Prosecutors Describe Nicholas Tartaglione's Crimes In Gruesome Detail

Federal prosecutors alleged that Nicholas Tartaglione orchestrated the April 2016 kidnapping and murder of Martin Luna over what they described as stolen drug money. According to the government’s account, Tartaglione lured Luna to the Likquid Lounge in Chester, New York, under the pretense of resolving the dispute. Luna arrived with his nephews, Miguel Luna and Urbano Santiago, and their friend Hector Gutierrez. Prosecutors said Tartaglione restrained the group, took Martin Luna into a back room or bathroom, interrogated and beat him, and then strangled him with a zip tie. The other three men were allegedly held captive because they had witnessed what happened and had unexpectedly accompanied Luna to the meeting.

The government said the victims were then transported to Tartaglione’s property in Otisville, where Martin Luna’s body was buried and the remaining three men were shot to eliminate witnesses. Prosecutors alleged that Tartaglione directed the operation with help from Joseph Biggs, Georgios Gounaris and Jason Sullivan, who were accused of participating in the abductions, killings and disposal of the bodies. Investigators eventually recovered all four victims from a grave on Tartaglione’s property after a cooperating defendant led authorities to the location. The prosecution presented the killings as the culmination of Tartaglione’s involvement in cocaine trafficking and his effort to recover money while concealing the murder of Martin Luna and silencing everyone who had seen it.
