The Bonanno crime family has allegedly anointed Joseph Cammarano Jr as the new street boss as the Cosa Nostra family tries to rebuild its ranks according to the feds.
Law enforcement sources claim he is now the crime family’s highest ranking mobster on the streets and is also serving as acting Underboss. Jailed official boss Michael Mancuso gave his blessing to the promotion of Cammarano sources said, although it’s unclear exactly how much power and influence Mancuso actually still has within the crime family. His new role in the mafia family was revealed by prosecutors at a recent arraignment of three Bonanno family mobsters.
He is known on the streets as Joe C. Jr. and is the son of former Bonanno family Underboss Joseph Cammarano Sr. who passed away back in 2013 in prison on a murder rap. The crime family has been in disarray for over a decade since former boss Joseph Massino turned on the family becoming the highest ranking mafia rat in history. Since his defection the crime family has had a succession of what is believed to be more than six official and or acting bosses. But law enforcement sources say that even though they keep cutting off the head it has yet to kill the beast and its clear the mob family is once again trying to reorganize.
It may be a tough road for Cammarano Jr. as he tries to replenish the ranks of the beleaguered family as he already has a new FBI target on his back. Although he isn’t exactly a new face for the feds as he served as a capo in the crime family for some time and served a 27 month prison sentence for extortion after strong arming a Colombo family wiseguy back in 2007. Some of the other New York mafia families have seemingly reorganized and strengthened over the past few years establishing new and stable hierarchies. Despite all of the setbacks the Bonanno family has seen in recent years, perhaps Cammarano Jr will be able to produce similar results.
Seems the Bonanno family leadership is reorganizing and it wouldn’t be a shock to see a little more info surface which points to Mancuso not being in control of much of anything anymore. Cammarano seems like a logical choice to take over as street boss although he has quite a task now trying to get that derailed train back on track.
smart guy would not surprise me if this was true and if this is true it shows how little power he and the bronx faction have
Not sure how true this story is , but it Defo seems more plausible than it being anyone from the Bronx as that faction is pretty much non existent . Cammarano took on a lot more responsibilitiy since the death of his father who served as acting underboss
it would not surprise me. Also proves that mikey nose is not in charge he apparently hates mancuso
Nobody in there right mind would think Mancuso is boss
I definitely agree this seems like a very logical development and makes a lot more sense then someone from what may be left of the Bronx bunch. And i don’t think Mancuso had all that much input on this move or any other moves being made with in the ranks.
the power is in queens. The bronx is just a bunch of kids not even a crew
Right hard to see them being at all relevant in whats happening in the administration at this point or anytime in the near future.
Obviously the boss is going to be someone from were the powerbase is at that particular time , there is hardly anyone in the Bronx faction of the bonnanos , the powerful crews are in Long Island , queens and Brooklyn . Why the fuck would they pick a Bronx guy as boss , the most powerful crews would want one of there own as boss . I could understand it if mancuso was universally respected and well liked but he isn’t , which makes even more sense that this guy ain’t boss
Well hopefully Jr. Can do something. It sounds like he’s been around for some time and his dad being underboss,he must know a little on running the family.
