Another close friend and past associate is turning government witness against the former boss of the New England Mafia, Francis Salemme — long-known as "Cadillac Frank."

New witness Robert Deluca says he helped Salemme hide the body of a Boston nightclub owner who Salemme and a co-defendant are accused of murdering in 1993.

Deluca's account corroborates the story of another former-associate turned-witness, Steven Flemmi.
