My guess would be Lanni or Camuso. Jimmy LaForte is definitely part of Lanni crew so given LaForte angle here I guess that’s probable.

Giulio Pomponio is a gambling guy that was part of the big Gambino indictment in 2008/2009 stemming from Vollaro cooperation and that hit multiple Gambino crews but I’d think he’s probably a Lanni guy.

John LaForte was identified by the NY waterfront commission as a Genovese associate last year. https://waterfront.ny.gov/news/checker- ... ized-crime

Has it been confirmed if John Matera is related to the murdered Colombo captain of the same name?

Looks like this is the Frank Camuso crew. The LaForte busted is John "The Hammer" LaForte who Capeci reported to be an associate in 2020.
Sources say police in New York and New Jersey have linked numerous other wiseguys and mob associates to alleged Camuso schemes going back to 2014, including Gambino associate John (The Hammer) Laforte, who owns a construction company in Staten Island. Also linked to the operation is wiseguy Louis Petrocelli, who has been spotted in several clandestine meetings with Camuso in recent months.

According to a search warrant affidavit obtained by Gang Land, NYPD detectives used tape-recorded talks that were picked up during the investigation to observe Laforte, 52, and Camuso discussing alleged illegal schemes several times in "a secluded area near Tottenville High School in Staten Island."

Been out of the forum as I had locked myself out argh.
Is it normal that a prior Genovese soldier is then identified as a gambino? Looks convenient...
