On Friday, The Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that Jack Abramoff’s business partner Adam Kidan told detectives that he’d only been told about Gus Boulis’ murder after it had happened.
But Kidan’s tale goes on. Now we hear that the trio of mob-tied hired hands had other, bigger ideas:
Just weeks after the murder of SunCruz Casino founder Konstantinos “Gus” Boulis, a suspect in the slaying suggested using a dump truck to kill the company’s former chief financial officer, a Boulis business rival told authorities.
Anthony “Little Tony” Ferrari believed longtime Boulis associate, Joan Wagner, needed to be killed, removing her from the fight over control of the Dania Beach-based gambling ship fleet, Adam Kidan said in a taped May 1 statement to police. Kidan and Boulis had been warring over the company at the time of Boulis’ Feb. 6, 2001, killing and Boulis’ business associates had continued the fight.
Ferrari said Wagner’s death could be arranged to look like an accident, using a stolen truck to slam into her car, Kidan said.
“I said, `You already killed one person, how are you going to kill someone else and get away with it?'” Kidan said during his 21/2-hour statement to Fort Lauderdale police and the lead prosecutor in the case…..
Kidan said Moscatiello and Ferrari met with him separately after the murder and confessed. He said he then met the two men together in March or April 2001 in a Queens, N.Y., warehouse. That’s when Ferrari suggested killing Wagner. Moscatiello liked the plan, Kidan said.
“I looked at him and I’m like, `Are you kidding me?'” Kidan said….
Kidan said that a few months later, Ferrari suggested robbing SunCruz boats. Ferrari wanted to plant men on the ships and have racing boats go out to them. The men in the boats would distribute guns to the plants and then they would take off with the money to the Bahamas, Kidan said.
Kidan said he called Ferrari’s scheme “crazy.”
“Between that and… the dump truck trying to kill Joan Wagner… it was almost comical after a while,” Kidan said.
Ha ha. Ha. . .
