Anthony "Tony Boy" Boiardo was the son of Ruggerio "Richie the Boot" Boiardo, a notorious Mafioso from the Prohibition era. Tony Boiardo was a key player in the political downfall of Newark Mayor Hugh Addonizio. My e-book discusses the crimes of the Boiardos, from fencing stolen merchandise to numbers rackets, to beating rivals with lead pipes. Boiardo was sick for eight years before his death. This helped him avoid trial for the crimes he was linked to with Mayor Addonizio.
