Cheese Shop Owner Identified As Head Of Boston Mob

BOSTON (AP) ― Two Boston-area bookies have identified a North End cheese shop owner as the head of the Boston mob, according to court papers.

In the papers, a North End bookie says he paid Carmen DiNunzio for protection. A bookie in Medford says he used his connections to DiNunzio to escape paying gambling losses to another bookie.

The Medford bookie, Joseph Amato, identified DiNunzio as the head of the Boston faction of the mob.

DiNunzio is free on bail as he awaits trial on charges of extortion and gambling conspiracy. His attorney, Anthony Cardinale, has asked the court to throw out the case for lack of evidence. He says prosecutors wrongly told grand jurors that DiNunzio is the No. 2 Mafioso in New England.

Cardinale says there's no proof DiNunzio received any money from anyone.
