October 1982:
Capo John 'Sonny' Franzese (Parole Violation that alleged loansharking - don't know if that counts)
Soldier William 'Red' Crabbe
(Crabbe - pretty sure that's not an Italian name, but he was nevertheless named as a member of the Colombo family in a Daily News article following his arrest - was charged with murder conspiracy, although Franzese was simply busted in a parallel parole violation that was spillover from the investigation into Crabbe. Franzese was alleged to have conducted loansharking, however, so I don't know if that counts as an "indictment" or simply a parole violation. Other associates of Franzese were also charged with loansharking).

Pogo

i thought in the 1980s there were more indictments against the 5 ny families

Yeah Giuseppe Grimaldi was made. Although Vito wasn't made until 1991. Thanks for the additions.


Pogo

On Oct. 30, 1988, John Zancocchio was indicted for gambling.

I don't remember if Vito Grimaldi's father Giuseppe was made but he was indicted at age 82 on Apr. 9, 1984 on charges that he bribed cops to keep silent about guns they found at the bakery.
Vito Grimaldi was arrested on Apr. 10, 1984, on charges of gun posession and possession of stolen property.

Robert Attanasio was in the Sept. 1987 bust with his brother on tax fraud charges.
