Anthony St. Laurent Sr., a ‘made’ member of the New England branch of the La Cosa Nostra, pleaded guilty to attempted murder-for-hire in federal court in Providence, R.I.
St. Laurent Sr. acknowledged in his plea agreement that he offered money to individuals, including some known to be violent criminals, to murder Robert ‘Bobby’ DeLuca, another ‘made’ member of the NELCN, in retaliation for DeLuca having publicly accused St. Laurent Sr. of being a government informant.
According to information presented in court, in 2006 and in 2007, St. Laurent Sr. phoned an individual in Massachusetts to set up a meeting in Rhode Island on April 12, 2006, at which he solicited the individual to kill DeLuca.
St. Laurent Sr. faces maximum penalties of 10 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release following his prison term.
Anthony St. Laurent Jr. was sentenced in December 2010 to 78 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, to include 500 hours of community service each year during the term of supervised release for his role in the extortion conspiracy.
Dorothy St. Laurent was sentenced in December 2010 to three years of probation, the first six months of which will be served in home confinement. She also was ordered to perform 500 hours of community service per year during the term of supervised release.
The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Sam Nazzaro of the Criminal Division’s Gang Unit, with the assistance of Assistant U.S. Attorney William J. Ferland for the District of Rhode Island.
