Caroline, 59, is married to Thomas' brother, Albert Manzo , and recently expressed support for her brother-in-law — prompting Dina, 49, to speak out against Caroline and later, Caroline's son Albie. Here's a breakdown of everything we know about the Manzo family drama and legal troubles so far.
According to a release issued last December by New Jersey U. Attorney Craig Carpenito, alleged Lucchese crime family soldier John Perna pled guilty to planning and carrying out an aggravated assault on Cantin in Prosecutors alleged that Thomas, 55, hired Perna, 43, to assault Cantin, who was Dina's boyfriend at the time, "in exchange for a deeply discounted wedding reception to be held at Manzo's upscale Passaic County venue.
In exchange for committing the assault, Perna held a lavish wedding reception at Manzo's restaurant, just one month later, for a fraction of the price he would otherwise have paid. The reception was attended by over guests, many of whom were members of the Lucchese Crime Family.
According to the original indictment , Thomas was "upset" that Cantin "had an ongoing relationship with" his ex-wife, Dina, and "planned to have a violent assault committed on" Cantin "that would leave a permanent facial scar. Then, "on or about July 18, ," Perna and an accomplice followed Cantin "to a strip mall in Passaic County, New Jersey," where the pair "attacked" Cantin in the parking lot, the indictment stated.
Perna allegedly "used a dangerous weapon, namely a slap jack, with the intent to inflict serious permanent injury" on Cantin. Perna, during his plea of guilty, never mentioned that he was involved in this activity, directly or indirectly, with Mr. To me, that is evidence of exoneration of Mr. Just a month before Dina and Cantin tied the knot, the couple was the target of a brutal home invasion. The May attack left the reality star and Cantin badly beaten and bound in their New Jersey townhouse.
In the aftermath, Cantin and Dina — who is mom to adult daughter Lexi from a previous relationship — moved permanently to the West Coast. The first arrest was made in the case in May Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced in a press release at the time that James Mainello had been taken into custody for his alleged involvement in the invasion. It was unclear at the time if Mainello had retained legal representation to comment on his behalf.
We've had such a great support system. Last month, Thomas was linked to the case for the first time. According to a May 11 press release , he was indicted alongside Mainello for his role as an accomplice to first degree robbery, second degree burglary, second degree aggravated assault, third degree aggravated assault, third degree theft, third degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and third degree criminal restraint.
Another wrote, "This makes me so sad. I really liked Caroline but this is not a good look at all," while a third urged: "You need to support your sister. Dina herself commented on Luke's post saying that she's sick of people "taking her kidness for weakness. The Bravo alum wrote: "Normally Lukey I would ask you to take this down but ya know what? I'm starting to think some just expect us to stay quiet while they continue to hurt others… that's what gives them 'power'. Jump directly to the content.
