One of the alleged mobsters charged with racketeering and related charges was granted bail May 31, but that was turned over on appeal the following day.
The Marconi man, Martin Angelina, 48, of the 1800 block of Johnston Street, posted his $300,000 bond with two East Passyunk dwellings and a Marconi property, but a judge revoked bail at a hearing the next day, according to court records.
Angelina was charged with RICO conspiracy, conspiracy to collect extensions of credit by extortionate means, collection and attempted collection of extensions of credit by extortionate means, illegal electronic gambling device business, racketeering forfeiture, extortionate credit transactions and illegal gambling business for which he could serve 70 to 87 months. He previously served six-and-a-half years in jail plus three years supervised release for similar charges for a case that included Joey Merlino.
“Angelina has committed these offenses while on supervised release for a prior federal racketeering conviction, the conditions of which supervised release he has already been found to have violated. He has proven to be unamenable to supervision by the courts while on release,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office argued according to its motion for pretrial detention for Angelina.
