	In 1968, Salemme arranged the car bombing of John Fitzgerald, a lawyer representing Patriarca mob informant [[Joseph Barboza]]. The point of the attack was to scare Barboza into not testifying against Raymond Patriarca and other mob leaders. Fitzgerald survived the attack, but lost his left leg. It was later established in testimony by several witnesses and confirmed by the U.S. House of Representatives Organized Crime unit investigation that Salemme was involved in the bombing, but did not carry it out. After the unsuccessful attack, Salemme went into hiding. He remained a fugitive until 1972, when he was captured by FBI agent [[John Connolly (FBI)\|John Connolly]] in [[~~Mattapan~~]].
