Okay I keep reading that the Sicilian faction took over the Gambino Family in the late 2000s in all the articles about the new case. People on the boards started saying this around 2010.
It's well known.
What doesn't seem to be well known is how and why this happened. Has this been detailed anywhere? The reason why it happened, why the family membership allowed it to happen, the actual machinations of the takeover, why the Gotti gang allowed itself to be displaced at the top of the family, all such details -- I've never seen anything laid out.
Is this info available anywhere?
It's actually been talked to death, kinda like Montreal and Buffalo. A lot of it by guys like me...lol
I will add in this... New Connection proved the Inzerillos maintained their status as a Mafia clan, bided their time, then regained their power in Sicily.
One of the things I still wonder about is Torreta in NY. Felice posted a list of the guys arrested with Ciccio Gambino. It was like 30 or 40 guys. Its enough to make you wonder at what point is it a decina of a sicilian cosche? If not officially, at least functionally.....
Sylvestro Davi is quite the interesting figure, we seem to have limited information on him. Calogero Davi too from the Luchesses...
Would he be considered part of the Gambinos Torreta faction? Is he part of the LUCHESSE Torreta faction? Are there 2? Or one? Is there a Torreta faction within the NY mafia as a WHOLE? Irreguardless of which family? To which Calogero is part of?
Or is there a Sicilian mafia faction within the American families, that permeates all the families? Cali seemed to be the central reference for Sicilian mafia members in operating in NY, in general.
With Borgetto, Partinico, Monreale having representation there, are they extending their sicilian families reach? Or have they become fully integrated into the American system?
