Angelo Prisco

Who is Angelo Prisco?

Angelo Prisco, also known as "The Horn", is a New Jersey mobster who became a caporegime in the Genovese crime family.

He is the son of Genovese crime family soldier Rudolph "Rudy" Prisco who was identified along with hundreds as members of the crime family by Joe Valachi and convicted of crimes. Angelo stands at 5'7 and weighs 165 pounds with brown eyes and gray-black hair. With the 1988 murder of Genovese caporegime John DiGilio, Prisco assumed control of the Genovese family operations in New Jersey. He is a relative of Rudolph Prisco Sr who died with sons and grand children, a Genovese crime family who was indicted and convicted of criminal activity from the testimony of Joseph Valachi in 1963.

In 1992, Prisco ordered the murder of Genovese family caporegime Angelo Sanguiolo. After discovering that Sanguiolo robbed four Genovese gambling operations in the Bronx, Prisco received permission from Genovese boss Vincent Gigante to kill Sanguiolo. In 1994, Prisco was charged with the 1988 DiGilio murder as part of a racketeering indictment. However, in 1998, Prisco was allowed to plead guilty to the arson only and was sentenced to 12 years in New Jersey state prison.
