SKINNY JOEY WAS GUNNING FOR TOP SPOT IN PHILLY MAFIA AS FAR BACK AS ‘87, PER FBI RECORDS

A batch of newly-acquired FBI documents, including a series of informant “302” reports shows Merlino tried taking over the mob in Philly as far back as the late spring of 1987, directly on the heels of the arrest and imprisonment of bloodthirsty mafia don Nicodemo (Little Nicky) Scarfo in March of that year.
