as saying the slaying was the result of an unrelated power struggle in Ricci's mob crew.
