In a revealing interview, former agent Seamus McElearney detailed Anthony Capo’s dramatic turn to cooperation during a proffer session amid organized crime investigations. Capo, a member of the Cavalcanti crime family—once dubbed the “Sixth Family” aligned with the powerful Gambino family—confessed to key crimes including acting as the driver in the murder of Staten Island businessman Fred Weiss. Weiss was killed on September 11, 1989, under John Gotti’s orders, due to mistaken paranoia that Weiss was cooperating with law enforcement after switching lawyers.

Capo also admitted to shooting John D’Amato, the acting boss of the Cavalcanti family, who was killed over allegations involving his personal conduct and misappropriation of family funds. McElearney highlighted the risks Capo took by divulging these crimes, exposing himself to a potential life sentence. This proffer session marked a pivotal moment in dismantling ties within both the Cavalcanti and Gambino families.
