Arson
Albert L. Giorgio of Revere, Massachusetts, was charged by federal prosecutors for helping his brother Steven set fire to the restaurant for the insurance money and Steven ultimately died. Albert was charged with arson resulting in death, arson conspiracy, mail fraud and use of fire to commit mail fraud for the March 2002 two-alarm fire.[1]
Stephen owed gambling debts to an alleged mob captain Carmen “Big Cheese’ DiNunzio and he would get the deed to Stephen’s nearby deli to repay the debts.[1]
