Philly Mobster Anthony Nicodemo Pleads Guilty in Shooting Death

Reputed Philadelphia mobster, Anthony Nicodemo, has plead guilty in the December 2012 shooting death of Gino DiPietro.

"Yes," he told Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart. "No," he said. "Guilty," he said three times.

Nicodemo, who authorities believed once “exercised leadership authority” over a multi-million dollar sports betting business that operated illegally from the Borgata Hotel poker room, could serve upwards of 50 years for his crimes.

DiPietro reportedly had been a confidential informant who helped put his younger cousin in prison by wearing a body wire.

"Anthony took the plea because he was facing a mandatory life sentence," said his attorney, Brian McMonagle, "and he now can come home someday to his family."
