‘Mob Wives’ Star Ex-Hubby Testifies Against Gambino Associate in Murder Trial
The ex-hubby of “Mob Wives” reality star Renee Graziano took to the stand Tuesday to testify against former buddy and Gambino mob associate Luigi Grasso.
Admitted killer Hector Pagan says he pulled the trigger and killed Luchese associate James Donovan outside a Gravesend body shop in 2010. But Pagan knew enough about Graziano that he agreed to become a Mob turncoat in return for a reduced sentence.
“I put the gun to him and said, ‘Stay right here,’” said Pagan. “He wiggled away and started running. I turned around and shot him.”
The mobsters targeted Donovan because he was known to carry around thick wads of cash and they ambushed him as he pulled up to a body shop, the New York Post reported.
Among Pagan’s more gruesome crimes, he recalled during testimony how, while in prison, he punched a man who then fell onto a sharp object that popped out his eyeball.
Pagan is known as a notorious informant who once wore a wire in order to record incriminating conversations with his own father-in-law and the reality star’s dad, Anthony Graziano.
