The Lucchese family was heavily involved in the French connection. After that netwerk was busted in the early 1970s the Bonannos and Gambinos took over with their Pizza connection rackets until the mid 1980s. It seems that of the New York families the Bonannos, Gambinos and Luccheses have been the most involved in the drug trade. They had crews that were specialized in the importation and disitribution of narcotics. The Luccheses had John Ormento and Vincent Papa while the Bonannos had Carmine Galante and Montreal, and the Gambinos had the 'Cherry Hill Gambinos'.
