The Colombo crew that's operating in the Bronx is DeLucia's crew, which is the former Aloi crew. Both Aloi and DeLucia were convicted alongside Benny Eggs in the early 90's. Their activity in the area can be traced to the late 80's.
You're right, eboli. Now that I go over my notes, it's clear to me that DeLucia is probably more Bronx-based than Brooklyn-based. I'd previously thought he was mostly Brooklyn-based with a few things going on in the Bronx but that's not the case.
DeLucia served (IIRC) eleven years in the Windows case. He was released in 2002.
DeLucia's activity in the Bronx from 2002-2011;
- DeLucia ran multiple gambling parlors in the Bronx
- DeLucia shook down the owner/operators of a rival gambling parlor in the Bronx
- DeLucia was involved in loansharking; one of his customers was Bronx-based Colombo associate Calogero 'Louie Cannoli' Borgognone.
DeLucia's activity in Brooklyn from 2002-2011;
- DeLucia was involved in a Joker-Poker operation with Brooklyn-based Colombo associates Roger Califano, Angelo 'Little Angelo' Spata, and Louis 'Louie Ices' Venturelli, as well as Brooklyn-based Lucchese associate Giovanni 'John' Galluzzo.
- DeLucia was partners in a loansharking business with Dyker Heights-based Colombo soldier Joseph Savarese.
- DeLucia frequently hired Dyker Heights-based Colombo mobsters Ilario 'Fat Larry' Sessa and Joseph Savarese to collect gambling/loanshark/shakedown debts.
When you first look at DeLucia's 2011 indictment, and the people he worked with, it seems he's pretty Brooklyn-based. But if you look at it in context, the 2011 Colombo indictment was based around the work of Tommy McLaughlin, a Dyker Heights mob associate. So naturally, the charges against DeLucia are only going to revolve around his work with Brooklyn mobsters.
Also, DeLucia lives in the Bronx and owns another property further north. So, in hindsight, he's probably more Bronx-based than Brooklyn-based.
