According to a recent interview w Ted Otto he said “he can’t specify what cause it’s an ongoing case but the Gambino family and the people that are running it are involved in importing unbelievable amounts of cocaine, multi metric tons. It’s an ongoing case, so I can’t comment more than that but it will be adjudicated in the future”

Multi metric tons? The source gives it some weight but I'll believe that when I see it.

It is much more likely that it is the ndrangheta that imports so many drugs in the States.

ndrangheta is not involved in importing drugs in the States, it imports cocaine in Italy/Europe usually, but who knows

There are ndrine members in the United States and the ndrangheta sell dope wherever they can,so I dont think that they are involved to supply drug to the "biggest junkie in the world".

In 2015 there was the case of Gregorio Gigliotti and his son Angelo but for sure there was men that replaced him as link with the NY 5 family.

While the Mafia has been marginalized in the drug trade for the last 40 years, the NY families have continued to operate at the mid-level multi-kilo and pound level.

A while back I looked into all the drug cases involving the NY mob over the past 25 years. The Gambinos have had the most involvement, as well as involvement of made members, including those at a high-level. The Bonannos and Luccheses were about the same. The Genovese have had more involvement than some might expect but it's almost always been at the associate level. And if a member was involved, it was usually a soldier. The Colombos had the least involvement, relatively speaking, but that was probably more due to the overall state of the family than anything.

Lol yeah I’m gonna take the words of Ted Otto over yourself. Who is ex FBI and said he was working on the case until he retired and that he was every clear it’s happening and that it was a case that involved the leaders of the Gambino Family along with the Mafia in Italy

Maybe Ted Otto imagined he was working that case which he said involved the authorities here like ICE and HSI and authorities in Italy. Maybe they all imagined working it, this ongoing case. I don’t even understand how this can be even remotely questioned as anything other than fact. You think they have shipping manifests and informants and videos and arrests which he said have happened but the case is a continuation also of previous cases, there’s aren’t opinions, it’s facts.
How many Wiseguy cases in New York have you worked and investigated? Otto has worked hundreds and hundreds. He said his first OC case started in 1991. They investigated a violent crew of young Bonnano associates from the Bronx who were doing everything from drugs to home invasions to car jackings and were kicking up money and doing everything they could to impress there guy who was a solider at the time in the early 90s and later rose to be Acting Boss, Vinny Basciano
