Each week accompanying the segments of the FBI files on Raymond Patriarca and expert analysis on the documents released, GoLocal provides a “cheat sheet” of some of the key elements from the documents.

Make no mistake about it, the files are layered with information about a time where the scope and reach of the Patriarca crime family permeated nearly every aspect of life in New England.

 

PAGE 1 “I’ll Bury Him Up There”

In last week’s entry, it was disclosed that there was a fire at a facility that Patriarca owned. Patriarca demanded that “the kid” be brought to his office for the following morning. “RAYMOND states, ‘I’ll bury him up these,’ referring to the dump.”

On PAGE 2, “RAYMOND talks to UNMAN and accuses him of setting fire to his dump and causing $4,000 worth of damage. UNMAN denied this vehemently and said that he was ‘with REDACTED in Worcester.’ RAYMOND claimed that he was the only one with reason to burn the dump and threatened to ‘bury him in the dump.”

 

PAGE 6 Meeting with MA Politician

While visiting his sick wife in Boston, Patriraca is observed meeting in the Hospital parking lot with MA Governor’s Council member Patrick “Sonny” McDonough.  He is tied to Patriarca relative to the parole application and later would be tied to the Whitey Bulger case.

PAGE 7 International Laborers’ Union

A man who got “disqualified from the nomination of the Laborers and ask Patriarca for help and he agrees to. They discuss the union and know that the “ballot box was stuffed” in the election. On page 8 it is disclosed that 200 to 210 voted, but over 290 ballots were in the box.

 

PAGE 9 Split between Coia and DeFalco Factions in Control of the Union

“One member of the COIA faction said the split developed because “a few rotten apples are trying to force their war in, and the union’s split over it.”

 

PAGE 19 Patriarca and Kennedy

The FBI Paper’s unveil Patriarca’s frustration with the Kennedy Administration, “…RAYMOND made a statement, ‘If he thinks he’s going near the President or BOBBY KENNEDY to try and do something, you’re crazy because (blank) and of a year you’ll wind up with ten years work.’ He continued by saying, ‘Everybody that went to intercede for somebody with the KENNEDY’s not only wound up in trouble.’ RAYMOND said that if they got somebody in the office or got a connection without them knowing it, then that is a different story.”

 

PAGE 32 “He’s got in with the Jew on the radio deal”

According to documents, “This concerns the production of ‘jingles’ for radio and TV commercials. The individuals in New York REDACTED heard that the financial backer for this company was a large bookmaker and and racketeer in Boston…”

 

PAGE 46 Controlling the MA Lt. Governor McLaughlin

Due to enforcement and raids on gambling in Massachusetts, the Patriarca organization was concerned. According to FBI documents:

“JERRY [Angiulo] made a statement concerning, ‘Knock MC LAUGHLIN out of the box.’ He continued by saying, ‘We’re not in politics, but we’ve got to be; it is the only way to survive.’ McLaughlin could be the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts who was recently defeated as democratic nominee for Governor…”
