After two days of deliberations, jurors have found alleged Gambino Family mobster Anthony “Big Tony” Moscatiello guilty in the murder of South Florida businessman and Miami Subs restaurant franchise founder Gus Boulis.
Moscatiello was found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. He is facing the death penalty when sentenced on September 15.
Prosecutors claim that the Gambino Crime Family ordered Boulis killed over a dispute related to control over his SunCruz Casinos boat fleet.
"Anthony Moscatiello, 'Big Tony,' spoke for everybody in this case," Prosecutor Gregg Rossman said. "He gave the orders. He's the person who called back and told the job is done."
Boulis was murdered in January 2001 after three cars cornered him upon leaving his Fort Lauderdale office. Witnesses said the gunman, John "J.J." Gurino, was later killed in a dispute with a Boca Raton delicatessen owner. - Jagajeet Chiba, Gambling911.com
