Joseph Sclafani a soldier in the Gambino crime family caught a break getting his 15 year sentence on drug charges reduced by a year due to changes in sentencing guidelines. Also known as Joe Boy the New York mafia soldier was will now be set for release in 2023 after being sentenced on drug charges. Lawyers for Sclafani asked for his clients sentence to be reduced down to 12.5 years which prosecutors objected prompting Brooklyn Federal Judge John Gleeson decision that one year was sufficient even though Joe Boy may not see it as that big a break.
“Joseph (Joe Boy) Sclafani“
The feds ruined the Gambino family wiseguys plans to marry Mob Wives star Ramona Rizzo with his arrest on drug charges. The 49 year old mobster also requested a furlough so he could say goodbye to his father who was terminally ill but prosecutors objected on questions of the legitimacy of the illness. His father went on to pass away a couple months later and his lawyer also noted that as another reason his client was due a break.
“Ramona Rizzo“
Rizzo said its about time her former fiance catches some kind of break who she says she is still fond of although wedding plans have been called off. She also claims she is still upset over jewelry the feds confiscated when Joseph was arrested that belongs to her and they refuse to return claiming it was purchased from illegal drug profits.
Part of the reason luis tuzzio was murdered was because he accidentally shot Sclafani during the gus farace hit , Sclafani was in the car wen farace was killed , Sclafani had an uncle who was a captain in the gambino family called vinny oil Sclafani who wanted revenge for his injured nephew
very insigthful
was a bit of it though to do with turrizo asking spero a bonnano capo to make him and spero got offended. Still i did not know this was part of the reason i knew sclafini got wounded in the hit did not know that his so this very insigful
You know. I stumbled upon this website because I was curious about the current state of the mafia. But in reality, these guys are only as powerful as they are allowed these days in the U.S. The NSA, FBI and even CIA have a strangle hole on these families. The days of controlling relentlessly and without problems are over. My best friends sister is an FBI agent and has told me that they are almost allowed to get away with shit, simply because the government agencies now use them as their ears on the streets. Now every once in a while the hammer comes down, but the U.S. government knows exactly what is going on. The fascination of the mafia is no longer. Now it is simply white collar crime and union corruption. It’s plain to see that the IRS can come down if they really wanted too. But, it is allowed to a certain extent. Lucky would be rolling in his grave if he knew what his commission has become. When the DEA wants to cripple structure, the CIA and the Italian intelligence agency go into action in Italy. The only true family would probably be the Genevese. Well, that held the omertà code for the longest. There is just no way to escape the wrath of the NSA and FBI taps. And if shit was to ever get out of hand, the mafia would be wiped out. But they are pawns. The pinnacle was Vegas and Atlantic city. They have some power but in hind site they are not worth knowing aboutb nothing is secret anymore.
That is true to a certain extent but if you look the New York mafia families in last ten years and size have all increased power as the FBI is focusing alot less on them its why many fbi agents are worried that the mob will use this as an advantage to grow for fbi team should have alot more agents focusing on them its why many say they are on the rise yes no wear near the power they had in the 60 and 70s all the families have new leaderships as they are settling again all these families have increased in power the Gambinios have, the genovese have,lucheses have and the bonnanos have the Colombo are still a mess so i would have to disagree with your point
Outside of New York i would agree in part with you Detroit, Decavanctes, Outfit and to certain degree Patrica family are still strong
why have you posted this in the last few posts.
As i said before the la costra nostra is stronger than it was 10 years ago but the omerta died in the 70s. You obivoursly dont know alot about the mob if you think all they do is white collar crime and union corruption as the mob is in to gambling,exotration,drugs,p**n,prostetion,robberys,hjakings and loansharking infact the mobs biggest earner is still gambling andloansharking and i dont consider them to be white collar crimes.
lucky was around in a differant time when the fbi did not come after them. The la costra nostra back theni am sure if they had the pressure put on to them which the mob had on in th 80s some would of flipped.
Also the omerta they beliveved in because when they lived in italy it was very strong so they brought it over here with them the second generation mobsters cared little about the omerta. The witness protetcion is also a big reason many started to flip
Don’t educate me on the mafia friend. Ok. I know quite a deal about them. Including a close friend of my dads who’s mom was married into the patriaca family. I use to have dinner in Somerville with her and her husband.
ok just trying to prove my point that your post contains alot of false facts and knowing someone who was in the mob does not really mean much as they are not going to talk to you about the mob really are they unless they are very dumb or not very high up. Also to say that there is not a huge fasincation with the amercian mafia is rubbish even if a small associate of the mafia gets arrested it gets press attetion because many including myself are fasinated by them
