Lucchese crime family mobsters have plead guilty to running a multi billion dollar illegal gambling enterprise. Six members of the Lucchese family were indicted back in 2010 after an investigation led to the dismantling of the illegal betting ring. The operation took in an estimated $2.2 billion dollars of illegal wagers using a wire room based in Costs Rica and password protected websites.
“Ralph Perna“
Among those who plead guilty were Ralph V. Perna, Martin Taccetta, John Mangrella, and Matthew Madonna. According to authorities Perna ran the Lucchese family operations in New Jersey along with his two sons who were also indicted and plead guilty. Taccetta is a former leader of the Lucchese family’s New Jersey crew who is currently serving a life sentence for a separate conviction. Mangrella is considered to be a senior member of the New York mafia family and Madonna once served on the families three man ruling panel.
“Martin Taccetta“
Under terms of the plea agreement prosecutors will recommend a prison term of 8 years for the elder Perna and terms of 10 years for each of his sons Joseph Perna and John Perna. Prosecutors will also recommend prison terms of 8 years each for Mangrella, Madonna, and Taccetta.
“Matthew Madonna“
Charges are still pending against Joseph DiNapoli another high ranking Lucchese family member and a third Perna son Ralph M. Perna according to court records.
My boys.
It’s unbelievable how much money these guys make, who’s the boss of the lucchese family? Also does anyone recommend any good mob books on any of the five family’s?
Steven Crea is the current boss of the Lucchese family. Will try and get a list of some of my NY mob reads up in a bit when i get a chance and some work out the way Anthony.
Thanks John 🙂
steven crea is probably the most respected mobster in New York maybe in the US he is very close with the genovese family and is MAJOR in construction he is smart he is 69
Thanks for the replies guys, anyone else in here from the UK? Or is it just me? Since I’ve found this page I’ve been even more into reading up about the mob, this site is so good and informative, keep up the good work

Great to have you back Bobby and thanks as always for all of the great info !
i actually deleted my whole account and made a new one
im actually down the block from mr.p’s house as we speak. I work over here now. they all live in the whippany, east hanover area nowadays. upper class area.
why did you delete your posts
Crea is up there with cefalu , Cali , bellomo and muscarella , the genovese and lucchese family r so close in the Bronx and Harlem they may aswel be one family plus there making so much money that nobody is upsetting that apple cart
Although I think Louie daidone deserves a lot of credit for stabalizing the lucchese family after the mess those morons from brooklyn made
those guys in the 90s destroyed that family that whole period brings back bad memories
bellomo has not been the same since his wife died he is pushing 60 he is not the young kid who got his button at 20 years old.
Though i agree the bronx the lukes and westside are close and in New Jeresy they are really close.
This is wot people say on the forums ( gangsters bb net , if u believe bellomo isn’t the true boss then I don’t know wot to say . Bellomo and muscarella r the bosses . End of story
trust me he might be involved in the life still but boss no way i have heard it from more than gangster bb every one knows it. The guy hardly left his house for a year after his wife died. Trust this guy is not the same guy in the 90s he does not want to leave his family again. Now he could be part of the panel but thats it and musarellla boss please
I dont think the genovese family has had a boss since early 2000s i think the ruling panel has been used since then i know danny leo was “boss” but i still think the setup was a rulung panel
I tend to agree with them being run by a panel for quite some time. Leo i think was “boss” mostly in name but i think as you mentioned it was likely backed by a ruling panel even then.
still at the end of the day even though i have to disagree with you here (i normally agree with you on bb and on this site) you could be right the genovese family is so secretive its impossible to know the truth
They have done a great job at keeping the current hierarchy quiet and it seems even the feds at this point only have “good ideas” and not much evidence as to who is calling shots or if its some kind of ruling panel set up.
they are lucky they know in a sick sense 9/11 kept them alive they know that as long as they dont create heat they can carry on making alot of money its only if they start dropping bodies all over the sstreets again (dont get me wrong there is still mob murders but nothing like it was in the 90s) then the feds will shut them down like in the late 90s
Casso ruined that family
tony ducks made a massive mistake in giving the brooklyn boys the power
