Hector “Junior” Pagan, the ex-husband of Renee Graziano, who was seen regularly on the hit reality series last year and was supposedly playing a prominent role in the upcoming season, "was reportedly flipped by the feds last summer," the Post reports.
Junior, fans of the show will recall, was picked up in January as part of the "big Mafia sweep" in the Northeast by the feds, who shortly afteward cut their resources focused on LCN.
And worse for the Graziano family, Pagan's first target was mob wife Renee and show creator Jennifer Graziano's dad, Bonanno crime family capo Anthony Graziano. Online mob newsletter ganglandnews.com reported that Pagan had been secretly taping conversations with the elder Graziano for the government.
According to reports in the Post story, Pagan — who was looking at a long prison term for armed robbery for his role in allegedly sticking up a high-stakes poker game — agreed to wear a wire and record conversations with his ex-father-in-law.
The tape reportedly caught the elder Graziano instructing Pagan to collect a $150,000 loanshark debt from an unidentified man.
Graziano, 71, recently finished a substantial prison sentence when he was arrested at home last week.
The sisters claimed last year that their father had cut off all contact with them because he did not approve of the TV show.
