Manhattan construction company stole $7M: DA

Big buck bilking may run in the Figliolia family.

A Manhattan construction company run by George Figliolia, 52, of Roslyn, LI, stole $7 million from five renovation clients, prosecutors announced today.

The family was last in the news in 2004, when George’s plumber cousin, Alex, along with Alex’s wife Janet and their son, Alex Jr., all pleaded guilty to running a racket that rooked the MTA out of at least $2 million.

The plumbing Figliolias, who officials said had mob ties, were the more outlandish branch of the family — living in a gaudy $4 million mansion in Holmdel, NJ, that featured indoor-outdoor pizza ovens and had its own swan pond in the backyard.

Dad Alex was famous for tooling around Carrol Gardens, Brooklyn, in a Mercedes with the vanity plates, “Mr. Fig.”

But all the Figliolias worked the same simple scheme, according to yesterday’s accusations — sticking clients with inflated bills from complicit subcontractors who would kick back the excess loot to the family.

George will be arraigned today on charges of grand larceny and scheme to defraud, authorities said. His Chief Financial Officer Isaac Stareshfsky and his vice president, John Krupa, face related charges.

In his first news conference since taking office this month, DA Cyrus Vance said that such construction rackets heap an additional 10 percent cost onto consumers in the city’s $25 billion construction industry.
