'Cheese Man' Ordered Released On $20K Bail

BOSTON (AP) ― Reputed New England Mafia underboss Carmen "The Cheese Man" DiNunzio has been ordered released on $20,000 cash bail until his trial on a Big Dig bribery charge.

Federal Magistrate Judge Judith Dein rejected the government's contention that DiNunzio is dangerous and should be jailed until trial.
 
Dein said while the case against DiNunzio appears strong, the crime DiNunzio is charged with doesn't involve violence or threats of violence.
 
DiNunzio and two other men are accused of attempting to bribe a state official to win a $6 million contract to provide loam to the Big Dig.

The official DiNunzio allegedly tried to bribe turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.

DiNunzio -- who has pleaded not guilty -- will likely go free after a hearing Wednesday in U.S. District Court.
