Sonny Bellini was a businessman, associate, and good friend of Vinnie Sporteino.
Bio
Meeting Vinnie
Sonny became friends with Vinnie Sporteino at a very young age. He co-founded The Family with Sporteino in 1968 and fled to New Prairie with him in 1973 after a failed drug exchange. He split from The Family in 1974.
He attempted to enter the fishing business until the early 80s when he switched to selling drugs hidden among frozen fish. After several busts and gaining a bad reputation, Sonny transitioned from drugs to money laundering in the early 90s.
Jerry Burr & Jimmy Vito
In 1992, he met Jerry Burr and Michael Partoni, becoming good friends with both. In 1995, after being arrested for the third time trying to pull the same scam, Sonny met Jimmy Vito, a cop from Chicago who agreed to a deal: if he worked with the police to help take down Vinnie, he would have all charges dropped and be a free man.
Sonny agreed and over the next few months assisted Vinnie in disposing of some newly received cocaine, which was immediately delivered to Jimmy, who was secretly undercover as Tom Cortini, a dealer.
Final Days
Sonny is “murdered” by Jimmy, who has recently "revealed" himself, in front of Vinnie and Jerry Burr (who’s been helping with the exchanges). After the events that transpired, Sonny went into hiding and left New Prairie.
3 years later, his fishing business reopened mysteriously leading to the idea that Sonny was back in New Prairie but continuing to hide out.
