Mosca's crew was involved in labor racketeering, specifically through the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, loan sharking and gambling, and was responsible for receiving tribute payments from Greek-American gangsters operating in Astoria.

Mosca's bagmen in the Carpenters Union were his son Peter, a soldier who was inducted into the family in 1977 the same night as future boss John Gotti, and associate Dominick LoFaro, who eventually flipped and wore a wire in meetings with Mosca, soldier Carmine Fiore, and Genovese crime family associate Attilio Bitondo. He is the brother of Gambino crime family mobster Louis Mosca born 1946.

On September 20, 1991, Mosca was indicted for operating a massive gambling business in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, New Jersey and Upstate New York since the 1980s."


I'm pretty sure Alphonse Funzi Mosca and Ralphie Bones Mosca were different people from the photos. I've never heard of Ralphie Bones being called Funzi before.


This is the Alphonse Funzi Mosca photo in the book Boss of Bosses written by the two FBI agents


This is the Ralphie Bones Mosca photo from the famous FBI chart in the book Gangland by Howard Blum.


Personally I think the first picture is of Peter Mosca,Alphonse's son.He was the one that was made in '77.Think i saw that pic sonewhere.
