A Colombo crime family associate who worked at a Brooklyn celebrity pizzeria pleaded guilty today to robbing a yeshiva of more than $50,000.
In a deal with the feds, Dominick “Black Dom” Dionisio pleaded guilty to racketeering charges and admitted his role in the yeshiva heist and several other gunpoint robberies.
As a consequence, the feds will drop attempted murder charges against Dionisio for allegedly trying to assassinate two mobsters from a rival Colombo faction during the crime family’s internecine war in the early 1990s.
On Wednesday, the 41-year-old mobster told Judge Dora Irizarry that in 1991 he had waylayed an employee of the Magen David Yeshiva on McDonald Avenue in Brooklyn and stole cash and checks worth more than $50,000.
He will face a prison term of 70-87 months when he is sentenced by the judge in January.
