‘Mafia boss’ going to trial

Reputed Genovese mob boss Eugene “Rooster” O’Nofrio has given up on plea talks and is headed to trial for racketeering, his lawyer confirmed Thursday.

“We want to make the government prove anything they’re alleging against my client,” Thomas Nooter said following a Manhattan federal court hearing.

Last month, O’Nofrio, who allegedly ran crews on Manhattan’s Mulberry Street for Conrad Ianniello while he was in prison, was set to plead guilty to the charges against him, including allegations of loansharking and cigarette trafficking.

Instead, he pleaded not guilty Thursday to a superseding indictment.
