The Luchese Crime Family
By Jerry Capeci
"The Luchese crime family has been around since the turn of the twentieth century, but very few people knew it existed until the public testimony of Joe (Cago) Valachi in 1963. While the bosses of the other four families basked in the limelight — or cringed with the notoriety — that only New York can create, no Luchese leader became really well known for more than 60 years.
Valachi explained that at the start of the Callammarese War in the late 1920s, Gaetano (Tommy) Reina was the boss of the organization that we now call the Luchese crime family, an alternate spelling for Thomas Lucchese, the name of the boss of the family when Valachi broke his vow of omerta and spilled his guts about the Mafia. It's very likely that Reina wasn't the first boss of the crime family, but he's the first one we have any information about."
