10 MARCH 30, 2017 RIDGEWOOD TIMES WWW.QNS.COM POLICE BEAT Compiled by Robert Pozarycki HOWARD BEACH ‘WISEGUY’ AMONG 10 INDICTED Federal agents cuff ed an alleged mafi a captain from Howard Beach and nine of his associates on March 28 for engaging in racketeering, murder attempts, shootings, loansharking and other violent crimes over a nearly two-decade period. Ronald (aka Ronnie G) Giallanzo, 46, is a reputed acting captain in the Bonnano crime family who allegedly led a criminal enterprise that reaped more than $26 million in earnings since 1998, federal prosecutors said. According to Acting U.S. Attorney Bridget M. Rohde, Giallanzo and his partners earned their fortune through a massive loansharking scheme, racketeering, robbery, extortion and illegal gambling. They allegedly shook down borrowers for high interest and, when borrowers missed payments, responded with brutal acts of violence. The other defendants charged with Giallanzo were Queens residents Michael Padavona, 48, Michael Palmaccio, 45, Christopher Boothby, 37, Evan Greenberg, 45, Richard Heck, 45, Michael Hintze, 45, Robert Pisani, 44 and Robert Tanico, 49; and Nicholas Festa, 36, of Oceanside, NY. Boothby was arrested last week on a similar indictment that included a senior member of the Bonnano family and the grandson of the late John Gotti. According to prosecutors, Giallanzo allegedly lent more than $3 million in loans to customers, with the assistance of Festa, Palmaccio, Padavona, Hintze and Heck. This operation took place even while Giallanzo was incarcerated for a time on an unrelated matter, as he allegedly directed his associates to take violent actions against those who missed their weekly interest payments. Giallanzo and Padavona are additionally accused of plotting in the summer of 2006 to kill a man who robbed members of Giallanzo’s crew. Prosecutors said the dispute “lasted several months” and, on several occasions, Giallanzo’s associates exchanged gunshots with the intended target on the streets of Howard Beach. Giallanzo could face between 21 and 27 years in prison if convicted of the charges; the others could spend anywhere between four and 24 years behind bars if they’re found guilty.

William Harrigan, 33, was found guilty of second degree charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon after a three-week jury trial, according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown. Law enforcement sources said Harrigan shot and killed Rockaway Beach resident Boutin Williams 22, during a dispute outside the now-defunct Flirt gentlemen’s club, located at 94-02 80th St., near Atlantic Avenue, between 3 and 4 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 27, 2012. He shot Williams four times in the back and once in the upper right arm, then fled the scene. Officers from the 102nd Precinct responded to the shooting along with EMS units, who pronounced Williams dead at the location. Detectives apprehended Harrigan the next day and eventually charged him with murder. At trial, Brown said, Harrigan claimed that he suffered from PTSD. Harrigan faces up to 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced by Queens Supreme Court Justice Gregory L. Lasak on April 19.
