DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/14/11 06:38 PM

Does anyone know of any on-line Photos of the DeMeo crew?
I've only really seen the black and white mugshots of the crew when they got busted that wikipedia uses.
I've only seen 1 still picture of Freddie and that was on Youtube but cant find it anymore.
I've only ever seen 1 picture of Henry, 1 of Chris and 1 of Dracula

Thanks

I don't think so publicly, though I'm sure the Feds took many surveillance pics!

LOL, i hope i didn't offend! I will definitely agree that the IROC is a badass car. I'm sure good ole rosenberg would have stolen many Z28's and IROC'S back in the day, too bad he didn't live to see them!

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/17/11 02:38 AM

Rosenberg might not look like a killer but he sure acted likeone. I mean he stole from and killed the colombians which almost started a war, he stabbed andrei katz like 30 times and threw his head into a cardboard compactor.

Most of you guys probably know Freddie DiNome was a pretty decent drag racer in the 1970's. He raced under the name Freddy DeName and was known as Broadway Freddy. If you look around the old drag racing sites the old time guys have a few pretty funny stories of DiNome.

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/18/11 06:51 PM

Thanks a Million Leroy.

Freddie seemed a likeable guy on the drag race circuit, its sad that Freddie had to get involved with DeMeo!
As always, in those pictures you put up the one of Anthony Senter behind that old guy spooked me the most.
Senter was the meaniest (after Roy) I think.

The shot of Henry and Joey together.......... I wonder if thats when they got busted for the Andrei Katz murder?
Those 2 did about 6 months in the can before Roy's lawyer got them off the charge.

Thanks again

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/18/11 07:48 PM

Apparently one of Freddies favourite tricks was to get a buddy to drive his car around Canarsie whilst he (Freddie) was standing in the passenger seat with his bare butt out the window!!! LOL

He even had a pet monkey that he trained to pump gas and when his illegal dice game got busted he tried to take his monkey to court to testify on his behalf!!

The old man is Arthur Ruffels. Now retired, in the 1980s he was one of the key figures in law enforcement to bring down the DeMeo Crew. The picture is most likely from the 1980s when Senter was arrested.

That area of Brooklyn, Flatbush, Canarsie where the crew terrorized, do no Italians live there now? Or do mafia still operate there?

Flatbush and East Flatbush is mostly a black neigborhood. immigrants from the West Indies - Carribeans, Jamaicans, etc. Canarsie's very mixed; Definitely still some italians there but it's not a stronghold/enclave. It's been Corrozo (Gambino) 'territory' - even though I think that crew all lives out on Long Island or somewhere else.

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/29/11 08:40 PM



Full mugshot of Chris Rosenberg. Screenshot from a documentary.
I also have several semi-rare photos of Anthony "Nino" Gaggi, DeMeo's superior, if anyone is interested.

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/29/11 09:10 PM

YO Edmund that would be cool if you could post those pictures. I think That rosenberg photo is from the Doc War anf thr mob right
Posted By: Edmund

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 10/30/11 07:47 AM


Gaggi arriving to court in 1984.


Arrested by the FBI for running an auto theft ring in 1954.
He was arrested in the middle of the night so that's why he looks tired.


Alternative 1984 mugshot without the sunglasses.


Surveillance photo, date unknown. Most probably early 1980s.

From what I've read Senter had more of a mean streak. He enjoyed the dismembering process a little too much. Also Albert demeo hated Anthony the most out of all of them which is saying a lot
Posted By: GaryH

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 11/01/11 09:21 PM

Anthony was probably tougher with his fists but according to sources friends ran to Joey to sort out problems which suggests he was probably more organised.
Anthony suffered a punctured lung in a vicious knife fight which left him short of breath but he still refused to quit smoking.
Albert says his Dad paid for Anthony to see several doctors all of which said the same "quit smoking" - but he never did!

Ya Anthony doesn't seem to be the type to take orders from doctors lol

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 11/02/11 07:40 PM

My favourite Anthony Senter story is the time that Roy took his son and his crew on a camping trip.
Joey and Anthony borrowed the Winnebago and went off and did a drive by shooting on a cow!!!!
A furious Roy made them show him where and he had to go and bung the farmer a couple of grand to stop him calling the cops!
LOL

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 12/01/11 09:01 PM

Amazing how you never know who lives next door. Harvey "Chris" Rosenberg lived on my block in Brooklyn. He was approximately 5 years older than me. I was friends with his younger brothers. The block we lived on was 95% Jewish, not predominantly Italian like is written in Wikipedia.

