Hull Fire Looked Into As Mob Boss Goes To Trial

HULL, MA (WBZ-AM) --  The State Fire Marshall is looking into a Car Fire earlier this month  outside of a hull restaurant  owned by a man who is set to testify in the trial of reputed mobster "Cadillac Frank" Salemme.

The blaze on April 17th was outside the "pizza box" which is owned by Peter Booras.

According to the Patriot Ledger, Booras  once owned  The Channel Nightclub in the 1980's but was forced out by Salemme and his associates. 

Booras brother Harry is scheduled to testify at Salemme's federal murder trial, which began on Wednesday with jury selection.

A spokeswoman for the State's Department of Fire Services says investigators don't know what started the fire or whether it was deliberately set.
