== History ==
Paul Bruno was born in Manhattan in 1957, and spent most of his childhood in Brooklyn, before moving upstate to Poughkeepsie as a teenager.
Bruno's first criminal offense was assault, when he was 16, at a liquor store in Poughkeepsie.
When he was 19, he moved to Albany and lived with his uncle Jimmy Barbara, who was a caporegime in the Russetto crime family.
Bruno began his career with the Russettos in the late-1970s, and was supposedly "made" in 1985, a few months after the murder of Jeffrey Liman. Authorities suspect Bruno as the perpetrator.
Bruno was supposedly responsible for several drug trafficking operations in the late-1980s and early-1990s. In 1994, he was indicted and found guilty of several crimes including assault with a deadly weapon, and served 7 years in FCI Cumberland, Maryland.
Bruno's criminal record has been shadowy since the early 2000s, but many believe him to be a high-ranking soldier in the Russetto crime family.
