Anybody have information on that?

Or even care to take an educated guess?

I wonder when Charles Stango get released, I'm sure they could make him street boss or something and make him a sacrificial lamb

After he got pinched they brought him back to NY. He's still being held in the Brooklyn lockup.

...To the best of my knowledge anyway

They said Charles Majuri was the boss I believe. Unless that's old news now..

Could be. After all, Charlie, and his father Frank, before him, were each highly placed guys in that crew for years. And he's gotta be one of the oldest and most knowledgeable guys left among them.

But his "alleged" appointment to the top spot was reported about some years ago. So, today? Who knows?

Yea, I don't know much but I think it was that cop, Giovanni something, who got close to Stango who said he was boss. As you say, that was back in 2015/2016 maybe before

If I'm not mistaken, Stango has already become a "sacrificial lamb" of sorts.

I can only figure this family is on life support in activity. There may be guys in the family but I'd say in name only for the most part.

I would say that the fact they do still have guys out there and have been so low key for the last decade or two may be a sign they are doing things "the right way". Alternatively as you suggest maybe it's because they ain't doing much of anything...

decavalcante crime family (march 2023)....OR decavalcante crew???

-there appears to be no good consensus or info about who the boss is post death of john riggi and francesco guaracci. there also is no consensus about if indeed this is still a functioning crime family with an administration or now a crew of the gambinos. i will choose at this point to believe they are still a crime family but a small one and getting smaller. the state of new jersey has including the decavs proof of 5 different families operating crews in the state. gambino,genovese,lucchese and philadelphia. also the pagans mc has a heavy presence in the state albeit somewhat involved in different criminal activity. the same can be said for the myriad of different black OC groups. those are just the most prominent OC groups i'm sure there is more.
-the following will be a list of confirmed members and the highest rank they have reached in the crime family.

19.bernard nicastro
-soldier (2000)
20.giuseppe schifilitti
-capo (2000)...possible he is still imprisoned. he was appealing his life sentence i believe.

-the above are my best researched members of this family that are currently alive/on the street. as noted above i am unsure about the status of schifilitti. excluding him as a possible boss that would leave 4 possible members who have once attained the position of capo or higher that i know of. majuri, abramo, nigro, stango. that is not to say a younger candidate was promoted to the position but again there is no conclusive proof either way. i will also add i could find NO CONNECTIONS in the 2000's back to ribera,sicily. these connections existed in the past i will not dispute that but in the past 20 years i don't buy it. it is even hard to find good info on a functioning mafia in ribera let alone establishing direct links from sicily to NJ.

I always thought it was Majuri but who the hell knows. Louie Eggs looks like a boss in waiting

The Plumber did things the right way.
He insisted on all his guys working a 9-5 job and made sure they were able to get union jobs, rather than rob the union for every cent they didn’t have, he was more concerned with having a vehicle for his men to have cover from the feds and earn a decent living.

Historically they have not had many rats.

Before the early 2000’s when they had a wave of guys getting indicted and flipping they stayed way under the radar.

They did NOT kill many and did not have much internal fighting..

So they were a very stable family.

Also, after Bruno if the Westside N.J. faction was putting a lot of pressure on their rackets or even the P.A. family that was now run by a maniac (SCARFO)
It would make perfect sense for them to align with the Gambino Family for extra strength which they have historic ties to, so the other families operating in N.J. would leave them alone.

According to Giovannie the admin is fully functioning, they are recruiting younger members like the DOG, and have a few crews left.

Why they would make big headlines today when even at their prime they just never did would make no sense.

The answer is Tony Soprano.

the Cosa Nostra family based in Ribera is still active as the DIA reported; the last indictment that proofs the links between Ribera family and New Jersey was in 2006

by JoePuzzles234 @ r/Mafia

I'd have to mostly agree with you. Because although their is def a formal membership structure still in place, there's not a helluva lot of organized crime activity out there anyway (most everything's been legalized, lol) and after the family indictments of the late 1999s-2000s this crew was pretty much gutted.

Are they still active? Most probably. Are they still viable? Most probably not.

Francesco Guarraci died in 2016, the last years no idea. Francesco 'Joe' Gatto was an important member and drug trafficker. He died in 2020, most of those old guys are gone.

There are a lot of guys who have died over these last years. Or in the alternative, are old and infirm. Top guys. So, again, thats what I'm trying to ask. Who is at the helm? Who's manning the DeCavalcante ship?

And lastly, I seriously, seriously doubt whether Gatti, or anybody else for that matter, is currently an "important member" at this point in time.

There's little left in the rackets, especially their rackets, to be "important" over.

Gatti also died in 2020, most of those old guys are gone now.

Frank's brother Girolamo Guarraci, also born in Ribera, was a member no idea if he's still alive.

Maybe "Luigi Oliveri" aka "The Dog," also known as "The Mutt" in certain circles is the big boss now. Who knows? He seems like a real "capable" guy to have on top. Lol

I prefer to have a beautiful woman on top, but that's just me

What are you talking about? There must be a dozen names on that chart who are dead?...maybe more. And others who are out of the picture for one reason or another.

I don't doubt they have a few new guys. But if they do, they're not on that list.

Sorry. Anyway if they becomed a Gambinos crew for sure would be appointed a capo from NY and the other families men would speak of it and the feds and the mob experts would speak of the Gambinos move.

In Giovanni's Ring, it describes how Charles Majuri was in line to become boss after John Riggi. That investigation ended in 2015, just before Riggi died, so the book doesn't confirm whether or not Majuri actually ended up taking over. Either way, one could argue it certainly still makes Majuri the most likely candidate for the current official boss.

At the time of the investigation, Majuri was acting boss of the family and the individual referred to as 'Horse' in the indictment. The street boss 'Milk' was Joseph Merlo Jr. In Giovanni's Ring, Merlo is referred to as 'Luca Vitale.' Merlo died a couple of years ago.

If they do have a strong and active family we'll know after NJ leaves the water front commission for good.

The NJ crew never really had a heavy influence on the NJ waterfront. rackets. Oddly, their true strength was over Brooklyn ILA Local 1814. So, whether or not the NY/NJ Waterfront Commission is disbanded or not, I doubt whether it would affect the DeCavalcante Family, one way or the other.

I don’t disagree with you about the past. I’m implying if the commission goes away, I suspect and I understand you disagree with this, there will be moves made to get into waterfront in NJ. If they’re a strong family. Too much to be made not to try. If not they’re just a crew nothing more and probably less.

Im not a fan of Luigi Oliveri.....but ive heard that Johnny Capozzi is a real heavy hitter.
