His days of swimming with the fishes are over!
A high-ranking member of the Colombo crime family wanted in a federal racketeering case surrendered Friday — one day after his son posted a photo to Twitter of him standing in a glistening swimming pool in Florida.
Ralph DiMatteo, the clan’s alleged consigliere, turned himself into the FBI at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, according to Brooklyn prosecutors.
The 66-year-old mobster took off to Florida one day before the feds busted his 13-co-defendants on racketeering, extortion and other raps related to the infiltration of a Queens labor union.
The photo popped up on the Twitter feed after a judge ordered that other Colombo leaders named in the sweeping indictment be held without bail at their arraignments — including boss Andrew “Mush” Russo, 87, underboss Benjamin “The Claw” Castellazzo, 83, captains Theodore Persico Jr., Richard Ferrara, and Vincent Ricciardo.
DiMatteo — the family’s third most powerful member — is shown in the snap shirtless, half-submerged in a turquoise-colored pool, and sporting a gold crucifix around his neck as he stares directly into the camera.
The shot has since been taken down. It’s unclear when or where it was taken.
It may be a while before DiMatteo gets to enjoy the Sunshine State’s tropical rays. Prosecutors wrote in a detention memo that they want the wiseguy held without bail.
DiMatteo’s lawyer Mathew Mari didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
