In a bid to learn how imprisoned-for-life Luchese boss Vittorio (Vic) Amuso engineered his bloodless coup from behind bars against acting boss Matthew (Matty) Madonna, federal agents have raided Amuso’s prison cell, seizing scores of papers, cards, letters, and personal belongings, Gang Land has learned.

Mr. Capeci writes, Prison sources say that three agents descended on Amuso’s federal prison cell in Cumberland, Maryland last month armed with a search warrant. The raid, sources said, came just as turncoat mobster John Pennisi was testifying how Amuso loyalists had used threats of a bloody mob war to oust Madonna, a veteran Luchese mobster from the Bronx.

Without any shots fired or blood spilled, Madonna, 83, quickly stepped aside, making way for longtime Amuso crony Michael (Big Mike) DeSantis to seize the reins of the crime family. Also toppled was Madonna’s close ally, Steven (Stevie Wonder) Crea, the powerful Bronx-based longtime underboss.

Vic Amuso is at FCI Cumberland, a medium security prison.Contrary to public belief, there was no mention of a hit list in Vic’s letter in 2017, there wasn’t a hit list in the letter sent by current Acting Boss Michael DeSantis.Though John Pennisi has said that Patty Dellorusso who is the current Underboss of the Lucchese Family told him that he had a discussion with Michael DeSantis about making a move against the Bronx Faction if they balked at what was happening and Patty told John that Mikey and himself know that they can count on him.
