Blah blah blah..... Why does this stupid question always come up? Who would win between this group and that group? People who actually study this stuff in depth know that it's very rare that two different organized crime groups (in terms of ethnicity) fight each other. They work with each other for ...

Westside maybe you know. Was their ever a hit on Gotti jr over the fact the FBI was spreading rumors he cooperated? He seems quite nervous over the fact in the video I posted. He states the FBI was serving subpoenas and letting mafioso know he was the reason behind them being served. He seems to ha...

I hope the law catches up with this guy eventually. They tried numerous times over the last few years and failed, but hopefully they get him in the end. I just know the guy is dirty and has a lot of blood on his hands. And the way he's trying to cash in on the Gotti name is sickening. First his sis...

Gotti was assaulted by a black inmate (Walter Johnson) but he - like many mafiosi - had gone off on racist rants before.

Anthony Hickey Dilorenzo was listed as a "made member" in the appeal of James Ida. That's true, he was. Louis Ruggiero was listed as an associate but he didnt testify and he held fast after being accused of 2 murders and battling one in court. I dont know of his whereabouts if he is still involved ...

Anthony "Hickey" Dilorenzo, Louis Ruggiero, John Schenone, and John Bologna were all associates. Michele "Mickey Dimino" Generoso was a captain before he stepped down and Chucky Tuzzo took over his crew. As far as I know, he's still alive, but he's in his 90's now. Nicholas Frustaci is also made. He...

Do we have any idea as to the mafias view on this show. Graziano was a high ranking member of the Bonanos and his daughter is currently on the show. Karen Gravano daughter of Sammy the Bull Gravano is also on the show and I imagine that the reception to her being back on Staten Island wouldnt be ap...

Off topic.........but do the families provide for incarcerated members attorney fees and do they provide for members who are convicted and sent to prison? are their any articles dealing with this and is/does the taking care of imprisoned members still happen? I read an article somewhere about how a...

Highly Speculative. Massino and Basciano didnt comment to the effect they had any knowledge about this murder. They openly discussed several other murders and Basciano was very open in speaking on the murders -so I believe Vinny Gorgeous when he says he absouletly had nothing to do with the murder ...

Tape in Vinny Gorgeous trial reveals mob king Dominick (Quiet Dom) Cirillo OKed his son's murder BY John Marzulli DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER April 22nd 2011 The presumed murder of the son of high-ranking Genovese gangster Dominick (Quiet Dom) Cirillo may have finally been solved - a top mobster says th...

Obviously the Mafia doesn't release quarterly statements of it's finances, so there's really no way to know something like that. The Italian government and various "think tanks" have estimated the Mafia in Italy's worth at anywhere from 7-10% of the nation's GDP or 15% of it's GNP. In recent years w...

Looking at that house, even with him owning a few legit businesses in Texas now, I have to think that he still had a pile of money stashed away when he went into witness protection.

First, giving credit where credit is due, a poster (furio from naples) on another board scanned these maps from the book Mafia Export: How the 'Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, and Camorra Have Colonized the World. They show the presence of these groups around the world in various countries, as well as drug...

Another case involving the Chicago mob was the torture-murder of associate Butch Petrocelli by a number of Outfit guys, including James LaPietra and the Calabrese brothers. They used a blowtorch on his face and eventually cut his throat. I must correct myself regarding this one. Petrocelli being to...

The Locascio crew just used porn sites on the web as bait for their scam. They made even more money off their phone cramming scam. Up through a good chunk of the 1980's the mob had significant involvement in the porn industry because they controlled many of the production companies and distribution ...

And since we can only list them when they are identified in articles, reports, indictments, etc., obviously it's not a complete list of every made guy in New York.

Bonanno Family Administration: 1. Boss: -Acting Boss: Vincent "Vinny T.V." Badalamenti/52 2. Underboss: -Acting UnderBoss: 3. Consigliere: Anthony "T.G." Graziano/68 (IP/1/30/2012) -Acting Consigliere: Capos: 1. Sandro Aiosa/65 - Brooklyn 2. Jerome “Jerry” Asaro/52 - Queens 3. Vincent "Vinny T.V." ...

First, may I suggest using paragraphs in the future. It makes for easier reading. After viewing all the names of capos and soliders i noticed this site has not updated it's facts for a little while , i will not mention any names but there are a some soldiers missing and guy's that are now capos in t...

They did this to Christopher in The Sopranos after he initially was made, they called it the probationary period. Well, in that episode Chris was made to undress on the spot after he was made. This, of course, is a case of guys having to undress at the ceremony itself. But I wouldn't be surprised i...

"The Genovese family is now dominant. They remain a very powerful group. The Gambinos have dropped to Number 2. In the Genovese family, you really don't have that many defectors. They're still very entrenched in the unions and construction industry." - Jack Garcia, former FBI agent (2011) "The Genov...

Dont the genovese put their new prospects on probation for a year? I've read that before. I don't know if that is still the case or always the case. Their little doubt Artie Nigro is finished and will never see the light of day again. Who would replace him. Is he able to stand up under the pressure...

I should add that some articles have said the Genovese started requiring new members to undress as far back as 1989 after the Patriarca ceremony up in New England was bugged. And then you had George Freselone who bugged his own ceremony in the early 1990's. So I suppose the requirement to undress co...

Going back to the late 1980's and early 1990's, the Sicilian Mafia had formed ties to the Colombian cartels. And later the 'Ndrangheta as well. Most recently, back in September 2008 there was a huge bust of nearly 200 people, called "Project Reckoning," that involved the Gulf Cartel and 'Ndrangheta....

Obviously the initiation ceremony itself is basically the same. Though sometimes a simple piece of paper may be burned than a saint card. A sometimes just a gun is on the table rather than a gun and a knife. What's different, obviously, is prospective members being required to undress so there's no ...

I was watching something about this couple years ago on a documentary, there was a war between Nigerians and Italians in an Italian town , to my surprise. It was all about how Nigerians first came as mules and smugglers, but when they reached the town the remained stranded and got involved in some ...

Back in 2009, Camorra gunmen killed several Nigerian immigrants. The attack stemmed from disputes over the local drug trade. And the infighting among Camorra clans is well known.

I think the problem comes from how the newer crime groups, including the Russians and Albanians, have been portrayed by the press; using terms like "Russian Mafia" and "Albanian Mafia." This, combined with quite a bit of initial overstatements by law enforcement itself regarding the threat level the...

the downsizing of the FBI squads has more to do with budget cuts and the reccession than the mob as a priority. It's both. I don't think the FBI needs to devote as many resources to the Mafia as it did in the 1980's and 1990's. But to cut it down to only 45 agents and combine squads seems a bit much.
