Crime family godfather Tony Carlone said yesterday that he has "no idea" whether mob members who knocked off a key government informant will be identified.
"I don't know if we're going to find out that person," Carlone said between puffs of a cigar. "This is a large family. With a lot of friends. You see? I don't have any idea."
Carlone said he is eager to discover the identity of those who stuffed CIA operative Mike Pontz into the trunk of an '87 Chevy and shoved the car into the Potomac river last July. Carlone said that "everything we know, our friends the cops will find out," but told reporters: "I have no idea whether we'll find out who the person is -- partially because, not to toot our own horn or nothing, we do a good job of protecting our family."
Carlone mob members faced a deadline of 5 p.m. yesterday to present to D.C.'s District Attorney any documents that could be related to the D.A.'s criminal investigation. A Carlone spokesman said family lawyers will sort through the documents to determine which ones to hand over to the D.A. The Carlone family must turn over all information by Oct. 17, with intermediate deadlines before then.
At a press conference, family spokesman Sniffles Nantello repeated his categorical denial that three prominent Carlone family members -- Carlone's senior adviser Charlie "Magic" Rovello, older brother Richie Carlone's bodyguard Louie "Lucky" Libbotini and public safety official Eddie "Legs" Soprano -- had committed the crime or had knowledge of the crime.
"I wish we could help you guys out," said Nantello. "But we just don't have a good way of getting information from people."
