Not sure why this keeps getting posted. It's a fake report. You won't find it anywhere except on that blog. It's just BS.

Ivy, didn't somebody reply to an older NOLA Mob thread that was a relative of one of these so-called made guys and said most of the guys on the list were never in the mob at all? I believe even Furio posted that one, but he still doesn't get it.

I asked about the T ufaro's on a New Orleans forum a while back. They do exist and apparently own several businesses down there but I never found anything tying them to organized crime. Frank Gagliano Jr. is still down there I believe but he's probably old and retired.

I don't recall that. But I did have a long argument with the guy who originally posted all this BS on another forum. I asked him repeatedly to provide a link to this New Orleans report or give me some other way to view it. All he ever did was refer me to his blog. What he did is basically take a few names of real people, added names from wherever else, and concocted the whole thing.

If you go to the MCC site there is no Criminal Intelligence Division there. The blogger realtalk claims he got his info from a post Katrina report from 2010. I contacted the MCC and didn't hear back, so I tried again. We'll see what happens.

Joe Marcello was very interesting and under the radar.

He was very close to the Tampa guys. He was best man at Tampa capo Augstine "Primo" Lazzara's wedding in the 1960s, and after Carlos went to prison (and after his death) was the main contact between the Tampa mob and New Orleans. He met and talked on the phone often with Vincent LoScalzo.

Scott, did you notice that FamilySearch.org just added Florida marriage licenses? Very good high-quality pdfs. Nothing really before the 1920s, but downloaded Santo Trafficante Jr, the Deicidues, Italianos, Manganos, etc. Includes a witness or two for most of them.

Here is some current action in New Orleans. Seems as though Joe Gagliano the current boss of New Orleans got in a little trouble. Law Enforcement. officials here in New Orleans believe Joe was out to knock off his main rival Michael. T-----. Law Enforcement. has believed for sometime. Michael T-----. because of his ties to the NY Colombo Family has taken control. of New Orleans. Well. looks like Joe Gagliano was going to bring and end to Mr T-----. and his control. of whatever is going on in New Orleans Organized. Crime. So I guess New Orleans ia
s not as dead. as people. would have you believe.
