In 1984, May 22, Charles Raffa was visiting one of his properties,
an empty supermarket on Stanley Avenue in the East New York section of Brooklyn.
At about noon, neighbors saw Raffa stumbling out of the building, mumbling incoherently.
He had been beaten, and his head had been sliced open so badly that his scalp covered his eyes.
He was never able to give a useful description of his attackers, and the police never made an arrest.
Over the months and years that followed, rumors about what had happened multiplied.
According to one, Raffa was an arsonist trying to burn down his own building, and the beating was a mob hit.
In another, the governor himself had orchestrated an official cover-up of the incident by having his bodyguard (a New York City police detective)
wash the car to remove fingerprints linking Raffa with a young man who’d been seen in the car earlier.
Nicholas Pileggi showed in an article in New York (“Cuomo and Those Rumors,” November 2, 1987) that most of the stories were false, misleading, or largely unsubstantiated.
