“Good riddance.”
In 2018, a jury convicted Salemme and his co-defendant Paul Weadick of killing Steven DiSarro, the 43-year-old owner of The Channel club. Prosecutors argued at trial that DiSarro had been murdered because Salemme and his son, who had vested interests as “silent partners” in The Channel, suspected he might supply information to federal investigators.
Salemme had been living in witness protection in Georgia under the assumed name of Richard Parker when Steven DiSarro’s remains were unearthed behind a Rhode Island mill in 2016. When he heard that the authorities were searching for DiSarro in Providence, Salemme fled Atlanta. He was arrested in Connecticut several days later.
In 1989, Salemme survived an assassination attempt outside a suburban Boston pancake house, escaping with bullet wounds to his chest and legs. That year, then-boss Raymond “Junior” Patriarca led a family induction ceremony that was secretly recorded by the FBI, leading to his imprisonment three years later. Salemme, still recovering from his injuries, had not attended the meeting, and took over as the head of the Patriarca family after Junior went away.
“I want no part of anything ever again… I’ve learned my lesson,” Salemme told a judge, according to theHe was sentenced to 11 years in prison, but agreed to cooperate with the government in exchange for a reduced sentence, testifying against Bulger’s former FBI handler, John J. Connolly Jr., in the ex-fed’s own racketeering trial in 2002. But Salemme continued to maintain he knew nothing about DiSarro’s disappearance, and was placed in witness protection in 2003.
