PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Earlier this year reputed mafia capo regime Anthony “The Saint” St. Laurent was federally charged for masterminding a murder-for-hire plot on a rival mobster. The assassination attempt was thwarted by the FBI.

In court documents obtained by Target 12, transcripts of a wiretapped conversation show St. Laurent claimed he had the permission of “Louie” to pull off the hit. Investigators say “Louie” refers to New England mob boss Luigi “Baby Shacks” Manocchio.

In this WPRI web extra, Manocchio’s attorney Raymond Mansolillo responds to the allegation.
