Heisting cargo became a multimillion-dollar business for the mob. A racket so lucrative that every single crime family in the NY/NJ area dabbled in it for decades.

Several other Cosa Nostra families in other cities did as well.

In response to a question I originally posed to the forum about the hijack racket, here is a followup story I composed about it. Enjoy

In this expose I name most of the major hijackers who were active in NYC

Before reading it, I am guessing Gotti and Massino HAVE to be in here. 2 Bosses who started out hijacking trucks.

You are correct.

I speak of Gotti and Ruggiero, Carneglia, and others hijacking under Fatico. Massino ran under Rusty Rastelli with that. But I mention loads of guys from all the families who dabbled with it.