I never knew this side of "Chris"! He was just a very normal person in his public life. When he was shot and had his jaw disfigured I was told he grew the beard to cover the injury from a car accident. No he didn't drive an IROC but he did have some cool cars in his short life. He drove a 1972 El Camino SS 454 with a 4 speed, a 1958 Corvette, an older silver Ferrari and a couple of motorcycles. One was a BSA and I think he also may have had a Triumph. I once saw him extinguish a carburetor fire in the Vette with his leather jacket,lol. He also had a friend with a cool 1965 GTO with tri-power. Chris was actually a real nice guy in my eyes. What a surprise when I stumbled on all this some 35-40 years later.
Also "Broadway Freddie DeName" was sort of a legend in Brooklyn. Rumor had it that the cops closed off Foster ave. in Brooklyn and let him run his dragster for a crowd and he even got to pull the chute! Reading the post about Freddie mooning people in Canarsie I had to laugh because I was also one of those people that rode around in Canarsie mooning people. It was all the rage back then,lol!

Here's a picture of Carlo Profeta, I had no idea he was once Roy's chauffer, and was a defendent in of the cases against Roy's crew. He's now an acting capo with the Luchese family, think he got caught in a huge gambling ring a few years ago.

Great story. Thanks for sharing Brooklyn. You hear so many guys on mob forums going on about how they knew this guy or that guy, in this case your story has a definite ring of truth IMO. Especially since you're not making any outlandish claims, just saying what you did and what you knew.

Its so easy to forget in these cases, knowing all we do about certain guys, that they like anyone else had family, friends and neighbours who had no inkling as to what was really going on beneath the surface.

Thanks again. Please keep posting. smile

Wiseguy tries bait and switch
Posted: 2:01 AM, December 2, 2011

Tweet More Print A veteran New York mobster wants to meet with the fishes.

Carlo Profeta, an acting captain in the Lucchese crime family, says he wants to leave his life of crime behind to fish and commune with nature.

Profeta, 69, is scheduled to be sentenced on extortion charges next week. In a letter to the sentencing judge, his lawyer insists the wiseguy will turn over a new leaf after he’s released.

Profeta “wants to make a complete lifestyle change...and live a simple existence in upstate New York,” the lawyer, Joel Winograd, wrote yesterday. He's “hoping to perfect his skills as a fisherman on the banks of the Hudson River and to care for abused and unwanted animals, passions he has pursued since his youth.”

The ex-con also plans to look after his ailing, elderly mother, the lawyer said.

Profeta's facing up to 20 years behind bars, and Winograd asked the judge to consider sentencing him to a shorter term for using extortion to collect a gambling debt.

In their letter to the Judge Eric Vitaliano, Brooklyn federal prosecutors said Profeta has a long criminal history and poses a danger to the community.

They cited his past racketeering convictions, which includes threatening the operators of a fuel transportation company and a restaurant if they didn’t pay protection money to the Luchese family.

On another occasion, Profeta “used violent threats to force a different restaurant owner to pay a particular meat distributor,” Assistant US Attorney Rachel Nash wrote.

yeah artie says in "war against the mafia" (utube) <----great doc very rare, when he saw roy in the trunk he was like this guy got what was coming to him, as he says "pretty good job" lol - I think roy got shot in patty testa's home or garage, and most likely by Joey and Anthony - who else could get roy to sit down and take his coat off?, I also read in his last days he was armed with a sawed off shotgun and was very paranoid, I dont believe for a second that roy went willingly to be killed, I think if he knew what was up he woulda took out who he could first, ya gotta remember he was a very dangerous man who set up countless people himself, check out Dark Visions on utube (dominick montiglio) it only has the first 11 mins but it's gonna be awesome...

his vietnam duties are questionable. its been said that he lied. but no one can really prove it because any kind of records have been sealed due to witnes protection. capeci said that he asked some of the guys that supposedly served with and no one remembered him.

