Ray Boccino: Difference between revisions

Boccino is first introduced in ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', where he asks [[Niko Bellic]] to murder [[Teddy Benavidez]], a Dominican gangster. He later orders Bellic, along with [[Joseph DiLeo|Joe DiLeo]], [[Johnny Barbosa]] and [[Luca Silvestri]], to retrieve the [[diamonds]] that were stolen from [[Anthony Prince]], hidden in numerous trash bags throughout [[Algonquin]]. When the trio steal the diamonds for themselves, Boccino sends Bellic to retrieve them.

Boccino then asks Bellic to pair up with the acting leader of the [[The Lost Brotherhood|Lost Motorcycle Club]], [[Johnny Klebitz]], and sell the stolen diamonds to [[Jewish Mob]] associates [[Issac Roth]] and [[Mori Green]]. However, [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] ambushes the deal and takes the diamonds, while Klebitz steals the money. In retaliation, Boccino kidnaps Lost member [[Jim Fitzgerald]], who later escapes with Klebitz, murdering one of Boccino's crew in the process. Seeking revenge, Boccino sends Bellic to murder Fitzgerald and orders his crew to find and kill Klebitz. Klebitz survives and plans to retaliate, but is told not to by Congressman [[Thomas Stubbs III]], who tells Klebitz that Boccino and the Pegorino crime family are under surveillance and that half of the organization would be "either arrested or killed within a month."

Roth blames the ambushed diamond deal on Boccino and threatens to kill him. In retaliation, Boccino again orders Bellic to murder Roth at Roth's penthouse at the [[Majestic Hotel]]. Afterwards, Boccino arranges an apartment in [[Alderney City]] for Bellic so he can can "keep a closer eye on him." As the Pegorino family's affairs fall further into turmoil, [[James Pegorino]] decides to send a message to any possible informants in the organization and orders Bellic to murder Boccino, believing he is an informant.
