DiLeo is an Enforcer to the Pegorino Family led by Jimmy Pegorino. He is 27 years old and his nickname is 'Tuna'.
He is close friends with Luca Silvestri.
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]
DiLeo, along with the other members of his sub-crew (Luca Silvestri and Johnny Barbosa), were introduced to Niko Bellic in the mission "Taking in the Trash", in which Ray sends Niko to assist them in picking up the diamonds that Johnny Klebitz left in two Algonquin trashbags in the The Lost and Damned mission "Diamonds in the Rough" (which took place at the same time as the The Ballad of Gay Tony mission "Frosting on the Cake").
The foursome were ambushed by unidentified attackers (potentially Gay Tony associates), but escaped. After escaping, Dileo along with the other members betrayed Boccino and Bellic by taking the money for themselves; but Niko killed them and reclaimed the Diamonds for Ray.
