 | The corpse found in cement overshoes in the waters off Brooklyn over the weekend has been identified as Carmine Carini, 35, a member of a notorious local mob family. The body was found with a cinderblock brick bound to his legs by an electrical cord and his body wrapped in a blue tarp and sealed with duct tape. Carini died from blunt-force trauma to the head and had also been stabbed. Carini’s father — also named Carmine — is an associate of the Colombo crime family. Carmine Sr. spent nearly a quarter-century behind bars for a 1983 killing. |  |
 Carmine 'The Snake' Persico | Two cousins of Carini were recruited by Colombo boss Carmine Persico to assassinate William Aronwald, a former prosecutor with the Justice Department, but they offed the prosecutor’s elderly father instead. The bungling wiseguys were found dead a few months later. Then, the hit men who had killed the hit men were killed. |  |
 One of the Carini brothers | The younger Carmine Carini had his own lengthy rap sheet. He was arrested for robbery in 2003, 2004 and in June last year and also had a drug-possession charge in 2010. He spent five years in the slammer for the 2003 robberies, in which he committed 10 muggings in an hour by driving around in a van and threatening strangers for money with a machete. He earned the moniker the 'Machete Mugger'. He was released in 2009 but was back behind bars again in 2011 and 2014. |  |
