I’d love to hear a few specifics, some you defending the family saying they’re into this and that are stating generic points. If you know that they’re into all theses things, which I seriously doubt at a serious money making level let us know what they’re into. What unions? What construction, which feasts? It’s not at any level that you would like to believe or want us to believe. Selling drugs on the corner, stolen goods in an alley doesn’t make them a family with influence. The family def I’d NOT in Newark. That is long gone era. But hey, change my mind if you can with specifics. The family is unfortunately for mob followers on its last very old and very incompetent legs as a separate family.

They have 80 year old wash up Tin Ear at the door and they sell drugs. Very promising future Louie. You've convinced me they have a future

All five of the New York City crime families, plus the New Jersey DeCavalcantes and the Philadelphia mob have people placed in the port, according to Walter Arsenault, executive director of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor. The Genovese family controls the New Jersey side, according to Arsenault.

Good post Furio. The Decavalcante are more powerful in Elisabeth. On unions, look up LIFE-890. Look up James Castaldo, you can find enough information.

We don't have enough intel to know if the DeCavalcante Family is still strong or not, only investigators know. But when an article drops titled something like "DeCavalcante Mobsters Busted in Muliti-Million Dollar Scam you doubters can eat crow.

Read "Giovannis Ring" gives plenty of intel on the current situation and standing of the family....Theyre activities in Drugs,Gambling, Loansharking and Laborers Unions in NY and NJ....
Giovanni Rocco was the Undercover in the FBI led task force that Investigated them from 2012-2015.....

Louie, I do generally agree with what you wrote, but Riggi was Local 394 which is a building local, a different laborers local is for heavy/highway construction. 394 does construction and maintenance work in the oil refineries and factories around Elizabeth.

DeCavalcante Crime Family Underboss Timeline (1931-Present)

Sorry bro but I found that book to be boring and it told me absolutely nothing new except that Stango's son is a buffoon and the family deals in alot of swag.

A lot of the guys in that family have 9 to 5 jobs, makes me think they're pretty serious about keeping a low profile.

Yeah it wasn’t very good.

The book goes into they’re control of the feast, the plan by the administration to murder Louie Oliveri and Riggi and his control at port Newark and in the labor unions in New York and New Jersey as well as Stango mainly dealing in drugs not swag( the undercover agent dealt in swag cause he couldn’t be involved in violent things). Stango was dealing large amounts of cocaine received from the Bloods and the strip club they opened where they were running prostitutes...
You guys read the entire book?

Rat wise looks like they only had 3 made guys which is pretty good compared to most families.

notes
-i have not included any imprisoned members save for stango and colella to try to show strength of family currently on the street.
-i do not live in NJ and do not have any first hand knowledge of the state or cities that the decavs operate.
-this research was done solely using the internet so as far as accuracy the best i could come up with.
-the only other comment being during the 2015 stango indictment stango mentioned that the family were planting flags in new orleans,los angeles and las vegas??
now i can buy las vegas as stango lived in the state but the other 2 ? looking for a comment or 2 on that could find nothing.
