Anthony Santorelli is a suspected Caporegime in the Lucchese crime family operating in Westchester and Bronx.[1] Santorelli is a member of the Lucchese Bronx Faction[2]
In the 1990s, Santorelli led the Lucchese recruitment gang, The Tanglewood Boys[3][4][5] in Yonkers, New York, named after the Tanglewood Shopping Center, where members of the gang frequently operated. They began to rise in public eye in the 1990s as a "farm team" or recruitment gang for the Mafia, specifically the Lucchese crime family.[6] Several members went on to other crime families as well, and they were usually the sons of made members.
In 1994, Santorelli was observed by an FBI agent, dumping something into a garbage can, which turned out to be clothes covered in blood.[5] A DNA check on the blood led to members of the gang being arrested for murdering college student Louis Balancio at a Yonkers sports bar.[5][7] After the arrests, one member, Darin Mazzarella, became an informant, leading to the convictions of other members of the gang.[3][4]
