Organized Crime in New Jersey, 1983

This was a report covering organized crime in New Jersey which was prepared for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee in 1983. It gives an overview of each crime family's interests and illegal activities in the state and also gives brief bios for members living or operating in the state. Charts are also included for each family. Lots of interesting info:

Great find, Snakes.

Awesome post snakes

Nice find Snakes.....thanks.

Anyway to download the pdf without belonging to one of the participating schools?

You can only download it one page at a time unless you have a log in.

Looks that way...oh well. You can also right click and save each page as a .PNG image file if you wanted to.

Good find though...thanks again.

You guys want the whole thing? I can just upload the pdfs from proquest

You can view the whole thing but you can't download it. Do you know where another version is, Nicky?

The hati trust version is only part one of the senate report. Here is both parts in pdf

Part 1 of the Committee on the Judiciary
http://www.docdroid.net/9ggi/org-crime-1.pdf.html
Part 2 of the Committee on the Judiciary
http://www.docdroid.net/9ggj/org-crime-2.pdf.html

This was only among one of several LCN senate judiciary investigations in the 80s. The other big one features nicky scarfo testifying in front of the senate with natale. Natale was a complete smartass, Scarfo pleads in the 5th.

Outstanding! Thanks Nicky.

Oh, yeah, you are talking about the whole Senate report. I just basically lopped off the testimony for the second part and started it at the NJ stuff.

great post

Yea this was a very good find. Thank you for this Snakes.

Great find and info, Snakes. Thanks

Bump!...Thanks for the post, Snakes.

Nice find!

Agreed. Shame the full thing that LittleNicky posted, don't seem to be up anymore.

Very Interesting..thanx.

Few interesting things here;
One, in this article they pegged Chris Funari as the Luchesse heir apparent...
Now, this is two years before the Commision case, and he is Already being pegged as the next boss, and I believe it, because it's HIS protégés that took over, so was he like, defacto boss before the Commision case shit went down? Interesting question... I am VERY interested to hear you guys thoughts on that one....
Can anyone explain why the Brooklyn ( Or was it queens?) based consigliere, has more juice than all those Bronx guys? Was he close to Corallo, like that close?
Two, there were a LOT of zips in the Cherry hill gambino crew, with some heavyweight family names, I had no idea Tommaso Bucettas son was a made member of the Gambinos, I thought all his sons were killed by the corleonesi...
Three, I had never really heard of Antonio Inzirillo being the boss of the Chery Hill Gambinos, I always heard it was John Gambino, but I guess this is after this guy gets killed?
Four, Robert Dibernardo was a DeCavalcante soldier? Or capo, whatever, but, really?
Any thoughts?

Ima actually go back over this article, I feel like I missed a lot of other stuff too, but I skimmed it and a few things stood out...

Another interesting thing; I made a thread once about the biggest loan sharks, and got into an argument about who was the biggest in NY.


Ivey said Funzi, but I could never see how Funzi could be the biggest shark in Brooklyn, or his own family,let alone NY, with all those Harlem big money crews. Dude, this article says Fat Tony had 80 MILLION in interest on the streets.
Holy Fuck, no wonder him and Catenary made the Forbes list.....

Didn't know Joey Adonis son was made also, interesting...

Amazing find,thank you for posting!

Robert Dibernardo was a Gambino capo. I don't know where the DeCalvacante's thing comes from, but I didn't even make it up to that part yet. I remember reading DeeBee dealt with the DeCav's alot, not sure where though.

Can't seem to find anything about Antonio Inzerillo. Never heard of this brother. They mention his brother Pietro. I assume this isn't the same Pietro who was found in the trunk of a car in NJ (he was 32 in the 80s...the one mentioned in this article is in his 60's at that time). Anyone know anything about these guys?

I would assume to the two Pietro's are different guys, maybe relatives. Because Pietro Inzerillo is listed as a casualty along with the others on the "Bruno Wars" list, which comes up after the family chart.

the best part about this report is they provide the date of birth for each Family member. so we can use that to figure out their zodiac signs.

A little confused whle reading this. It says that Greg DePalma was involved with Frank Miceli who was the right hand of Joe Paterno and that Miceli's was an associate on Anthony Delutro. It also goes on to say that Miceli was onvolved in loansharking in NJ. I though Greg was originally from Brooklyn and sponsored by Tony Baker in NY and operated in the Bronx and Westchester. Can anyone shed some light on this and how accurate us this report? Check out DePalma reference on page 211.

Honestly, I've saw a few mistakes early on in the Philly portion. If they aren't mistakes then it's some things I've never heard before, some really contradictory stuff at that. I'll try to go back and find some examples.

Reember, this was from 1983.

yeah they had leonetti listed as a soldier and he supposedly became a captain after scarfo took over

They also refer to all members of the Cherry Hill Gambino's, including Rosario as being made members of the Gambino Crime Family, suggesting dual membership in Sicily & The States, I always suspected this, but was told this wasn't possible over on The Black Hand, and that Rosario was never a member of the Crime Family itself.

SinatraClub, I found this in Five Families about being prohibited to have dual membership.

https://books.google.com/books?id=5nAt6N...ily&f=false

Yes, guys testify or flip and then after the fact say that dual membership is prohibited, yet we have plenty examples that contradict said prohibition. Salvatore "Toto" Catalano for one, was a Bonanno made man, and at one point acting boss, but he was also made in Sicily. Some on The Black Hand, tend to deny this, but every literary source that I've come across in regards to Catalano state that he was made in Sicily. There's also Three Fingers Coppola, a made member of the Detroit Partnership, part of the Partinico Faction, there are sources which claim that after setting up his heroin network in Sicily, he was an active member and at one point led the Partinico Family, in Sicily.

There's John Stanfa, whom was a made man in Sicily and a made man in the Philadelphia mob.


And again, the Cherry Hill Gambinos are prime examples of the contradiction.

I've read in the Sixth Family that guys can have dual membership, but they can't be made boss.. That's why the four other families made a stink when Catalono was made acting boss.. But Catalano and George ''from Canada'' Sciascia were made in Sicily also according to the book..

Billy the post I made is from the Five Families and it tells a whole different story. Interesting about what the Sixth Family book has to say.

The gambinos didnt have dual membership, but their blood kept them close to palermo. Being internationally known as big players in the heroin trade for the past 30-40 years doesn't hurt either. I doubt the gambino network is as big as it was years ago but they still have family and extended family around. Don't let someone bullshit you, they are all balls deep in it.
