Heading: The Conspiracy to Murder Frank Hydell

Text: 6 In early 1998, there were rumors in the Family that Frank Hydell was cooperating with the Government and providing information about Matera and about Carbonaro's nephews. Carbonaro told Michael DiLeonardo, who was a Captain in the Family, that Hydell was a rat and had to be killed. On April 27, 1998, Matera lured Hydell to a nightclub on Staten Island. In the early morning hours he was shot and killed as he stepped outside the nightclub. In early 2002, several years following Hydell's murder, Michael DiLeonardo heard that there might be an arrest related to the Hydell murder. DiLeonardo warned Carbonaro, who told him that he, Carbonaro, was the driver on that hit and that Matera brought Hydell to the strip club to set him up.