I dunno, I watched that Dark Visions and Dom says when he was in Nam- what they did was "F*ck with the NVA" by shooting them at night with a sniper rifle with silencer - he also says "heros dont die for there country, they make the other motherf***er die for theres", I kinda believe he saw some action but who knows, and as the guy above says his records are sealed due to him going into the WPP - Al demeo says his father felt sorry for Dom as he had mental problems after coming back from Nam, and Nino never used Dom for anything important because of this - I noticed that in some of the old doc's when Dom is being interview and his face is blacked out he looks really shaky as if he aint quite right, maybe just because he's thinking back about Roy and them

Maybe Dom was shaking from alcohol withdraw? He claims to have been a big drinker. I don't buy his NAM stories, he might have been in the military, and actually served in NAM, but his stories stink.

I wonder what happened to the small players in DeMeo's crew like Ronald Ustica, Peter LaFroscia, Ronald Turekian, etc?

I can't be 100% sure, but the age and charges seem to say it is. I remember posting a thread on Chris Rosenbergs wife at the time he was killed, she is a semi famous school teacher in NYC.

Dominic Montiglio has previously been exposed as a phoney, but not 100%. I believe he really did serve with the 173rd Abn Brigade although he could have been a REMF - rear echelon MF. He was not a Green Beret. Anyone with basic infantry training could have rigged up that grenade. One of the early photos in this thread show Joey Testa with another man on the left and someone suggested it may be Henry Borelli but I believe it is Senter.

If I am not mistaken, the Demeo book - Murder Machine- mentions that Joey Testa and the others went looking for some Puerto Ricans who caused trouble in their neighborhood and he (Testa) got stabbed. Now I'm wondering if the book mixed up Testa with Senter ??? or- is my memory failing me?

I know its been debated here forever, I was reading some old articles I cant remember if it was casso d'arco or fat pete. but when vic amuso started hiding out in 1989 he made pat testa joe testa and Anthony senter.pat testa was his liason with Brooklyn, joe and Anthony senter were fighting there rico trisl out on bail. they were inducted into the luchese family. senter and joe testa got life in june 1989 and I think there bail was revoked in early 1989. so it probably happened Christmas 1988 around when jr gotti and mickey scars got made. we know carlo profeta got made what about the rest of them guys ustica,rega Salvatore mangalino?

We all know nino was supervising the demeo crew, but really how powerful was nino gaggi at this point? Does anyone think he had a chance at an upper level position i.e consigliere or underboss because of his earning abilities and closeness to paul?

Re: DeMeo Crew photos? - 07/22/13 01:17 AM

From what I understand Nino's crew was a very powerful street crew and Nino was closer to Delacroce and Big Pauli than other crew leaders because he was a good earner and Pauli was (understandably) afraid Nino and his people. Pauli (alledgely) pretended not to notice Nino's drug-dealing soldiers while he forbidded Gotti's people from doing the same.

I don't think that Nino was in line to be UB in any sense of the word, Thomas Bilotti got the nod after Dellacroce died and Paul was intent on making Tommy Gambino boss after him. Even if he wasn't arrested and died in jail there wasn't much room for advancement for Nino.

Wasn't Nino Gaggi in Big Pauls crew when Paul was a capo? Didn't Nino take over Pauls crew after Castellano was named the new boss?

If Paul ever tried to name Tommy Gambino as the next boss it would of been a disaster imo. Nobody really respected him and if you think the blue collar guys were pissed at Castellano you know they would of gone crazy with Tommy G being given the top slot. I doubt TG ever cracked an egg in his life.

Compared to Tommy Gambino, Big Paul was a stone cold gangster. lol

I'll see if I can dig-up more info on that. I know that Nino was brought in by Frank Scalise.

Yes. Gaggi took over Castellano´s old crew. Frank Scalise was dead by the time Gaggi was made.

I agree, Tommy was a capable white-collar criminal but would have never earned enough respect to last a week as boss. But he was Castellano's newphew, so Paul thought he owed it to Don Carlo to make Tommy boss someday. I think that making Bilotti UB after Dellacroce died was somehow supposed to help make that happen without the street-crews rebelling. It seems to be a bad plan aside from Bilotti's loyalty, from what I've heard Bilotti was incompetent.
