Philly Born DeCavalcante Members?

Philly Born DeCavalcante Members? - 03/01/18 05:58 PM

Read that some time in the mid 90s, the DeCavalcantes were inducting guys from Manhattan and were told to stop by the other families. That they could only make guys from Jersey and South Philly.

Which leads me to, who past or present if anybody from the DeCavalcantes was actually from Philly?

Doesn't directly answer your question, but I remember that the late Jackie DiNorscio was originally from Philly and involved with the Bruno family, but later switched to the Lucchese's during the Philly mob wars of the early 80's.

Agreed, as far as smaller cities with a single family. In NYC, however, territory has never been geographically defined. Bensonhurst, Howard Beach and the former Little Italy are representative of this. All five families had crews in these areas. East harlem had members from 4 families.

Interestingly, there were still sub-territories dominated by specific NY families. Canarsie was exclusively Luchesse and Gambino, with relatively no members from Genovese, Colombo and Bonanno. Bushwick was exclusively Bonanno.

I guess that genovese and lucchese who both have big and strong crews in jersey can recruit guys from there and decavs can't say anything about that...

I'd say there are exceptions. Joseph Matranga was officially listed as a captain for Detroit by the FBI but he was based in San Diego. Don't think he ever lived in Detroit.

During the mid-1990s, Gambino crime family capo Nicholas "Little Nick" Corozzo became involved in a dispute over the DeCavalcante crime family of New Jersey inducting Manhattan residents. A meeting was called to resolve the problem and Aloi attended it as the Colombo representative. It was decided in the meeting that the DeCavalcante crime family could no longer induct associates outside of New Jersey and South Philadelphia.

This is what I was referencing.

The decavalcantes was always seen as the minor league. The family born by the union of Elizabeth and New Ark families in the 1950s so most the territorial divisione made in the 1930s was made without them.
They tried to made an alliance with gotti killing Weiss in 1989 but the NJ anyway had a good recruitment pool.

It comes fropm a Rutgers University study. The addresses and names of made members are printed there. It seems like doxing, but this was 1983.

That same HBO documentary also had Joe Dogs Iannuzzi and Frank Minucci, the big guy who they break out of jail in Carlito's Way. He was a leg breaker for the Gambinos at one time. He's also one of the guys Robert Blake tried to hire to kill his wife.

I meant he was the guy in the movie. Thanks for letting me know that Carlito's Way was fiction. Don't tell me Star Wars was fiction, though.
