High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Liborio Salvatore Bellomo (born January 8, 1957), known as Barney and Big Barney, is a high ranking caporegime (captain) and street boss of the Genovese crime family in New York City. Bellomo is one of the fastest rising Mafia members in the United States today, becoming a capo in his mid-twenties. Bellomo was considered Vincent Gigante`s logical successor as boss of the Genovese family until Bellomo was sent to prison in 1996. Now released from prison he is believed to have resumed his role as captain and maybe even holds a high ranking administrative position in the Genovese crime family hierarchy.
