Michael DeSantis - The current Lucchese Family Acting Boss proved his loyalty to Amuso a longtime ago when he served 18 years in prison for 2 murders he committed that were ordered by Vic Amuso.DeSantis was released in 2010 and 7 years later he decided to write a letter to Amuso that sent him to the top of the Lucchese Family.“There are guys out here loyal to you who want to bring the family back to Brooklyn.” That’s what DeSantis wrote to Amuso and Amuso wrote back giving him his permission to become The Acting Boss.

Patty Dellorusso - the longtime Vario Crew member proved his loyalty to Amuso when he committed the murder of Thomas Red Gilmore who Amuso suspected was an informant.Patty also controlled the Airport rackets for the Lucchese Family, Al D’Arco of course inherited Dellorusso as a member of his crew as he later became the Capo of the Vario Crew but Amuso personally transferred Dellorusso from D’Arco’s crew into Anthony “Bowat” Baratta’s crew.Patty went away in the 90s came out in 2004 and is now currently the Underboss of the Lucchese Family.

George “Georgie Neck” Zappola - Formely a very close friend of Gaspipe, who was also trusted by Amuso to be a shooter for him.Zappola participated in the murders of Union Boss James Bishop, Michael Pappadio who refused to stay out of the garment centre and of course many more i assume.Zappola became a Capo and in 1996 went away after pleading guilty to racketeering and multiple counts of murder.He was released in 2014 and is active today.George played a part in Michael DeSantis becoming the Acting Boss so that means when DeSantis sent the letter to Amuso which said “there are guys who are loyal to you…”Zappola was apart of those “guys” some people believe that George was a close ally of Casso and not Amuso but he is a loyalist to Amuso and was formerly close to Casso.

Frank "Frankie Bones" Papagni - not to much is known about Frankie but he was apart of a plot to whack Steven Crea because he didn’t want the power base of the Lucchese Family to go back to the Bronx.Frankie was indicted on murder charges in the 1990s and came home in 2015.He was apart of Michael DeSantis becoming the Acting Boss.

Anthony “Bowat” Baratta - Former Capo of the Harlem Crew who was apart of the ceremony when Michael DeSantis was inducted into the Lucchese Family in November of 1989.Bowat was apart of a ruling panel of the Lucchese leadership in 1991, Amuso also personally transferred Patty Dellorusso from Al D’Arco’s crew into Bowat’s. In November 1993, Baratta took a plea deal and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.When he was released in 2012, he was placed onto the shelf until Michael DeSantis became the Acting Boss and took him of the shelf and now Bowat is active.

Ray Argentina - Ray had a very close friendship with Louie Bagels Daidone, who would later become the Acting Boss but as for Ray, he proved himself as a very capable guy and later he went away for many years, Ray was released in 2019, he is very feared and the transition from Matthew Madonna to Michael DeSantis will clearly benefit him
