Anthony “Whitey” Stango a reputed member of the New Jersey mafia family known as the DeCavalcante crime family was sentenced to six years in prison on various charges.
He is the son of longtime New Jersey mob captain Charles Stango and was busted along with his father, family consigliere Frank Nigro, and other alleged mobsters and associates. The younger Stango now 34 agreed to a plea deal last August on charges of attempting to set up a high end prostitution business and drug distribution. Along with his six-year prison term the judge also tacked on five years of supervision following his release.

According to the feds Anthony sold cocaine on at least seven occasions to an undercover FBI agent and was caught on wiretaps discussing the prostitution business with his father. The elder DeCavalcante family captain is facing his own charges related to the prostitution ring along with charges that he planned to kill a mafia rival. According to the feds Charles met with an undercover FBI agent who had infiltrated the mob crew to plot the murder Luigi Oliveri a member of a rival New Jersey mafia crew.
“Charles Stango“
Attorney Gary Mizzone argued that the younger Stango simply got washed up in the notoriety of Cosa Nostra and actually only had a distant relationship with his father. But prosecutors pointed to the long criminal history for Stango which included drug use, burglary, probation violation, and passing bad checks. Stango said in a statement that he regretted his actions and that he hoped to get through this and be a better father to his two kids. Stango has been ordered to report to prison on March 15 to begin his sentence and was ordered to avoid organized crime figures and gang members between then and now.
Seems like he got off fairly light on the plea deal after being caught multiple times making cocaine sales to the feds. Doubt his father gets off so easily as they seem to have him dead to rights on that attempted murder wrap. That whole crew seems way too out there and just looking to get pinched.
The whole thing was ridiculous I read those wiretaps. Though I will say this apart from charles stagno nigro collea and lugi olveri none of those guys were made including this guy who claims to be a gangster. He is a joke and most of these guys are just kids he was friends with what sort of outfit is when they are talking about killing a guy over a dispute over facebook. Charles was dumb talking on the phone but make no mistake that guy is one animal and killer would.not want to mess with him his threats should be taken Seriously. Those tapes though we’re him ranting on the phone or to the FBI agent about things he should not have been talking about and that murder plot was ridiculous grenades I mean the whole thing was stupidity
The leadership though Frank gurraci he is mentioned on tape but he wouldn’t discuss a lot of these things with stagno he had to go through frank nigro. Also stagno wanted to kill a capo as well but he was not given permission. Also lugi was asking to get whacked insulting frank g. Also he should have NEVER been made riggi made him when he got out of prison in 2012 he should not have done that riggi was in his 90a and retired he created problems on the street

They seem low budget, the crimes they are talking about sounds like something you hear in some hood area. Drug selling ,come on and getting clipped more than once.what happen to the deal and die. Drugs in the mob I don’t agree with. Let the low budget people do that and take a percentage from them. I don’t that how I feel. I did all that when I was a kid ,its nothing but bad news
The myth of the Mafia not being involved in drugs is well, a myth. (By the way I am not trying to argue.) The bosses have always been involved in drugs, they don’t care, they take the money anyways they only care if the guys get caught.
That’s what I said let the low budget guy sell and they take a percentage. How bout this when I say a comment you not reply. I know there been drugs in the mob always back .lucky sold herion .so say something of your own ,not comment on what l say and ruin another thread everybody got there own option. I don’t want everyone upset again cause you want to run your mouth acting like mister know it all. I don’t agree with drugs in the mob. And of coarse Harry Potter gut got a problem with it.
Why is it everytime i read an article about Decavalcante Family i expect to see a “Sopranos” actor pictured? Maybe because it seems the Sopranos laid the blueprint to them.
I don’t think you are the only one that happens too lol The Soprano’s was such a great show and it attracted such a big audience and many people either from location etc associate the real New Jersey family to the Soprano’s.
