Barney was actually first reported boss in February 2016 in Gangland, it mentions him being boss "for the last few years" by that point so i think people assumed it was since 2014 unless it was mentioned elsewhere. Actually reading it it mentions DIchiara giving information to Bellomo since 2014 so i guess that's why people assumed that. Here's the Gangland where it was first mentioned -
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1543
To my knowledge the first time he was mentioned as boss was by a NY Daily News article from October 2014 and later in early 2016 Capeci's federal sources confirmed it. In June 2009 NYDN reported the rotating panel of senior members, so I guess they had some sources around that time.
Do you have a link to the article naming him the official boss and not just one of the leaders of the family? I believe you i just always thought that Gangland was the first time he had been reported as official boss.
Actually I can't find it anywhere, so I'm most likely misremembering it, and you're correct on that. Although I can't find the other one with the rotating panel, and I know that one existed because Chris had it referenced in one of his older Genovese charts, in which he also had Bellomo as boss since 2014. I'll shoot you a pm with link if I'm able to find it.
I think the mixup is people assuming Barney has been boss since 2014 because in the 2016 Gangland it mentions him being boss for the last few years and it also mentions him getting information from DiChiara since 2014. Also just realized another reason people think it must have been since 2014 is because as Wiseguy pointed out the last mention of the families leadership before the 2016 Gangland was in 2014 where it says they were still being run by a ruling panel so it follows Barney became boss in 2014 at the earliest.
DiChiara was giving Capeci info??
Barney was, Petey Red was passing on info from other Captains like Danny Pagano. Here's the exact quote from Gangland:
But, as Gang Land reported in 2014, in an exclusive report about DiChiara's newspaper industry ties, Genovese wiseguys from Queens, Long Island, and beyond, like capo Daniel Pagano of Ramapo, were also spotted at Petey Red's place. Law enforcement sources report that Pagano, who began serving a 30 month prison stay last year, and others were stopping in to see DiChiara in order to pass on information to Bellomo, or receive directives from him.[quote=JeremyTheJew post_id=128137 time=1572975777 user_id=58]
