Murder and Subsequent Investigation
Three men have been charged with the 2001 murder of Boulis:
- Anthony "Little Tony" Ferrari was arrested at his North Miami Beach home on September 25, 2005.
- James "Pudgy" Fiorillo, was arrested on September 26, 2005, in Palm Coast.
- Anthony "Big Tony" Moscatiello was arrested at his Howard Beach home in New York on September 25, 2005.
Moscatiello and Ferrari have been charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation to commit murder. Fiorillo has been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
It is alleged that Kidan had hired Anthony Moscatiello as a business advisor (despite a previous indictment as former bookkeeper for the Gambino crime family), paying him $145,000 through SunCruz for services that were allegedly never rendered. Ferrari also received $95,000 from SunCruz as payment for security services, in addition to further sums in casino chips.
In May 2006, Adam Kidan told authorities that Moscatiello and Ferrari confided in him that another Gotti associate, John Gurino, killed Boulis. Gurino himself was killed in October 2003. At the time, Gurino was not a part of the Boulis investigation.
As of 18 June 2010 (2010 -06-18) Ferrari, Fiorillo, and Moscatiello continue to be held at the Broward County Jail. Despite the length of time from when the murder and arrests took place, no trial dates have been set, due mostly to scheduling and other delays.

Famous quotes containing the words murder and, murder and/or subsequent:
“Anybody who’s been through a divorce will tell you that at one point ... they’ve thought murder. The line between thinking murder and doing murder isn’t that major.”
—Oliver Stone (b. 1946)
“What drivel it all is!... A string of words called religion. Another string of words called philosophy. Half a dozen other strings called political ideals. And all the words either ambiguous or meaningless. And people getting so excited about them they’ll murder their neighbours for using a word they don’t happen to like. A word that probably doesn’t mean as much as a good belch. Just a noise without even the excuse of gas on the stomach.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Reading ... is an activity subsequent to writing: more resigned, more civil, more intellectual.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
