  • Gerard Chilli was born in 1935 in New York City, he joined the Bonanno crime family sometime in his early 20's. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Bonanno crime family until he was promoted to Capo in 1979 following the murder of Carmine Galante. He was identified as a bonanno capo in 1986 by the Federal Government. In the early 1980's, when Chilli was in prison he met a young man named Costabile Farace, who was in prison for killing two teenagers in 1979. Chilli served as a mentor to the young Farace and unofficially "adopted" him by taking Farace under his wing and treating him like a son. Chilli realized he had stepped on a "landmine" when taking Farace under his wing. Farace later caused a lot of trouble and annoyed powerful members of the Bonanno crime family such as Consigliere Anthony Spero for drug dealing. On January 15th 1984 Chilli's 30 year old son Joseph was murdered along with 38 year old Thomas Sbano the stepson of Benjamin Ruggiero. They were found shot inside a convertible in a parking garage on 299 Pearl Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. In 1993 Chilli was indicted in Florida on charges of loansharking, extortion, and illegal sports betting. he was released from Prison in June 2002. While in prison the FBI questioned him about his involvement in the murder of Bonanno crime family associate Costabile Farace in September 1989. Farace murdered DEA Agent Everett Hatcher in a botched drug deal and this brought heat on the Bonanno crime family. Consigliere Anthony Spero is alleged to have asked Chilli to arrange the murder of Farace, who was murdered in a drive by shooting by four Bonanno associates in a white van. The FBI couldn't find enough evidence linking Chilli to the murder, so no charges were brought against him.
