History[]
Whilst investigating the attacks on several gay men, Reyes discovers that Petrillo owns all the clubs where the victims were drugged. When Bell and Stabler question Petrillo, Petrillo denies any involvement. When Bell and Stabler question him about previous investigations into him, Petrillo told them that he was innocent in all the past cases. Petrillo then claims that he made profits from the clubs and wouldn't do anything to screw that up. Later, Petrillo meets with Alex where he asks to know about the robberies. Alex told Petrillo that he thought he would be proud of him while Petrillo deals with gambling debts. Petrillo tells Alex that he wants better for him and wants Alex to shut down the operation.
Later, after Alex gets arrested by the police, Alex agrees to go and meet with Moretti whilst wired. Alex then meets with Moretti where they go into a warehouse where Petrillo was being kept. Moretti tells Petrillo that he's going to turn over all five clubs to him or he'll murder Alex. Petrillo mentions that Moretti wants to kill them both and Moretti pulls a gun on Petrillo. Moretti tells Alex that Petrillo uses the clubs to launder money and he makes a fortune. Alex becomes angry and lunges at Moretti who finds the wire. Moretti then shoots Petrillo before the cops come in. The cops then arrest Alex and Moretti and Petrillo gets taken to the hospital. It is unknown whether Petrillo was arrested or walked free.
