BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A man accused of plotting to kill a New England crime boss and hiding out in Idaho for the past decade has been placed under the supervision of U.S. marshals who will supervise his return to Boston.

A federal judge on Friday also said 42-year-old Enrico Ponzo will remain in custody without bond until he is moved. Marshals declined to say when that would occur.

Ponzo was arrested Monday at his home in the small, Idaho town of Marsing.

FBI agents say he had been living in Idaho for at least a decade since he fled Boston in 1994 to avoid state drug charges.

He was indicted in 1997 on more serious crimes related to organized crime, including trying to kill former mob boss Frank “Cadillac Frank” Salemme.
