Matty Madonna dead at 84

Reports starting to circulate that Matthew Madonna has died at 84 from COVID while in prison.

wiki says he met nicky barnes in 1959 at green haven the same jail gotti was in

i didnt know matty was into drugs

That's was like his main claim to fame. He was a big drug smuggler.

That's what he was known for until the alleged Meldish hit. Dude did serious time and caught an extra two years onto twenty when he refused to testify after being granted immunity. Could be wrong but I think it was Barnes saying his name that got him summoned. He got arrested and sentenced while Barnes was still out though.

Well he beat the 2nd long bid in the end! Why did they hit meldish again?

RIP

And is crea sr getting out or is no chance? The way I read it the case on him was v slim

Who knows... Can't trust shit in papers these days but that whole case was thin Feds have their ways.

Meldish was in debt to Madonna for 100k, when he was told that it was time to pay up he told Madonna to fuck off.

Crea Sr is gone for good. Crea Jr has a chance.

Capeci said he had COVID-19 in GangLand last week. Thanks for the news.

anybody got info on about Matty Madonna's earlier years???

The case against Madonna was ironclad.

Yea I meant against creas and others should have specified

Not much early info public on him except for what Barnes let out. Dude took 30 years and didn't bat an eye.

He gets out in 95 somewhere around 97 hes inducted into the luchese family and is made a capo around 2000. He gets a parole violation in the early2000s cause they seen him going into a hotel were a few capos were meeting. Big heroin guy I'm guessing since the 50tys books were closed in the 60tys he probably would have gotten made earlier

Wrong and wrong.

yep i always thought it was weird why he wasnt given the exception to be made earlier for a guy who goes back to the 1940s/1950s

I do like their surname Madonna are they Sicilian?

but he was around in the 70's . Why didn't they make him then? ( depends on whether early 70's.. when books were closed )
a lot of Luchesse guys from 50's to 70's , were knee deep in the smack business .

I think he was one of those guys that had potential, he sold heroin to the black organizations at the time. He gets convicted & gets sentenced to 20 years for drug trafficking, then in like in the mid 80s they call him to testify against a mobster before a grand jury, he refuses & gets 5+ years added to his sentences. When he gets out in the mid 90s, Amuso saw this as extreme loyalty & goes ahead and inducts him into the family via his ruling panel (forgot which one was it but they had like 3 different panels).

he fell rite in that time period where you either got made real young like carmine persico and frank locascio around 57/58 or you waitied to the books opened again 75 give or take a year. by 75 he was in jail and i read he was in jail in the 50tys so he probaly missed the boat.

His white privilege didn't get him released ?? Meanwhile 30 year old hood rats convicted of violent crimes are being released from Rikers and being given free hotel rooms !!

What do race have to do with it?

See any elderly Italians being released ??

Why are 30 year old minorities being released but not elderly Italians who are more likely to get the virus and have the financial means to support themselves if released ??

Compared to “hood rats” is there enough elderly Italians in jail to even make the above comparison?

Vincent Asaro, Eugene Onofrio, Daniel Capaldo and Eugene Castelle were all released because of COVID-19. Theodore Persico, Joel Cacace, Joseph Merlino and others are also likely to be released from half-way houses early.
Not only was Madonna hospitalized before people started getting released, he was also just convicted of murder a few months ago.

what effect will the deaths of some of the more important mafia members have on respective families?
madonna was going to die in jail regardless so his position in family was already filled upon conviction.
the death of marco d'amico as outfit consigliere may be different because he was still on the street but how active???
some of the names mentioned above pose a future problem for LE.

Chicago does a good job of replacing it's elderly members, they probably already promised a guy the job years ago; also, it looks like Cicero is back! Things should be interesting, I don't think Cicero dominated since auippa

So is the guy dead or not?

Matthew Madonna has reanimated: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.475128/gov.uscourts.nysd.475128.1029.0.pdf

Madonna spent a total of 38 years in prison. Amuso is set to equal that record next year if he lives that long. What a life.

It’s weird yesterday I searched him and there isn’t a legit obituary out there but maybe I didn’t dig deep enough, did anyone else see solid confirmation?
