Yeah that's the case for the Greek OC up in Astoria. Also here's another thread on here Greek Mafia Talks about the Vesuvious Organization also in NYC And I think the Philly Greeks originated in Northern Greece. Had some kinda ties to a Macedonian group up there.

Yeah a few Italian gangsters were from Astoria.
*Joe N. Gallo - No relation to Crazy Joe, was Gambino's consig.
*Vincent Pappa - A mob guy hooked up with the Lucchese. Who was involved in a theft of French Connection heroin out of the NYPD evident room
But as far as I know the Greeks ran things mostly. Gambling and other related stuff. VIdeo poker. Book making. The LCN was never really that prominent despite the Italian presence. Maybe it was too diverse. Irish, Italian, Greek, SOuth American etc etc

Gambling, gambling, gambling is what the 'Greek mob' is about. Very regional, and generally not connected to each other like the Italian fellas.
Speaking of, what was the name of the two Greek brothers out of Springfield, MA that whacked Bruno? Brain fart! i know for sure there are greek criminals involved in gambling here in the netherlands. not sure if there is a structure like a gang or family. there was an article a couple of years ago about a small amount of drugs founded in a greek cafe wich was a front for a gambling den. so who knows maybe they are in to drugs to. but then again it could be some small time dealers' stash.
