Gangster-Turned-Snitch-Turned-Podcaster Hit With Domestic Violence Charge

Gang Land Exclusive!Gene BorrelloHe's been a violent Bonanno crime family gangster, a cooperating witness, and a podcaster who's moved from Howard Beach to Tampa to Miami while spending six years behind bars. But he's the same old Gene Borrello. His severe anger management issues that are documented in numerous filings in Brooklyn Federal Court have gotten him into new trouble, Gang Land has learned.

Borrello has been charged with having stalked, threatened, manhandled, and robbed a Miami woman with whom he was living. According to an arrest complaint and a videotape, the woman is heard screaming "get off of me" after Borrello chases her out of the kitchen off camera. He allegedly then "grabbed her by the neck" and dragged her around her apartment and back into the kitchen, according to the complaint.

Wearing just boxer shorts, Borrello, 40, can be heard saying "this is crazy, we're completely over" as he chases her out of the kitchen. She is heard screaming for about 30 seconds until he finally drags her back into a "kitchen island," and leaves her there, the complaint states.
