When he ran the vast shady side of Fulton, Mr. Romano inspired the kind of fear usually reserved for natural disasters and impending death. “I can’t answer your question because I’m not prepared to die,” one Fulton businessman told a federal prosecutor who asked him under oath if he knew Fulton union boss Carmine Romano in 1981. Yet another reluctant witness against Mr. Romano’s union, Anthony D’Andrilli, was shot five times -- in the chest, face, neck, hand and head -- outside Mr. Romano’s union office in April 1981 on the day after he accepted a subpoena from the government.

  • When he ran the vast shady side of Fulton, Mr. Romano inspired the kind of fear usually reserved for natural disasters and impending death. “I can’t answer your question because I’m not prepared to die,” one Fulton businessman told a federal prosecutor who asked him under oath if he knew Fulton union boss Carmine Romano in 1981. The man, who prosecutors did not identify during the federal trial, chose to go to jail for 90 days, and pay $66,000 for contempt of court rather than testify to even knowing Mr. Romano. “I mean no disrespect. I’m afraid of what will happen to my wife and children,” he said. Yet another reluctant witness against Mr. Romano’s union, Anthony D’Andrilli, was shot five times -- in the chest, face, neck, hand and head -- outside Mr. Romano’s union office in April 1981 on the day after he accepted a subpoena from the government. Incredibly, the man survived. Manhattan U.S. attorney Daniel Bookin, who prosecuted Mr. Romano in 1981, described Mafia infiltration of Fulton to New York city newspapers with one simple word “total.”
