Mobster Marrapese set to be released after 1 p.m.

Imprisoned mobster Frank L. “Bobo” Marrapese Jr. is set to be released from prison today, one month after his last scheduled release was postponed because of an abundance of publicity.

Tracey Z. Poole, spokeswoman for the Adult Correctional Institutions, said yesterday that Marrapese has a job and will be released sometime after 1:00 p.m. today.

Last month, the Journal reported that the 65-year-old had landed a job at a Anthony’s Restaurant in Johnston. The consequential news coverage resulted in the restaurant withdrawing its offer and Marrapese’s release was postponed until he could find another job.

Marrapese, who was convicted in one gangland slaying and implicated in two other murders, will move back into his home at 104 Elwyn St. in Cranston.
