'Pennisi said he became a member of the Lucchese family in 2013, during
a secret initiation ceremony at a house on Staten Island on his wife’s
birthday.
Matty Madonna, the acting boss of the Lucchese family, presided over
the ceremony, he said.
In the darkness of a basement, Pennisi sat in front of a table.
“There was a gun, a knife, there was a picture of a saint, an ashtray,
a lighter, and like a diabetic pin, needle to check your blood,” said
Pennisi.
Madonna, from the Bronx, asked Pennisi what his trigger finger was and
shortly after, John (Big John) Castellucci, a Staten Island resident
and crew captain, who was sitting next to him, poked his finger with
the needle, according to his testimony.
“They took the saint, and they poured blood drops onto the saint, and
then he said to me we're going to light the saint on fire, and you're
going to put your hands out and you're going to move the paper of the
saint back and forth in your hands and repeat after me,” said Pennisi.
“Matty [Madonna] said if I was ever to betray any member of the
family, that my soul would burn like the saint is burning,” he said.
He did not specify where on Staten Island the ritual took place.'
