The FBI raided Vic Amuso’s prison cell in 2019

In a bid to learn how imprisoned-for-life Luchese boss Vittorio (Vic) Amuso engineered his bloodless coup from behind bars against acting boss Matthew (Matty) Madonna, federal agents have raided Amuso’s prison cell, seizing scores of papers, cards, letters, and personal belongings, Gang Land has learned.

Mr. Capeci writes, Prison sources say that three agents descended on Amuso’s federal prison cell in Cumberland, Maryland last month armed with a search warrant. The raid, sources said, came just as turncoat mobster John Pennisi was testifying how Amuso loyalists had used threats of a bloody mob war to oust Madonna, a veteran Luchese mobster from the Bronx.
Without any shots fired or blood spilled, Madonna, 83, quickly stepped aside, making way for longtime Amuso crony Michael (Big Mike) DeSantis to seize the reins of the crime family. Also toppled was Madonna’s close ally, Steven (Stevie Wonder) Crea, the powerful Bronx-based longtime underboss.

Vic Amuso is at FCI Cumberland, a medium security prison.Contrary to public belief, there was no mention of a hit list in Vic’s letter in 2017, there wasn’t a hit list in the letter sent by current Acting Boss Michael DeSantis.Though John Pennisi has said that Patty Dellorusso who is the current Underboss of the Lucchese Family told him that he had a discussion with Michael DeSantis about making a move against the Bronx Faction if they balked at what was happening and Patty told John that Mikey and himself know that they can count on him.

So he basically remained in control without any violence, yet the feds are still harassing these guys. This is why I hate the government.

That because the government don't fear the mob,I want to say if they would be rude or harasse a drug lord like el chapo.

It’s because the Mafia are not just some street gang, they are at the very top.Very serious guys were involved in the 2017 transition from Matthew Madonna to Michael DeSantis.
The US Attorney’s office in Manhattan has been building a “blockbuster” racketeering case against Michael DeSantis and Patty Dellorusso

Lucchese Mafia boss Vic Amuso may be imprisoned for life, but his word is still law on the streets of New York https://gangstersinc.org/profiles/b...amuso-may-be-imprisoned-for-life-but-his

Amuso have parents in the mob?

I have never heard of Vic’s father being in the life but his brother Robert “Bobby” Amuso was

And of course bootlickers like you Little Al are on the government's side.

That site is one of the worst for accuracy. I don't know who David Amaruso is, but his stories are slanted. He makes Pete Chiodo sound like a lovable guy and a saint. One story claims Eddie Murphy and John Lennon were Chiodo's friends

Eddie Murphy and Chiodo were friends.....

I did not say that I am on the governments side…
I have not implied that to

Nothing in the letters?

Darn! I was hoping some new catchphrase would top the infamous, “whack jersey”.


Like,….Abolish the Bronx

As if you would know, or were half way reliable.

That's interesting. Thanks for that.

it's just my curiosity,I was thinking that the Luccheses was lucky that Amuso don't have sons because there would be a situation like the snake persico and his son.Maybe the bosses doesn't have sons or try to use his relatives for control a mob family.

Amuso and Casso got what they deserved because they were stupid, and destroyed a Mafia dynasty that was around before they were even born. But at least Amuso is trying to turn things around.

What dinasty are talking about? If you're referring to the Luccheses,it is amob family not a dinasty.

I call it a dynasty, Mr. Technical, there's a book about the Gambinos called Mafia Dynasty so to me it sounds good.

How the hell is it not a dynasty? Vic's own son-in-law is one of the family's top leaders. Virtually all of these families have been dynasties. Didn't you just post about nepotism? You need to learn about the meaning of the word 'dynasty'

Thank you

Amuso does have a son but he’s not apart of the life though he has a son in law named Joseph DiBenedetto who is a made man but he hasn’t visited Amuso in over 15 years because according to John Pennisi they fell out over something personal and it would lead the FBI to put a “bullseye” on him.
Vic has guys who are loyal to him, Vic is not as bad as people portray him out to be

I don’t think Vic’s son in law is at the top of the Lucchese Family because according to Pennisi he’s a soldier on the street and he didn’t even want anything to do with the message that Michael DeSantis wanted him to send

I guess for a few years the nazis were a dynasty too then.

Surprised to see they had a warrant. They didn't actually need that did they? Was it just for future case building, covering all the bases ahead of time?

Can't they toss anybody cell at any time?

He didn't want anything to do with the message that the don wanted him to send? That's the boss! The boss is the boss is the boss! And people wonder why La Cosa Nostra is in the shape it's in.

I miss ur inputs Alice...on the $$$.

The reason the FBI raided Vic’s cell was to see how he managed to send a letter to Michael DeSantis which made him into the Acting Boss

The prison isnt a max security and inmates always used encrypted letters and Amuso wouldn't be so dumb to take proofs in his cell.

The FBI wasted time and resources putting on a show. They traveled to a prison to raid a cell, harass an inmate, and find nothing.

I know but I was saying why the FBI decided to raid Amuso’s cell

Lol they were 2 years late.DeSantis sent the message in 2017.They found out about this when John Pennisi cooperated in 2018
