Bonnanos - new jersey

Post by DonBefumo »

Do the bonnanos have presence in New Jersey, like a crew. I understand wise guys live there but do they have an active crew or atleast one in the past 20-30 years, always intrigued me as know other NY families have interests there.

The only families with active crews in NJ are Genovese, Lucchese, Bruno/Scarfo and DeCavalcante.

As Johnny said above, not at present. They had a small one during the 2000s-2010s (Sammartino, Civello). Before that, you have to go back to Bayonne Joe in the 1960s.
All roads lead to New York.

Obviously they aren't definitive but in the Chart Section, Pogo has very helpful Charts of the various families and he lists the current Crews by known active regions.

Here's the Bonanno one, as you can see there's no current Crew known to be based in NJ - viewtopic.php?t=32

The NY Crews listed in NJ are: Genovese - Stephen DePiro, Silvio DeVita, Conrad Iannellio and Danny Pagano. Lucchese - Joe Perna and George Zappola. Gambino - Vincent Beltempo and Louis Filippelli.

To be clear those aren't solely NJ Crews, Conrad's Crew for example seems to be pretty much everywhere. The Colombos also have none.
