text: The corpse found in cement overshoes in the waters off Brooklyn over the weekend has been identified as a member of a notorious local mob family, police said Tuesday. 
   
   The body of Carmine Carini, 35, was found Saturday near East 58th Street and Avenue U near his residence in Mill Basin — with a cinder block bound to his legs with an electrical cord and his body wrapped in a blue tarp sealed with duct tape. 
   
   “It was right out of ‘GoodFellas,’ ” a law enforcement source said. 
   
   NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at a press conference Tuesday, “The victim was a reputed mobster’s son. His father had the OC [organized crime] ties, not him. Right now, we’re in an active investigation to see who was in his life at the time.” 
   
   Carini died from blunt-force trauma to the head but had also been stabbed, police sources said. He was identified through fingerprints. 
   
   Carini’s dad — also named Carmine — is an associate of the Colombo crime family, a police source said. 
   
   Carmine Sr. spent nearly a quarter-century behind bars for the 1983 killing of a Bay Ridge record shop owner. 
   
   He was later freed in a plea deal after two mob turncoats revealed his cousin Vinnie was the actual killer — only to wind up back behind bars a year later after he was busted posing as a cop to commit home-invasion robberies. 
   
   Vinnie and another cousin, Enrico, later famously botched a hit on a former Mafia prosecutor and ended up paying the ultimate price. 
   
   They were recruited by Colombo boss Carmine Persico to assassinate William Aronwald, a former prosecutor on the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Strike Force — but inadvertently offed the prosecutor’s elderly dad instead. The bungling wiseguys were found dead in Sheepshead Bay a few months later. 
   
   The younger Carmine Carini had his own rap sheet. 
   
   He was arrested for robbery in 2003, 2004 and in June last year and also had a drug-possession charge in 2010, according to police records. 
   
   He spent five years in the slammer for the 2003 robberies, in which he committed 10 muggings in an hour by driving around Bergen Beach, Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend in a van and threatening strangers for money with a machete or a bat, according to a report at the time. 
   
   He was released in 2009 but was back behind bars again in 2011 and 2014. 
   
   He was most recently released in 2015, and his dad was freed from federal prison in July this year. 
   
   Additional reporting by Ruth Brown ||||| A man whose body was found tied to a cinder block and floating near a dock over the weekend in Brooklyn was the son of a Mafia associate, the police said Tuesday. 
   
   The body of Carmine Carini, 35, was discovered in an inlet near his home in Mill Basin on Saturday, three days after he was last heard from, the police chief of detectives, Robert K. Boyce, said at a monthly news conference. 
   
   Mr. Carini was identified through fingerprints, and investigators say they think he had been in the water since Friday night because witnesses said they had seen the tarp he was wrapped in, Chief Boyce said. The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, the medical examiner’s office said. 
   
   The police were still trying to figure out why he was killed and his body dumped using a Mafia-style technique. A five-pound bag of drywall compound was also tied to his body, Chief Boyce said. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

target: – The case of a body dumped in waters off Brooklyn using a "Mafia-style technique," as the New York Times puts it, seems to indeed have Mafia elements. The body found attached to both a cinder block and 5-pound bag of drywall compound on Saturday has been identified as Carmine Carini, 35. "It was right out of GoodFellas," a police source tells the New York Post, which says the cinder block was secured to Carini's legs via an electrical cord; a blue tarp was duct-taped around his body. "The victim was a reputed mobster's son," said Police Chief of Detectives Robert K. Boyce on Tuesday, specifying, "His father had the OC [organized crime] ties, not him." The Post says those ties were to the Colombo crime family, while the New York Daily News says he's a Gambino family associate. The younger Carini did have his own troubles with the law, including five years spent in prison in connection with at least 10 muggings he committed in 2003 in the span of an hour. The Daily News reports Carini was last seen on Aug. 30, with Boyce saying police "believe he was in the water Friday night." He reportedly suffered a skull fracture and had been stabbed in the arm and leg; a fingerprint identification was made.
