The Castellammare del Golfo cosca

The Castellammare del Golfo cosca (or Family), based in the Trapani province of Sicily has always been at the very epicenter of the Mafia since its birth.

I had written a very extensive expose' awhile back about their massive influence on Cosa Nostra's early development in the United States, as well as their ancient and more current history.

I had also promised to update that expose' as new information about indictments and their activities became available.

Well several weeks back there was a massive raid and series of arrests against the current boss of the Castellammarese clan Francesco (Ciccio) Domingo, and nearly twenty other "Men of Honor" of their clan.

I have added this info to my previous story and thought the forum would enjoy a nice trip back in time to Sicily, as well as a look at their current status...so hold on to your hats and enjoy the trip! ... only thing I ask is to bring me back a nice Cannoli if you get the chance.

Something I also wanted to mention is that the surname Domingo is an ancient name in the Trapani province. Ciccio is not the first of his family to become a mafioso. In America we also had several Domingo's including the Maranzano gunman Sebastiano (Buster) Domingo of the famed Castellammarese War. He too was of Castellammarese heritage.
