“Tommy “Horsehead” Scafidi, a former mob hit man, claims he was ordered by Philadelphia boss John Stanfa to kill Geraldo Rivera for giving the mob bad publicity,” UPI reports. “Rivera’s interview with Scafidi is set to air Monday on ‘Geraldo at Large.’“
The Philadelphia Inquirer says Rivera recently learned about the plot: “Stanfa was furious that Rivera and crew had shown up at Stanfa’s warehouse about 15 years ago and started peppering him with mob-related questions. ‘He was insulted by my confrontational approach,’ says Rivera, who says he was also threatened years ago in New York by John Gotti’s boys.”
