Also checking if anyone has any concrete information on the memberships of New Jersey figure Robert "Bucky the Boss" Caravaggio and Salvatore DiPietro.
This is the only source I have on DiPietro being a member:
Para hacer frente al pago de los premios, en ocasiones Russo pidió dinero prestado a Salvatore Dipietro, miembro del clan de los Lucchese, quien le aplicaba intereses de usura.
To meet the payment of the prizes, Russo sometimes borrowed money from Salvatore Dipietro, a member of the Lucchese clan, who applied usurious interest.
Regarding Caravaggio, he was identified as "overseeing" Lucchese operations in New Jersey in the 2004 NJSCI report, but it never explicitly stated he was a member (https://www.nj.gov/sci/pdf/ocreport.pdf).
Wondering if anyone has anything concrete on any of them.
Any help would be much appreciated.
'You don't go crucifying people outside a church; not on Good Friday.'
Salvatore DiPietro was indeed identified as a Luchhese soldier in that 2006 indictment targeting loan-sharking at the Hunts point market. Can't find online now but DiPietro was ID'd.
I do not believe Bucky was ever made. I know Tumac didn't make him. If was indeed made it would have had to been right before Michael T was pulled off the street. He was closest to Mike T.
The 2004 NJ SCI report says the Lucchese family held a making ceremony for just one new member in 1996 and that this induction was celebrated in NJ. It doesn't specify if the member was NJ-based, though it being mentioned in a report specifically about the Lucchese NJ crew makes that likely. Could this have been Bucky Caravaggio? JD doesn't have him on the 1991 list of members and by the 1997 indictment he seems to be the main guy in Jersey.
We can rule out Scarfo Jr. and Ralph Perna. Not sure who else would be in the running for this one-man induction.
The 2004 report also said Carlo Taccetta was reporting to Caravaggio and carrying out street tax extortion on Caravaggio's behalf. Don't know if Taccetta was made yet but either way could further indicate Caravaggio was at least a soldier.
