I don't get what u mean by affiliated?
like they just know eachother??? or apart of each other?
Maybe "affiliated" isn't the best word. DeCavalcante captain Charles Stango phrased it as, "Now we run under the Gambinos." The DeCavalcante criminal complaint daid, "Currently, it appears that the DCF operates under the Gambino Family of La Cosa Nostra, one of the five major crime families based in New York City (the "Gambinos")."
Once again, the DeCavalcantes remain a separate family with their own hierarchy. But they are allied with the Gambinos. The Gambino family has a certain level of influence over them and likely represents the interest of the DeCavalcantes with the other NY families. I think it was the same situation with the Gambinos and what was left of the Trafficantes. Neither family merged with the Gambinos in the sense of becoming one organization.
This is how I always took to understand it as well. seperate and autonomous but definitely not equal, almost deferential if the need arised.
I wonder for example if a made DCF soldier gets into a money dispute with a made Genovese guy... like a territory dispute over a card game or shaking down the wrong person or some bullshit.. if the DeCav guy would sit down directly with the Genovese, or if thats when the Gambino connection would come into play, and a Gambino member with more juice & networking skills would sit down instead.
I also wonder if there are any Gambino members who solely deal with the DeCavs...designated liasons bw the two administrations. Im sure there are, just wondering who they are
