A 62-year-old Philadelphia man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his part in the 2014 murder of Michael Galdieri, who was stabbed to death in his Jersey City apartment, which was then set ablaze. The hitman had been hired by a NJ political operative.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A federal judge in Newark handed down a 20-year sentence on Thursday to one of three men convicted of a strange and politically connected murder-for-hire plot.
Galdieri, the son of a former state senator, was involved in low-level political work – including working for Caddle on campaigns. “Without his assistance, I don’t think we would be standing here,” said Lee Cortes, executive assistant U.S. attorney for New Jersey. Cortes asked the judge to sentence Africa to between 15 and 18 years, saying he’d cooperated with the investigation.
The judge said he did not accept the idea that Africa had cooperated in a timely fashion. Africa was arrested in 2015 in connection with the bank robberies, and offered to testify against Bratsenis for those crimes.
