A New York mobster and hitman who killed three people and attempted to take the lives of two others has escaped from custody, according to the Bureau of Prisons website.
Dominic Taddeo, 64, escaped from federal custody on March 28 after going to an approved medical appointment but failed to return. He had less than a year left on his sentence and was staying in a halfway house that works with inmates for scheduled release, the Democrat and Chronicle reported.
Taddeo was serving a 54-year sentence after pleading guilty in 1992 to racketeer influencing and corrupt organizations (RICO) crimes. He was most known for killing three people, attempted assassination of two others, and conspiracy to kill another. Prior to living in the halfway house, he was incarcerated in a medium-security prison in Coleman, Florida, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.
He has an extensive criminal history and allegedly worked with the La Cosa Nostra organized crime family in Rochester, New York. He had prior convictions for assault, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and conspiracy to commit RICO crimes, the newspaper reported.
Newsweek reached out to the Federal Bureau of Prisons for comment but did not hear back in time for publication.
