Colombo family boss, 11 others busted in NYC mob sweep: feds

[furiofromnaples]

Street Boss Andrew Russo indicted
Underboss Benjamin Castellazo indicted
Consigliere Ralph Dimmatteo indicted

Captains Teddy Persico Jr, Richard Ferrara and Vincent Ricciardo indicted

Solider Michael Uvino and associates Thomas Costa and Dominick Ricciardo indicted

So what would be the next Persicos to be the boss?

Looks like everybody packed up and moved to Long Island. Wonder if Castellazo's last known residence is that trailer

Long Island has always had a mob presence. A lot of the old time guys lived out here. Joe Bonanno had a house on what we now call “The Heights”, in Hempstead, Long Island. LI is a safe haven for wise guys and hells angels.

But this is huge. I don’t foresee anyone cooperating, but time shall tell.

Where does this leave Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico's status then? If Russo is now the official Boss, what the use in a prisoner having the role of an "Acting Boss"?

If true that Russo is Boss, than there would be no need for an Acting Boss thats in prison for life. He would be a soldier.

Good deal although i would just send in Seal teams after these scumbags...

The most surprising thing so far is that Andy Mush is pushing 90 and is still active. Hopefully, a capo flips so we can get more info.

Multiple high level meetings at the bosses house which Teddy Persico jr (on supervised release) attended doesnt sound very smart to me.

Some of these guys dont know when to quit. I bet if he takes a plea gets out in a few years and he's in good enough health he'll go right back to being active.

What was the point of having an Acting Boss in prison when the official Boss was also in prison. I imagine Allie boy kept his title

The most obvious reason he retained his acting boss title was the fact that his dad was the official boss. Your right it could be possible that they let him retain his title out of respect. But why wouldnt he just be official boss and Russo acting.

[Frank]

Lol maybe after today he is acting boss again or official

[OcSleeper]

Russo is still his cousin so it could have been the same situation.

I mean in the indictment it clearly says andy mush russo is the official boss of the colombo family. Between this indictment and the amato guy on staten island the colombo family seems to pretty much regrouped after the last string of indictments in 2011. I would guess theres probaly a few crews that had nothing to do with this laborer union shakedown. Wondee wear joel waverly was maybe he decided to retire
