Carmello Merlino is affiliated with the Boston area New England Mafia. He is a Patriarca family underboss. Often first to be informed of dealings in the criminal underworld of Boston.
Merlino’s place of business, TRC Auto Electric auto body on Dot Ave, is frequented by such organized crime figures as Carmen Tortora and Robert Guarente, along with Stephen Rossetti and David Turner. Turner himself is a person of interest in the Gardner case. TRC Autoelectric is a known front for the Patriarca drug ring.
Known employees of TRC Auto Electric include:
- Stephen Rossetti
- David Turner
- David Hougton
- George Reissfelder
- Bobby Donati (known police informant)
In a bid for leniency for his involvement in a -million-a-year cocaine ring, Carmello Merlino offered to produce a painting filched in 1985 from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Museum in Cambridge.
Feb. 7, 1999, Merlino and three criminal associates - William Merlino, 47, nephew, David A. Turner, 40, and Stephen Rosetti, 49,  were seized by federal agents for conspiring to rob a Loomis-Fargo & Co. armored depot in Easton. But when Carmello Merlino faced 25 years in federal prison for his involvement in the botched heist at the armored car depot, the reputed New England Mafia figure claimed he could offer information on the missing Gardner paintings..
Boston had several active criminal organizations at the time of the Gardner heist. Whitey Bulger was the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, Frank Salemme was the boss of the Patriarca crime family, Carmello Merlino lead a grew of wiseguys out of TRC Auto Electric, and the McLaughlin brothers lead the Charlestown Mob. Then there are the Five Families, which are five separate but linked crime families based in New York: the Lucchese, Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese and Colombo. Some of these organizations operate in many different locations. The Genovese family has branches in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Washington. The Colombo family was active in New York, New England and New Jersey.
These criminal organizations interact with each other. Could these interactions help to determine what happened with the stolen Gardner Museum art? A group in Boston likely planned and executed the heist, and transported the art south to the Philadelphia/Connecticut region and offered it for sale. Which group had the connections to do this? There are many connections between Boston mafia groups and mobs based in the “Mid-Atlantic”. Frank Salemme was friendly with Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang and Carmello Merlino, as well as two New York based mobs: the Gambino crime family and the Colombo crime family.
